Macho Macho Cafe

So lucky to have this place local! We’ve been twice now. The food is amazing and I love the vibe. They also have a big drinks list. I had a vegan tzatziki here I will never forget and I’m not even a vegan!

Popped in here to grab some takeaway coffees recently (great coffee, super quick service) and was keen to return to try their tasty looking menu. It's definitely more of a breakfast/brunch place or dinner with a small lunch menu featuring all day brunch. I chose the sauteed forest mushrooms and added haloumi. I loved the polenta popcorn (I wish there'd been more) and all the flavours worked really well together. My egg was a touch over cooked but nothing to complain about. Great atmosphere, beautifully presented food, everyone enjoyed their meals and service was great. Would definitely recommend and would love to go back to try more options, especially their dinner menu.

Hubby and I tootled along to this newly-opened café last week for a quick lunch. We were lucky enough to find a park for the car just round the corner. Service was friendly and efficient, the waitress very nice. Our order was taken quickly, and our food arrived within minutes. Very prompt indeed. I chose house made potato hash cakes, 2 chunky cakes on my plate with a poached egg (sadly a bit overdone; I like ‘em runny) and a couple of slices of chorizo. This was very filling, and made for a tasty lunch. My iced coffee was okay; not as strong as I like though. I guess I should have asked for a double shot.<br/ <br/ Hubby had a strawberry milkshake; not quite as he had hoped. For some reason, it is jolly hard to get a good one with enough flavouring and cold enough. Sadly this fell into the not so great category. His brunch burger was tasty, with lovely tender bacon and a hash cake instead of a meat pattie. (He gave me a piece of the soft bacon; which I loved). And his egg had a nice, runny centre. He really loved that the bun was not sweet (hard to find these days), and enjoyed this burger.<br/ <br/ We shared a plate of rosemary salted chips; delicious. They looked house made with quirky shapes and a tiny bit of skin on the ends (which we both liked). Crunchy, and soft inside.<br/ <br/ As one often finds these days, there are lots of hard surfaces which makes for a very loud, somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere. Honestly I’m happy to talk to my fellow diners, folks! Turn down the music please. Other than that, it is a lovely bright and colourful space with plenty of light. It is a bit Tardis-like too, as it has a fairly large interior.<br/ <br/ Thursday to Sunday it is open till late, with a bar and tapas also available.

Came on a Sunday morning for brunch and ordered the eggs Benedict with salmon and a cappuccino. The eggs Benedict was delicious, perfect temperature, perfect portion size, the bread was great, it tasted soo good. The cappuccino was a little cold but it was alright nonetheless. Had great service and the waitress came by to check on us to see if everything was going well. I see this place doing really well. :

Finally made it to Macho Macho. Been wanting to go here for a while. Got a chance to meet up with some school mums after drop off. It's very conveniently located and perfect place to meet up. The coffee here was great and the service was lovely. It has a very pleasant ambience so l would love to go back for either lunch and dinner.
