Hey there, and welcome to this episode of My Mate In... This is episode 20. The whole focus of this show is talking to my mates about places that they really love to get food or have a drink, and it doesn't need to be the most fancy place. It could just be a place that really means a lot to them, means comfort food, means, you know, something special, and they share that with us so that we can try these places as well. So today, I'm talking with my mate in Canberra, Mya.

Jaz: 00:43

Hey there, Mya.

Mya: 00:44

Jaz: 00:45

So what place do you wanna talk about today?

Mya: 00:48

Rose 'N' Brew. It's really good. Really pink. Really pink.

Jaz: 00:53

Like, the the way they've decorated it? It's all pink inside?

Mya: 00:57

Yes. Everywhere's pink. You walk in, and there's just a whole wall of just roses and pink.

Jaz: 01:04

That's amazing. There's a generational gap here, so bear with me. Does it give you, like, Insta vibes? Like, they've set it up for it to be really beautiful to take pictures?

Mya: 01:14

Yes. Definitely.

Jaz: 01:16

So Rose 'N' Brew is what kind of a place? Like, it sounds beautiful. It's pink. There's roses. What kind of theme or food is it?

They definitely have, like, a lot of, I wanna say, interesting stuff. They've got waffles. They've got acai bowls.

Ah, cool. So it it sounds like it could be like a brunch kind of place?

Mya: 01:38

Yeah. And it's open all the time, and they've got lots of cakes as well.

Oh, delightful. And whereabouts in Canberra is it?

Mya: 01:53

I like to have fun with, like, the drinks. There's a lot of, like, fun coffees and stuff like that. And I like to order an acai bowl. They're very fun.

Jaz: 02:04

Paint a picture of what the acai bowl is like. What does it come with?

Mya: 02:08

Lots of fruits. There's all different type of fruits, and it depends what one you get because you can have, like, maybe the different fruits and then maybe, like, a topping, like peanut butter or Dubai chocolate or something like that on top.

Jaz: 02:25

What do you choose?

Mya: 02:26

I just get the normal one. I think the, I think the normal one's really good.
