Café azzara, newtown

Mokambo coffee. Once upon a time, this place (6 king st) was a vegetarian café called the Green Iguana. Now, under new management, it’s an al new café with full kitchen and espresso bar.

It’s hard to tell the flavour of the coffee from the affogato the ice cream masks the coffee flavour with its sweetness. A latte tells a different tale: it’s a bit like grinders coffee; middle-of-the-road, nothing fancy, but drinkable.

Food is reasonably priced, not cheap, but not extortionate either.

    Tried it and loved it!!! It has just been reopened after reno’s and looks fantastic. Never heard of Makambo coffee, but after having a short black i guarantee you that you have never seen a creamer coffee!!!

    Poppy is a legend. She’s a great psychic and a wonderful friend. She is now at 22 Enmore Road, Newtown. Have fun
