When? Friday March 1, 2024
Who? Me
Food Style? Brunch
I don’t know how I heard about this place but it sounds like a ton of other people found it too and there’s a long line outside Bakers and Roasters. I do know that it’s run by some Kiwis who have a classic Kiwi Brekkie on the menu, and I’ve heard they have L&P available occasionally. It’s located a few minutes away from Riksmuseum, and on a cold day like this, I’d love nothing more than a hot meal and drink, especially if I can support some fellow expats. I’m hoping single diner privilege will pull through for me, even if it means a seat at the bar.
I've registered myself with their online queuing system and take a seat outside. It takes about 15 minutes, but my name is called and plop myself on a table near the entrance. It’s colder than I’m expecting inside, but a hot HoneyBush feijoa tea is sure to warm me up. The flavour is subtle but it’s there. A spot of honey helps to bring out that familiar floral, zesty flavour that I know and love.
Mains
Kiwi Brekkie: two free ranged eggs poached, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, garlicky spinach, creamy mushrooms, homemade tomato relish and hot buttered toast
I realise that I forgot to ask for no mushrooms. Oh well. Everything else is excellent, eggs poached perfectly, the homemade relish has a nice sweet and sour taste to it, and the bacon and sausage providing the saltiness to the dish. Satisfying and warming.
As I visit the restroom, I see some familiar te reo words: wharepaku (toilet), tane (man) and wahine (woman). Ka Pai!
