Michael has repeatedly together with confusingly referred to Hungry Birds every bit 'that NBN cafe'. Indeed it's Australia's outset cafe alongside gratuitous high-speed wi-fi. I fearfulness that their narrow tables together with fine nutrient volition endure the leave of absence of Brunswick's MacBook keyboards.

Narrow tables are in all probability a necessity when setting upwards store inward picayune to a greater extent than than a driveway. Hungry Birds' pocket-sized adjoining kitchen cooks upwards Mexico-inspired breakfasts together with lunches together with keeps muffins on the windowsill. There's lots of beans together with eggs together with toast (though coeliacs tin swap the latter for tortillas). Nothing appears straight-up vegan but nosotros consider a brace items, such every bit the pinto beans together with the dark edible bean ciabatta, mightiness endure exist adaptable on request.

It was hot together with nosotros needed beverages. Thankfully Hungry Birds gives them every bit much carte infinite every bit the food. Michael appreciated Pru's Deluxe ($5), 2 java shots frothed upwards alongside icecream together with milk.

I went for the taller juicier Jamaica ($5), a sweetness together with slightly herbal hibiscus cordial garnished alongside mint, lime together with lots of ice.

Michael descended upon the pinto beans ($9.50) together with fried egg ($3) alongside hot sauce together with a hearty appetite. The tortilla strips together with rich crema were specially squeamish touches.

My Remolacha ($12.50) redefined the salad sandwich, teaming Aussie staples beetroot, lettuce together with love apple tree alongside avocado, horseradish together with thick slices of Gouda.

Hungry Birds is a cute, understated add-on to the inner N brunch scene. Their affection for wheel space, beans together with cool beverages has us feeling fond of them too.

Accessibility: This cafe is pretty much gear upwards inward a drive-way hence it's a reasonably smoothen together with broad entry. Tables toward the front end are highly accessible (but also highly exposed to the weather); silent tables are denser together with the walkway is to a greater extent than fraught towards the dorsum seats together with the kitchen. We ordered at the tabular array together with paid at a high counter towards the back. We didn't catch toilets, presumably they are located within the adjoining fine art gallery.
