Cafe Denada

Dropped in to have breakfast with a friend yesterday. I had big breakfast while my friend had the vegetarian big breakfast. They were so well presented, fresh and yummy. Nicholas the boss was very friendly and patient with us as we took quite a bit of time deciding what to have. Will definitely come back again.

We went here for the first time the other day. My partner had the big breakky and I had avocado with toast and mushrooms and the açai bowl. I'm vegan and my partner isn't, so it's hard to find somewhere nice to eat together. There were no vegan options on the menu, but I could order single items that were ok and obviously the açai bowl. Unfortunately, the açai bowl didn't contain fresh fruit, but frozen and they were very mushy and not nice to eat. Maybe people would order this item more if they put fresh berries in instead of frozen. The avocado tasted really weird and I was told it had lemon juice and pepper on it which was not stated on the menu, so I asked for normal avocado. It took a good 10mins for my "fresh" avocado to arrive and in the meantime my toast was cold and the açai had melted. Unfortunately, the "fresh" avocado didn't taste fresh at all, but quite old and on the verge of being off, so I couldn't eat it. My partner's breakfast was ok, but he thinks the sausages tasted like they were frozen before cooking. This is a quite expensive place in the middle of a good area, but unfortunately the quality of the food does not reflect that at all. Also, the pot of tea for two was actually a pot of tea for one. Sorry, won't be back.

Cosy Cafe hiding in urban Mt Pleasant. Breakfast and Lunch menus are very good with generous serves and attentive personalised service. The fennel and pork sausages in the big breakfast are delicious. A mix of homestyle favourites like French toast, with a healthy and contemporary twist. Good coffee. As the old saying goes, the man who owns the store runs the store....

After waiting nearly 10 minutes to even be acknowledged, I ordered the Thai chicken patty. Total rip off. I struggled to find any chicken in it at all, it was just full of potato. Ordered a chai latte to go with it which was undrinkable. I’ve been back a few times with the hope that the food, service or coffee would get better but it hasn’t. Way overpriced, poor service, long waits, wrong coffee orders and disappointing food.
