What an eclectic morning this was! Andrew recommended this cafe based on the knowledge that one of his students works here. Located in an odd mini-plaza in the unjustifiably pretentiously named 'Orange Grove' (read: Lilyfield), DiVi is rightfully renowned for its coffee. Diego (Andrew's friend who kindly waited on us - despite it being a self-order kind of place) told us that they source their own beans of which 20% come from his native Columbia. They have a limited brunch menu but the prices reflect this no nonsense kind of 'tude that prevailed in this social enclave.
The real highlights came from the passing circus rath
er than the food. While there we were visited by pigeons, feminists (the Feminist Bookshop is right next door), drunkards, try-hard rebels (who need to realise that a lack of underwear is not a sign of being hip), false eye-lashes [see photo] and child slave labour (the waiters who served us should be home studying for the Grade 5 NAPLAN tests!).
Anyway, we scored 12.5/15 for the Quiz (Distinction) and enjoyed the morning before heading off to the nearby markets.
RATINGS:
BRAD says: In context, I give it 4 golden eggs for what it was and where it is. Good Italian scrambled eggs (ironically recommended by our Columbian friend).
SAL says: 3.5 eggs but half an egg more for the hilarious riff-raff captured in my photos.
ANDREW says: 4.5 golden eggs to support my excellent student. Diego, your teacher is very proud of you and your very good customer service skills. Now I can understand why you were almost always late to class.
