For a business that basically does char grilled sticks of stuff with a sauce you could have by the bath tub, it’s doing pretty well for itself.

As I mentioned in the last post, at last Katherine Wheeler and Abby Seymour have collaborated and the result is quite a beautiful exhibition ‘Hidden Facets‘.

Breadwell is one of a multitude of coffee shops situated right near my workplace. A differentiator is its great selection of teas (including a pretty great chai if you are that way inclined). I recently noticed a new inclusion in the cakes cabinet – teeny tiny little macarons. Obviously they were calling for me to try them.
The other day I had a quick lunch with my mum, she had olive tapenade and bread ($6) and some meatballs ($7):
