For years Barefoot Coffee Traders were renowned for two things: their specialty coffee and amazing waffles. And while they're not ones to budge in the coffee department — they serve Mecca and have a firm no decaf and no large coffees rule — we're happy to report they've since branched out in other ways. In addition to their signature waffles, which they drizzle with melted Belgian chocolate and an optional scoop of ice cream, Barefoot now serves a Thai lunch special as well (I guess it probably isn't healthy to have waffles for lunch every day). Inspired by the heritage of the cafe's owner, these new additions are homemade and based on traditional recipes. With space for little more than a coffee machine in one corner and timber stools dotted around the perimeter, it's quite astounding what this small cafe is able to produce.
