Our take on a slow cup at The Cathay is that it offers a quiet, minimalist escape, despite its shared space with a nail salon.
We think it's a good spot for a relaxed coffee, especially if you're looking for a calm environment away from the usual mall bustle.
The Iced Einspanner Latte, priced at $7.50, comes highly recommended for its balanced and rich flavour, particularly with the Okinawa molasses cream.
The Applewood Smoked Cheddar Biscuit ($6) is also noted as a good pairing, offering a savoury, buttery profile with a unique apple, chai, and sage jelly.
While the space is small, it's generally described as cosy.
We'd suggest visiting on a weekend morning before 10am to avoid potential busyness from nail salon appointments, which could introduce more foot traffic or chemical smells.
It's a reliable option for a good cup of coffee and a quiet moment.
