I had the best coffee in the airport yesterday!...Said no one ever…read more.. But thanks to Andrew P on Yelp and his recommendation for the coffee at Icons I have defied all travel conventions and actually found a delightful coffee shop in an airport. I always thought of Icons as the place to get that last minute true blue SA gift for a friend or family member landing in Adelaide or at the other end of your journey. What better way to convince others that Adelaide isn't that bad by bribing them with Haighs, Fruchocs, Maggie Beer sauces and SA wine packs right? They certainly make the most of monopoly here though and I've always spent a fair bit of money here on gifts that I've never really noticed the cafe and coffee here until now... It was one rainy day in Adelaide, I was heading to Brisbane and had this place on my list to try to compare with Cibo (which I have always thought was the best of all evils available if you are in need for a non-alcoholic pick-me up in the airport). So what does one do when excitedly waiting to try airport coffee? Get to the airport an extra hour early to give this place a try of course! Well it lived up to the hype and my $3.90 Campos coffee was strong, hot and and didn't taste like a MYO pod blend or a burnt mess in a cup. Bravo Icons for not just being a great gift shop but also for being the best coffee shop in the airport now too!

Icons is a refreshing change from your standard tourist trap retail offering at Airports…read more I may be biased because I love and am very passionate about SA produce, but I love that everything here is SA made. You can sample a few of the smaller boutique breweries beers here. All around $8 a bottle which isn't a ridiculous mark up. They also have a huge selection of SA wines, Udder Delights Cheeses and Scala Bread. A winning trio for a delayed flight. They also have Campos coffee, friands, muffins and banana bread( only $5, toasted and with butter, slightly sweet though)! And if you forgot a present from home or have a soft spot for Haighs, they got you covered there too! Stop in and drink and wait at Icons, it's worth it. (That's what I would say if I was their slogan)

Come early if you plan to eat here at lunch time. The word is out and people flock to Bambi's for…read moreplates of piled up salad and nutritious food to get them through the day. While at first glance it may appear that this is a vegetarian/vegan cafe, you can get chicken, eggs and haloumi added to dishes so don't fear bringing your meat-o-saur friends with you. I had the daily salad plate and added in haloumi thinking that I'd need something a bit more that roughage. I shouldn't have worried though as the salad itself was generous and filling with a good mix of green, grains and carbs. Simple, yet delicious, the haloumi was very salty (I assume it wasn't rinsed) and actually didn't add anything to the salad. I should have gone without as I certainly wasn't hungry after polishing off the entire plate of salad. If you fancy just popping in for morning or afternoon tea, get stuck in to the juices or the cherry iced tea. Tea fiends will love that their brew it is served either in a mug or in a pot, depending on how much tea they're in the mood for.

Whether you're popping by for a quick, quiet meeting upstairs over a De Groot coffee with Bonsoy or sharing a communal table for lunch of a soft haloumi and tzatziki wrap in a fluffy, fresh lepina with 3 mixed bean and seasonal salads this cosy little hipster cafe is worth a visit. Ask the staff to make up a juice of the day for you to take away after your meal for a perfect pick me up. My favourite they have made so far is the watermelon, orange and mint on a hot summers day! Meals are huge and very well priced, leaving you stuffed but not feeling guilty because you've probably just consumed double the serving of fruit and veg you required in the one meal. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're in a rush, but I would highly recommend taking a meeting, a special brekky with a friend or a group and sit back and relax gazing out onto Rymill Park for the morning/afternoon.

It matches very well with the Rustic Loaves and Baguettes. There is a street side cabinet full of premade baguettes, cakes and hot pastries that temp the eyes and noses as you walk past, then add a dash of coffee aromas MMMMM. I chose a made to order BBQ Pork Baguette. Well.. just the bread OH MY so tasty, earthy, some of the best I've tasted. the fillings were fresh and tasty (pork, brie, lettuce mustard) well worth the price. Along with that I had a very pleasant cup of Flat White.. Especially with the warmer weather coming, I can see me eating more stuff from Taste...

