Of all the suburbs that come to mind for cafes and brunch, Coorparoo probably wouldn't make the top three list in Brisbane. However it has undeniably been growing and developing well. Last week, we made the quick trip out to Snug, the fairly newly opened Korean inspired cafe along Chatsworth Rd for a catch up. We had purposefully timed it earlier in the morning, but it was completely packed by 9AM.
We found ourselves seated on the long wooden bench overlooking the open kitchen. Best seats in the house. I loved the warm cozy environment, however there were a number of flies in the restaurant, despite it being well into autumn.
Menus were obtained at the counter. Both the food and drink menu was fairly short but well curated with a definite Korean twist. I was actually very keen to try the Omu Rice, but it was too early in the day for me to have such a substantial meal.
Given how busy the venue was, it was expected that food and drink would have taken a while. Our drinks took around 25 mins and it was evident by then that my cappuccino had been sitting on the counter for a little while. Having said that, it was still very warm and for a regular, the size was generous and strong.
Our food came before our drinks. Sitting on the kitchen bench, we were lucky to be able to watch as our meals were prepared.
Queen V had the soup of the day which came with a pretzel. Although the colour of the soup reminded me of mushroom more than anything, it was a miso soup. This was rich and creamy, a lot thicker than miso soups that I am used to, but an interesting rendition nonetheless.
I had an egg drop sandwich being their signature dish. The milk bread was thinner sliced than I had imagined, having seen pictures of very thick cut milk toasts, however the egg was done exceptionally well, scrambled to a perfect consistency. There was also a generous amount of stringy cheese in the sando along with fresh crisp lettuce. For the price, I think it was a very decent sandwich that I wouldn't mind returning for. In summary, we had a good time at Snug, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back which is quite something given the state of the breakfast scene these days.
