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/
