Not sure if this restaurant has had a recent change in management, or an overhaul perhaps, but I'm a little disappointed.
I've been coming here for a while and the bigger breakfast options had great portion sizes. The cost averages around $17-20.
I was a litte shocked today when I ordered something smaller: 2 slices of toast, with smashed avocado and 2 poached eggs with a strong latté. The bill came to a whopping $17! Nevermind, I'm sure I'll get a decently sized meal for the price, it is avocado, after all. Wrong.
What I received was a single slice of toast, cut in half with a faint, thin smearing of avocado.
The eggs, I'll note, were nicely poached and the coffee was good.
You'll see from the picture that the portion size simply doesn't merit the cost. It's frankly insulting.

I can honestly say that I have only ever been satisfied with a meal or beverage, and the service has always been efficient, prompt and friendly. The varied menu and choice of eating indoors or covered alfresco is a bonus as well, and it has a great positive vibe.
I am very surprised to read some negative reviews about the food and service as, at least in my case, I've found both to be excellent...
