Located on a street corner next to a large sunny lawn. It was quite windy, we chose to sit indoors, the vibe was very relaxed. Lots of locals around—some reading newspapers, others chatting with friends. Adelaide really feels laid-back here. Green Waffle ($27) was very unique—packed with ingredients, rich in texture, and surprisingly savoury rather than sweet. Topped with a generous piece of cheese and a perfectly runny egg, it was delicious and memorable. Chilli Eggs ($24) had a well-balanced, flavourful scramble with salad on the side. The soft bread underneath soaked everything up nicely—very satisfying. Drinks were solid: Chai ($5) tasted decent and came in a beautiful cup, while the Latte ($5) had nice latte art and a pleasant flavour. Overall, creative dishes with great depth of flavour, a good variety on the menu, and reasonable prices. Definitely recommended.
The atmosphere is great thanks to the trees nearby. However, service was not too great. I had to wait nearly 30 minutes for food although it was not too crowded. But the most disappointing thing was the food itself. I ordered a dish having sadines with two slices of toast with some herbs. The problem was that the toasts were too hard, causing several minor cuts inside my oral cavity, completely destroyed my experience. Taste can be subjective depending on every customer, but experience cannot be biased.
Toast barely toasted, poached eggs paper thin cooked layer a sloppy semi raw mess. Bacon cooked one side not the other so greasy such a waste of really good food it was served minutes after ordering. Have been here before had a great experience this time very very poor
Visited for lunch on a Thursday. The place had a nice ambience and wasn’t too crowded, which made for a comfortable experience. We sat inside as it was a bit too windy outdoors. Service was great—staff were friendly and attentive. I ordered the bacon toastie and requested no onion jam, but was told it couldn’t be modified as it’s premade and simply reheated, which was a bit disappointing. The bacon was also too hard for my liking. I had a mocha, which was just okay. My friend ordered the chilli eggs, and honestly, her dish looked much more appetising than mine.
We decided to have a friend’s birthday brunch there but I did not book in advanced(my own problem) Unfortunately, the service wasn’t good. I requested a table for five and waited at least 15 minutes, but guests who arrived later simply went to the empty tables. We ended up squeezing into a small one. After that, we placed our order and HAD TO WAIT 45 minutes to be served;) matcha was watery, foods were good overall
