Needless to say, as soon as I discovered this place I stopped, jumped out, and grabbed a coffee. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to grab some breakfast, but I did grab what turned out to be an awesome coffee. Yeah, my gut feeling turned out to be correct, this place was awesome, but then again many of the awesome coffee shops happen to be located in the back streets, much like this one.

When I asked for a refund, it took quite a while and only the sandwich was refunded, not the coffees we'd had while waiting. The food in the display cabinet looked fairly average, so perhaps it was just as well we didn't wait any longer. Overall, a disappointing experience and not one I'd return for.

The cafe channels a hipster vibe with mismatched furniture and an eclectic use of items as display cases, but the owners have really maximised the space here whilst allowing the patrons to have enough breathing room. Staff are friendly in store and always up for a chat and happy to give you their recommendations on food or tea blend options. The Menu has a good range of breakfast and light lunch options and vegetarians will find themselves relatively well looked after. I'm a big fan of their pancakes (which are really pikelets) as they are very generous on the portion sizes as well as topping options. The coffee here is a wee bit bitter for my own liking but their lattes are crazy creamy. The Litttle Leaf also mixes their own tea blends you can buy in store, whilst I'm not a tea drinker myself, friends have assured me it is top notch. The Leaf 'n' Bean also puts on regular events with live music, exhibitions and dessert nights on their cards.

Homemade cakes, muffins and slices (a large range of those being gluten free) taste like nanna has baked them herself. We tried the "Lemon Situation," GF Orange and Almond Cake and GF Apple and Rhubarb Crumble muffin thing and were all impressed and received our sweet quota for the week. The Iced Coffees were very creamy and rich with vanilla ice cream - made with real coffee but perhaps a tad too sweet for me. The atmosphere of this cafe is comfortable with a range of seating options from couches to large share tables and cushioned seats in the corner. They also have a lovely courtyard for sitting in during the day. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive and seem to really love where they work. I didn't manage to try their breakfast or simple lunch options of soup, sandwiches and quiche etc on the menu but will definitely be back.

The first thing I noticed was an older ethnic man standing behind the front counter, talking out loud as if to a family member but it was a customer. This was the first snapshot into the almost cult following the cafe has encountered and with service like that, being treated as if part of the family (I which I had a share in the biz) who wouldn't go back! You want panini they got it and other varieties of bread, you want cheese to go with it, no problem which one would you like! It's like a mini central market or the markets of Province right here, seriously it's got everything and anything sweet or savoury. Easy parking and located along the tramline with the stop almost directly out the front, no pushing and jostling to get there as it's away from the Jetty Rd mayhem, a great location to catch up with friends. It's definitely a destination. Some people move house to be in the school zone they want to send their kids to or want to be closer to the doctors they visit or their families...I want to live closer to this place, my diet would be out the window but who cares, this is the life!

Ok now I've got that off my chest, this place, its breakfasts and coffees are criminally good. Select your poison from 3 different single origins for your coffee, but know that none of them are as good as their Indian Tiger Mountain. Not just because the name is ninja cool, or that it's the first engrish coffee bean I've seen in Adelaide, but because it is strong and fierce like a tiger mountain would be. The teas also are from some local field or something, but really you're not coming all this way for some flavoured water. Sit down amongst a mash up of big communal and group tables, worn couches, bench seats or up at the piano if you fancy and watch as every mother's group, young family, hipster on their bike and local wander in like zombies looking for their coffee fix of the day. Service is punctual and friendly and soon we receive our breakfasts that I had to double check the prices of because they were so big. $17 for a big breakfast and $15 for haloumi, avo and poached eggs is ridicurous. So was the actual breakfast. Perfectly cooked, gooey poached eggs atop a crunchy white piece of toast with a simple haloumi and rocket salad made for a happy Chloe. Unpretentious on every level, simple meals and smashing coffee make this place as mysterious and hidden as an Indian Tiger Mountain. Get along before it becomes endangered and overrun with hipsters.

