Pieno

Great location and lovely courtyard, the staff were friendly and service was reasonably quick. I enjoyed my iced latte though it was quite small. The egg and bacon roll was acceptable, the egg itself was well cooked and the bacon good quality, overall though it was quite dry and the bread was pretty tough. The sweet potato hash brown was awful though, it was mushy and honestly did not taste right, like it had just been defrosted, I didn't finish it.

Great menu selection - Italian inspired. Very good coffee as well. Service a bit hit and miss. We waited for a while without getting any menus. When we asked for menus and water we still had to wait another 15 minutes. It was busy but still seemed pretty long given people come to eat there. Portions were generous and the food really good. I had the veggie breakfast and struggled to finish. Also great for people watching Wirt the Winery right next door and people arriving in all sorts of outfits… prices are not cheap but you get your money’s worth of food.

It was a bit disappointing. I know prices have gone up (fair enough) but $26 for a full veggie brekkie seemed a bit much. My mate had recommended it and said how good it was (he was there with me). First, we had a ‘large’ coffee which was a little bit of a surprise as it was pretty damn small. Then the food arrived and there wasn’t a lot of it. The mushrooms seemed out of a can and there was a chunk of bacon in it too - not what I wanted being vegetarian. The toast was cold, no butter with it and the plate had a lot of water on it from partially-drained spinach. The poached eggs were done well though and the service was pretty decent. It didn’t make up for the rest of it though - you can get much better elsewhere, and not too far away. Needs to do better.

Stopped in here for a quick coffee before an appointment and was impressed with the service and coffee. Very friendly staff who greeted us on arrival and were super helpful with our order. The coffee was delicious! Correct temperature, taste and strength!! I would love to come back and try some of their breakfast options as everything looked nice on the menu and the reviews seem positive.

Went here just before midday and My partner ordered griddle cakes and I got eggs Benedict. The griddle cakes were fine, until small pieces of sharp plastic started appearing with each mouthful. The eggs were absolutely stone cold upon arrival, so I asked if they could please heat them in a microwave. Kindly, they cooked a whole new dish, to which they added the same straight-out-of-the-fridge bearnaise sauce to. Honestly, it was like just above frozen. Although informed about the plastic they still charged for it. I couldn't be bothered haggling with what appeared to be a very indifferent manager.
