What a gorgeous little place! As you step into this homely little cafe the warmth from the fire and the reggae tunes wash over you and you know that you will be staying here a while and having a long lunch.
Situated on the corner of two significant roads; Sheoak and James, and across the road from St. Johns Primary, for a more peaceful dining experience I suggest avoiding the pick up and drop off rush and gossip session for parents and their children.
I have been here on a Sunday morning and the staff were so lovely and the atmosphere was so homely it was the perfect place to read the paper, I ended up staying here for a couple of hours!
I had the Yemen soup which was a wonderful heavy winter soup containing; chicken, rice, vegetables and mint which was something I have never tried before but worked really well. I even tried to find a recipe for it when I got home and could not find it anywhere (if you know of it please add the recipe in the comments!).
The other meal that was ordered at the table was the big breakfast. This was basic and could have been done better, the baked beans were obviously canned Heinz beans. It is so easy to make home made beans and much tastier too! It would not take much to make the breakfast's here something worth rivaling, adding fried cheese, home made hash browns or signature mushrooms would make the world of difference but they are still getting there!
Would not suggest coming here for a wine. I had a quick look at the reds and most could be bought at Dan Murphy's for around $10 and they are not under priced for what they are. In saying that the milkshakes are one of the best I have had in Adelaide! You still get the silver cup that its made in as well as the glass, which has something that you do not see that much anymore.
If your looking for a new and different place to try in the Blackwood, Belair region, I defiantly suggest you give this place a go.
