Unmistakably Julie ... Little Allegra Cafe

Avocado gelato ice cream with nuts served in a croissant
It was an after lunch a dessert …something different ..a homemade ice cream called avocado gelato. I’d heard of this small place that was cozy .. so i went and tried it after .. all it was a lazy Sunday afternoon.   

The serving was a double scoop ice cream with a nutty topping and served in a croissant (reminisce of the old school days having a scoop of ice cream in a bun) well this was much more flavorful and did its job as a dessert.

The dessert was part of the discovery but it was the décor of this place…refreshing, quirky and well different.
 
 26a Jalan Keliling, Canning Garden ..1 table outside and 4 more inside ..love the frangipani painted flowers

Eclectic ...a wooden door for a banner
The name was ‘little Allegra” and was an annex of a bungalow. Frangipani trees in the garden led up to the entrance. Inside was small but cozy with just four tables, a service counter and an array  of ready-made pastries on a shelf.



Ready pastries 
It was the décor that caught my eye. Eclectic should be the appropriate description and that reminded me of the first Indulgence Café, years ago, along Cecil Rae Lane across Canning Garden Market.
 
Quirky ... colorful sewing threads for decoration ... unmistakably .....

Yep I inquired and got confirmation, the owner was one and the same..it was Julie.
