If you’ve ever studied Latin, you’ll know that Felix Culpa is a phrase that refers to an error with happy consequences.
I personally was never one for Latin, but I was into coffee, and so I have taken the time to learn all about Felix Culpa in Reservoir. It’s the latest café in this northern suburb that was created by Danny Lam and Sharad Perera. True to the Felix Culpa name, the pair decided to open a café together, after careers in non hospo industries. It was the case of their fortune emerging as a consequence of both leaving their careers in real estate and retail.

Read moreMy friend and I enjoyed having brunch here! The place has a nice feel about it. The staff greeted us with a smile and we were kindly asked, if we didn't mind, to sit at the counter while we waited for a table and the food we ordered, as the place was quite full. They have a lovely seating area out the back and some seating outside, out front, but it was too cold to sit outside! The mocha and hot chocolate were wonderful and even though there wasn't a huge range of food to choose from, it is adequate for a breakfast, brunch or light lunch. The place is also very clean and that's a MUST, as far as a food places go! My friend and I will definitely be...
