A coffee with an arty view
Janus has set up two coffee shops in one of the latest and greatest CBD buildings, 1 Bligh. The rounded building is quite impressive and the best views are seen from within looking up through the skyward atrium. A large public art sculpture sits outside which you'd be hard pressed to miss. My hot chocolate ($4, pictured above) is perhaps a bit on the milky side and I would have preferred it to be more chocolatey but the service was friendly and efficient. The seating is quite comfy although the tables are on the small side so a little hard to have a coffee meeting with four people unless you join two together. There's quite a few tempting pastries and colourful macarons on offer which I only noticed after having my hot chocolate. The service counter is rather hidden internally by a large wall which can also cause a blind spot for service. The noise factor seemed to be OK due to probably the vast internal space absorbing the sound.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Interesting space, Friendly and professional service, Tempting cakes and pastries, Comfy seating
CONS: Smallish tables which are good for having meetings with paperwork, Wall behind cafe creates a blind spot for service attention
MUST TRY: The macarons and pastries next time
