We visited the cafe after our dinner at Roost Juice Bar, and this cafe seems like only selling drinks and salads...
It's located on the first floor and it was a total different atmosphere compare with the Juice Bar...there is a non-air contional area once we reach the first floor...the Furniture is Awesome! The tables and chairs have a special design and all made by old timber!


There were some high bar stools which modified and made from used paint container! I was attracted by the design!

Then we walked into the another session, air-conditioned...I was Amazed!

I couldn't snap all the tables and chairs in the cafe because of others customers around...visit yourself and witness it! :)
Beside the furniture, the creative lighting also became part of important decoration to the environment...

The Creative lightings of Roost Cafe

Didn't expect the empty Jagermiester bottle can be so nice after filled in the bulbs...

The area created an calm environment and its a nice place for friends gathering...I like it unpretentious, simple and utilitarian...

All the design, furniture and lighting made and created by the owner himself. Well, I'm happy and appreciated that the owner of the cafe (Mr Wong) is generously sharing his creativity to the public, will find a chance to chat with him in the future...
I wish I can buy one of the wooden set at the outdoor area...:)

The special water tap at the washroom

It will be a good arrangement that having dinner at Juice Bar and enjoy the Yogurt Coffee at the Roost Salad+ Bar. The operating hour is from 6pm-12am. I will be back for SURE!

I was attracted by the rustic design at the main entrance, evoke the childhood behind...


The atmosphere was just Great! I like the 'old' setting very much!
There are few different dining area, and all the tables and chairs are different from others...and...all are 'old'...

The ground floor dining area

The bar counter design was Simple & Unique! Just can't imagine that a few old mosaic tiles can created such an beautiful Art creation!
I believe the 'green' seat below is belong to the year 60s...I wish I can find one of these 'sofa'...

At the other corner was the children paradise! There were many toys display during the good old days...(except the yellow thing...)

Another cozy corner from Roost Juice Bar

Walking on the 'steep' staircase to the first floor might be a challenge for old peoples...the steps were slightly small compare with the standard staircase...

2 red welcoming seats appeared in front of us just right after the staircase on the first floor...

The leather briefcase was the attraction beside the seats...I like the old display cabinet and I know where to find it! :)

On the first floor, another nice 'old' design which is has a different feeling compare with the ground floor...the owner make use of the lighting to enhance the comfort dining area just felt like steped in the 'Time Machine', injected more rustic appeal to the charming interior of the bar.

Behind the old wooden glass doors, there is the smoking zone...

Was wondering the purpose of the wooden ladder on the right...well...its actually the access to the 'mystery small room' on top of the smoking area...I will find out on my next visit...:)
