We were brought to this cafe that serves all-day breakfast by friends Shu & Jo (with Serene) one Sunday afternoon. It was about 3.30pm and we hadn't yet had our lunch. Initially we were gonna stop here for a light snack before heading elsewhere for an early dinner, but after our hour-long tete-a-tete, we realized toast, eggs and hot chocolate can make us really full.. Plus the setting was ideal for a really nice catch-up over breakfast, no matter the time of day.
The Dean's Breakfast pictured above was really delicious. Emmenthal cheese on sourdough bread spread with vegemite was pungent and tasty, and topped with perfectly-done poached eggs. Poke the egg and have some runny yolk mixed in for an even stickier experience.
Humpty Dumpty & Vegemite Soldiers.... Pictured here with 1 egg missing.
Vegemite is something that all mothers should introduce into their child's breakfast. Mky and I reminisced about eating bread with Bovril/ Marmite/ Vegemite when we were kids - comfort food for sure! We had a minor issue with one of our half-boiled eggs, the staff needed reminding that we were short on one (and it finally arrived almost fully done). But Mky took her time and thoroughly savoured her single dippy egg.
Hot Drinking Chocolate best sipped slowly..
This place has a reputation for great coffee (some say one of the best), and a really chill-out ambience, inspired by Melbourne cafes. There's a mix of staff ranging from young and upbeat kids to an elderly lady who was very eager to please. Great service really!
