Always love trying out new cafes for brunch and earlier on we were kindly invited to try out the food at Chatty Beans, a fairly new cafe that opened at Kangaroo Point last November. Situated along Baines St opposite the Pineapple Hotel, parking was surprisingly easy during the weekend.
Created by the owners of Raw Specialty Coffee in the Gabba, they were well versed in the art of coffee and are currently running a short menu of classic brunch dishes with a couple of weekly specials. Seating is entirely outdoors, making it a bit of a struggle during the summer months. Prices are very reasonable for brunch given the recent years of inflation.
Service is available at the counter and it didn't take too long for our food and drinks to arrive.
Dr L had his standard iced chocolate. This came with whipped cream and a generous amount of chocolate sauce in a mason jar. I had a large cappuccino with skim milk this was served in a fairly tall mug. Beans came from bear bones and the boldness was definitely distinct and the caffeine hit was exactly what I needed.
This was the big brekky, comprising of avocado, bacon, eggs, spinach, tomatoes and toast. For the price of $21.50 it was definitely a good deal when you consider that other brunch places charge at least mid do late 20s for a big breakfast. Each element was executed well, the eggs were poached with a runny interior. Avocado was ripe and well seasoned whilst the avocado was reasonably browned. The toast was a large generous slice and the tomato was also reasonably charred. All in all a solid rendition of a big breakky. The only thing missing is arguably a hash brown.
Our other dish was an avo toast with scrambled eggs. It was more or less the big breakfast without the bacon and spinach but with a larger portion avocado. To shake things up I asked for the eggs scrambled and these were fairly well done, being smooth and creamy without being too overdone. As with the big breaky, this was a solid effort and executed well. We enjoyed our breakfast at Chatty Beans and definitely look forward to seeing what specials they decide to put out next.
Espresso and Matcha dined as guests of Chatty Beans but as always our opinions are our own.
