A Bungalow in the Burbs

I spied this cafe when I took a different route home. Situated on Hawthorne Road, Hawthorne, Bungalow 4171 (the postcode) has been beautifully renovated into a warm friendly cafe.
The food offerings in the cabinet looked delicious and yes, I succumbed to the Pineapple and Coconut Gluten Free cake.  The cake was beautiful, light and full of soft pineapple sitting on the background of coconut. The tables were served by a charming and welcoming team in striped butcher's aprons.
The decoration of the cafe is consistent and a pleasure to the eye (something not every cafe "gets"). Personally I like to sit in lovely surroundings and this place does it for me.  The green tones throughout were really nice and I loved the wall of flocked paper.
I choose an indoor seat but as I looked out the window I caught sight of a man sitting in the row of outdoor Adirondack chairs chatting to his dog as he sipped his piccolo. It made me want to head outdoors except I knew it was hot.
As I left, I passed the little nook with two cute chairs in it and then the wooden outdoor tables down the side of the cafe. So there was seating for all tastes. This cafe might just become a regular and I'll be heading back to try out their breakfast menu.
