We got a recommendation for Little Swallow from my sister, who lives in the area and weren't disappointed. It was very busy when we first got there - we had to sit on stools in the window, but a couple of people soon left so we had a little table to ourselves. We both started off with lattes - a must for a cold morning.
Skinny Latte - $3.50
I really liked the coffee here. Little Swallow uses Romcaffe brand coffee. It had a beautiful flavour, and not too creamy which is a good thing for me. I ended up having a couple of them.
Pikelets with banana, date and walnut compote and mascarpone $12.50
My Mum absolutely loved her Pikelets. She said that the pikelets were beautiful and soft, while the apple had a slight tart taste, while at the same time being sweet. It definitely got rave reviews from her, and she was left feeling full but still wanting more. Surely a sign of a good meal.
Mushrooms, spinach and goats cheese on toast with roasted hazelnuts $13.50
I felt like ordering something different and this combination, especially with the mushrooms and goats cheese really took my fancy. I really enjoyed it too, the cheese was beautiful and creamy, the spinach crisp, the mushrooms had a beautiful flavour and the hazelnuts added a nice crunch to the dish. Plus it was really filling without being too much.

Sounds like you certainly hit the jackpot here; great location, cafe, coffee and food looks divine. We'll have to try it together sometime soon. I think I'd like to try the banana pancakes!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan :) I went there with Andrea for lunch once and that was really nice too (although the service that day was a little impersonal :S)
