Over Coffee

Located on Lavelle Road, Over Coffee Cafe & Wine Bar positions itself as a European-style café that blends artisanal coffee, wine, and a menu inspired by continental flavours in a relaxed, modern setting. The ambience is warm and inviting, with clean interiors and a comfortable café vibe that works equally well for casual lunches, coffee dates, or a laid-back evening meal. During our visit, we tried the Mushroom Overload Pizza, Smoked Paprika Chicken Steak, and a couple of iced teas. The Mushroom Overload Pizza was enjoyable, featuring a generous combination of shiitake and button mushrooms, melted mozzarella, and a drizzle of truffle oil that added an earthy aroma to the dish. The mushrooms brought depth and umami to the pizza, and the crust held up well without becoming soggy. The Smoked Paprika Chicken Steak came plated with grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, pea purée, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, making it visually appealing and quite balanced as a main course. The chicken itself was tender with a mild smoky paprika flavour, while the mashed potatoes added creaminess and the pea purée gave the dish a subtle sweetness and freshness. For beverages, we ordered the Lemon & Mint Iced Tea and the Peach Iced Tea. Unfortunately, both drinks leaned too heavily on the tea base, which ended up overpowering the intended citrus and fruit notes. The lemon-mint combination felt muted, and the peach flavour barely came through, making the drinks taste more like strong cold tea than refreshing summer coolers. Overall, the food was fairly enjoyable and the ambience pleasant enough for a relaxed outing. However, the drinks could use better flavour balance to match the rest of the menu.

I recently visited Over Coffee and had a truly memorable dining experience. The ambiance is warm and cozy, perfect for a relaxed evening. We started with avocado toast topped generously with fresh, creamy avocado on perfectly toasted bread. The grilled shrimp with sautéed mushrooms and asparagus in a light creamy sauce was fresh and well-balanced. The grilled chicken served with mashed potatoes and rich sauce was juicy, tender, and flavorful. The grilled fish, beautifully plated over a smooth base with a vibrant sauce drizzle, stood out both visually and in taste. We also enjoyed a thin-crust pizza with generous toppings and crisp garlic bread on the side. What elevated the experience was the service. The staff didn’t just serve wine and tiramisu.. they guided us through it. They explained the wine, allowed us to experience it properly, and presented the tiramisu with care. The dessert was light, creamy, and perfectly balanced with coffee flavors, making it a perfect ending. Overall, excellent food, thoughtful service, and a refined yet comforting atmosphere. Definitely a place worth revisiting.
