We were greeted by friendly staff who pointed us in the direction of their outdoor courtyard which was quiet and spacious, perfect on a sunny day. We ordered the Smashed Avocado, Chilli Scrambled Eggs and Nourish Bowl (most with added halloumi). All these meals were thoroughly enjoyable and accompanied by Industry Beans coffees all of which I would definitely recommend. The food/coffee, service and venue resulted in this 5 star rating. Thank you Saint James Café.

The outdoor courtyard was small and intimate. I loved the feature wall full of plants/succulents<br/  <br/ DRINKS<br/ Iced Latte with Almond Milk: A refreshing, tasty coffee dish<br/  <br/ FOOD<br/ Smashed Avo: A simple dish done exceptionally well. The egg was poached perfectly. There was a generous amount of avocado feta ontop. The addition of red pepper hummus added a nice slightly sweet flavour to the overall dish<br/ Nourish Bowl: My friend really enjoyed this dish<br/  <br/ The service was awesome.

The beef brisket on the saint benedict was so succulent juicy there was a lot of it! Definitely left leaving full. My friend thought her fish finger butty had an interesting combination of flavours but they all mixed well together wants to try and make her own version at home. I have to say the service was 10/10. This lady kept always made sure we were alright making sure we got everything we needed. Which I thought was lovely.

I’m a huge bacon fan and it was the bacon portion size in the photos that got me there. Easily one of the best breakys I’ve had in a long time I had the smashed avo with a side of bacon. The bacon was huge and the smashed avo was packing flavour with orange hummus a green herby sauce. Coffee was so good I had three. Keep up the good work guys, we will be back again soon!!!

The fritters were pretty tasty with the sweetness of the corn and the saltiness of the halloumi. The salsa was a good addition giving the fritter and extra kick!<br/ <br/ Apple Bircher served with coyo, seasonal fruits, mango coulis, berries, rose water poached pear and toasted coconut flakes! This was a lovely meal to eat as the bircher was on point and the seasonal fruits were very fresh!<br/ <br/ Pan fried gnocchi served with beans, asparagus, goats feta and pumpkin veloute! The gnocchi was so good it was not over cooked and was not soft and melted in the mouth! The cheesiness from the feta also made it really tasty!<br/ <br/ Blueberry and ricotta hotcakes served with vanilla custard, blueberry compote, orange caramel, dried orange, ricotta crisp and berries! The hotcakes were thick but a little bit dry.<br/ <br/ We had a fun time at Saint James and would be happy to visit again to try the rest of their menu!
