Memorial Cafe

I recently spent 5 days in St. John's and happened upon Memorial Cafe as it was close to my hotel. A chilly February evening, I came from the cold to find a cute, funky cafe with lots of interesting books lining the windows. I got Amsterdam vibe immediately. While I perused the menu at the cashier, a very pleasant voice greeted me and we talked about the various specials. My eye went right to Butter Chicken & Naan. Being from Vancouver, I thought it would interesting to compare it to the west coast fare. It was delicious, the serving was large, I was so tired from my long flight but I ate every bite. The price was good, looking forward to moving here.

I was really disappointed with this place. The service was okay, the coffee wasn’t great considering their prices are similar to other excellent cafes nearby. I was mostly shocked by the state of the interior, it looked like it was falling apart. The floor was cracked and peeling, same with the tables and chairs. It felt like I was dining in an abandoned house. Not to mention the makeshift table (crates with a blanket thrown on top). It is not a space you want to hangout in. This cafe is in a beautiful area of downtown and could be so successful if proper care was taken of the space. I hope the owners consider this.

This might just be my favorite cafe in the city now. The food is amazing and was prepared quickly, and the owner is the sweetest person ever. Just the place to stop by at after walking around downtown for a while. The ambiance is also very cozy and relaxing:)
