  Visited Coffee Anthology for brunch on a Thursday for lunch at 11:00am and was surprised with the number of people in the cafe. This cafe seems to continually be very popular and is always packed with lots of customers. We were seated after a short wait and served with some table water – the table water however turned out to be sparkling water which we were not a fan of so we requested regular tap water which the staff were able to accommodate.I ordered the daddy’s girl waffles which were really delicious. You could definitely tell that the waffles had a hint of coffee in them but the flavour was not overpowering. The white chocolate marscapone was delicious and not too sweet which was a perfect addition to the waffles. Overall, all components of the dish complemented the others very well.The bagel was one of the cheaper items on the menu. It was definitely worth its price though. The smoked salmon on the bagel along with the capers and creme fraiche brought out some of the flavours you wouldn’t expect of a regular bagel.The croissant eggs benedict was slightly disappointing and is probably the low point of our visit. The eggs were extremely runny – it seemed as though the whites were barely even cooked and so, the yolk was completely runny too. Apart from the extremely runny eggs, the croissant was well toasted and the turmeric hollandaise was very unique. We ordered this dish with ham and were very pleasantly surprised with the thick cut of ham. This dish would have been a winner had it not been for the eggs which are a vital part of the dish.The iced latte was slightly disappointing for its size. Nevertheless it was very tasty. The chai latte was also very delicious but once again the size is quite small for its price.Overall, some tasty aspects at Coffee Anthology but just some disappointing points. Would love to revisit to retry some dishes and try out some others!

  Finally got around to checking out this popular brunch spot a few weeks back and it did not disappoint! Everything from the service and ambience to the food and coffee was on point. I ordered a pork belly eggs benedict on croissant because it sounded like the most unique item on the lunch menu. It was served with a turmeric hollandaise and beetroot puree which added an extra dimension and depth to the overall dish. Cant wait to check out their breakfast menu soon!

  Came here on a Sunday morning as it was recommended by a lot of people and Ive always wanted to try this place out. The place was packed but still managed to get a seat for 2 people. We ordered the Croissant Eggs Benedict($17), the Warm Couscous Salad ($16), passiontwist, carrot & apple juice (from the bottle) ($6.5) and a Cappuccino ($4).Food: The food was amazing, very unique in their ideas and very tasty. The Warm Couscous Salad was my favourite, it had a lovely balance between the cherry tomato, the feta cheese and the balsamic glaze sauce. The Croissant Eggs Benedict was delicious as well, I love the twist of putting croissants instead of the classic sourdough bread as usually I find the bread to be too dry or dense that it makes you full easily. The crispy croissant adds more flavour with the runny hollandaise sauce and the sauce was excellent (not too salty). The beetroot pure was a very nice touch as well, very smooth and the beetroot flavour was very subtle but still added flavour to the eggs. Price: For the portion of each dish, the costs are quite average for a classic eggs benedict dish (usually they are at least $16). But definitely worth it for these dishes as it does fill you up and they were very flavourful and unique (with their added twist in making it different to other places). Staff and Service:The waiter staff were friendly and very patient when taking our orders. I was a bit disappointed that the coffee was brought out cold and we did have to wait a bit for the food and coffee to come. I wouldnt blame them because it was very busy at the time and there wasnt a lot of staff. We were also seated more towards the back of the restaurant so not a lot of waiters would walk past (only when bringing food and drinks to other tables near us) so it was a bit hard to get their attention.Overall:I really enjoyed the food, they were delicious and at a reasonable price considering the portion of the dishes. I would recommend to try the Couscous Salad and Eggs Benedict. I wouldnt mind coming back to try more on their menu.

  These guys are masters in coffee brewing. Not only do they make the best damn coffee, they are also a walking encyclopaedia on everything coffee. From the different beans, different flavour notes, perfect temperature for the perfect shot etc.

  Walked past this cafe after having our coffee and breakfast in Beach House. We decided to try the coffee here as its rated 4.8. We had espresso which neither of us is used to. But Im sure espresso lovers would approve it.We should come back here to try food. They look very nice and well presented.

  Came here for lunch on a Wednesday. The place was busy but there was still plenty of seating available. The waiting staff who served me were very prompt and friendly. The flat white I ordered was smooth and had a lovely fruity undertone.I ordered the Croissant Eggs Benedict with tumeric hollandaise and pork belly. One word: Wow. The tumeric hollandaise was one of the best I’ve tried. Perfectly balanced in flavour. The slow cooked eggs were melt in your mouth. The croissant was just as a croissant should be and that buttery texture was a match made in heaven with the tumeric.The coffee and food came out fast, which was impressive considering the time of day.
