Busy and good-natured.
Samela H.

Hipster chic in the 'burbs. This place has 'em queuing, even in miserable weather. It is bigger than it looks, though. There is a "secret" room apart from the main road windowed room. Sunday brunch menu featured absolutely wicked puffy pancakes and some tantalising egg Benedict variations. I plumped for poached eggs with a serve of spinach and hollandaise on the side. I am not sure the sourdough bread was proper sourdough but it was lovely toast, albeit they served only enough butter for one slice but served two slices. I only wanted the one. I was a happy customer. The poached eggs were absolutely perfect and so was the spinach and sauce. It was a perfect brunch. I simply purred. Others in our party had scrambled egg which looked lovely with lots of bacon, pancakes and just toast with smoothie. We all had assorted coffees, noting with amusement that the cafe specialises in exotic coffees but can't spell the names of the countries whence they are sourced. My coffee with an extra shot was superb. It had a very strong chocolate flavor. I think there was chocolate in it. I really liked this little place and I liked the attitude of the staff. But someone really should tell them that they have the world's worst taste in art exhibited on those walls. Oops. I think I just did.

Oh yeah, this place is nice! It's tres funky for a little suburban cafe. We met up with a couple of friends for a late breakfast and a coffee, and they had a very young baby and a young cousin in tow. All the staff were accommodating and friendly, and although its on a main-ish road, the traffic isn't noticeable at all. There are quite a few car parks along the side street and we got one 30 metres from the front door no problem. The food was all good - good size meals, good quality produce and well-timed service. The coffee was smooth and hot, not too creamy, not too bitter. The noise is at an OK level - it is a little noisy because of the solid concrete floor but it fades quickly once you start focussing on other things. Because of our company, we lingered for quite a while but the staff were happy for us to sit and chat as long as we wanted. Even though I don't live in the area, I am looking forward to trying it out again - the lunch menu looks interesting too.

Eggs Benedict

You can tell the worth of a place by the poached egg. The eggs were well worth it! Thanks chef. we had the smashed avo and eggs Benedict. The serving size was large, almost to big to eat in one go so make sure you head there hungry. The best part was the coffee, I had two lattes because it was a decent brew, probably some of the best I've had in Adelaide. The layout is quite trendy with Wooden chairs, and wide Windows. If you have a dog bring him/her along to sit outside and have a drink out of the doggie bowl. The staff were friendly and always there when we wanted to order another coffee. Excellent breaky all round.

I personally think the food is quite average, not much flavor for my liking and the place is not very welcoming in the setup of the shop.

I ordered the big breakfast, which came out quickly and was cooked to perfection.

Just off Magill Road you will find this bright and bubbly café ready to make you a great cup of…read morecoffee. Busy during lunch periods and weekends with the locals, you will need to get here early to get a good spot. The café is not that big, so be sure to take that into consideration depending on the time of the day. All of the tables are lined with butchers paper and crayons are on offer for the kids to draw, while parents enjoy some well earned recharge time. I love that the café collects fun drawings and pops them up on the wall to display! I can imagine that children would love to see their pieces of art on the wall when they return. If you need coffee, you will fine strong and flavoursome beans here. Just what I love! I like a well rounded coffee that picks me up with a kick of caffeine. That is why I always order a strong flat white. And that is exactly what I received. Perfect! After a long morning, coffee always goes well with a treat. Oh yeah, bring on the Dutch Style Brownie. A little drier than most brownies; But I think that is the style. Nice chocolate flavour and really hit the spot. I am told that the brekkie and lunch here are also really good. So I endeavour to return to try that as well. Last thing to point out, the staff are really lovely. Be sure to know that you and your guests will be well looked after.

The new kid on the block is definitely worth a stop. With their 'nothing is too much trouble…read moreattitude', interesting and delicious menu and excellent coffee, the owners are on a winner. They have an all day breakfast, lunch and snacks menu which ranges from a few dollars to around $13 for the bigger meals. Vegetarian & gluten free options available, and they'll happily mix and match if the selection doesn't quite fit your bill. They're currently only closed Monday and open 8-4 Tuesday - Saturday; 9-4 Sunday. It's tiny (maybe 5 tables) with a few spots outside, but well worth putting on your coffee route. Masses of parking around the back, but slow down coming up Magill Road or you'll miss it. Keep an eye out for their big yellow sign and a couple of yellow chairs out the front.

A new cafe in an old corner grocery store has breathed life back into a sad little shop…read more We went there for a Friday morning coffee (opens at 830) and 3 hours later we were still there after our 2nd cups/pots of tea that pour seemingly endless cups (ok..maybe 3). It's advertised as a cooking school, cafe and "stuff" venue, and is starting slowly with openings just Mon - Friday until 4pm, but they have events coming up, and have various cooking opportunites, including classes for kids - so keep up to date on https://www.facebook.com/FiveLittleFigs. The breakfasts that were served looked generous and delicious, and they have gluten, wheat and vegan food on offer and it looks fresh and sumptuous...next time! They cater to children, so if you're worried about young people playing (and crying) - don't come! I see this as a refuge for parents who want to meet their friends while their kids can draw on the chalk board or have something to eat at their own table. Support a new local, or pop out of your way for a quirky, delicious cafe.

