My Foxy Breakfast Date

Once a week Big Red and I try to go out for breakfast before work.  Its nice to make a date for breakfast and the Foxy Bean Cafe is one of our favorite places to go,  because it opens early and is on the way to work. Situated on the corner  of Potts St. and Stanley St. East just up the road from the Gabba, Foxy Bean Cafe is open for breakfast from 6.00am to 11.30am Monday  - Friday and 6.00am to 2.00pm Saturday & Sunday. They also have other offerings past these times and well into the night from Thursday to Sunday but we haven't been along for the evening experience. 

There are plenty of seating options; high tables, low tables, lounge chairs, outdoor seating undercover and a few outside seats at the front of the cafe. The decor is eclectic with feature painted walls, partially stripped tongue & groove boards, pressed metal on the walls, old leather couches and a strange lopsided birdcage (I forgot to photograph that one).
This week I had the Haloumi Hello; so YUM! The saltiness of the Haloumi, silkiness of the avocado and sweetness of the tomatoes produced a fresh tasting breakfast for me leaving me with a lovely clean palate.  This week Big Red had scrambled eggs with a side of bacon accompanied by a lovely relish. but he often comes here just to have the Bushman's Benny - good old fashioned mince with eggs benny on top. It is a massive breakfast by anyone's standards and sure to leave a hungry bloke full until lunchtime. Service was efficient and our meals arrived quickly.

Coffees arrived first so that we could enjoy while we waited for breakfast. Foxy Bean now serves lactose free milk. Another cafe with the thumbs up from me! The coffee has been consistent here but the flavour is nothing special.

We keep returning to the Foxy Bean, not just because it is open early (though that is a good reason for people who like early starts), but because we always have a really good food experience here. Well done Foxy Bean.
