A great local spot for some quality coffee, nice food and maybe a quite drink on a weekend afternoon. Being close, we here quite regularly and have never been disappointed.
Bookmarked this place from the two very nice reviews of MB and Mandy Bernadette and eventually arranged my exploration last Sunday morning. It was a fair bit of driving from Daisy Hill but it is worth for the trip. Opinion on its location is quite subjective, however, it can catch your gaze easily if you drive pass by. Whole premise looks new and lay-out nice and neat. Service is friendly and I have to give my compliment to the barista because her work is so consistent that the feeling from my flat white is exactly the same as Mandy. Nice coffee art with strong enough taste at one shot (I rarely order double so I can compare strength of my flat white at different cafes), very good pouring skill. Thanks for the tips from MB & Mandy that I ordered the "Reuben", which was the first time that I had such kind of toastie. Large piece of sandwich with generous corned beef and cheese. The sauerkraut ( a kind of German pickled cabbage) is the hero that links the protein and cheese providing good moisture and sourness to each bite. Well done! Overall, it is really a local gem! I rarely give full mark to a cafe but you deserve it. Cheers!
Gourmet toasties are the go here, but no, we didn't opt for them. Mr P. loves a fritter so he chose the corn and zucchini fritter with black bean salsa. Excuse my rant, but all too often a so-called fritter is a flour-heavy pancake with a kernel of corn or veg. thrown in. Very happily, these were not like that. Perhaps a tiny bit heavier than you would hope for, but these were full of corn and zucchini. The salsa was "interesting", though he would have liked more oomph. You know, spicy and tangy and maybe a bit of chilli heat.
I chose potato rosti with mushrooms and poached eggs. I enjoyed this dish. I am a big fan of mushies, and there was a generous serve here. The rosti was golden and crunchy outside (both of them), and soft inside. I would have liked my eggs a bit softer and more runny, but they were still tasty. A generous and filling lunch for me. And yes it was nice to have a bit of green stuff on the plate, to cut the richness of the dish.
This place is pooch-friendly; see the dog bowl and hitching post above. Enjoy all-day breakfasts, cool drinks, tea, coffee and sweets. They care about your gluten and dairy intolerances (unlike me ha ha!). And open up early - 6 am weekdays, 6:30 am on weekends for your coffee and brekkie demands.
