Such a quaint cafe, ideally situated in the backstreets
of The Rocks in Sydney. The Fine Food Store offers organic food, cheeses and
nic-nacks to takeaway, and also has a sit-down menu with locally sourced coffee
from QLD.
I've been here a few times now, each time is as much the
same as the other. The coffee is amazing, presentation great and atmosphere
laid back and relaxed.
I'm a HUGE bircher muesli fan, so of course I had to try it. Although the presentation is there, it's very difficult to eat and the Bircher a little too sweet for me - it had been soaked in incredibly sweet apple juice. And there is one thing I absolutely cannot stand... It frustrates me more than anything that a gorgeous little cafe uses frozen berries in its meals. Needless to say, I'll never be ordering the Bircher from here again.
If you order the roasted muesli (which is really yummy), ask for milk. All other
meals were great. No complaints on the poached egg front - they were cooked
perfectly. The absolute standout meal? The brioche French toast. Absolutely
insane!! The textures, flavours and the presentation are absolutely to die for. It's definitely worth coming just to experience this.
