Lovely breakfast place. A nice ambiance. The toasted cheese scone was very delicious. The coffee is a bit too strong for me. A very friendly service. Great experience.

With it being 12:30pm on a rainy Saturday, I was blown away by how well staff managed the influx customers. The business of this cafe is hands down a reflection of the quality of their service. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table for two (understandable for that time of day) and was immediately greeted enthusiastically, welcomed and brought water by a staff member. She swiftly took our order, and our food was with us in less than 10 minutes. I had seen on social media that all mocha's come with a complementary Whittakers sante bar, so obviously we got that. The concept of stirring the chocolate into the mocha and allowing it to melt was enjoyable, however the coffee itself wasn't quite hot enough. In hindsight, maybe we should have requested for it to be 'extra hot', however I believe this was just a one-off from the baristas as it was incredibly busy - I am certain their coffee would be delightful at a quieter point in the day (definitely an excuse to come back!) May I add, it was only $6.50 for the decently sized mocha alongside the sante bar and two marshmallows. A bargain if you ask me. As for the food, I ordered the seed and nut granola which was absolutely loaded with greek yoghurt, a sweet berry compote and goji berries. Milk on the side was also available. I really enjoyed this meal. It was presented beautifully, and there was the perfect ratio of granola to yoghurt. For $16, it was definitely well worth it. We also ordered the breakfast crumpets which came alongside a black dorris plum compote and cinnamon mascarpone. Within seconds, the crumpets were no where to be seen! They were so fluffy and light, and hands-down 100x better than store-brought crumpets. The flavours of the compote and mascarpone contrasted each other perfectly. I especially loved the mascarpone and will need a tub at home! The only negative of this meal was the presentation. Other people around us had ordered crumpets, which were displayed pristinely, however mine was sort of just a few crumpets soaked in moat of compote juice. Not sure what happened here, but no disregard to the chefs whatsoever. Its not about the looks, it's what's on the inside that counts, right? Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at L'affare and will definitely return on a weekday when it may be slightly quieter. Awesome work team, keep it up!
