Happy Aura

At Happy Aura, one diner described the pancakes in a set with coffee as “like chiffon cake”. It’s a pairing for taking a leisurely break over a light-textured pancake and a drink.

There is a wide selection of hand-dripped coffees, including Blue Mountain, Mocha Yirgacheffe and Brazil Nibra. The menu describes Brazil Nibra as having gentle acidity, a smooth mouthfeel, a toasty aroma and caramel-like sweetness. Colombia Magdalena is described as balancing bitterness and acidity, offering a useful guide for choosing according to your preferences.

Another diner ordered Ethiopia Geisha and enjoyed it with the roasted peanuts served alongside the coffee. Curry rice with iced coffee is another reported combination. The café could suit a day when you fancy pancakes and a pause, as well as one when you’re looking for lunch.
