Travel

If you need to grab a light breakfast or some coffee before the reception, this coffee shop is conveniently located a 5 minute walk away from Azaleana Manor! Ariella and Aeythan spent a few of their dates at Urban Bean planning their wedding while sipping the lavender lattes or trying the waffle boats.

If you love coffee and love playing board games, you should definitely spend an hour or two at Java Haus. The Poon's love visiting here to play various card games and board games such as: Cash &amp; Guns, Taco Cat, Code Names, and Betrayal on the House of the Hill. The cafe also serves some light snacks perfect for gaming.
