Brunchino

The girls and I decided to visit this place called "Brunchino" in Belmont before driving to Swan Valley for our honey cake fix.

The place is located on Belvidere Street amongst older, run-down buildings where you would not think you would find a cosy little cafe like this.

The decos inside the cafe was simple, sort of a vintage feel.

I was very excited when I saw the list of flavoured latte on the drinks menu - normally coffee shops just serve chai or normal lattes. We ordered a caramel latte, a green tea latte and a white chocolate mocha. The white chocolate mocha was great! Green tea latte was also surprisingly good (we weren't expecting much after the disappointing experience at Tuck Shop). My caramel latte, however, tasted just like any ordinary latte - there is not even the tiniest hint of caramel in it, maybe they forgot?

Caramel latte (Sorry I forgot how much was this)

I was going to have their tandoori chicken burger, but upon placing our orders at the counter, I saw this beautiful burger/sandwich (I thought it looks like a burger, but the lady insisted it is a sandwich, so...) at their display window as decided to give it a try!

Chicken and Avocado Sandwich ($10.50)

The crumbed chicken cutlets (somewhat like katsu) were so succulent and yummy, and the sandwich was generously filled with avocados, yum! One of the best ready-made sandwich I have ever had, and quite cheap too - there are no sides though, but I like mine plain so am not fussed at all :)

Echo ordered the french toast, as usual, and boy, it was delicious. The french toast was not like any other ones we had in Perth... it is hard to put into words, but this reminds us of those soft eggy toasts back home! Maybe this is the asian way of making french toast, and we are certainly loving it. The slightly-sour berries gave the sweet breads a good balance as well, though we had completely forgotten about that cup of homemade coconut yogurt... oops.

Karmun ordred the Brunchino Brekkie, which is pretty much just sauteed mushrooms, spinach, scrambled eggs on sourdough toast. It was nothing particularly special, just something you can make at home.

We ordered the soup from their special menu too - pumpkin soup with sweet potato crisps (I think). It was yummy and warmed our tummy in that chilly, gloomy morning. The only thing that I did not really enjoy was the already soft crisps.

Pumpkin soup ($9.50)

Overall, friendly service, good food and coffee. I think this place would be a hit if they refine their menus a little, but if you are in the area and want a good value brunch spot, definitely give this place a try! (Hint* french toast and green tea latte if you like something more special)
