Toast..

When an all day breakfast cafe is down the street from your house sometimes it's not far enough for it to feel as though you are "going out somewhere to have brunch" so I've been putting it off, until the day of On the Bright Side festival, where I figured the best meal is pretty much a brunch (seeing as I woke up at 10:30 and the festival started at 12-ish which meant that we should be there by 2-ish).

So I had a slice of leftover quiche before S arrived and we made our way to Toast (which by the way used to be this little crappy cafe - thank GOD that is gone considering how bad the food/cake/coffee was and now something better is there at a prime location).

The thing I love about Toast is the cute little white wooden garden chairs outside, with white umbrellas, blue and white tables all overlooking the lovely Claisebrook Cove (and there were vintage 1960s red vinyl chairs inside) and the cute little coloured plastic cups and vintage/old glass bottles (which probably was something else before it was cleaned and reused). It was all very school-like.

S Lemon Iced Tea

Cappuccino - weren't enough coffee in it - it was almost watery..

Caramelised Banana Crepes - which was delicious, sweet, buttery and 

the crepes were the right thickness

My healthy option - low GI (which kept me going for the whole entire festival and some more!!)

bircher muesli, traditional swiss style, oats soaked in dairy,
served with rhubarb and raspberry compote, toasted almonds

It was fantastic - it wasn't soggy and tasteless (or some museli ones are like vomit like!) But this was perfect  mix of sour sweet and the almonds just gave it that crunch!

Oh and Toast does take away too! Which was exactly what I did today for my late lunch.

 Corn fritters with avocado, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce

- The Avocado weren't ripe enough and the hollandaise sauce was sour, not enough of the buttery-ness.. I won't be getting the hollandaise anything at the place..

Overall Toast wasn't too bad, it's quirky, quaint and very much like the artsy cafes that seems to be popping up all over Perth at the moment. If it's busy I wouldn't recommend you sitting inside - in fact why sit inside (unless if it's raining), after all the views are excellent outside and it's a lot more roomy.

I think I'll be back and next time I'll try one of the usual suspects - bacon, eggs, mushrooms and toast.
