If you find yourself in Menai and are looking for a good local cafè, make sure you check into Steam Brothers cafe. This establishment is located close at the local shopping mall and is serving up some quality food and coffee. Steam Brothers cafe has a clean modern fitout with plenty of seating both indoors and out. Only open 3 months, but they are certainly making a positive impact on the cafe scene.
The menu is diverse with a range of breakfast and lunch options to cater to many diners. Steam Brothers have a range of heathy breakfast options. The green eggs are a great healthy option with a baked egg kale, sicilian olives, mint and fennel salad on a slice of sourdough. The Mushroom bruschetta with a fried egg and parmesan is another quality breakfast option which we really enjoyed.
If you sleep in and are arriving later in the morning or at lunch time, steam brothers do an all day breakfast and there are a number of tasty lunch items too. The Schnitty roll is a lunch time staple in Australia and the Steam Brothers version is at the top of the list. They use of quality ingredients, fresh salad, the schnitty perfectly cooked and a tasty mustard aioli, all served on a soft brioche long roll. One of the best we’ve had.
The burgers also the source of some food envy as they passed the table, but the portions are so generous, we couldn’t eat everything!
Head to Steam Brothers has a good setting to grab a quality coffee and some tasty food. Be sure to pay...
Read moreSo I had ordered a bacon n egg roll n said I would like the egg cooked through n the bacon crispy when the food arrived the bacon was not crispy n the egg was a omelette so I was ok to eat the omelette type egg but sent the roll back for the bacon to be made crispy My family had finished eating their food and 30 minutes later I got my roll and when it was being brought over to me I could see the guy bringing it over looking bit worried as I could as much as he could see that the bacon was black as — bacon was not only burnt and charred it was inedible so what did I do I gave up n ate around it I noticed the guy who brought the roll over to me sneak looks at me but no one including the kitchen made any attempts to apologise I used to love going to Steam Brother menai but after this experience I will not be seen there nor my friends will be told anything...
Read moreNice spot in the middle of the shopping area.
Food was classic Australian brunch food done to a good standard. Nothing that blew me away, but all consistently good, and I'll definitely need to try more of the menu before deciding for sure.
Coffee was very tasty, but sadly latte art was lacking which was a shame.
Interior decor was really nice, and they had a variety of tables sizes to cater for everyone, whether alone, in a couple, or in a group.
There are also a few tables outside which is great. They're essentially in the car park so not much to look at, but they have plenty of room inside so no issue there.
Service was friendly, but could do with being a hit more attentive (got part of our order wrong, didn't tidy one table for the entire time we were there, etc.). Nothing major though, and a nice bunch of people.
Will definitely be back when...
