Strawberry X Cafe & Catering
Comfortable, spacious café decked out with plenty of red paint. My double macchiato here was strong and well-made, and my chorizo, spinach and fried eggs breakfast very tasty. This place competes with many other highly regarded cafés just a stone’s throw away, but from my time here, it felt like a comfortable place to hang out, the staff were super-friendly, and it looks like it shouldn’t ever be too hard to get a seat. Definitely worth a try.

Solid long black and a tasty flourless orange muffin. Busy but fast, friendly service. A major plus is being open on a Saturday morning since Single Origin isn’t.

Pretty surprised that I hadn’t been here before. Always walked past it on the way to somewhere else. I got a Burrundi Teka 2 pour over. I learned that Burrundi is a country bordering Rwanda. Wow.

Had several very tasty coffees here, both house blend and a Kenyan special. Very good, but not mind blowing.
The breakfast food on the other hand is superb - “tradesmans brioche” and a really ass-kicking baked eggs. And the interior is very swish in a …

The wattle maccacino is their signature coffee, smooth and slightly on the sweeter side. The cute little crunchy biscuit on the side is a nice touch. From their incredibly diverse menu, I tried the ‘croc in a roc’ - the sausages were beautifully herby a…
