Shucked Coffee House | 9 Creswell Street, NEWSTEAD QLD 4006
I
can't remember the last time the other travel bunnie and I went out
for breakfast without having to actually look up my blog to
refresh my memory. It's been just over four weeks since minibun
George joined this family and I had been hesitant to take him out for
food in fear that he would cry non-stop at the restaurant and
therefore draw unnecessary attention to two nervous first-time
parents; being the other travel bunnie and I.
So
when I saw the invitation to try out the new winter menu at Shucked
Coffee House created by their newly appointed head chef, Corey
Riches, I interpreted it as a sign that it was about time for the
three of us to venture out for food together for the first time.
The
other travel bunnie and I had been to Shucked Coffee House once
before, and I can't say that it was the experience that I was quite
hoping for. There was nothing wrong with the food, but we happened to
visit around the time that the New York Times
noted the joint as one of the “17 things that you must do in
Brisbane”, and oh my, it was busy.
So
this time around we made sure that we got there early to avoid the
morning rush given that we had a potential cry monster on board.
As it turned out, breakfast was perfect.
We
started the the morning with a latte ($3.50) and a pot of Prana Chai
($4.50) with soy milk. I'm a big lover of chai and take my word for
it, that was the best pot of chai I've ever tasted.
The
new breakfast menu, in my opinion, puts a twist on all the familiar
breakfast favourites. I also have to say that I love
the names of the dishes. We settled for Harry's
Hash ($18)
which comes with sweet potato hash w' bacon, wilted spinach, tomato
relish and poached egg, and Stone
the Crows ($16)
– corn fritters w' guacamole, tomato salsa & sour cream
dressing with a side of bacon ($4). Both dishes were visually
enticing and tasty, not to mention that the egg was poached to
perfection. If I had to fault the dishes, then I would say that I
would’ve preferred the sweet potato hash to be slightly more
crispy, but that's just a personal choice. The other bunnie also
commented that the corn fritters were perfectly crunchy while still
providing a solid base for a light but filling brekkie.
During
the month of July, being Brisbane's Good Food Month, every weekday
you can enjoy a 2 course breakfast with coffee or tea for just $20.
Who wouldn't say no to that?
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $23.50
Disclaimer:
this bunnie was welcomed to Shucked Coffee House as a guest, however
my opinion is as always, my own. The other travel bunnie paid for his
breakfast.
