A Canberra foodie's adventures
I’d heard Tuck Shop Cafe was a popular brunch spot in Northbridge but had limited seating (fits 25 people inside apparently) and was always packed out on weekends. Luckily I’m on holidays so I was able to go in on a weekday. It is rather small and cosy inside. All the tables have wheels at […] Read more…
I’m in Perth for two weeks and took the family out for brunch at Typika Artisan Roasters in Claremont. The first thing my sister and I noticed on the menu was the ‘deconstructed hot chocolate’. I asked our waiter what this was and he mentioned it’s a glass of warm milk, with a small glass […] Read more…
Mrs Sackville recently opened up at the Kingston Foreshore. It’s not along the main strip by the lake, but faces the Bus Depot markets. A lovely framed menu stands outside. Upon entering, the first thing you notice is the mismatched furniture – wooden tables, cute cushions on the seats and benches, then glass tables and […] Read more…
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…
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…
Caffe Cherry Beans is located in Westfield Woden near JB Hifi. It can easily be missed since it’s not anywhere near the food court or other dining places. I dropped in for an early breakfast before work. The layout of the cafe is open with plenty of tables and chairs. They have a decent menu […] Read more…
On a Saturday morning at Loading Zone, it was only a short wait to get a table for 6 people (they don’t take bookings). The previous time I was here for brunch, I ordered the baked eggs which were divine. As much as I wanted to order it again, I thought I’d better try something […] Read more…
Walking into work early this morning, I was greeted by a friendly man standing on the street who informed me that a new cafe/coffee shop just a few doors down had opened up, offering free coffees to everyone today. Who can pass up free coffee?! The cafe is called Quizine, located on Botany Street in […] Read more…
4th Seed is a great new-ish cafe in the Queanbeyan CBD serving breakfast and lunch. I’d read a review that the French Toast was pretty good but was only available on weekends. So on a free Saturday morning, I headed over. They have a display cabinet of yummy treats like macarons, tarts, muffins, cakes and […] Read more…
The breakfast prefix menu at C Dine Bar provides a 2 course menu where you can choose what you would like in each course. It also includes an amuse bouche as a starter. I think this is the only venue in Canberra to offer a breakfast prefix. Love the idea! The amuse bouche was a […] Read more…
