Breakfast

Cooked breakfast from open until 11:30am, built around eggs, mushrooms and good sourdough.

Price $12 to $28

Takes 8 to 15 min

The breakfast menu is deliberately short so the kitchen can cook all of it properly on a busy Tuesday. Eggs are cracked to order, mushrooms go in a hot pan with thyme and butter rather than steaming in a tray, and the sourdough is cut thick from a loaf baked overnight. There is one large plate for people who skipped dinner and a lot of smaller things for people who only want something to hold the coffee down.

What is included

  • Free range eggs, cracked to order
  • Sourdough cut from a whole loaf, not a pre-sliced pack
  • Gluten free bread and dairy free options across the section
  • Kitchen open from the moment the doors open

How it works

  1. Order at the counter with your table number
  2. Kitchen cooks to order, no bain marie
  3. Coffee timed to land before the food
  4. Plates cleared when you are done, not before

sides such as bacon, halloumi or an extra egg add $4 to $7; the big plate is the top of the range

Questions about this

Breakfast, answered

  • How late is breakfast served?

    Until 11:30am on weekdays and until noon on weekends. Toast, pastries and eggs on sourdough stay available until the kitchen closes at 2:30pm.

  • Do you do gluten free?

    Yes. Gluten free bread is available on any dish that comes on sourdough, toasted in a separate sandwich press with its own tongs.

  • Can I get the mushrooms without dairy?

    Yes. The mushrooms are finished in butter by default and we will cook them in olive oil instead if you tell us when you order.
