Barrio Collective Coffee – Braddon

Over the long weekend, a friend and I headed to the newest coffee bar to open in Braddon – Barrio Collective Coffee. Located next to The Hive, the entrance is easy to miss (I walked past it a few times) before noticing the minimal signage against the glass window shopfront. Stepping inside, the coffee bar […] Read more…

All day menu @ Two Before Ten (Aranda)

Many of you may know that the much loved Two Before Ten (TBT) in the city temporarily shut down due to the redevelopment of the building. A coffee cart/trailer acted as a substitute enabling city workers to grab their coffee fix. The plan was to build a brand new bigger and better TBT out in […] Read more…

The Cupping Room re-run

I haven’t written another post about The Cupping Room since my first visit when it opened in 2013. I’ve been back several more times now, so this is a compilation of some of these visits (and of the photos I could dig up). The ‘Eat All Day’ menu has its perks meaning you can eat […] Read more…

Breakfast @ A Bite to Eat

The last time I dined at A Bite to Eat at the Chifley shops was during my pre-blogging days. I remember ordering a home made jam doughnut that was served warm and straight out of the fryer. I must admit it has been a long time since I’ve been back and the cafe is much […] Read more…

Breakfast @ Wheat and Oats

After reading a Good Food article on a new cafe that opened up in Phillip (replacing Chocolate Olive Cafe), I decided to check it out for breakfast. Wheat and Oats is a boutique grocer and cafe headed by the same owners of The Hungry Buddha in Curtin. With all the travelling that’s done by the […] Read more…

Breakfast @ Kickstart Espresso

Hidden away behind Subway on Woolley Street in Dickson is Kickstart Espresso, a new cafe offering Toby’s Estate coffee, breakfast toasties and bacon and egg rolls, smoothies and healthy sandwiches and rolls. You’ll notice the cushioned wooden crates and beautiful wooden tables outside. The wooden furnishings continue inside decorating the front counter. The cafe is […] Read more…

Summer menu @ Local Press Cafe

Local Press Cafe is my local breakfast spot and being an early morning person, I usually go for a walk or bike ride around the lake before stopping in for breakfast. The cafe offers completely wholefood and healthy options for both breakfast and lunch. I can never pass on a cold pressed juice ($7) from […] Read more…

Brunch @ Ona on the Lawns

Happy New Year all! I hope everyone had a peaceful and relaxing Christmas and New Year’s break. Thankfully, there were a few cafes and restaurants still open during the Christmas break in Canberra. I headed to Ona on the Lawns in Manuka for brunch with my friend Mr STTA. I’d been to Ona before its […] Read more…

$29 Van breakfast @ Efendy (Balmain)

While in Sydney, my friends took me to Balmain for breakfast at Efendy. I first came across Efendy at the Taste of Sydney Festival earlier in the year, and have read good reviews about it. Efendy also won the Sydney Morning Herald’s Best Breakfast in Sydney 2014 so I couldn’t wait to eat breakfast there! […] Read more…

Saturday brunch @ Dream Cuisine

Dream Cuisine in Fyshwick expanded (earlier this year?) taking over the shop that was next door. This means there is a lot more space to sit down and enjoy the wonderful macarons, tarts and coffee that Dream Cuisine produces. Brunch was on hiatus for a few months (their chef had a skiing accident!). However, Saturday […] Read more…
