Envy Café & Gallery
It’s pram city at Envy Café & Gallery, and as you sit in the leafy green courtyard your mind may turn to contemplating what the world will be like in a decade or so when the current baby bubble bursts. The image of a massive generation of disenfranchised youth taking over the world is broken by the speedy arrival of our Karmee Coffee ($3.00). The coffee is well made and perfectly hot; it also impresses in a tall Iced Coffee ($4.90). Even with a full weekend brunch crowd, the food is equally fast. A large plate of French Toast with bacon, banana and maple syrup should satisfy those with a sweet tooth; while the massive Breakfast Burrito ($16.50), stuffed with bacon, scrambled eggs, a lovely relish and fresh greens then topped with guacamole, will challenge even the starving! On a subsequent visit, the food and coffee remained consistent; and arriving after midday opened up lunch options like an excellent Chicken Quesadilla ($15.00) on delicious flat-bread, served with a caramelised onion and paprika chutney, cucumber salsa, Spanish onion and tomato. Even better, it’s an all-day breakfast menu, so it’s perfect for late sleepers. This is an all round, solid café experience.