I have given them five stars for their outstanding, friendly and keen service - even though that day they were just trying to get their name out by giving their goods away for free. Thats Right - I had a coffee and an apricot pastry (my god it was amazing) and a delicious brownie, FOR FREE. What a bunch of champs. I'm assuming it isn't free anymore - but who knows? I haven't been in Rundle street for a couple of weeks. From what I tasted, the coffee was great and the food was delicious. The decor is new and funky. The staff were really friendly, smiley and eager to please. Has great potential but as I said, I haven't been here since they have started charging for food, so I'm not sure about price etc. With so many restaurants, this is a great new option for lunch/coffee in the East End!!

Serving flat Prosecco? Taking over an hour and a half to serve cold food? Why did I have to ask the server to come over and clean the table? This restaurant is buying Google reviews! No way they are nearly 5 stars! There were so many things wrong with this place. I don't understand why it's still open, and the place was nearly packed. I assume the patrons didn't know they would be waiting over an hour for their food. Oh! And the bathroom?! Filthy! You can tell a lot by an establishment by how they keep their bathroom, and the bathroom was directly next to the dirty dishes pile up. I don't know about you, but I want nothing to do with a restaurant that has dishes, clean or dirty, near the toilet!! Yuk!! Avoid this place if you want good food, good service, and don't want to get sick!

No matter how wonderful the gallery, museum or architecture, there are forces at play that keep our endurance capped. What a better way to refresh and refuel than here! A beautiful setting. I particularly love being able to sit outside and take in the nearby architecture and the fresh air. I found the service today to be exceptional, even if our waitress was a weeny bit enthusiastic on the upselling and unsolicited suggestions. I feel the menu has a lot of variety and some gorgeous local produce, such as Paris Creek cheese and Haighs dessert. The local olives are marinated in house. The juice I enjoyed was carrot, orange and beetroot, which gave me the boost I needed. We ordered a large (and yes it was) bowl of chips with mayonnaise and that also was a well needed energy boost. The chips were crisp and fluffy, cooked beautifully and the mayonnaise was creamy and tasty. I like the paper tablecloth overlays that are available for drawing on. After being inspired by the art, having a little draw whilst refuelling is a fabulous option!

I don't get the staff chambray shirts, but that might be because I wore them in the 80s. The breakfast menu is simple, interesting and extensive, from $3 raisin bread to $16 Shanghai eggs. It has a building block of extras, so you can start with a simple toast with butter and add crushed avocado, roasted tomatoes and Sicilian beans for a few $ per extra. With a backyard for a run around, the under 10s also have their own (sensibly priced) menu. This includes a crustless panfried cheese sandwich - they know their kids. And yes they have brekky bevvies, including the heart pumping bloody mary, bucks fizz, and Campari with blood orange. We had some child free Mums near us who were making the most of their day by starting with a couple of marmalade martinis (Tanqueray gin, Cointreau,marmalade, fresh lemon). Bam. A beautiful start to the day, and one that will keep you firing until dinner.

A large Venue decorated in modern decor, and some space outdoors for groups. Love the booths in the far back corner. The staff are super friendly here. As soon as you walk in you are greeted and seated. At all times you feel welcomed and you know that you will be looked after. I love a all day breakfast menu. I saw a picture of the gin cured trout and knew that was what I had to order before I arrived. It was just so pretty! I was right, it was almost to pretty to eat. I couldn't bare digging into it without taking a few snaps. The trout was cured well. I feel like it could have been cured a little longer to have a deeper flavour. Maybe more salt and sugar was needed. But, that does not mean that it was not tasty! It was really lovely. The egg was poached well, crème fraîche was a great edition and lifted the dish. An added surprise was the sea greens. I really loved them. I think that not many people are used to them, but they are really tasty. The carrots were nice, but felt a little out of place. I think what the dish needed was a sauce. The crème fraîche was great, but something with a deeper flavour or seasoning. The rest of the menu looked great! I look forward to test more items. In fact, be sure to try out the coffee. I think we may have another great coffee destination in Adelaide. They offer a couple of filter options and cold drip. I am looking forward to watch how this business develops!
