The Museum of Contemporary Art is located in the heart of Sydney, nestled below the Harbour Bridge and opposite the Opera House. The museum features a large permanent collection of Aboriginal Art, as well as numerous temporary exhibitions, many of which are free to access.

Circa Espresso Cafe

Circa Espresso Cafe  This weeks café topic revolves around ‘ Circa Espresso’ . This café is located near Parramatta Westfield and train station , thus its easy to get to via public transport. Although its an extremely tiny and narrow café with hardly any space to move around, I guess whats what makes this place really cosy and comfortable. They have a unique menu , my personal favourite is their ‘winter bowl’ which is a combination of poached egg, haloumi, couscous , figs and middle eastern spices plus a Greek style dip to balance it off. I love to pair this with chamomile tea as it’s a perfect and soothing combination . My favourite part about this café is the interior décor as there is a gigantic pug background and after all that’s the breed I adore the most. However, the issue is its rather pricey , so a good option is to go in a  big group to split the prices. Address:  21 Wentworth St, Parramatta NSW 2150 References for photos: Photo 1: https://media.timeout.com/
