ARISTA

ARISTA, a specialty coffee café, delivers an exceptional overall experience across food, drink, atmosphere, and service at an affordable price point. The reviewer ordered a caramel latte and a smoked salmon, cream cheese, and caper bagel, both of which were highly praised. The café specialises in coffee and also offers breakfast, brunch, and savoury options. Pastries are sourced from local bakeries. The interior features neutral tones and cosy furniture, creating a relaxed atmosphere suited to leisurely mornings.

Joey's Cafe, a bakery-style café located inside a boxing venue called Jab, offers a retro 1950s American aesthetic that the reviewer found impressive. The reviewer ordered the Joey smoothie, containing strawberries, blueberries, collagen, and 51 grams of protein. The flavour was underwhelming and tasted artificial, attributed to heavy use of protein powder. The reviewer compared it unfavourably to the Hailey Bieber smoothie from Acai One. Overall, the experience was average, with the vibe standing out as the strongest element and the taste falling below expectations given the upscale pricing.
