Little Ashton — Restaurant in Brisbane City

We came on a cold day, so won't blame them for the weather. That is not fair. And in their favour, the veneziano coffee beans and chai went over a treat. But that is where the fairytale ends. Where do I even start? The photos on google that convinced us to pay a visit must have been taken during the golden days of this Cafe. We put our order in of 2 serves of eggs on toast with add ons of haloumi and spinach. After 20 minutes of playing on the oval with our son, I had to go in and ask what the go was because it still wasn't ready. For the life of me, I can't understand why because we were literally the only customers there. Humbly speaking, I could have gone in the back myself and done the cooking of this simple request 5 times over in the time I was on that cricket ground. When it came out, we were stunned. The haloumi had been cooked on one side and served as is, cold. The wilted spinach had been replaced with a bushel of alfalfa sprouts drenched in balsamic vinaigrette. The poached eggs were well done but not the good kind. Also. Cold somehow. And not the scrambled we asked for. Before the chilled plates of semifrozen ingredients got to our table, the server was already profusely apologising for the state of it.

Don't go out for "the usual" on a Saturday or Sunday morning, go here and get something you will remember and talk about - or rather than the food courty slop at Stafford shops, get your shopping done then pop around the corner and have an amazing meal at a reasonable price. When was the last time you were surprised by just how good a meal was, well that was me when I popped in and ordered the big breakfast on Friday, house made bean mix (Amazing) award winning lamb sausage, amazing bacon, great coffee and a reasonable price, I walked away full, surprised at just how good and varied that meal was and very pleased with...

We got the Breakfast Bruschetta and the Big Ashton. Plenty of space at the outdoor venue, good cover from the elements. Got to watch the local football teams play. Food is as delicious as it looks and all of their meals look great.

Coffee was good too and food didn't take very long to come out despite being pretty busy.

Only odd thing was the menu is a little bit random as far as nationality/flavours eg. Okonomiyaki available at the same...
