Wayne:

Dural is such a beautiful and picturesque area, so it makes sense that this café, which sits above a nursery, is a wonderfully cosy escape from city life. There’s a lovely inside area, but it is clear to see why everyone was pretty much choosing to sit on the spacious deck. The coffee was lovely. With a sweet aroma and a beautiful mouth feel, it was easy to drink. It wasn’t bitter and was made perfectly. While I usually like my coffee a little stronger, I had no complaints on this wonderful cup of coffee. The menu made it clear that they mean business, with an ambitious menu that they pull off to perfection. The rosewater milkshake was divine and not as sweet as I was worried it would be. Plus, it looks like a piece of art, pop art to be exact. I loved my banana bread with ricotta, pear and ordered the bacon to go with it. The salty and sweet taste was weirdly divine. Service was great, though the kitchen were a tad slow (but not overly). It's the kind of cafe where you can just chill with friends and have an amazing time with great food. Highly recommended.

This one was fun! I always love heading out to Dural, as I feel I am miles from home with only a short drive. And this café certainly did not let me down. Set in a nursery, it was a peaceful haven, with warm and welcoming staff and a chic but rustic décor. Our coffee came first, and it was delicious; smooth and easy, which is not always the case for the beloved long black. And the food ….. the food!!! First of all, I had heard they were famous for their rosewater milkshake, and being a massive fan of all things rosewater, I was excited, if not a little concerned of the thought of it in a milkshake, but ooohhh myyy! Served with Persian fairy floss on top, it was as scrumptious as it was pretty. My love affair with all things rosewater hit a new level. I ordered the Shakshuka, which I love to make at home (and okay, I admit I make for dinner and not breakfast), but this version took it to a height mine has never reached. The rich tomato rendezvousing with dates and lemon infused yoghurt made it heaven. My super ravenous sons, aged 8 and 10, who were in tow this time, enjoyed their Lime and Mango French Toast (yum) and their super generous Bacon and Avocado stack with Halloumi. I highly recommend the little trip to Dural to this little café with gorgeous food and a bonus little gift shop to browse with a full tummy.
