Rose and Edward has been there for a while, so it was well and truly time to suss it out. It is surprisingly large inside, a bit Tardis-like. There is an undercover area plus a small courtyard out the back. It has been said before that mm mm I have rather a loud voice, so when we entered, heads turned. The charming lady staff member brought us water and menus tout suite, and even though it is counter service, she took our coffee orders at the same time. The coffee is Elixir which is a roasting house close by (in fact, we can smell it from our house), and I think is one of the best coffee brands in town. We both enjoyed our drinks, and Miss ID loved her pretty fern art.
The Favourite is a fabulous dish of chunky parmesan hash cake, smoked salmon, asparagus, poached egg and house made hollandaise sauce. And it's gluten free if you're worried about that sort of thing. This really hit the spot! The asparagus was nice and crunchy (in a good way), the egg only a tiny bit overcooked (sorry guys) and everything fresh and filling. The sauce was light and flavourful; always a plus when house made too. We would both happily go back again to try more of the dishes. I love the sound of the Nutella and raspberry porridge, and the chicken breast wrap. The Picking Verdict: a relaxing place with great service and a congenial atmosphere. Have a great coffee and a tasty meal here any day of the week.
