Devon CafeSince restarting uni, I've also discovered a love of staking out cafes for a nice cup of coffee and some good food. I've teamed up with Kristy from thegirlofnovels to scout out great food at student prices.

Having heard only good things about Devon (and its rather peculiar name), we decided to head there during our two hour break between classes. Its close proximity to my uni made it perfect for tired students for a pick-me-up.
Stepping through the doorway to Devon was like coming home to a roaring fire on a cold winter's day. The walls and floors were paneled with a beautiful light wooden finish with the tables and chairs set to match. I was instantly drawn to the cozy atmosphere. Devon certainly made the most out of its limited space - there was a communal table in the front room, as well as bar seating facing the street.
Through the hallway, there was a peek of another "room" - it turned out to be the outdoor seating area.The outdoor seating area retained the cozy feeling of the cafe, however it also provided a "street" vibe - the back walls were covered with artistic graffiti tags, juxtaposing the adjoining courtyard bursting with green foliage.
I ordered the bruschetta; whilst Kristy ordered the pasta salad. Little did I know that this would set off my bruschetta obsession. The bread was crispy without being too tough (just the way I like it) and it contrasted wonderfully with the smoothness of the thickly layered hummus and eggplant. It was gourmet food at a budget price of $10.
I thoroughly enjoyed discovering and eating at Devon Cafe and I look forward to more visits there in the near future.
