This cafe doesnt hold many seats so when we came in around 2pm on a weekday, we didnt have many options but to sit down on a communal table between other people. It was a bit awkward looking around the room and at the interior decorations because we didnt want those around us thinking we were staring at them. Also, its hard not to listen to other peoples conversations Anyway, luckily the staff are friendly and attentive, making our experience a little better. The coffee was really tasty; rich and smooth. The food was pretty average though. (The menu was limited as well). We ordered the warm bowl which was plain and needed extra fruits or something with flavour. The french toast had interesting ingredients all on one dish – some worked and some didnt. Its a shame that we didnt see the board on the wall with the days special… it sounded a lot more promising than the other options on the actual menu. Itd be nice if the staff can tell guests whats on the special in the future By the way, finding parking is a challenge.
Its a flat 3 for me. I made a special trip here and am unfortunately struggling to see what justifies the current healthy rating for this place.
It struck me as a fairly basic inside space here. I couldnt see anything that jumped out as particularly impressive. The outdoor area at the front is quite pleasant though and a number of people were taking advantage of it on a cool, still sunny day.
I was really surprised by what I thought was a limited menu here. The choices for breakfast or brunch seemed very limited to me and I quickly decided that a design your own breakfast with eggs was my best option.
I ordered and the breakfast came. Poached eggs with avocado, kale and bacon. The bacon struck me as measly. Three shriveled up rashers for $5. No special flavour in it at all. It could have been Coles brand bacon for all I could tell. On the good side, the seeded bread was lovely, the eggs very nicely cooked and I think the kale was the best Ive ever tasted anywhere. It wasnt soggy and still had a bit of give, which was nice. The avocado was good as well.
Details matter though. This was my second serve of this dish. I had to send the first one back as theyd served the wrong toast, sourdough not seeded as Id specifically ordered. I love my seeded. The manager was quick to apologise which was impressive but it was still mildly irritating and the error cost me 10-15 minutes.
Details matter and there were a few of those awry today. Another one – and yes, Im being picky – was the glass was hot from the dishwasher when the water was served on arrival. Your never after water warmed by a hot glass, rather you want cool water in a cool glass.
The coffee here was just ok. It lacked length, I felt. The taste disappeared the moment you sipped it. Average to under par in my view.
So, overall an average experience hence the average score. Maybe it was just a one off, but I couldnt see anything particularly special here today hence the middling score.
