There are all the things you’d expect from a cafe aiming to nurture regulars in a competitive bayside area: a friendly welcome, good coffee, eggs to spec. And then there are a few surprises. The menu leans a little Mexican, with charred corn on the avo toast, habanero dressing on the brekkie bowl and guacamole on the savoury waffles, all served in a glowing room with flexible seating.
Must order: It’s the last dish on an appealing menu, but don’t get distracted on your way to the chimichurri crispy spud, like loaded fries with a fresh makeover.
