Anvil Café and Grocer has moved to a central location in Crows Nest and is a great place to enjoy breakfast, lunch or food on the go. You can also purchase packaged goods like nuts, spices and coffee.
The space has minimalist style, white chairs and tables, combined with greenery and feels somewhat Scandinavian. Entering into this café, it has a cool vibe to it, friendly staff and a wealth of products to buy and take home.
We began with tea and coffee and went for dessert first - a vegan, gluten free donut made by we r nutie. I wouldn't normally go for these kind of treats, but it looked outstanding with a caramel topping and popcorn. This was soft and incredibly tasty inside and we both very much enjoyed this.
The café sells both all day breakfast and lunch options. The breakfast menu has granola or chia seed pudding, Arabian eggs, Avocado goats cheese and breakfast plates. We chose the chard corn fritters which are really fluffy fritters that are almost the consistency of a pancake topped with greens, yoghurt, lemon vinaigrette and fresh herbs. We really liked these, though think the dish would be even better with some sort of chutney or similar for flavour.
We decided to also sample their lunch menu and it was a tough choice between the chicken curry or slow cooked beef. We went for the Moroccan beef which was a beautifully cooked slow cooked with a rich sauce, and this casserole type dish included pearl barley, pumpkin, currants, perppercorn and yoghurt.
A lovely café that has a good range of delicious brunch options. read more