I love it here! From the moment we walked in, to when we left, we were made to feel so welcome…read more The owner, Michelle, had placed a reserved sign on a table, however pointed out to us all the available options so we could choose where we wanted to sit. She greeted us personally and gave us a warm welcome. I love the menus! What a novel idea to have them made out of little children's books. Read a little story while waiting - why not? Or just dwell in the reverie that such an item evokes. The atmosphere is fun and friendly with quirky and lovely decor that has been well described in other reviews. Suffice it to say that there is much to look at, enjoy and also purchase. The food was delicious! I love an all day breakfast option and am particularly impressed with the varied bread and non-bread options. e.g. I had a breakfast dish, called 'smashed' which was served on sweetcorn fitters. Delicious non-bread accompaniment to eggs and salmon. My dining companions ordered the pumpkin burger and apparently that was scrumptious. Really healthy too. It looked amazing. Michelle's attention to detail, atmosphere, quality and presentation of food and ability to create warm feelings and fun, make this a great place to come (they also have cooking classes for children and various other activities you can keep abreast of on Facebook).

Their…read more5 stars is a homely laid back grandma's house meets your cool cousin's retro pad kind of 5 stars, perhaps not for everyone, but you won't know until you go. It's not a big place and it's not that flash from the outside but upon entry I was greeted warmly, with a smile, and had my coffee order immediately attended to whilst I perused the large wall menu, large in actual size not choice but I didn't need lots. I opted for a classic egg bacon brioche burger and it ticked all the boxes. The bun remained intact to the very end, the seasoning was just right, the ingredients were delicious, the coffee was awesome, and I left very happy. I almost left with a take away but I had to leave in a rush and the lovely barista was busy with the dishes. Next time.

The staff welcome you as family, the garden is in fact a real, wonderfully garden, and they provide a true soil to plate menu. The herbs used to garnish my dish were picked in front of my from the garden no more than two minutes before my dish was served to me. What a wonderful place to sit for a quiet Saturday morning's work, or to socialise with friends and family. A cubby house is Nestle in the rear of the garden to entertain the little ones and it's perhaps one of the most dog friendly cafes in Adelaide. An absolute hidden gem.

Snot Chocolates, Huntsmans and Scoopalespressos sound like things you would find in Willy Wonka's…read moreChocolate Factory, but Taylor Blend Espresso is a far cry from Wonka's crazy antics and more like a hidden wonderland of coffee and "exotic drinks." Those cheeky Stoneyfellians have been hiding this place from the general public for years and I can see why. This place, despite being of simple fit out and design really has an element of shock and awe to it as you are constantly giggling to yourself about some quirky detail in the place. For example, I swear these guys are telepathic... my soy latte arrived in my hands before I even ordered. I hadn't even paid for my coffee yet and it was sitting in front of me! Not only that but this place caters for the child inside everyone... - Snot Chocolate = Hot Chocolate with yellow and green marshmallows on top (get the picture) - Gelarossa = Frozen Blood Orange juice with lemon gelati - Huntsman = A hyped up version of a "spider" Furthermore their exotic drinks are worth a try just for something different. Although you really aren't being that exotic but having an iced coffee with some chocolate on top (Chino Ghiacciato) you still feel slightly naughty by ordering it. So why the 4 stars, you're raving Chloe, you're raving! I know... I really have to try this place again to be sure but I had a low fat lemon cheese cake that wasn't to die for (it wasn't lemony but more sugary) and I am a bit of a lemon dessert connoisseur!

Taylor Blend has quickly become one of Adelaide's finest coffee shops. Hidden away in the eastern…read moresuburbs, it's location is perfect for a morning get-together or an after work chill-out. Being fortunate enough to live only a couple of streets away, it's become one of my favourite spots out of both convenience and their great coffee. The breakfast/lunch menu is limited to croissants, focaccias and the like; however the desert cabinet is very appetizing, especially the wide selection of macarons in all of their colourful glory. Service is always super quick; I can't think of any instance where I've waited any longer than a minute for my coffee. They also have a selection of coffee/espresso accessories for sale for those of you that take the spirit of the barista home with you. The shop is dog-friendly and has water dishes for your canine counterparts whilst you sip your coffee. With Newland Reserve directly across the road, it's an ideal spot to wind down after taking your dog for a run or spending a day out with the family soaking up the sunshine. J ust keep in mind that being situated in the eastern suburbs means you're probably going to be in the vicinity of a few pretentious housewives now and then, with their dolled-up Chihuahuas included.
