Okay listen I have to be honest here, this place when it first opened wasn’t the best the food in my regular big breakfast wasn’t the best, I had a situation in the past when I received a bad donut from the bunch but after trying today seeing a change of chef and great staff coordination.
Anyway today I had XS Espresso's Big Breakfast, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight from start to finish! If you're searching for a substantial and scrumptious breakfast that hits all the right notes, this is the place to be. Upon entering XS Espresso, the inviting ambiance and friendly staff immediately set the tone for a memorable dining experience. The menu offered a wide array of options, but my eyes were immediately drawn to the Big Breakfast, and boy, am I glad I chose it! For $28, the Big Breakfast left me feeling completely satisfied and fueled for the day ahead. The combination of flavors and generous portions truly impressed me. Here's a breakdown of what the Big Breakfast had to offer:
Guacamole: The creamy and flavorful guacamole was a fantastic addition, adding a touch of freshness to the dish. Toast: Two perfectly toasted slices of bread accompanied the meal, providing a satisfying crunch and a base for all the other components. Eggs: The option to have two eggs cooked your way was a definite highlight. I opted for poached eggs, and they were cooked to perfection. The golden yolk oozed out, complementing the other ingredients wonderfully. Hash Browns: The two hash browns were crispy on the outside and delightfully fluffy on the inside. They were a delicious addition to the plate. Waffle Fries: Who would have thought waffle fries would make an appearance at breakfast? XS Espresso did, and they were an absolute treat! Crispy and seasoned to perfection, they added a unique twist to the traditional breakfast spread. Ranch: The tangy ranch dressing provided a lovely zing that enhanced the overall flavors of the meal. Sausage (Beef) and Turkey Bacon: The inclusion of a juicy sausage and flavorful turkey bacon brought a savory element to the dish. Both were cooked to perfection and packed with deliciousness. Spinach: The presence of fresh spinach added a touch of vibrancy to the plate while providing a healthy element to balance out the heartier components. The presentation of the Big Breakfast was visually appealing, and each ingredient was cooked with care, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors in every bite. The portion size was generous, guaranteeing that you won't leave XS Espresso with an empty stomach. To top it all off, the attentive and friendly staff at XS Espresso contributed to the overall positive experience. Their warm hospitality and prompt service added an extra layer of satisfaction to my visit. XS Espresso has truly created a breakfast masterpiece with their Big Breakfast. Whether you're seeking a hearty meal to kickstart your day or simply want to indulge in a breakfast feast, this dish is an absolute winner. I highly recommend XS Espresso for their exceptional menu, inviting atmosphere, and impeccable service. It's a breakfast experience you won't...
Read moreOne of the worst meals and hospitality experiences i can remember. We ordered a Burger for lunch. I note the place was full, and the vast majority of customers had desserts, sweets and coffee's. We ordered burgers and orange juice for lunch. The burger patty was not 100% beef. It was more life a fried meatball patty. It was way overcooked and very dry and not appealing. The Burger came with bacon. It was a purplish color, and very chewy. The Burger was topped with 2 potato scallops or small hash brown wannabees. They were very saturated with oil and over cooked. The chips were also overcooked, and oily. We both ordered the orange juice. One was a little more than aerated froth, and mine was very tart and unripened in flavour. The staff approached us and asked about the service, we informed them about the juices to which the response was, "well it is not orange season". The cafe does not have printed menus. I was there two elderly friends. They did not want us to use the one printed copy they held at the counter, but insisted we use or phones via a QR reader app. They repeatedly asked us to do this despite our requests to see a printed menu. All in all, the food was amongst the worst I have ever had. The juice terrible, service at minimum standard. Yet the cafe was full of others ordering desserts and coffee. I will give this place a...
Read moreI usually don’t leave a review, but today’s IFTAR special was a bit disappointing, mostly because we did not even receive our food. (service however was nice)
We made a reservation for two at 5:30pm, Iftar was at 5:45pm. The set menu worth $65 included unlimited entrees, a main and a dessert. We were two people.
We waited for our 2 mains for more than an hour. Mind you it’s an Iftar menu which meant we were fasting all day.
We were the ONLY table remaining waiting for our food, around 7pm we just got tired and decided to get our refund and leave. (P.S we were not the last one to order)
NOTE: The waitress who served us was very nice and seemed concerned, so no complaints on personal service. We were offered takeaway but by then it was too late. UPDATE: the owner called us after and personally apologised, and we highly appreciate it!
We recommend given you have begun an IFTAR special, please focus on ensuring every table gets their MAIN MEALS as customers are waiting to simply break their fast and eat. Then focus on delivering the remaining dessert to each table.
Thank you for the refund and...
