Toby's Estate

Fridays on weeks I work nights, I get up early - around 11am :), and go for a walk and lunch with my parents. Previously these walks have been around the harbor, but I didn't have my camera then so all you get are this weeks pics, where we walked to Broadway, to get some shopping done :).
On the way we stopped at Toby's Estate on City Rd.
Excellent coffee and good food, pretty shop too, and in keeping with the rest of my blog, I didn't get a pic of the best wall - a wall of coffee.




I ordered a ristretto, just to try it, only to find out when it arrived that it wasn't supposed to have caffeine - I felt a bit betrayed at this, coming off night shift, caffeine was very important. But it was a very nice coffee, and something I will have to remember when avoiding caffeine in the future.
M&D shared a vegetarian toasted sandwich, which tasted really good.


I had been reading blogs about another cafe with boards, and was intrigued, so when I saw the breakfast board on the menu I had to try it.  Bread, boiled egg, ricotta, ham, avocado and tomato.  It was quite nice, I liked the egg, and the ability to make myself  a variety of small different sandwiches and to just eat the various components by themselves.

I am way behind in posting though, so this was three weeks ago, and I can't say the meal or the cafe has really stood out in my memory - although the ristretto and my parents coffee was very good.
