01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Colourful pieces of jelly bob in a glass of gently sparkling soda. Soirée’s signature jelly punch is memorable not just for its vivid appearance, but also for the jelly’s springy texture. Visitors have described the restrained sweetness of the jelly, balanced by the tartness of lemon or kiwi and the refreshing fizz. Some have enjoyed its firm bite; others remember the texture and bright colours. The drink’s appeal is simple, so take a moment to appreciate its Soirée-like presentation and the pleasure of scooping up the jelly.
The menu also includes a jelly punch float topped with ice cream, as well as a yoghurt punch. Choose the light fizz on its own, add a float or pair it with yoghurt. Jelly milk is another option for a leisurely pause. For a coffee flavour, try the jelly coffee or jelly coffee float. Some visitors have praised the coffee jelly’s gentle bitterness and aroma, offering a different way to enjoy jelly from the soda-based punch.
If you fancy another sweet, visitors have mentioned daily cakes such as rum-raisin, berry chocolate and Mont Blanc. One account describes the rum-raisin cake as soft, with the aroma of rum lingering afterwards. Part of the pleasure of a café visit is choosing a pairing: perhaps jelly punch with coffee, or cake with a hot blended coffee.
Blue lighting, stained glass and paintings give the interior its character and add to the impression made by each drink. Some visitors have found the atmosphere different on the 1 and 2 floors, with the choice of spending time amid the blue light on the 1 floor or sitting in the brighter 2-floor seating area. Visitors have also reported waiting, so allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy the jelly and the café.
