The café's room in the morning: steel-topped tables, wooden stools, a grey stone floor and the shutter rolled up

Since 1998, on the same cross road

Fourth Cross opened in June 1998 with six tables, one tava and a coffee filter that took twenty minutes to drip. The tables are steel now; the coffee still takes twenty minutes.

We cook the same short menu every day, in the order the day goes: breakfast until eleven, meals at noon, evening tiffin from five. When something runs out, we say so on the board and here.

Most people who eat here live within a few streets. If you're new, sit anywhere and ask what's fresh from the tava.

  • We take the corner table every Sunday. They remember that my father has his coffee without sugar.

  • Ordered a 1 kg eggless banana cake two days ahead for my daughter's birthday. Exactly as we discussed, and ready on time.
