my wednesday starts at west end - already knowing where i'll be dining for breakfast, i enjoy my stroll; passing fruit markets and other early bird cafes :)
good morning jacaranda coffee lane, another new establishment that offers you breakfast foods, muffins, cake slices, espressos and smoothies. arriving at the cafe approx 9:50am, there were no customers (yet). i walked towards the counter and was acknowledged by a friendly staff who asked me if i was 'looking to take away or a table'. table of course and i was gestured to grab a seat anywhere.
jumping straight into foods, i went with their smoked salmon tartare on rye w/ poached eggs, ribbon cucumbers w/ wasabi&dill mayo, avocado salsa and citrus creme fraiche. my usual flat white on side :)
breakfast - let me start with poached eggs (cause that's the first thing i like to test out 🍳) nice and runny! avocado is always a love for me and when it's mixed with salsa it's even better. as per the ribbon cucumbers, i couldn't really taste the 'wasabi', the mayo was there though. together, was a light and enjoyable meal.
coffee - unfortunately, the coffee was rather weak for me and only served warm. (the staff asked me how the coffee was and i told him 'it's not bad, but next time i should ask for an extra shot' 👌🏻) couple minutes later, he came back to my table with an extra shot - 'this is for you' :)
so, to the staff there who may read this review, you have just gained a returning customer :) i appreciate your gesture, it was very kind of you!
i look forward to trying more items on the jacaranda menu as well as requesting for my coffee to be extra hot ☕️ friendly and polite staff :)
thank you jacaranda coffee lane!
