Popina

"This little Mayfair spot has scrambled eggs and all the other usual culprits on the menu, but there are some exciting alternatives that you should get involved in, like their house special ranchos with lime guacamole, or the green shakshuka and raclette cheese melt. The french toast section—yes, a whole section—includes Nutella and strawberries, savoury options like goats’ cheese and bacon, and our personal go-to: peanut butter, banana, and toffee." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"Starting your day with peanut butter and banana-heavy french toast just because you can is what life is all about, because making that decision will lead you to places like Popina. This little Mayfair cafe has scrambled eggs and all the other usual breakfast culprits on the menu, but there’s also a whole french toast section—yes, a whole section. The toast is fluffy and light, and the menu includes a Nutella marshmallow melt that sounds just as good as it tastes." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"Having a savings account isn’t what makes you an adult, and neither is pretending to understand how a mortgage works. But starting your day with marshmallow-heavy French toast just because you can, is what being an adult is all about. Because making that decision will lead you to places like Popina. Not to say that this little Mayfair spot doesn’t have scrambled eggs and all the other usual culprits on the menu, but there are some exciting alternatives that you should get involved in here. From their house special Popina’s ranchos with lime guacamole, to the green shakshuka and raclette cheese melt, their savoury menu is something to get out of bed for. And that’s not all. The French toast section—yes, a whole section—includes a Nutella marshmallow melt for when you’re not in the mood for adulting anyway. photo credit: Popina" - Rianne Shlebak
