Outside we were in the middle of the full throttle Vietnam style torrential pour down! No joke, the weather was psychotic and raining without warning. Actually let me rephrase….. SH*T pouring down without notice.
Inside however, we were warm and toasty and surrounded by the aroma of coffee beans and eggs.
There was the light buzz of conversation, and was surpisingly busy for a friday morning.
Weekday breakies often attract the “ladies of leisure” or young mum types, however today there was a nice healthy mix of ‘cbf going to work on Friday’ folk.
This little cafe is a pretty much the only one of its kind Glenhuntly (that I’m aware of), and one of only a handful in the Carnegie/Ormond/Glenhuntly area.
Daniel ordered the most amazing looking portobello mushies with poached eggs – which was causing some food envy on my part!
Soooo exciting to see the perfection of the “poached-poke-ooze” shiver. Yes, it gives me a thrill to see the oozing golden lava flow over the meal.
Although the presentation was appealing, there is something about seeing Rocket on everything that urks me…. I think I’m pretty bored with the same green everywhere I go….I think I’m craving some ‘pushing of boundaries’ when it comes to leafy greens. (Portulaca would be not only visually playful but a varied addition to the breakfast flavour.)
I ordered corn fritters which originally came with bacon, but thought I might mix it up and alter to come with smoked salmon:
I added the salmon instead of bacon b/c I secretly think I was craving corn fritters from Yellow bird.
What I had failed to foresee was the intense Morrocon infusion of flavour in the fritters….and the Salmon didnt play well with that.
It in fact was really disappointing – but totally my bad. (sad face)
I ordered my usual soy chai, and ate away my troubles. At least I didn’t alter that order, and it was beautiful and creamy and sprinkled with cinnamon love dust!
As a result of my bad first experiene – totally my fault for changing a good menu, I think i’ll need to try it again.
For a “kaffe” trying to be a little different in a very “sameness” area, they were doing a good job, and wouldn’t hesitate going back for a second try.

Tastefully yours,
