the copper mill

went to "the copper mill" cafe today with a friend and  we both had the avo on toast. there were lots of options but the non vegan avo on toast really sold me. it came prepared with a thick peice of sourdough toast covered in avocado slices, sesames seeds, dukkah and chilli flakes(chilli flakes came on the side) and was topped off with peruvian feta and a poached egg. the meal was terrific. very light but very filling at the same time :d i also ordered the coconut iced chocolate. i was asked if i wanted full cream or lite milk which although a simple question showed the flexibility the cafe has. (hopefully they were not hinting anything :s ) this didnt have too much of a coconut flavour and just tasted like a standard (non blended) iced chocolate. unfortunatly (being the clutz i am) i spilt my drink but the waitress came and cleaned it up straight away. i offered to clean it up but she insisted and sorted tthe problem out very quickly. we were very impressed with the service here.  the menu's were brought out pronto along with a cup ad water, we sat outside as we had dogs which was nice to get some cool air but being right on the road and surrounded by people waiting for takeaway meals it got a bit busy. they had agreatselection of fresh muffins and croissants, sandwiches and slices. as it was a very popular cafe though it did seem like the takeaway was taking a while for the people there but that didnt effect us. coffee was also very tasty. we found that the cost of the extras were a bit exxy but it was good to see different types of extras eg. pork belly. i think the major selling points was our main meal and the service with the let downs being the location of the outdoor seating and the lack of coconut flavour in the iced coconut chocolate. will return.

the place gets really busy! the staff is extremely friendly. i ordered the french toast. it's a very different style.greatif you like food adventure

the effort they put into flavouring something simple like avocado toast or porridge is astounding but i heartily recommend the peruvian roll -greatcombination of crispy pork and tender (but not soggy) pork with a fantastic sauce. the meals are all small but they are priced accordingly so it'sgreatif you're not into stuffing your face with most cafes' huge meals. the coffee was hot and rich although one of the ones i had was a little bitter. that was the only disappointment.

trendy vibes, delicious food andgreatservice. agreatlocal cafe if you're in alexandria. quick and prompt service and really take care of customers overall experience.

we initially found the copper mill to be quite chaotic. lots of people cued up with no separate line or signage for take away and dining in house. we were abruptly told to wait as there was a list of people before us. as it turned out there was no one before us and were then welcomed by two lovely staff members. the menu is small but it wasgreatto see a turmeric latte there. the food was good, portions are a little on the small side but there are lots of nice and fresh flavours. we weren't blown away, but it was nice to try somewhere a little different for breakfast.

i've been here many times before by myself, with friends and it is always awesome.greatfood and quick service. the people are hipster and always nice. the lady today was super nice and helpful. it has a rustic feel inside. there were some specials available like soup, salad, baked beans, eggs. however, today i went simply for the chai. i've seen and heard amazing things about the turkish salep middle eastern rose and pistachio chai. i tell you what - it did not disappoint. it was incredible. i would go back in a heartbeat, just for that. it was a rose flavoured chai with rose petals and pistachios on the rim. awesome! you gotta try it peeps.

very chilled atmosphere in this inner west cafe. popular with locals. dreadlocks reign supreme. interesting menu with some healthy options to help with new year resolutions.greatcoffee!!

perfection!! perfect flat white and a spot on menu!! i ordered the avocado, roasted tomato, summac, perfect poached eggs on a rye bread and my boyfriend ordered the chicken burger.greatservice, awesome menu and fair price.

great coffee,greatfood andgreatservice! it can get really busy at lunch time on weekends but it's worth the short wait. the peruvian sandwich was to die for!

great cafe with mexican twist.greatservice, they mistakenly gave us the wrong dish and didn't charge us for it. it wasn't such a bad mistake after all because the roasted pork and egg roll was definitely one of the best i've tried, the pork with crackling was excellent! we also tried one of the specials item on the board, which was a puffed galette with pumpkin haloumi and poached egg. everything was cooked to perfection, and it was nice light dish in comparison to the pork roll, and the coconut ice chocolate was fun, nothing overly exciting and came with a generous dollop of coconut ice cream. coffee is good. communal seating is slightly uncomfortable, but all in all agreatcafe.

horrible service. some of the most unfriendly staff i've ever encountered.greatatmosphere and friendly when they first opened but the decline in customer service has been steady. my last 2 visits resulted in the wrong coffee and meal being served up along with some pretty poor attitude when i insisted on my original order. i hope it improves.

huevos rancheros with added chorizo and avocado. two perfectly cooked crispy fried eggs on a bed of sautéed beans, pork and capsicum accompanied by a mouth watering slice of pork belly. all this sitting on top of a home made blue corn tortilla. the flavours in this dish are really lovely and i definitely dig the mexican feel. the added side of chorizo was a tasty accompaniment that was charred on the outside, succulent and bursting with flavour. the perfect mixture of meat and fat. this was agreatbreaky however the large chunks of capsicum kind of take away from the rest of the dish’s flavour and might be a bit full on for a breakfast. about these ads div.wpa>div { margin-top: 1em; } #google_ads_div_wpcom_below_post_adsafe_ad_container { display: block !important; } share this:

tucked away in the suburbia part of alexandria lies a small cafe which reeks of a melbourne meets brunswick street. the copper mill is a quirky cafe with wooden stools beautiful wooden tables andgreatcoffee with a pumping vibe. the copper mill is just around the corner from the grounds so if your tired of waiting, you might have to wait a bit at the copper mill too but not as long and painful as the grounds can sometimes be. their menu is written up on a chalk board and is fairly limited with options which makes it a whole lot easier deciding on what to choose. mr.p chose a mexican themed breakfast whilst i decided to go for something on the vegetarian side the copper mill, alexandria a:  338 mitchell road, alexandria nsw 2043
