Snow Pony

(14/02/12)

Today back to a local favourite! the pony always busy, always bustling! Having been to this cafe many times, it was good to check in & see if all still as remembered.  

  

Bircher muesli w/ pear + cinnamon compote, honeyed yoghurt    
  ($10.9)

Friendly welcome at the yellow door, lot more female staff, usually predominately male, not that makes a scrap of difference. Seated straight away, coffee ordered, menus in hand ...... mmmm the old favourites  or something different?

Toasted banana bread w/ maple syrup mascarpone, fresh banana,
 berry compote + crushed pistachio      
 ($14.9)

Cant go past the banana bread, it always hits the spot.  

Our other reviewer had the giddy up (variation of a "big breakfast", also a favourite), great sourdough toast - BUT, need to provide knives that can do more than shake the table - not bread/butter knives! A common complaint at many cafes we have eaten at with the exception of the knives at 8 Days in high street Armadale, they are perfect for cutting crunchy sourdough. The coffee is always spot on, but took a little longer than necessary today.

All up though a pleasant brunch experience had, the Cash only policy at Snowpony, Porgie & Mr Jones, Friends of Mine, may catch a few newcomers out.
