Hawker Street Cafe - Mixed salad with Chicken at the Hawker St. Cafe - Restaurants Near Me - Bowden, SA

My name is Chloe and I love brunch. Don't get me wrong, lunch and dinner have their place in every social calendar but brunch allows you the guilty pleasure of an extra hour of sleeping in on a weekend, saving $$ on consuming 1 meal instead of 2 and drinking multiple cups of coffee in one sitting. I have swooped down on Hawker St Cafe a couple of times for breakfast with friends and have never been disappointed. Breakfast comes in make-your-own or pick from a few menu item form. So far my highly recommended dish is the Zucchini and Corn Fritters with crème fraîche, avocado and a salsa and rocket salad. For $15 you get 2 large, fluffy and tasty fritters on a bed of salad that gives your mouth a little zing in the morning. A smooth bonsoy coffee left me with liquid-envy when I realised I could have ordered it in mug size instead of standard, but I have learned my lesson. The inside is simple and the place doesn't try too hard, it just is genuinely cool. A student share-house kind of feel, everyone seems to be a local or a regular and the outdoor tin shed and grapevine patio just amplifies the laid back vibe of the place. read more

We had breakfast here - beans/eggs, and a vegan breakfast. Yummy vegetables, big serving. The beans/eggs were also done well. Coffees were done well, and managed to get a table inside. Nice interior. All in all, we would recommend as a nice little gem within inner suburbia. read more

Cold Sunday morning and wanting a good feed and decent coffee. Decided that I wanted to try a place on my bucket list. After reading many good reviews my good friend and I decided to go to Hawker Street Cafe. Neither of us had been but seeing pictures of the baked beans, we were sold!! The staff seem friendly however they have this awkwardness about them. A bit quiet and they looked a bit lost. Having to walk through the kitchen to outside was a bit odd to say the least and a little off putting. We ordered the following: BEANS WITH BACON & EGG (I substituted bacon for spinach for my meal) My friend who is heavily pregnant and asked for poached eggs to be hard, to which they accommodated perfectly. The home made baked beans had a lovely slight smokey flavour to them and the plate was plentiful. We unanimously agreed that the bread could have used some butter as even with the beans and egg felt dry. Plus who doesn't love lots of butter on bread! CAFE LATTE It was so tiny and had too much froth head for my liking. Apart from that it tasted nice. ICED CHOCOLATE I didn't order this for myself but my friend seemed to like it, but going by the visual side of things I wasn't overly impressed. She also didn't get orgasmic over it haha so that says a lot. Lol Would I go back again? I wouldn't rule it out just yet. I'm always inclined to give places a second chance to redeem themselves and food was certainly not of a poor standard. read more

Hawker Street Cafe - Baked beans with poached eggs, bacon (mine substituted with spinach) and sourdough bread. - Restaurants Near Me - Bowden, SA

Not a bad little place to dine. I've eaten here a couple times now. A long gap in between, and each time I've been a satisfied customer. The menu they offer has quite a selection of breakfast goodies. One of the populars I've noticed is a zucchini and sweet corn fritter. Each time I've dined here I've ordered the bigger style breakfast, with things like grilled tomato, sautéed spinach and large mushrooms which are delicious, bacon, eggs, chorizo sausage and avocado. The way these plates have been cooked is perfection with all the elements tasting delicious and well satisfying. One of my friends I was with ordered a serving of seasonal fruit with yogurt, mixed seeds and nuts, and chia seeds which looked amazing. I did notice they have a smoothies and juices menu which I haven't tried- with a small selection of 3 or 4 smoothies and a handful of juice selections. On the Sunday morning I went was quite busy and we waiting a good 20 minutes for our meals, which is reasonable. The seating space is quite small as well. I've heard there is extra seating behind the cafe, which I haven't seen myself. This is a place I would definitely come again. It's a brilliant cafe for vegetarians, vegans, and the health conscious with hearty and home style cooked dishes. read more

