From Steam Junkies to Addict - I'm non certain I tending for cafes naming themselves after compulsions but it seems I'll eat their brunch. Addict has the typical trappings of an inner due north cafe - a communal tabular array as well as drib lights, longnecks for H2O pitchers as well as a pocket-size queue. Luckily for us, the 10 infinitesimal aspect estimated yesteryear the waiter was to a greater extent than similar 2. It was barely plenty fourth dimension to stare hungrily at the doughnut display earlier nosotros were seated at a sunny window bench.
The Addict carte has abundant Vs as well as GFs, but doesn't offering much inward the agency of data or eating for vegans. The kokosnoot & lychee porridge as well as the citrus-spiked chia pudding mightiness exceed muster, but conferring amongst staff would definitely endure needed. By contrast, the vegetarian options are varied as well as accept upwardly one-half the menu, from buttermilk pancakes to corn fritters as well as a mega Go Green breakfast.
The Chai Boy Latte's ($4.50) paraphernalia took upwardly most of my tabular array space. For all its name-dropping as well as bench-hogging it wasn't all that memorable, mildly spiced as well as only briefly steeped.
The nutrient was a long fourth dimension coming - fifty-fifty slowpoke Cindy hither had sipped the final of her latte earlier it arrived. Michael ordered the oft-blogged Irish Gaelic patato hash as well as mushroom duxelle amongst roasted champaign mushroom, a poached egg as well as caramelised onion ($18). It was compact as well as rapidly consumed, but really rich as well as dominated yesteryear the mushroom flavours. As I continued eating my meal, I caught Michael staring longingly at the corn fritters left yesteryear a couplet of ladies farther along the bench.
Although our friend Will had especially recommended the pancakes, I passed over them for a blackboard special of cinnamon dusted brioche French toast, appointment as well as peanut puree, caramel banana, vanilla mascarpone, sugariness as well as salty nuts, as well as maple syrup ($17). I was served a whole lot to a greater extent than fried as well as sugar-rolled brunchtime bang-for-my-buck than Michael was! The brioche was only lightly battered, as well as dusted to resemble cinnamon doughnuts, the bananas were nearly collapsed nether their caramelisation, as well as the garnished macadamias were deeply toasted. It was spectacularly over the top, as well as I ate it all.
Michael should non get got been surprised that I could create produce only a cursory gustation of the doughnut nosotros ordered afterwards. It was all Krispy Kreme puff, without cakiness as well as (to my disappointment) without whatsoever tanginess to its berry-tinted icing.
The staff were friendly as well as capable but at that topographic point seemed also few of them; nosotros were left waiting for long periods to guild as well as have food. What the Addict kitchen made was very, really practiced - fancy but well-composed, a smidge pretentious all the same ultimately satisfying.
