on trend

Tucked away in a side street of Surry Hills lies the highly anticipated Reuben Hills. Not only does the menu look incredible (you can have a look-see online before you go), but it's the talk of the town for both brekkie-lovers and foodies on Instagram. Not to mention they were awarded the 2013 best boutique roaster by SMH Good Cafe Guide...



Industrial design meets shabby chic with exposed brick, a garage roller-door and a sneak peek into their entire coffee-making process. They even offer coffee cupping/tasting sessions every Friday morning at 10am! With specific attention to accessibility (for the coffee and the food), owners Nathan Borg and Russell Beard draw inspiration from their various coffee buying trips through Central and South America.



The food looks incredibly inviting, and I immediately regretted that I didn't come with more people (now I only had a couple of meals to taste test!). We decided on the soft baked eggs with chorizo, spinach, ranchero and rye and the blueberry sago with tapioca pearls, banana, agave syrup, almond milk and cacao nibs. Thumbs up for having the most hipster and on-trend brekkie! The dishes were well crafted with texture, presentation, ingredients and taste.



Previously blogs have mentioned they had an issue with the wait-staff and the amount of time they waited, but I had absolutely no complaints. They provided their recommendations, and waited on us really quickly. On that note, I'm totes going back to try their french toast (it looks phenomenal!), dogs breakfast and the really fucking great fried chicken. And their sweets. And their shakes. OK, we all need to go there to try everything on the menu... who's with me?
