Forrest Specialty Coffee — Restaurant in District of Belconnen

This wasn’t your typical avo toast. When it arrived at my table, it genuinely looked like a work of art. The creamy smashed avocado was piled generously on top of a perfectly toasted slice of sourdough, and sitting proudly on top were two beautifully poached eggs. The yolks were just right—soft enough to ooze over the avocado when cut, but not too runny. What really brought it all together was the smoky orange sauce swirled around the plate. It wasn’t just for show—it added this bold, slightly tangy depth that made every bite better than the last.

As much as I loved the food, I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with the coffee. I was dining in, and it wasn’t even close to closing time (I got there around 1:30 PM), but it was served in a takeaway cup.

07/03/23 Service by the barista was absolutely atrocious, no smiles & just not friendly at all. She asked what size would I like & normally ice coffee is just one standard size.

For goodness sake, hire somebody that actually can do their job properly & willing to be present & not act like...

I have been in this Cafe for a couple of times, mostly for breakfast and morning coffee. I am usually a very early morning customer :) and noticed the staff have been very nice at all times. I like their coffee and it really tastes different (I should say, I think it is a bit more expensive than coffee in other cafes in the mall) I tried their Watermelon French Toast today (well, I usually don't have sweet breakfast and I know, this one is more like a dessert, not breakfast, but I wanted to celebrate a personal achievement, so I chose it) ohhh, not only it was garnished and decorated so beautifully, it was so delicious and fresh with the freshness of watermelon compote and all ingredients worked so well together - strongly recommend it if you like experience...
