Sometimes we just can't resist revisiting our favourite cafes. Whilst there are many fabulous cafes on Coventry St, it is hard to go past Cafe Sweethearts. Today we combine our visit with a post-brunch stroll to the Gasworks Farmers Market.
We're baaaaaack!
When we wrote our last blog post about Cafe Sweethearts, we were clearly going through our 'porridge phase'. The pugs would've been disappointed, as they are usually so excited to get a subtle slip of bacon or roesti!
please can I have a roesti?! please please please!
pick me! pick me! please & thank you! Whatever it takes!
You may have trouble deciding what to order, not because of lack of variety, but due to the ample, delicious brunch items available. There are pages alone dedicated to eggs. We have also been known to cross town for Sweetheart's herb polenta. Feeling hungry?
My mouth is watering......
mmmm nom nom nom......

Coffee is always superb here, we were originally recommended this cafe for their Genovese coffee way back in 2006. Whilst it has changed owners since then, we are pleased that the standard of coffee is still high and much of the original menu remains. Alongside the coffee, the extensive egg menu is what Cafe Sweethearts is well-known for!

You have got me psyched about dropping by this lovely cafe. Your pooches are too adorable for words. It must be a struggle resisting their cute pug begging faces!!! :-)
