This peculiar concept cafe enjoys a lovely riverside locale and is run by a busy young team of foodies who specialise in desserts, fancy teas and organic produce. The cafe's signature dish is an enormous fluffy pancake (too big for one). The kitschy decor includes piles of kids' books, lo-fi Japanese CDs and an unnerving number of yellow rubber duckies.
