Urban Pantry | 1000 Fields of Roses

Coffee And Instagram

Went out for a little- bean-free date today – had a lovely time!
Also, I have Instagram!
I don’t really know how to use it – it’s just a jumble of “let’s try this!” 😉

Here’s the jumble! 😀

A random shelf – full of yummy things!

The backdrop to our table.

Food! We had a gluten free coconut/caramel cake.

Large ironwork lanterns..

A mini tableau.

What you see as you come in the door 😀

We went to Urban Pantry, which I have been reliably informed has the best coffee in the city.. Check it out next time you’re in town!

The boys were back at their Youth/Kids evenings tonight, so we had a coffee at Urban Pantry and enjoyed the start of the crisper weather… I love the cooler nights, when you just can’t decide whether to put a jacket on, or not 😀

There were herbs and heritage plants to hide the traffic..

.. and live music to listen to..

Yes, I know that’s a very fuzzy photo..
This is Rebecca O’Donnell – check out her music (downloadable from her site) here..

We had a longer time to savour our coffee/tea.. biggest boy walked to his group meeting. It was a lovely end to our evening, and we got to catch up with friends, as well as chatting to various people..

A friendship circle (you put a candle in the middle..) and the remains of the coffee/tea.. feeling the community vibe at the Top of Town 😀

Coffee On The Street..

Lately, we’ve had just enough time between dropping off and picking up boys on Friday evening to have a cup of tea/coffee at Urban Pantry in town..

Tonight the oldest’s evening thing was earlier than normal, which meant we dropped them off one after the other, and had an hour before the first pick up. We started off by going to D’Arcy Doyle Place, where there was a “Prayer for the city” event, but we could only stay a half hour before we went back for coffee. We’ve been catching up with some people we met one Friday evening, and who have been there each Friday since… unfortunately they didn’t get there tonight 😦 but we enjoyed our evening, and saw some other people we knew..

There was a jazz type band playing while we sat outside the cafe (out of tune, says hubby… and, well, yes… but it didn’t matter..) I used to go to a cafe years ago after I finished work. There was always music playing somewhere or other. I miss doing that. There’s something about a dark sky, live music, and a good coffee…
