The first floor is where the baked goods are displayed and where you can place your order.
The second floor is the seating area.
Find a seat first before placing your order downstairs if you are planning on dining in. Seats are limited and there is a sign requesting that diners don’t spend too long occupying the tables during busy periods as it prevents others from also dining in.
The ambiance at Cafe Margaret reminds use of a beach cottage. Even though we know it is a Korean-style cafe, we couldn’t help but feel it also had some Aussie vibes too.
The place feels bright and airy, making it very welcoming.
Cubepies, Cookies & Pound Cake
On the menu are a variety of baked goods.
The signature item at Cafe Margaret is the Cubepie. This is a laminated pastry with 72 layers of thin, flaky pastries. Inside the buttery block are different fillings.
