______________________________________________________________________

Having lived in Carnegie for the last 8 years, it is safe to say that I know the area by heart.

I’ve watched business come and go, restaurants rise and fall and the populace triple and soar.

I’m always tinged with slight apprehension when a new cafe or a bakery opens up as I’m never quite sure if they have what it takes.

So when the Boy and I noticed a new cosy cafe open up a couple of months ago, we thought we would do the neighbourhood friendly thing and drop by for a visit on their second weekend of operation.

Not expecting to be blown away as they were fairly new, I did however enjoy our first visit there.

I particularly loved the warm welcome and genuine vibe from the staff and not to mention the decor and cute menu stole my heart.

So it was only appropriate that we returned armed with camera and hungry bellies for our second visit.

Their menu as I said is very cute, with breakfast and lunch options named after animals.

Cakes, sauces, wraps and salads are also on offer with their own respective animal names.

In terms of coffee options, I was delighted to note that they catered for self-professed coffee snobs like myself *grin*  who are part of the ever growing third wave coffee followers (check out my Coffee Hits Guide if you are interested: Part I and Part II).

Split Milk uses Supreme coffee beans and I decided to try their Chemex Coffee ($6.00) on offer. The Boy as usual went with his choice of English Breakfast Tea ($3.50).

On both our visits, I have ordered the Sheep ($10.00)  (Baked free range eggs served in a pan with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and feta with sourdough and chilli jam) which I absolutely adore due to the freshness and simplicity of the dish.

I especially like the sweet chilli jam which cuts through the feta and sun-dried tomatoes beautifully.

On both his visits as well, the Boy has ordered the Donkey ($10.50) (Poached eggs, bacon and spinach on sourdough with spiced capsicum aioli).

It seems that it is aptly named as the Donkey’s spiced capsicum aioli has a “kick” to it. HEE HAW!!!

I love that Carnegie has a new local cafe to go to, to just chill, relax and enjoy some good quality service in comfortable settings.

We’ll definitely be making it one of our local favourites 🙂