Where does your mind go when you think Hawker Street, Bowden? If you're not an inner suburb trendy the right answer would be, of course, "Huh?" If you are one of these people though, your mind will dance with fond memories of Hawker Street Cafe. (If you haven't been to this cafe, well, you are not an inner suburb trendy.) Set amongst what would have once been a very ordinary bunch of shops, Hawker Street Cafe is everything that makes a good cafe or, more specifically, a weekend brunch spot. It's rustic. It's to the point. It's popular. It has good coffee. The staff are friendly with an alternative edge. The space is perfect for a cruisy Sunday brunch, which is what I went for the Sunday just gone. Out back it looks a bit dated-suburban-backyard, with it's timber furnishings from an era unknown and a wall of cream brick glaring you in the eye. But it does the job and doesn't detract from the food nor the coffee. On food. Pretty simple menu. All the usuals. I went the Vegan (#3, if I recall). Got it without avo (yuk) but with baked beans. The pumpkin and zucchini could have used a little more cooking. Everything else was great. The beans - woah! Talk about moorish. Talk about smokey. Yum. What I really loved was the little vessel of olive oil to pour over the toast - they are well aware that vegans don't eat butter. ++++ VEGAN FRIENDLINESS -- Well catered for here. They know their stuff. Go the vegan breakfast with beans. ++++ read more

I've often walked past but never gone in. But this weekend was an exception and I finally dragged the girls with me for a long awaited breakfast date - and we were super impressed. The food was delicious. The baked eggs in eggplant and zucchini sugo was our favourite. It tasted fresh, with lovely big chunks of veggies, and was cooked to perfection. Service was ok, albeit could have been a little more personable and bubbly to match the chic and cosy interior theme. However will be coming back to sample the entire menu for sure! read more

Had brunch with some girlfriends at Hawker street cafe and as usual it did not disappoint. I've been here a couple of times, it's small but not overcrowded, although a little on the noisy side (especially for it's size) I had a mochaccino and the coconut and quinoa porridge (which I've had before). Topped with fresh bananas the porridge is good, very filling and not overly sweet which is good. As usual, I couldn't finish my meal and left satisfied :) read more

Being a local and a breakfast snob this cafe has outlasted a few others in the 5007 & it's because the service is consistent and the good food oozing with freshness and flavor, dished up to you in no time. I also like the art work depicting parts of this wonderful artsy urban pocket.. read more

Really good inner suburban cafes seem to be Adelaides current flavour and Hawker St is no exception. Bowden has emerged over the last few years as the hip and happening place for those in their 20s, 30s and young families. They'll keep you breakfasted tuesday to sunday and will take care of lunch too during the week. This is a fixies out the front, communal table, great coffee kind of place. Just come and chill out and enjoy the vibes created by the happy and relaxed staff. It's a small shop, but there is a great courtyard out the back - don't mind that you have to walk past the counter and through the kitchen to get there, they're used to it. Last time I was there I had amazing zucchini fritters with smoked salmon, creme fraiche and salad. The fritters were golden brown and substantial without being stodgy... they were big light and fluffy! Their food is generous, fresh and delicious and there always seems to be plenty of vego options too. read more

Was really excited to try out this place, because I had only heard good things. But we were disappointed with experience. Considering the raving reviews I had read. We made a booking for 4 people Sunday morning, we arrived on time but they had not reserved a table for us. we ended up sitting pretty close to the doorway. We sat down and waited for menus (there isn't any, as its on the wall) but nobody made us aware of this. We soon also worked out that we needed to go up to the counter, which I do not have a problem with at all, it just would of been nice to be told that was what we had to do. We all ordered our breakfast and coffee (soy latte was delicious), I got the zucchini fritters with added poached eggs and avocado with a side of baked beans. my friends ordered eggs Benedict, bacon and eggs with baked beans and the big breakfast that they offer. I want to point out that it wasn't a busy Sunday, there was one other table in there that had ordered food, everyone else was just drinking coffee. but we had to wait 50 minutes for our food to come out, now I'm normally not impatient and I have worked in bars and pubs before so I know that good fresh food doesn't come out instantly. But nearly an hour from when we'd ordered on a quiet Sunday is a bit ridiculous. Especially when we had no one come and tell us there would be a delay, or even an apology when the food did eventually arrive! My friends bacon an eggs with added baked beans came with bread, not toasted which made for soggy grossness and my other friends toast was the polar opposite, hard and butter-less. Granted my breakfast was delicious, the baked beans are a must. But having such poor service and a massive delay made us irritated and grumpy by the time we did get our food. all in all wont be rushing back for food, if anything I would get a takeaway coffee. read more

