*I’ve pulled this out from my old posts, thought it was well worth revisiting!*

291 Auburn rd
Hawthorn

Chic and cosy environment with rustic brick walls flanked by patches of blackboard-like walls, which are rightly decorated with chalk-white cheeky-cute “quotes”.

  

  

 Toasted banana bread w/ maple syrup mascarpone, fresh banana, berry compote + crushed pistachio – was a luscious, moist and fluffy banana bread which sandwiches a mouth-watering mortar of marscapone, wedges of fresh berries, drizzle of sweet syrup, and sprinkles of pistachio. The composition of buttery aroma, sweet & sourness of the compote and crunchiness of the nuts were absolutely delightful! 17.5/20

Croissant w/ ham off the bone, béchamel, emmental cheese + truss tomato – had a crispy, crumbly texture that one would expect of a croissant. The creamy cheese oozed out of the sides mmm! Although, I would have liked a little more acidity from the tomato to help contrast the buttery richness. 15/20

McPorgie – English muffin stuffed w/ ham off the bone, emmental cheese + creamy dreamy scrambles – A toasty muffin with buttery-fluffy eggs and again oozing creamy cheese – delish! It’s far far far superior to any chain-takeaway version *cough*. 15/20

Definitely a place for frequent visits on a lazy Sunday morning! Be wary, the queues are epic…
