Don't judge a book by it's cover......

We have been enduring storm season here in Brisbane and Saturday started grey and drizzling so there was going to be no outdoor activities happening in our house. We decided that we three would all head out for breakfast and so off we went to try out Bungalow in Hawthorne.  I had been there the day before for a coffee and loved it so had thought I'd treat the others to somewhere new. Unfortunately it was FULL and as it was raining the outdoor tables couldn't be used. Sad Face. However, there are plenty of cafes around the area so we kept on driving and ended up trying out Our Haus on Riding Road.
It was raining so we made a dash and once we were under cover I've got to admit that we looked at each other and wondered if it was worth stopping but the rain, well, that decided it really.  We chose a table in the outdoor covered area and discussed just what it is that makes a cafe so inviting because Our Haus just isn't (inviting, that is).  Cute name but nothing about the cafe reflects that at all though there are lots of disparate good bits. Really the space was only as good as the company and thankfully for me Big Red and George make for good breakfast companions.

We really did have a nice surprise when great breakfasts were delivered and decided that you shoudl never judge a book by it's cover.   I had the Sweet Potato Hash cake and it was delicious.  Big Red ordered the Savoury Mince since I refuse to cook it for him - ever! It was a stable meal during my childhood and I hated it then so there is no way I will cook it for my family.  George had the Eggs Benny and declared them to be good. We surprised the waiter by all ordering double shots of coffee in small cups - I think we all needed waking up. Breakfast and the coffees got a thumbs up all round the table for a delicious hearty breakfast.The meals came to the table quickly and the service was good.
Before we headed back to the car, we nipped next door to Cork Leather. My goodness, if you like something a little different and great quality then stop for a look. I've never seen anything like these products which really are all made from cork.  I could gladly have taken home a few of the bags, the boots, and the cutest baby shoes.
