The highly creative menu, the associated picklery and bakery, and the hip vibes of the quiet Marrickville locale all point towards a brunch lover's dream. But, on this occasion, the café's ambition was divisive. The flatbread with pork mince and almonds was a gastronomic delight; on the other hand, the bacon and egg roll was ruined, perplexingly, by bitter persimmon, which simply had no place in the meal. Both portions were tiny for the price paid. The distracted service and unimpressive coffee detracted further from an experience that was enjoyable in part, but, compared against the hype, ultimately disappointing.

My favourite dish here is the vegan surprise which is made up of a tasty selection of dips, pickled veg and a fresh salad that's always topped with an irresistible dressing. Most of the veg here is locally sourced and due to availability you never quite know what you are going to get when ordering the vegan surprise but one thing is for sure, your in for a tasty and wholesome meal every time.

I like the rusty and authentic ambient, and they have unique taste. This morning the poached eggs are slightly over cooked and the kiwi fruits look like they are cut yesterday.

I love closer to their Annandale cafe, but when near their Marrickville cafe I definitely try to time it around a meal or coffee at the very least. Great seasonal menus driven by produce and supporters of local producers and waste minimisation.
