Overall it's a tiny place but there are plenty of spots outside to sit and enjoy your food and coffee. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and a latte. The croissant was delicious, a perfect breakfast. The coffee was hot and perfect on a chilly morning and had just the right amount of milk. It was so good I ordered one to go, with an almond croissant. It was the best decision made on this trip. The almond croissant was out of this world, maybe it was the powdered sugar, or maybe it was the fact it's rum dipped. Either way it was amazing and will be my new breakfast go-to. Don't miss out!

My final review from my Australia trip last year is for Lüneburger German Bakery. I believe that…read moreadventure begets adventure, so I think that my visit to this German bakery played a part in my decision this year to visit Germany. It was pouring rain in Sydney on a Saturday morning. Wanting to get brekkie, I left my hotel and manuevered through the rain to get over to the train station to go to Queen Victoria Building. I had walked by this bakery previously on another visit to QVB, so when I came across it on this morning I decided to opt to get some baked goods here rather than a sit down meal somewhere. Lüneburger offers a selection of fresh breads (loaves and rolls), pastries and sandwiches. Decided to order a salted pretzel ($3.50) and a marizpan cinnamon pastry ($4). After paying, I sat down at one of the tables in front of the bakery counter to munch on my purchases. The pretzel was soft and still warm. It was salty, but not extremely so to make you scour for some water. The only thing that would have made the pretzel better is if it had some sort of dipping sauce like mustard. Looking forward to trying the pretzels in Munich to see how they compare to the one here. As for the marzipan cinnamon pastry, it also was still slightly warm which was a surprise. The pastry is made with croissant dough and filled with a sweet almond filling that was superb. I am looking forward to my visit to Germany. If the baked goods there are as good as the ones at Lüneburger, I will be satisfied.

When I get a craving for a fresh, warm, salty German pretzel, this is where I get my fix. No... it is not the cheapest bakery ever, but there is no doubting the quality. Just thinking about the pretzels has me salivating. Might need to pick on up (on the way to the gym....)....

Got to try the The avo on toast with fetta, bloodhound signature beans with egg and prosciutto, the zucchini salad with chicken, the soft shell crab sandwich and the BAE roll. Everything was presented well and tasted pretty good. The relish on the BAE roll really good. The zucchini sale was very refreshing! Baked beans were spiced by not overly hot! Avo was simple yet delicious. Matt one of the owners advised that he wanted to do simple dishes but do them really well. I am a fan of this place. Good location too and because we went on a Sunday morning there was heaps of street parking so great place to catch up with friends or to recover from the night before.

Here are words associated with Sprout that will tell you all you need to know: kale, quinoa, organic, green bowl, activated, superfood. I was a tad hungover so eschewed the benefits of a green bowl for an organic beef burger with relish on a triangular bun (triangles are back, yo!) that was a proper two-hand job and left me feeling way better than a milk bar burger might. The coffee is all kinds of great too, as is sitting outside on a milk crate in the little corner nook between two shops like some kind of breakfast creep.

We needed to have brunch before another roadtrip and the missus suggest we try this place as she had noted it had opened recently. I guess the first test of any cafe is their coffee. Sprout has great coffee and it was well made. No complaints. I ordered the Egg & Bacon Roll (see photo) which came with rocket, tomato relish and aioli. The rolls itself was one of the triangular Brasserie Bread rolls and with the fillings quite literally became a handheld meal. I appreciated the fact that the fried egg still had a runny yolk - as I have a personal dislike to hard cooked yolk. The missus stepped up and ordered the Big Breakfast with added Avocado (see photo). The whole meal was good, and we both noted that the poached eggs were cooked perfectly (slightly done but still runny). - yeah I'm a runny egg fiend. We sat out the back on the Terrace and enjoyed the fresh air whilst looking at their new garden set up. The man in the store explained that they were growing a kitchen garden down the long side of the backyard and that the smaller patch nearer our table was likely to be some citrus plants. All in all, a nifty little spot that we'll be visiting again.
