A Game of Chess and a Muffin
The City Daily Photo theme for February is “Cafe”. Click here for more images from around the globe.
“The Library Cafe” in Onehunga used to be a “Carnegie Free Library”; the building operated as library from 1912 to 1970. Presently, the stately building operates as child friendly and down to earth cafe. There is a sizeable dining room and a more intimate “Reading Room”, all with fine wood paneling. Enjoyable atmosphere and good coffee.

The classic architecture is so formal yet how wonderful it is that it is kid friendly as shown by the casual and comfortable posture of the young child.
