Poached Winter Fruit M'oaves - SMXL

Poached Winter Fruit M'oaves - SMXL AUD5.90 with tea or coffee

---

Trendy cafe with friendly service, if a little over done.

 

The focus at breakfast seems to be ready made foods that you can grab, along with great smelling espresso coffee with a dedicated counter out front. It's a pity though that with our sore throats, we had to opt for herbal infusions which was a bit on the alternative side with gingko, goji berries and licorice root!

 

The spicy baked bean jaffle was good, but I wasn't really a fan of the spices. Julia though the poached Winter fruit muffin, I mean "m'oaves" which presumably means muffin-loaves, was a tad over-spiced too, but I enjoyed the warm comforting cloves and cinnamon. I guess spices can be quite personal :)
