Overview

About This Establishment

Inside Cafe This Way, the vibe fuses a hip urban coffee shop with a casual, white-cottage exterior. The Lobster Omelet pairs chunky lobster with custardy eggs, while the White Bean Shakshuka hides perfectly poached eggs in a briny tomato glow. The Blueberry Pancake delivers a crisp-edged bite with house-made strawberry jam, a texture contrast that sticks to the memory.
