On a wet summers day the mist was rolling in so it made it all the more pretty. Everything about the cafe is thought thru, from the bakery to finishing touches of the decor. Our waiter was efficient and had a great sense of humour. He certainly made it all the more memorable. The drinks came quickly followed by our delicious meals. We were there for breakfast but there is everything from buying a loaf of bread and toasting it yourself, pastries to the purchase of three different sized picnic baskets. And if the salads on display are anything to go by I'll certainly be back to order one and stroll through their gardens. They are currently expanding the gardens. But there is plenty to do! From lawn bowls, children's play areas, picnic area and meet bubble and squeak the residents of the pig sty. I couldn't recommend the Piggery Cafe enough. I will certainly be back. I could imagine that it will get busy on the weekends if during the week was anything to go by - so be prepared. Happy eating.

The Burnham Bakery and Piggery Café is Shannon Bennett's new venture and rumour has it, there'll soon be a six star resort built here & a micro brewery. The food was yum, we had the BLT on brioche & charcuterie, and five senses coffee was lovely. Watch out for the wasps! Service was pleasant. This spot is available for functions / weddings, etc. Sadly I didn't realise it was a bakery until after we left so next time I will try their baked goodies! They have two funny pet pigs on site, aptly named "Bubble & Squeak". Definitely will return next time I'm looking for a fun day out! Oh I almost forgot! The most important part! Dogs are allowed (on leash) in the outdoor areas and there's an off leash area for dogs near the car park! So bring your pooch! X

After much debate, we settled on the Avocado smash and a Warm Nourishing A.M. Salad. Both meals were really tasty. We saw quite a few meals come out to other customers on a busy Saturday morning. All meals were large and looked very appealing. We were very happy with the coffee!! We will certainly be back.

The "ful" brekky is a divine bowl of fava beans smashed with spices, olive oil and garlic, topped with boiled egg and served with a sliced baguette (they don't skimp on the bread here!).

The place is clean and great for groups or just cheeky solo trip. They got this amazing 14 dollars all you can eat deal during the day, they serve completely everything from veggies, bread, rice, chicken, lamb and beef! So even if you're vegetarian you'll be able to eat at least 3 different dishes. Most of the food they got is curry based, so if you don't like curry this is not a place to go. Nether less the food is served warm and they serve you amazing strong chai tea that taste like nutmeg! The staffs are definitely super friendly and they're very welcoming too :)

We returned to Hello Sailor later though for a cleansing coffee. I must say we very much liked what we saw here. It's a really lovely fit out. Bright and stylish. Wonderful greenery around. Good playlist on. A great feel overall was our strong impression. A lovely pkace. They're at best practice here with water with free sparkling water on tap. Exactly as it should be. Onto more important things. The coffee here is superb. Smooth, silky and substantive. It was expertly made and we loved our long black and flat white respectively. Add a salted caramel cookie and all was good with the world. Nice place. We'll make it for a meal here next time. The dishes other people were tucking into nearby looked good.

Given it was only me, I was able to nab a spot along the counter. Wanting something light, I choose the crumpets and asked super nicely if they'd change the honey to vegemite and the answer was a super friendly of course. Happy girl. My coffee arrived in potentially the biggest cup I'd ever had a long black in, but the size didn't ruin the flavour, and I actually really enjoyed cradling it soaking it all in. I loved my food and when I have a bigger appetite, I'll be back in to try something a little heartier. Going to turn into a popular little spot.

They really tout their bottomless boozy brunch on the weekends but coming from California where you can get that for a relatively good price, the prices were just too rich for me. The menu is really light, healthy and super fresh with unique flavor combinations. They do have a few heavier options like a Holla Burger or a Korean Fried Chicken Burger. I ordered the Saigon Salad and was in heaven. It comes with wild rice, mixed grains, chili, mint, coriander, Vietnamese basil, chickpeas, breaded poached eggs, roasted cashews, fried shallot, angel hair chili and nouc cham dressing. So many ingredients that come together to create a beautiful symphony. The cherry on top was the addition of the smoked ham hock. The depth of flavor was immensely appealing. I ended the meal perfectly with one of their delectably soft and yummy cookies and still dream of that salad!

I came here with a slight hangover and dead excited to try out the Reuben sanga. Had the sads when…read moreI read the menu and that item was by available til 11:30 (we got there bout 10:50). But no matter I went for an eggs Benedict instead, and so did the other half. Heard good things about the coffee here. Unfortunately I am no longer an avid drinker of coffee (thanks juice cleanse) so I just went for an OJ. That was served freshly squeezed in a huge mason jar it was cute. My partner got the latte and from the smell of it it seemed top notch! Also he said it was pretty damn special - so take his word for it guys :) So when hungover, time went by real slow for me. I was content sitting there spacing out and sipping on my OJ. Had I not been hungover though, I would have realized that 35 minutes went by and we didn't have our food yet. During that 35 minutes my partners coffee was long gone and 2 times that a waitresses came over she never offered him another coffee..! One of the waitresses came over extremely apologetic and promised us it was 5 mins away and admittedly they forgot about our order.. Dan was pretty dejected from this moment and wasn't very impressed with the place! They redeemed themselves though! Firstly they offered a second round of drinks on the house, and the food did come within 5 mins (notice that by the time we had our food we were now able to order the Reuben.. Dag nammit!) but the food was deeeeeelicous. It was beautifully presented and eggs were poached to perfection! We left there happy customers! So they had a rocky start, but we enjoyed the place and will come back (most likely after 1130 next time :))
