At first glance, Amoene Cafe looks like it came straight out of a fairytale or a cartoon as it resembles two houses leaning against one another.

It is an apt location for a romantic date as it even has a heart-shaped door that welcomes you.

Upon entering the cafe, you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported into the world of Alice In Wonderland as even the windows and doors are tilted.

That said, the floors are perfectly level, so you won’t have to be worried about trying to balance your cup of coffee on an off-kilter table.

The toilet in the cafe is also slanted to one side, but if you fear that you may not be able to do your business in peace, head to the regular toilet on the first floor of the cafe.
Spacious and vast premise

In stark contrast to its cottagecore exterior, the interior of the cafe has brightly coloured walls and furniture, giving it a trendy and modern feel.

The vast premises of the cafe spans two floors, and there are many different types of seats to choose from, such as cushioned, wooden straight back chairs and wireframe lounge chairs.
