Robot obsession
Behind the cute and innocent white wooden facade of Robocog Cafe lies an obsession with robots which would certainly be the downfall of anyone that has a case of Automatonophobia. I pick the Freezochino ($4.50) based solely on the name. Coming up with funny or strange menu names is a great marketing gimmick which usually works on me. The low fat ice coffee frappe is generous in size and certainly a refreshing if not chilling way to cool down the taste buds. My friend's Tutti frutti ($4.50) is a mix of fruit and berries freshly blended and is well liked. Service was friendly and the limited seating outside is filled up quickly by its popularity. I hope to return to try the coffee and other items on the menu.

but..how many fixed gear bicycles did you count?
Looks like a gorgeous little place, and i can't go past a good coffee frappe :)
After reading your blog for a while, I have this question - what's the point of taking pictures of menus if they are impossible to read??
hi hollypop, i think i only counted 1 in the cafe?
hi muppy, i hope you get to try it one day.
hi anonymous, thanks for the feedback. i was wondering if it might be too small to read. i've now updated with some cropped in menu shots. hopefully it makes it a bit easier to read :-)
Simon, that's better, thanks for that. I think it's a good idea to put bigger pictures of menus all the time. When a cafe/restaurant doesn't have a website, blogs are the only way to find out what they offer.
hi anonymous, i'm glad it has helped. i totally understand when it's hard to read the menu. you're right when sometimes the only way of knowing what a place has on the menu is via a blog that shows the menu as lots of places don't have websites etc. i usually try and make the menu legible so thanks for pointing that one out. i thought it was ok at the time but it's great to get feedback if something can be better :-)
