Michael made a cursory search for nearby cafes that powerfulness serve us breakfast on Mon forenoon as well as upwards popped Vintage Espresso at Mermaid Beach. On sight, I could barely believe it: this cafe could accept been airlifted as well as deposited straight from Melbourne's inner north. (More likely, my feel of south-east Queensland is vii years out of appointment as well as such cafes thrive all over Oz.) The interior is vintage through as well as through, from the slice of furniture as well as wallpaper to the crockery as well as copious (but non cluttered) knick knacks. This much orangish as well as brownish commonly strikes me equally dowdy. Maybe it was the white walls, the expert status of their wares or the Gold Coast Sun streaming in, but hither it was positively cheerful.
I was cheered, too, to consider another cafe offering iced chai ($6.50). I am likewise optimistic. This 1 was the sweetest, to the lowest degree spicy version I've encountered yet. Peeps've actually gotta form out out a means to inject around ginger and, I dunno, actual tea into these things. Michael's apartment white offered to a greater extent than satisfaction.
Glutton for penalty (and sugar), I backed it upwards amongst an lodge of banana breadstuff ($5.50). This, I tin recommend - thick as well as gently sweet, amongst a expert stair out of toasty walnuts.
Michael ordered the Spring Harvest ($15), a procession of good poached eggs, roast tomato, mushrooms, polenta bake, spinach as well as pesto - all fresh as well as heartily enjoyed, including the tomato plant (!).
Game for more, he followed upwards amongst a kale, apple, grape as well as cucumber juice ($6.50).
There's enough on offering for vegetarians at Vintage - additionally fruit, muesli, French toast, to a greater extent than eggs as well as avocado mashed amongst feta - but vegan options are less obvious. Gluten-free dishes aren't marked either but are relatively slowly to identify. I liked that the toast bill of fare extended beyond sourdough to fancy fruit, bagels as well as something pumpkin-based. The service was pleasant as well as the kitchen didn't piece of occupation out us waiting likewise long. Vintage Espresso accept clearly pose equally much assist as well as science into their nutrient equally their fit-out.
