Cafe Magic

We are located on Fergusson College Road, right at number 3. If you know this area, you know how busy it gets with all the students and people shopping. Our cafe is just a small part of that madness. We spend most of our time making coffee and heating up snacks for the crowds that come through after classes. The place isn't very fancy. We have some basic wooden tables and the lighting is just okay. It gets pretty loud in here because everyone is talking at once, but that’s the energy of FC Road. We don’t really have a set routine other than opening up and making sure the machines are working. Sometimes the espresso machine acts up and we have to fiddle with it for a bit, which can be a pain. We try to keep things moving fast because nobody likes to wait when they’re on their break. The walls have some old posters on them and the floor is a bit worn out from all the walking, but we think it gives the place some character. We aren't trying to compete with the big chains. We just want to be a place where you can get a decent drink without any fuss. It’s a lot of standing and a lot of washing dishes, but we’re used to it by now. That’s just life at Cafe Magic on a Tuesday afternoon.
