Sometimes I Feel
Sometimes I Feel is not your average coffee shop. Quirky, cosy, and decidedly unique, this is the perfect spot for a catchup with a friend, study session, or late-afternoon coffee date. Settle in amongst the Star Wars memorabilia and funky artwork to examine their menu, sorted by how their specialty coffee will make you feel. Since 2018, the owners have prided themselves on adding a little magic to each drink, with offerings such as the “Sleepwalk”, a 3-layer shakerato that combines citrus and mixed berry juices with espresso, and the “Tainted Love”, which blends rose tea, rose jelly, and fizz with their house cold brew for a fragrant caffeine fix.
Insider Tip: Be sure to try out their caffeinated cocktails for a unique pick me up. We recommend the “Like a G6”, Sometimes I Feel’s signature cloud espresso martini.
