Brunch @ Elk Espresso (Gold Coast)

After a venture to Broadbeach to dine at the wonderful Social Eating House + Bar, I wanted to go back to the area to try out a brunch spot. I picked Elk Espresso mainly due to its close proximity and that fact that I was hungry. Located in what looks like the ground floor of […] Read more…

Brunch @ Little Oink

On one of those spur of the moment Saturday brunches, a friend and I decided to head north-side and try brunch at Little Oink in Cook. There are a few tables outside covered in brightly coloured tablecloths. As I stepped inside, the beautiful colours and images painted on the feature wall are the first things […] Read more…

Brunch @ Tree Eighty3

Tucked away in Bailey’s Corner in Civic, lies cute newly named cafe Tree Eighty3, replacing the Yum Yum Tree. One of my blog readers contacted me to check it out.

Brunch @ Common Grounds Cafe

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.

Brunch @ Doubleshot in Deakin

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…

Take away @ Autolyse

I was in the Braddon area on a Sunday and decided to stop by Autolyse to get a late take away lunch. At 2.30 in the afternoon, the place was packed with every single outdoor table taken and a few people sitting inside. There was also a long queue to order. The last time I […] Read more…
