Boldly standing on the round-a-bout on Days Rd, Grange is Treacle. On a rainy Saturday morning (it seems as if there is no other kind this Spring) we decided to go to Treacle for Breakfast as I had read a review in the Brisbane News stating that it does the best big breakfast around. We decided to take a seat on the verandah and watch the rain trickle down the plastic blinds. Upon opening the menu, I was immediately excited when I read that their coffee was a carefully selected orgainc coffee from Nimbin. I loooove Nimbin so it must be good! I ordered a skinny flat white and my breakfast date, a flat white.
The menu looked sensational. The big breakfast includes two Cumberland Sausages, two eggs of your choice, potato rosti, black pudding, HP and toast! Also listed on the menu is Zesty avocado on sourdough with bacon and halloumi cheese and two poached eggs, Gypsy pocket filled with double smoked ham-off-the-bone and swiss cheese and Porridge with rhubarb and apple compote to name a few of what I thought looked like the stand outs. I, however, could not go past the Ricotta pickelets served with berry roulade and lemon curd, and my boyfriend made his choice in about 3 seconds, going for the Eggs Benedict on organic cornbread and hollidaise with double smoked ham-off-the-bone.
Our coffee came quickly and it tasted good, a little on the weak side but still satifsying. Our brekky came shortly after and was so tasty! My pickelets were really fluffy and home-made looking and were scrumptious. The berry roulade was just the right amount and the lemon curd was devilishly sweet but oh-so-good. Really well presented too. The report on the Eggs Benedict was positive as well. The cornbread was crunchy and yummy and the ham was cut thickly enough that you could taste it's delicious smoky flavour but not too thick like ham steaks, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the sauce was nice too. The hollandaise could have been a little stronger "but that is being picky".
Overall, Treacle served the nicest breakfast I have had out for ages. The staff were friendly, and their service was awesome. The atmosphere is relaxing and homely. There is a pot belly stove inside which would create a warm, cosy surroundings in winter and a cool verandah for spring mornings. I give Treacle a 7.5/10. http://www.treaclecafe.com.au/
