Cimbalino — Restaurant in Western Australia

We’ve loved this place for years. Today we ordered the kids croissant and babycino special for $9.9 which offered ham & cheese or plain. We ordered the plain croissant. However the ham and cheese arrived. The lady offered the plain croissant on the house. Then she came back and said it was a better deal to purchase the ham & cheese with the babycino and asked to charge the plain croissant. To be honest I didn’t mind paying for the plain croissant but it was the attitude. I said that it wasn’t fair that I had to pay for both items. Then the lady offered nothing more and took away the ham and cheese croissant to the kitchen. It wasn’t the best experience but I would still go back. Just avoid ordering the kids croissant...

I like the variety on the menu and the deli case. I've had the Field of Mushrooms (sauteed mushrooms drizzled with balsamic vinegar on a thick crusty slice of bread) and the Avocado and cheese toastie. Both were fantastic! There is also a small refrigerator that has some other take away items, like pre-made soups. Service is a relaxed pace, so make sure you go when you can take the time to enjoy the environment and your fellow diners. I adore the chef and staff here, they have got a tough job working at one of the busiest cafes on Napoleon street with minimal staffing. I love sitting out on the patio when the weather is mild and the sun is shining. Looking forward to discovering something...

We decided to go to the Cottesloe Cafe strip ( next to the Albion Hotel off Stirling Highway)...

This time we chose Cimbalino, a non-descript Cafe from the front, but which hides a number of delightful alcoves inside ( apart from the seating adjacent to the streetscape).

And what a treat it was!!! My guest enjoyed an avocado toast (which she put in the top 2 of those from her previous outings). While I devoured a corn fritters meal that was first class in the taste League.. I'm still savouring the delicate herbs and juices that gave it such a memorable flavour..

Friendly and prompt service!! delightful interior !! and beautiful food!!! Definitely 5...
