Cha Cafe do

Cha Cafe do’s French toast is baked slowly in the oven, so it takes around 20 minutes to arrive. Diners who have ordered it describe a piping-hot serving in a skillet, with thick, satisfying slices of bread. Another diner praised its fragrant, lightly crisp exterior and soft, smooth centre, likening the texture to custard pudding; they enjoyed it with ice cream. The menu lists maple syrup as an accompaniment, so you could try the toast on its own first, then pair it with the cool ice cream. If this slow-baked dish is the draw, allow time for the wait and settle in for a leisurely visit.

For something sweet with coffee, consider the hand-dripped options. Mocha Ethiopia is described as having lemon-like acidity and a floral aroma; Brazil Santos offers a good balance of acidity and bitterness, while Colombia is noted for its restrained acidity and full body. Taiwan tea and herbal teas are also available, giving the drinks menu a breadth that suits Cha Cafe do’s name. For dessert, choose the house-made smooth pudding on its own or topped with vanilla ice cream. The matcha Basque cheesecake also comes with vanilla ice cream, adding another option for those in the mood for something sweet.

The morning menu includes sets with croissant or avocado sandwiches, offering a lighter savoury alternative to French toast. One diner particularly enjoyed the avocado croissant sandwich, so the menu also has something to tempt those looking beyond sweets.
