After staying the night and not fancying our chances at The Vine Hotel for breccy we went hunting.
Unfortunately Yelp is not always up to date so I looked up brunch places with Google first. It was a choice between here and #1 Coffee..I'm so glad I came here.
The venue was large and spacious with tassled lanterns hanging down from high ceilings with bare floor boards and random art on the walls. The kitchen was open and quite frankly apart from the multitude of cushions I had to move to sit..I liked the venue here..
The breakfasts contained your usual but with some Mexican twists in some. I also saw burgers and tapas on the menu. Anyway I rarely go for veggie stuff ..I think its because I spent 16 years of my life as one.. but rather than choosing my usual eggs benedict I went for this sweetcorn pancake with pit beans, Avocado..tomatoes with a poached egg. My other half had the Lounge eggs with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce. The coffee looked good so I chose a iced coffee with hazlenut syrup ans himself a flat white.
The coffees were well made and the food arrived shortly afterwards. Both dishes were presented nicely and mine tasted superb. The pancake was really dense so it was surprisingly filling..the splashes of salsa brought the dish to life with the creamy avocado and beans. I tasted the hollandaise sauce in my partners dish and it was sublime.
Overall the food was perfect in my eyes and the coffee was fairly priced. The staff were really lovely too..they didn't ask how are food was though which was my only gripe but Would certainly come back here again. read more
