A Canberra foodie's adventures
After receiving news that Lonsdale Street Roasters’ brand new kitchen was open, I headed in one morning to try out breakfast. I made my way to the counter where a massive blackboard with the menu written in chalk hangs against the wall. I see that Flute Bakery bread is used at LSR 23 as they […] Read more…
On a cold grey morning, some friends and I decided to brunch at the recently opened Tranquilo Espresso, which replaces Four Buds cafe. Located on the ground floor of the Mode 3 building on Lonsdale Street, the small cafe faces Autolyse and Lonsdale Street Roasters 23. The cafe is in a small nook with just […] Read more…
A few friends and I stopped in at Common Grounds Cafe in Gowrie for brunch one Saturday morning. I’d never heard of this cafe until reading a Canberra Weekly article about the place. Located at the Gowrie shops in Tuggeranong, the cafe is easy to find. Just follow the signs to the shops. At 10am, […] Read more…
I used to grab take-away lunch in Woden from a cafe called Pure Oxygen. They made some fantastic toasted sandwiches. To my dismay, they closed down the Woden shop to move to Deakin under new management and a new name – Doubleshot. That was late last year. I finally made it there over the Anzac […] Read more…
Some friends and I wanted to try out Chatterbox in Belconnen and made it there one Saturday morning. There are bright yellow banners displayed outside so you can’t miss it. When I got there, all outdoor tables were taken. Must be a popular spot with the locals. I love the wall of potted plants inside […] Read more…
I’ve been to Poachers Pantry a few times for lunch and dinner, but have never managed to go for weekend brunch until last weekend. Fortunately, after a whole week of rain, the Saturday morning we had booked in for brunch was sunny and warm. Poachers Pantry is about a 25 minute drive from the city […] Read more…
I’ve been wanting to try out Gozleme Cafe ever since its big signs went up on London Circuit (close to UniPub) in the city. Gozleme Cafe is only open Monday to Friday for breakfast and lunch. If you don’t work in the city, it can be difficult to find an excuse to visit. I saw […] Read more…
Remedy by Lonsdale Street Roasters and Morks Thai recently introduced a joint breakfast collaboration at the Kingston Foreshore. Located out the front of Remedy, a table and BBQ are set up to cook the day’s simple menu. There are only two options – both $10 each. These vertical gardens are everywhere now. I like it!

I walked past Paleo Perfection Espresso Bar the other week, and after finding its Facebook page, I found out it was opening today. As mentioned in my previous post, they had a stall at the Bus Depot Markets selling chocolates, muffins and other sweet things. Their signage states no dairy, grain, gluten, peanut, cane sugar […] Read more…
A friend and I had brunch at The Old Crow in Northbridge, just a few doors down from Tuck Shop Cafe. We went in around 10am on a Sunday morning and not really knowing how the place worked, we waited around for service but didn’t get any, so we wandered inside. A waitress mentioned there […] Read more…
