2 Sista’s Cafe

In an area not blessed with many breakfast options this café is understandably popular on the weekends. Unfortunately on the first time I dined, service ambled through with the best of intentions, but without much actual movement toward clearing tables (with people waiting), or warning that the kitchen was a little overwhelmed. Beyond the usual all-day breakfast fare, there are interesting dishes like Foul Emdumous ($12.50), a zingy salad of red kidney beans, tomato, Spanish onion, mint, lemon and olive oil served with grilled chorizo sausages and toasted Turkish bread. A plate-sized thick Banana Pancake ($12.00) was made exotic with coconut cream and palm sugar. On a second visit I tried the Ham Benedict ($14) which was let down by an untoasted (and unbuttered) muffin, and a small slice of gypsy style ham; and the presentation of their light and pleasant Hollandaise sauce was a little like a ‘money shot’. The double shot Affogato ($4.00) made on Café Molinari coffee is good value; and a Banana and Honey Smoothie ($5.70) made with Evia yoghurt didn’t disappoint. All up, I’d have to say this one’s not quite there yet. Now about that apostrophe’
