Lazy Daisy's Café

Found a neat little café to meet up with friends for a catch up session.  It’s not in an area that we typically frequent, but it’s nearish our friends and is said to have decent coffee through other reviews.  Lazy Daisy café is a cute, but large family friendly café/coffee house that also serves food.  What caught my eye the most when deciding on coming here versus going elsewhere, is that they’re website says “local, farm fresh, home made food”.  Bonus if you have kids, there’s a play area for little kids with a books and toys for the kids to play with. 

Drink wise, there’s the standard brewed coffee, espresso based drinks, and an assortment of teas.  Food wise, there’s the typical pastries and cookies.  Non typical pastries, home made pop tart!  I was told it was really good, not crazy sweet like the supermarket boxed pop tarts.  Probably less preservatives too!

They also have a mini kitchen that can prep simple breakfasts, like eggs and bacon etc.  For their eggs, they use free run eggs.  I ordered “The Standard”, which comes with two free run eggs, Mennonite smoked bacon, toast with butter and fruit.  It was pretty standard, like the name says, but good.  The hubby ordered the Son of a Rise, free run egg, cheddar, double smoked bacon, avocado, and tomato on a homemade country biscuit.  While it sounds like a standard breakfast sandwich, it was the biscuit which made it stand out.  The biscuit was buttery, light and fluffy.

Coffees, I ordered an almond milk latte, I think the other drink was a cappuccino?  I honestly can’t remember.  My latte was ok, main complaint, not sure if it’s an almond milk vs milk milk thing, are the bubbles.  It seems more hole-y.

This is really a family friendly café.  A bonus is that they believe what I believe, support local.  Need more of these types of cafes in the suburbs…..
