Flashback to 10 years ago, I was visiting the same café, Fresh Fruit Lab. Now, thanks to the recent hype over my favourite plush toy, Jellycat, I’ve found myself back here again, only this time in different company.

The café now goes by a new name, Simplicité by Fresh Fruit Lab, and stepping inside isn’t so much a wave of nostalgia as it is a warm welcome into an atmosphere buzzing with hype and the many interesting characters that Jellycat has to offer.

Most diners were indulging in the Jellycat Whimsy Hour set, designed for two at $55.90. Presented as a charming two-tier high tea, it features an array of patisseries and savouries. The set also includes your choice of a pot of tea or coffee to complete the experience.

We opted for calming chamomile tea over coffee, and were delighted to find that even the teaware was as lovely as the set itself.

For the patisserie selection, we had macarons, strawberry tartlets, raisin scones, milk tea vanilla mousse, and raspberry glacé rings. While most were enjoyable, the milk tea vanilla mousse tasted a little off for us.

For the savouries, we enjoyed truffle cold angel hair, smoked salmon canapés, and prawn bruschetta. The truffle cold angel hair was my clear favourite, elegantly presented in a neat bundle, topped with fish roe and a sprinkle of seaweed. Light, fragrant, and full of umami, it was especially appetising for me.
The mushroom soup was completely my style, a comforting blend of wild button mushrooms, white onion, and butter, served with a side of crusty baguette.

Dipping the crusty baguette into the mushroom soup was absolutely yummilicious, pure comfort in every bite.
With its charming theme and stylish décor, this place is definitely Insta-worthy. If you’re seated near the walls, you’ll find plenty of interesting spots for unique shots.

The Messy Breakfast features bockwurst sausage, shio pan, crispy bacon, wild mushrooms, tomatoes, and truffle scrambled eggs, all served with fresh garden greens tossed in a tangy balsamic vinaigrette.

Grass-fed NZ Angus Rib-eye served with rich brown sauce, crispy fried Chinese kale, and a side of golden fries.

While we didn’t try the rest of the menu, the Jellycat collaboration offerings were just average for us.
