Architectz’ Factory

I’ve been to Architectz a few times, reason being: it’s such a peaceful quiet little gallery café, one has to love it! The place is decorated with a TON of taste and it’s got a small space outside, with one rounded table where you can have a coffee or tea. It’s located in a hidden area two steps from Star Street, but not as well known. This area houses mainly art galleries, boutiques and deco shops, some of them offering drinks as well. It’s in a dead-​end street, square-​shaped and it’s far from cars and city noise. Sometimes birds is the only thing you can hear. Sounds like a little oasis to anyone?
The place is an eclectic shop: it has both new and old items, with a vintage pinch. Stationery, paintings, furniture, tea pots, candles, toys, lamps, old phones and cutlery… the list is endless. Even though is not very small, it’d be easy to spend over an hour. My favorite picks are an old iron that reminded me of an antique my grandmother had at home, and a pair of slippers that they had last time I went (in pastel pink, green, yellow…). In fact, I was having a look at them when a customer asked me which color I preferred — I said green and she didn’t hesitate to take a pair of those and buy them. The vibe is very friendly in there. The lovely lady who was working at the store that day added a toast, butter and a strawberry to my tea order!
I hope this place will keep its authenticity over time, its sense of quietness and tranquility, because that’s what makes it so especial.
