    I have lived and worked in the area for quite a number of years and have walked past this place…read moremany times with intrigue until eventually I set my targets on going there. It's taken three attempts to get a seat in here as this place is exceptionally popular due to its great coffee, food , relaxed vibe as well as brilliantly combined cafe and book store concept. I got excited when I knew I had finally achieved the goal of making it to the counter to order. The menu was on a cute kids book and I decided to order Chai Tea and the Pesto eggs. The place is famous for their Chai tea which comes out in a Tea pot and its freshly brewed. They provide you with a colander to use when pouring it. The chai was so authentic and beautifully spiced. It was so fresh and the tea pot allowed you to have about 2 1/2 cups so ensured you could savour the flavour. The chai had options for Soy , full cream milk , skim or Almond Milk. The Pesto eggs came out on a bread board which consisted of Iggy bread ( famous bread - and for reason, it was delicious) and a mini frying pan for the eggs. The eggs were fried and cooked with Pesto which gave it a beautiful basil and garlic flavour. The combination of rocket and almonds combined perfectly to give it an extra crunchy flavour. The bread was perfect for dipping in the eggs along with the labor dip on the side which gave a beautiful sour taste. When you set your expectations so high sometimes you get disappointed but this wasn't one of those occasions. The experience was very enjoyable from start to finish and can see why people don't want to movie when they visit this place cause their is enough chai and books to make anyone happy forever.

    Stopped in for a quick breakfast while strolling around Bondi Beach in an effort to beat jet lag…read moreafter my flight in from the USA. The Mexican Eggs were an unexpected treat! Nice place, great food. Highly recommend!
