A Canberra foodie's adventures
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…
A group of us set out for Thredbo in the early morning for a weekend of summer activities. On the drive there, we stopped at the Wild Brumby Distillery for brunch. On that warm morning, the first thing I wanted was a cold drink, so I ordered freshly squeezed orange juice. It came out in […] Read more…
Autolyse, a popular bakery and cafe in Braddon, is a place I’ve been meaning to check out for nearly a year. I always hear great things about it but just never managed to get down there. I finally got some time to go early in the New Year. I had a look at the website […] Read more…
The latest addition to Lonsdale Street in Braddon, Mood Food & Co, opened its doors yesterday. My friend and I arrived for dinner and were greeted warmly by our waiter and shown to a table.

The front bi-fold windows are a great idea to open up the place especially during the warmer months. The cafe […] Read more…
The Mill House Cafe in Queanbeyan is located in the historic mill house built in 1883. The actual cafe is located towards the back. Seating is on the back deck or yard with one small table indoors. It looks a little run down, but I would be too if I was 130 years old. The […] Read more…
My partner and I headed to Kusina in Weston Creek for brunch. I love their dinner menu so was keen to try out a Filipino brunch. On the Filipino Favourites menu there is dried marinated beef, sweet cured pork, garlic sausage or a chicken omelette all served with garlic rice and a fried egg ($14.50). […] Read more…
The European opened its doors in Kingston on Tuesday, replacing Artespresso. I was greeted warmly and had my pick of tables. I was also immediately asked if I’d like a coffee to start with. Tick. The inside has a slight rustic and raw feel with wooden floorboards and benchtops, black and white tiles, a mix […] Read more…
