Corretto: Coffee, Kindles and Calendars
Imagine a scene from the popular series, Emily in Paris. Emily, dressed in some or other puffy sleeved mini dress by a famous French designer, sipping on a cup of coffee as she plots her next over-the-top marketing move… Visualise round blue tables twirling, coffee cream swirling and a local choir surprising patrons with an impressive mashup performance. At Corretto – with its colourful interiors – none of this seems too farfetched.
Coffee shops have become the go-to for quiet moments amidst a busy schedule. At the same time, they have also become part of daily life for early risers and over-achievers (like Emily in Paris). Corretto – an Italian word that translates to something that is correct or without mistakes – is one such place and while the name might have its origin in Italy, it somehow also reminds you of a French street corner café with a twist.
A coffee corner for everyone at Corretto
A young woman made herself comfortable at a table in the corner, pulling out a book from her bag. An older man sat down at one of the outside tables and after ordering an Americano, he gently flapped open the newspaper as another lady took a seat right beside the coffee station – clearly content with her coffee and Kindle. It seems that Corretto might just be the place where you would want to start your weekly reading, meditating or planning. It’s the perfect spot for self-reflection and good coffee, as well as delectable cuisine (and a bit of people watching).
The eatery’s round, baby blue tables are jotted around the restaurant with succulent-filled pots making for the perfect table decor. They utilise The Club Retail Centre’s courtyard for some additional outside seating – ideal for families with young children who might want to explore the centre’s recently added jungle gym – while inside tables are complemented by greenery hanging overhead.

Breakfast includes the options of beautifully plated Ricotta Flapjacks with Berry Compote and Honey (which they effortlessly split in half for the kids), delectable Eggs Benedict and a unique offering of Eggs Regalita (smoked salmon on a toasted English muffin with poached eggs and a creamy yoghurt sauce). The freshly squeezed orange juice and Americanos also come highly recommended and be careful, as you might not be able to refuse a piece of their baked cheesecake.
Corretto opens at 06:30 during the week and you can pop in any time from 07:00 over weekends. Keep an eye out for some exciting décor changes that will soon start taking shape.
