In a Pickle, Martha St, Camp Hill

The Situation: Saturday morning. Grumbling stomachs. Needed a good coffee to rise above the wet weather that had been around all week.

After sampling one of their yummy cakes on the counter, it once again left us trying to decide whether its really so naughty to have dessert for breakfast. The food on the menu was temptation enough though. Pancakes, potatoes, poached eggs…oh my! In a Pickle never disappoints...

Ordered:

• Avocado and Mushrooms on Turkish Bread; - special request - mushrooms cooked in pesto butter / flat white
• Grilled herbed polenta; served with spinach, poached eggs and a chili relish / Skinny Hot Chocolate

Total Cost - $31.00

Service - 8.5 out of 10
Atmosphere - 6.5 out of 10
Food - 7 out of 10
Value - 9 out of 10

Verdict: 7 out of 10…its all about the sauces and the pesto butter here…although I'm sure the cakes would have been good too!

Sassafras Cafe - Latrobe Tce, Paddington

The Situation: One of us was in need of some hibernation inducing goodness and one was in need of some fuel to later embark on a Sunday afternoon shopping trip.

Although we were initially tempted by the copious amounts of delicacies glowing with goodness behind the counter, we obediently chose some breakfast fodder in order to adequately assess this eatery...

Ordered:

• Chili Corn Cakes; with hummus, spinach, crispy bacon & tomato relish / Earl Grey Tea
  
• Vegetarian Big Breakfast; scrambled tofu, toasted turkish bread, relish, avocado, grilled tomato, grilled haloumi, housemade baked beans & mushrooms / Skinny Chai Latte
  

Total Cost - $41.00

Service - 8 out of 10

Atmosphere - 9 out of 10

Food - 8 out of 10

Value - 8 out of 10

Verdict: 8 out of 10 and the scrambled tofu was deeeelicious!
