Café Chez Amel blends North African warmth with a modern café sensibility. The space feels deliberate—wooden tables, open seating, and just enough décor to keep it stylish without slipping into theme territory. On the menu: crepes, smoothies, desserts, and a Tunisian-spiked lemonade that surprises in the best way. The Moroccan mint tea comes steeped and sweet, but if you’re after something colder, the iced latte (pulled on a proper Gaggia machine) holds its own against the city’s best. Owner Amel runs the place with easy charm, greeting newcomers and regulars alike, and the vibe shifts naturally between solo laptop time and laid-back meetups with friends. It’s a calm spot in a neighbourhood not always known for café culture, and that makes it stand out.
