louie is a little cafe in the heart of the city focusing on the daily essentials with a touch of finesse.

It features a neutral palette fit-out aimed at providing a sense of calm, while exuding reliability and consistency in both the offerings and service. Coffee is brewed from sustainably sourced single origin coffee beans from regional Colombia. The type was carefully selected to not only complement the selection of dairy and alternative milk, but also enhance both milk and espresso flavours. Each cup is brewed with immense attention to detail and accuracy.

A selection of sweet and savoury muffins fill the display cabinet. Baked daily and in-house, they are perfect for a quick snack. They can also be catered in bulk, suitable for corporate functions or private events. Gourmet toasties is also amongst the staple offerings at louie. The current line-up includes the creamy mushroom and tender chicken, with more options added and rotated on a regular basis.
