Coffee at Tilley's

Forty years old this year, Tilley’s Devine Cafe Gallery is a Canberra institution. Tucked away in the suburbs, it’s rarely found by tourists but is very familiar to lots of Canberrans. The Cafe’s website says: with elegant, dark wood fittings, a moody, deep red colour scheme, and soft jazz wafting between the old-fashioned booths lining the walls, there are some things essentially nostalgic and cinematic about Tilley’s romantic atmosphere, reminiscent of a Hollywood film noir.

I dropped in for coffee this morning.
