Cronuts @ Penny University

I follow Penny University’s facebook page and noticed they recently introduced cronuts to their weekend menu. I’m informed that their bakers get in at 2am so the earlier you go in, the better chance you have of buying one. These maple and thyme glazed cronuts are displayed at the front counter near the cash register […] Read more…

Coffee @ Remedy by Lonsdale Street Roasters

The latest Lonsdale Street Roasters project, Remedy, opened up at the Kingston Foreshore in late December. Remedy only offers coffee and some pastries – no cooked food. This provides some strong competition, mainly for 38 Espresso, and for the other cafes offering coffee. I headed there on their first day of trade for 2014.  Opposite […] Read more…

Burrito @ Frank and Beanz

I was shopping out at Majura Park and stopped to have a quick lunch. I noticed Frank and Beanz – a shop selling hot dogs, burritos, quesadillas, nachos and more. It claims to be a gourmet, healthy, fast food alternative. I ordered a classic – the beef burrito ($10.50) consisting of beef chilli con carne, […] Read more…

Lunch @ Little Brooklyn

I’ve walked through Green Square in Kingston the last couple of months wondering what would open up in the building being renovated there. I think quite a bit of work went into the building’s facade. After reading Canberra Time article, I was excited to read that Little Brooklyn would be a New York inspired bar […] Read more…

Friday night dinner @ Penny University

After having breakfast at Penny University, I was eager to try out their dinner menu. A group of friends and I were seated at a table inside looking out the open windows onto the street. I was a tad late and missed out on our waitress’s speech on the benefits of organic cola. Curious, I […] Read more…

There are several types of lamb pies that I’ve come across – original lamb, peas and potato, butter lamb, smokey chilli, Moroccan, Afghani, and pumpkin and […] Read more…

Half price mussels @ Belgian Beer Cafe

Tuesdays is half-price mussel night at the Belgian Beer Cafe in Kingston. A whole kilo of mussels with Belgian frites and mayo (usually $30-32) for less than $16. The cafe is fitted out with dark chocolate wooden panels against the walls, and wooden tables and benches. It has a really laidback vibe with people enjoying […] Read more…

Half-price banquet @ Iori Plus

Iori Plus is the sister restaurant to both Iori and Coo in Civic. It opened up a while ago in Deakin (replacing the all-you-can-eat yumcha) and I’ve been told by a few people that the food there is better than the original Iori. Glancing at their website, I noticed they do a half-price banquet on […] Read more…

Opening of Penny University – Kingston

The latest cafe to open in Kingston, Penny University, had its official opening today. I’ve been eagerly waiting for it to open for some time now so I was very excited at trying it out. The front bi-fold windows are a great idea to open up the place especially during the warmer months. The cafe […] Read more…

The cafe is on the ground floor on the corner of a large building. With the sun shining […] Read more…
