Apte

APTE stands for A Place To Eat,and eat they do:undeterred by the cafe's lonely location on a busy main road,families pile in for typical big brekkies,steak sandwiches and pikelets. The coffee menu is more adventurous,with a choice of house blend,filter and changing single origins;the latter,as a deftly pulled espresso,could be a mellow and velvety San Vicente from Honduras with caramel fudge aromas and sweet-citrus acidity. Tea drinkers can indulge in specialty greens brewed at the appropriate 70 degrees,or lemon verbena - house-grown in the leafy,traffic-less haven of the courtyard.