I can't say Yelp introduced me to this place, as I remember coming here as a kid as this area started to become trendy but it certainly brought it back to my attention - so thanks yelp! Hidden inconspicuously in a quiet enough back street, the Hawker Street cafe is surprisingly buzzing! Luckily we found a table and settled for breakfast - which seems to be their specialty! I ordered their baked beans, bacon and eggs as the reviews of the beans seemed positive and my buddy got the fritters which were yummy! I was more than satisfied with my choice and teamed with a chai it was the perfect start to the day! Although the prices were a little higher than some other breakfast places, the sizes were impressive enough to compensate. The venue itself is pretty funky and different - with outdoor seating at the back which requires one to walk through the kitchen to access - making you feel very at home straight away. We were there on a busy Sunday morning and the noise was crazy - hence the loss of one point. I don't know what they could do to minimize this but unfortunately it isn't a relaxing place to be when packed full of chattative people! Everything else was tops and I look forward to a return visit! read more

Toasted chicken and avocado focaccia about as good as they get. Coffee excellent. Not so impressed with the vegan mud cake served with no cream, and chocolate substitute carob I think - it's just not chocolate! Nice little book exchange and newspaper selection. Service keen but was there some tension between staff members? Something wasn't right but couldn't put my finger on it. Overall enjoyable but will continue the search being a meat head and not a vegan. read more

Ordered via Uber Eats, so can't comment on in house experience (so I've given them the benefit of the doubt and given them two rather than my original one star) . As for the food, I hate to say it but it was terrible. I ordered the zucchini fritters and they were inedible - too much oil/over fried with oil that I think might have been a bit less fresh than it should have been, by the taste of it, and under seasoned. I took two mouthfuls and through it in the bin. The poached eggs I ordered as a side were great, but the rest was awful. read more

Great local spot... well I am not a local but feel like I am! Buzzing on a Saturday morning with a great atmosphere. Its hard to find good breakfast spots in Adelaide but this is defintely one of them. The casual organic feel, large breakfast menu, fast and friendly service defintely is a winner for me. Vegan and food intolerant friendly... I think everyone on our table made changes to their menu selection! The cafe isn't huge but they are able to cater for groups and there is more room outside. read more

On a warm Tuesday morning my friend and I needed a lunch place on a side of town that neither of us are accustomed with. After a bit of googling I stumbled across Hawker's Street Cafe, and, with vague notions that it had a good vegetarian side to the menu for my friend, we organised to meet. The lunch was absolutely perfect for the both of us. I had a sourdough BLT baguette with avocado which was the perfect size for how hungry I was. The bread was toasted perfectly and the ingredients incredibly fresh, it was obvious that the bacon had been cooked the moment I had ordered it. My friend had the zucchini and corn frittatas on salad and claimed it was all delicious. The atmosphere of Hawker's Street is laidback but incredibly friendly and cool. We sat in the back patio area and were allowed to pet some of the neighbouring table's dogs as we waited for our food. While it was an open area we felt able to talk freely and didn't feel like we were intruding on other people's lunches. The staff were punctual and lovely, bringing us water and cutlery as soon as we needed it. I will definitely be back to Hawker's Street soon. read more

Good coffee, a little slow because they are always busy but decent coffee and decent prices. Food looks good but haven't tried it but the coffee is on point mates! read more
