Brunch at Apollo Coffee Bar

We ordered the Chorizo, Eggs & Avo ($20.90) and Breakfast Burger ($17.70) as well as a flat white ($5.40) and a cortado ($4.80).

The service at this hip neighbourhood cafe is commendable. The well trained young service crew members were friendly, cheerful and efficient. Though the place was busy, we were made to feel welcome.

Water was brought to our table almost as soon as we placed our orders. The wait for the food and beverages were fairly short.

The barrista-made coffee was excellent. Apollo’s cortado, made out of one part espresso and one part milk, would be our new favourite beverage

The Chorizo, Eggs & Avo was the staple of eggs on toast levelled up with spicy Spanish sausage and smashed avocado. The chorizo with bits of fatty pork inside was rather spicy. The avocado was creamy and delicious.

The Breakfast Burger was melted cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs, caramelised onions and bacon in between brioche buns, and served with mini hash browns. It was certainly a more interesting way to have your usual ham and egg sandwich. The garlic-infused mayonnaise added a nice kick to the burger.
