Cafe Florence — Restaurant in Sydney

I ordered the special, the Beef Bowl, a small flat-white coffee, and a slice of carrot cake. The friendly staff efficiently took my order. There is plenty of seating inside the venue, as well as undercover seating outside.

The coffee arrived first, along with the carrot cake, which I saved for after the main. The coffee was nice and hot, well prepared with a smooth and creamy texture.

For Saturday morning breakfast I ordered the light breakfast, which was sadly light in quality. It consisted of a hashbrown, sauteed mushrooms, and admittedly it's hard to go wrong with either of these, but the grilled tomato while still warm was barely grilled at all. The scrambled eggs were satisfactory, but no better than if they were home made. The two slices of toasted turkish bread were okay too, but I must remember to ask for no butter. Some cafes serve butter on the side, but it's become apparent this...
