Tucked into the ever-busy food stretch of Thimbirigasyaya, Delicious Café feels less like a trendy new opening and more like the kind of place you somehow feel you’ve known forever. In a street lined with endless dining options, this cozy café stands out not because it tries too hard, but because it quietly does the simple things right—warm hospitality, familiar flavours, and food that tastes like it was made with genuine love.

At the heart of Delicious Café is family, and you can feel it from the moment you walk in. The menu is thoughtfully curated by a family that clearly loves food—not just eating it, but understanding the stories and memories that come with it. That sense of comfort runs through every plate, creating an experience that feels personal rather than commercial.

Amanda and Garfield Labrooy bring years of travel and culinary exploration into the soul of the café. Having experienced food cultures across the world, they have created a menu that balances global inspiration with the warmth of home-style cooking. It’s not about being overly experimental or complicated; it’s about taking comfort food and making it memorable.

The menu itself reflects that philosophy beautifully. From creamy chicken pasta and prawn pasta with cream and spice to hearty Mongolian rice bowls topped with eggs, every dish feels designed to satisfy rather than simply impress. The chilli prawn with steamed rice and garden salad delivers exactly what comfort food should—flavourful, filling, and familiar. The chicken Mongolian rice is another standout, rich and generous, while the seafood version offers a more indulgent option for those looking to treat themselves.

Their wok-fried noodles have also become a favourite among regulars, offering that perfect balance of bold flavour and homely satisfaction. It is the kind of dish that feels simple at first glance, but leaves you planning your next visit before the plate is even cleared.

For café lovers looking for lighter bites, the sandwich and wrap selection is equally inviting. Paninis layered with mortadella and pistachio, roast beef, or chicken ham with cheese paired with French fries feel like the kind of lunch you keep coming back for. Even something as simple as a chicken wrap feels elevated by freshness and care.

And then come the desserts—the kind that turn a quick coffee stop into a lingering afternoon. The Biscoff and Nutella mousses are indulgent without being overwhelming, while the waffles with strawberries, Nutella, or maple syrup feel like childhood joy served on a plate. Their cinnabun with cream cheese, when available, is already becoming one of those “you have to try it” menu items among regulars. The Biscoff mousse, in particular, feels like a hidden gem—rare to find done well, and here, made with the kind of richness and balance that makes it unforgettable.

Coffee, of course, is central to the experience. From a smooth flat white and Spanish latte to iced mochas and matcha lattes, the drinks menu is broad enough for both serious coffee drinkers and casual café hoppers. Their milkshakes—especially the Biscoff and Nutella versions—lean into indulgence unapologetically. Alongside them, the mojitos have quietly become one of the café’s top sellers, with the passionfruit mojito standing out as a crowd favourite—fresh, vibrant, and the perfect companion to a laid-back afternoon.

But beyond the menu, what makes Delicious Café special is its feeling. It is cozy without being cramped, stylish without losing warmth, and polished without feeling distant. It invites conversation, slow mornings, long catch-ups, and solo coffee dates.

In a neighbourhood spoiled for choice, Delicious Café manages to feel like a welcome addition because it offers something many places forget—familiarity. It reminds you that the best meals are often the simplest ones, served with heart, in a place that feels like home.
