Lazy Sunday Chilling

Great Motown classics play on the speakers, ideal for a lazy Sunday afternoon.Wood & Steel_3

The staff members are fairly friendly; there’s a very casual, chilled-out vibe here. Wood & Steel_4

Coffee

The coffee? Definitely drinkable.Wood & Steel_5

Cakes

Cheesecake, enjoyably edible. Wood & Steel should also be serving brunches by now; we were here during the recent extended weekend, but when we asked a barista what hot food would be available, she was only willing to say, scrambled eggs.Wood & Steel_6

March 2014 update: Breakfast is currently available 9am-5pm, while lunch items such as pastas and stuffed chicken are served noon through 1030pm. Wood & Steel now also has open mic sessions every Friday night; the cafe has also expanded to include a cosy first-floor level.Wood & Steel_7