Eire café (pronounced "air-ah") whose name is derived from the Irish word for Ireland, is owned and…read moreoperated by Irish (french pastry specialist) executive chef Stephen Lowery and his partner Zoi. The café is amazing in its own right, but has an offshoot business Eire Pies - which according to their website was a challenge brought by a customer to Stephen to make more savoury pies for his menu. Eire pies are now sold at Foodland supermarkets , Tony and Marks at Gelnunga and Brickworks as well as in the café itself; and have amazing flavours such as braised lamb and rosemary, duck curry, beef and potato and vegan chickpea and lentil. On top of this achievement, Eiri café also produce a wide range of delicious biscuits, cakes and patries, and do an amazing brunch ( 7:30am - 2:30pm on weekedays and 8:30-2:30pm on weekends). I have popped in a few times on the way to work and was impressed; but this Saturday we stopped for breakfast/brunch on the way to running some errands. I had the pancakes with banana, maple syrup and mascarpone and I added bacon to it because bacon and maple syrup just belong together. My partner had cornbread with spicy tomato salsa, grilled haloumi, poached eggs and she also added bacon. My pancakes were light fluffy and delicious, but quite filling. The bacon was cooked well and the whole meal made me very happy, with big generous slices of banana and a pot of maple syrup on the side). My partner's corn bread meal though, was the stand out. I'm definitely getting that next time. I have never tried cornbread like Eire's before. It was light and fluffy and I think it was deep fried, but not oily. Perfect. I'll be back, for pies, for breakfast and for coffee. Cheers guys.

But, if you love a great brekkie, brunch or lunch, check them out! Actually, you should go out of your way to check them out. My partner insisted that I give this café a go. He had tried some of their pastries before and loved them! In fact, this café sells their pies to Foodland Supermarkets. I have seen them in the Norwood one if you are interested. So, they are obviously doing a great job. The café has a good amount of space in it for a few groups of people. There is cute little collection of vintage items on tables and a pretty vertical garden inside. Eclectic in style. As for my brekkie, I had to order the corn fritters. I am so glad that I did, they were amazing! I have never had fritters like these before. They were deep fried, crispy and so super fluffy inside. They were topped with some tasty fried haloumi, greens and served with some fresh tangy salsa and cream. I was in the mood for some bacon as well, so I ordered that as an extra. I was so full afterwards though. I have to say, this is one of the best breakfasts I have had in a while. It really impressed me. Lot's of skill and love was put into this dish. I look forward to stop there again when I am in the neighbourhood.

You are so lucky to be set in such a beautiful little neighbourhood, so close to the industrial train lines but tucked away amongst all those cute Goodwood cottages. The cute embroidered chair cushions and large wooden tables was a nice detail you added to my lunch experience. Although your prices are a little bit more than your standard cafe, the choice you provided was great for lunch. And you must have known I'm a fan of an all day brunch too. My coffee was smooth and lunch of citrus smashed avo on rye with smoked salmon and fetta was fresh and zingy. My dining partner's pulled pork bun with potato salad looked lovely too. Thank you for friendly and speedy service. I look forward to catching up again soon. Best wishes, Chloe

Dear Daisy occupies the space left by the Leah St Deli and is right on the tram line next to the Forestville tram stop next to the hairdressers. I've popped in and out of here a number of times for coffee and have been most satisfied with smooth flat whites and spicy long blacks and am always pleased with the sparkly service and cheery staff. The menu here is catered to the breakfast/brunch crew (all day breakfast, huzzah!) but Dear Daisy is developing a great lunch menu. The selection features all your standards for brekkie and lunch has a mix of wraps and rolls as well as some great specials (pulled pork buns, zucchini fritters anyone?) and over the past week since its opened I've seen the menu change and evolve. Lunching here I had a pulled pork bun with coleslaw with potato salad on the side, the pork was soft and tender and the potato salad had pickles (yay!) with yumminess all round. Pricing is quite reasonable and on the cheap side for the Goodwood area. Really looking forward to getting round to breakfast here and with 7am opening on the weekdays, I'm thinking a post night duty pick me up breakfast treat is in order!
