After a quick glance at the menu, I decided to play it safe with the big brekkie featuring scrambled eggs and added avo—because, let’s face it, you can’t really mess that up. My partner went for the scrambled eggs on toast, also a low-risk move. Add to that two decent coffees and a chocolate thick shake, and we were looking at a $62 bill, which seemed like a bargain.
First red flag? No sausages for the big brekkie. Instead, they offered extra bacon. Fine, we’ll roll with that—bacon’s always a win. But then the food arrived, and bam—red flag number two. The “big” brekkie was more like a “snack-size” brekkie. And, wait for it… no toast. I repeat: NO TOAST. A big brekkie without toast? That’s a culinary crime.
The mushrooms looked like they’d been for a scenic drive around town before making it onto my plate, I had a sliver of tomato—basically tomato confetti—exactly six baked beans (yes, I counted), and the scrambled eggs seemed to have made a pit stop in the microwave on their way over. The only thing saving this breakfast from total disaster was the mountain of bacon (respect).
When I asked about the missing toast, they promised to bring it out… which they did. But by the time it arrived, my “big” brekkie was already a memory.
Final verdict: Pop in for a coffee (theirs is pretty good), but maybe pass on the food unless you’re into culinary plot twists.
