The entrance stops you before you even step inside. The entire facade is covered in deep green ivy — lush, patient, climbing every inch of the red brick wall. Above the warm wooden door, the word "Jour" is written in simple cursive script. The most beautiful café entrance in Fitzroy.
Inside: white walls, white bentwood chairs, a coffee bar as calm as a French kitchen. Outside, Parisian-style tables sit on the pavement — and across the road, retired train carriages rest on a rooftop, covered in graffiti, watching the street below.
I came on a Sunday morning and ordered a flat white and the French crêpe — blueberries, berry coulis, icing sugar, grilled lemon. One of those dishes that surprises you. The canelé and madeleine from the pastry cabinet are made properly and worth ordering every time.
Come without plans. Sit outside. Order something French. Let the morning take its time.
这家咖啡店的门口是爬满绿色爬山虎的。整面红砖墙被浓密的常青藤覆盖,茂盛、安静,每一寸都是绿色。温暖的木门上方,"Jour"两个字用简单的手写体刻着。这毫无疑问,是菲茨罗伊最美丽的咖啡馆门口。
走进去,世界完全变了。白墙,白色的弯木椅,干净得像一间法国厨房的吧台。店外,是巴黎风格的小黑桌椅摆在人行道上。坐在那里,抬头望向对面,你会看到一个地球上独一无二的景象:几节退役的火车车厢,停在对面楼的屋顶上,涂满了涂鸦。
我是周日早上去的,点了一杯澳白和法式可丽饼——折叠金黄,裹着蓝莓与浆果酱,撒上糖粉,配一片炙烤柠檬。那是一道会让你惊喜的甜点。咖啡干净、平衡,恰到好处。点心柜里的焦糖布丁蛋糕(Canelé)和玛德琳(Madeleine)每次来都值得点。
不带计划地来,坐在店外,点一样法式的东西,让这个早晨想去哪里就去哪里。
