Eighteen 88

A cute little cafe directly across from the mater, with a trendy warm interior. First off, the cafe is in a very ‘inconvenient’ location in terms of parking. No close street parking we could see, and parking in the next door’s Center carpark is risky as security’s always on the lookout. Perhaps that’s why most of the customers that came were for takeaway. We arrived around 9am and were one of two people seated, and for some reason, the vibe was just awkward. Could have been how quiet the music was or simply because of the lack of people inside - I felt like I had to whisper. There was very few cabinet options, and everything looked like it had been there a while (wrapped up, one item of something etc.) The staff were friendly, and greeted us upon entry. We ordered two coffees, a berry danish and eggs benedict. Coffees were fairly good and reasonably priced, danish was barely warmed but tasty, and the eggs benedict was just average but a generous portion size! Being the only ones ordering food in the cafe, we still waited 20 mins for the meal... but it didn’t bother us too much as we know it was just 1 person in the kitchen. Overall it’s a nice cafe, but the location and vibe turns us against coming back. Would recommend anyone across the road come for takeaway though! :)
