Sydney's getting quite chilly fast, don't you all think? This cold weather has us all retreating to cafes for warming coffees and teas early in the morning. The first sip is always so warming! For something quick, easy and cheap, my friends and I took shelter in Tom n Toms Cafe on Bathurst.

| Clockwise from top left hand corner: half honey butter toast + English Breakfast tea, $5.50 / bacon & egg roll / half garlic butter toast + rose flower tea, $5.50 |
Normally it costs $5.00 for the set but I paid the extra $0.50 for tea because I really am much more a tea person than coffee. This toast was pretty tasty. Though essentially it was just a toastie sandwich. Awesomely crispy and buttery on the outside, melty American cheese on the inside. There was a good sprinkling of parsley but what made this toast different was the drizzle of honey on top. I actually really liked this extra sweetness from the honey! There was nothing fancy going on here, just comfort food at its best on this cold (winter-feeling) morning. I was sad they were out of jasmine tea, but settled for the rose tea which had a nice subtle floral scent (not a fan when it's too overpowering).
K ordered the honey butter toast which had a generous lathering of butter between the two slices of bread. There was honey as well as a sweet caramel-like syrup drizzled on top. Nothing like a sugar hit to start your morning!
M however prefers something savoury to begin her day with and went for the bacon and egg roll.
It was odd seeing the normally incredibly full cafe so empty early in the morning. Of course we have no complains about that - we got the cafe (almost) all to ourselves to chat. What's better than a quick breakfast catchup with your favourite girlfriends? :D

That looks sooo comforting and good! And really thick too-the bread wasn't too thick? :)
ReplyDeleteThe bread was indeed incredibly thick! I swear it was the equivalent of 4 slices of sandwich bread :P This would be easy enough to make at home - perhaps using 4 slices of bread with 3 layers of cheese inside mm... A mega toastie!
DeleteHehe I like the sound of a mega toastie! :P
DeleteWinter is coming - you know what that means! :P
DeleteThat pile of toast looks enormous - but perfect for a cold morning, I agree!
ReplyDeleteSometimes nothing is better than simple toast and butter during winter :D
DeleteLooks like great comfort food =) I've been drinking english breakfast every single day at work instead of coffee, I think I'm addicted!
ReplyDeleteI love tea! Tea trumps coffee in my books and it definitely is a great start to mornings! :)
