Not just about the aesthetics, Kafe Utu’s offerings were surprisingly good - though my experience is currently limited to a couple of their drinks and dessert.

A fun and interesting take on the all-familiar mocha, their Bidibado “Abracadabra” ($6) is served with pink peppercorn, roasted nuts, natural peanut butter, and a mix of spices which added a gentle peppery note to the smooth dose of caffeine. Light and fragrant, the Utu style mocha was also rather mild by itself hence the nutty and spicy elements provided a nice balance.
