Mrs Sippy a new eating house/bar/coffee place. It's split into a number of different areas, the footpath, a verandah space with stools a place to be seen and inside is a large cavernous room with another outside/ inside bar areas at the back. I can imagine this place in the evening being buzzy and people getting stuck into a few drinks. The interior design detail is clever, the use of old fashioned lights and the boards across the ceiling reminded me abit of a woolshed. I felt comfortably in a big squashy lounge so happy with the decor.
The menu was small and nothing unexpected - which these days I think cafes should be working on something extra to get you to come back.
Brunch was just the two of us this morning. We were surprisingly smart this morning without our usual third party scoring a massive 18/20 for the quiz excellent work.
The coffee was very good I had two cups just to make sure, however the norwegian eggs (eggs benedict with smoked salmon) looked a little lonely on the plate a fancy name but not a fancy dish. The eggs however were perfectly poached. Service was intermitant but friendly. An enjoyable morning we chatting about the current cinema that is worthwhile and the upcoming theatre next friday we see Death of Salesman at Belvoir which I am looking forward to. On a sad note discussed the passing of a very favoured pet Hugo he was such a great dog and will be sorely missed by his owner. RIP Hugo.
ANDY: 4.5 for coffee, 3.5 for food Thanks to my favourite outrageous colleague Marie for suggesting this place. I completely share her view of this place & I quote her word for word; " Their coffee is divine, their pastries are crap but their banana bread is good and the trollop ja'mies with hangovers are great too"
