The CBD is full of places that workers can grab a great coffee and a quick bite to have on the run. However, there is now a rise in restaurants and cafes running a full breakfast service from early in the morning to cater for the business crowd.
Solo diners are fuelling up on a substantial breakfast as are others having morning meetings over eggs on toast rather than Caesar salads or steak.
Tiisch
Hanging vines, windowsill herb gardens and loads of bright natural light make Tiisch both a calming and invigorating place to start your day.
A couple of large central tables can be booked ahead, making them a good choice for team catch-ups. Comfy smaller tables are great for solo dining or meetings of 2-4 people.
The menu leans savoury with plenty of options for vegetarians. Slab bacon or kransky sausage can be added as side to make those vego breakfasts a bit meatier.
Matcha pancakes ($16) served with strawberry, roasted rhubarb, vanilla bean gelato, honey and chamomile syrup is a popular choice for those with a sweet tooth. Avocado toast ($17) with hummus, fresh cheese, preserved lime, herbs, poached egg will leave all other smashed avocado dishes for dead. The suggested addition of a slab of bacon is well worth it.
Coffee is by Dukes with both a single origin and a blend available. Customers can choose from traditional milk coffees, pour over, cold brew, French press and batch brew. Non-coffee drinkers are well looked after with a selection of specialty teas, juices and Kommunity Brew kombucha on offer.
