Offering a heap of dining options, this corner cafe just off Chapel and Greville St was bustling at 2pm. After a short wait, we were seated near the window, with plenty of newspapers to keep us entertained.

The hot chocolate ($4) was huge and chocolatey, but pretty sweet. Coffee was pretty bitter.

Breakfast is served to 4pm so we ordered the House Frau Omelette with sausage, salami, cheese, onion & mushrooms ($16.50), add a side of hash browns ($3.50) and the French Fruit Toast with mascarpone cream, bananas, strawberries & maple syrup ($16).

The former came without the hash brown (but since I was full from the hot chocolate I didn't bother asking the waitress for it). It also came really spongy and tough, despite us telling the waitress to keep it runny and not overcook it - she even wrote it down! Must have been like 4 eggs inside this ginormous omelette, which had decent ingredients.

The French Fruit Toast was ingenious, but fully soaked with egg hence really dense. It also caused it to be really soggy... but that may be due to the copious amounts of maple syrup the toast was swimming in. Fruits were delicious, but far too little to be actually promised in the description.

When we went to pay, they charged for the hash brown but took it off without fuss when we told them it never appeared.

Not too sure what all the crowds were for, in my opinion it's not worth going back to at those prices!
