Totally fine, but nothing really special. I was on the fence about three or four stars, but I think three is appropriate because:
Poached eggs were hard, not soft. Bacon portion was generous.
Hot chocolate was acceptable (better than you get most places I’ve tried back home in the US!), but other places in Canberra can and do do better.
Arugula/rocket salad greens came out without any dressing, although an attentive staff member noticed it was undressed and brought out some oil and vinegar in a little cup. Greens were fresh, not wilted, which is always nice.
My blueberries pancakes came out hot and well cooked, but had only about a total of ten blueberries between three cakes and they were underripe. They’re apparently ricotta pancakes, so I expected some actual ricotta (like Patissez in Manuka or Beess in Yarralumla), but I guess it must be in the batter. I forgot to ask whether the syrup was real or fake and since I can’t stand the fake stuff, I didn’t taste it and can’t give a recommendation about that either way.
My husband said the coffee was good!
Cute place. A little bit of a tight squeeze with the tables and chairs.
And while we were there, the artwork on the walls was lovely. Always a bonus in any cafe.
Probably won’t return, but if I found myself there for any reason, it’d be okay. See less
