It is a Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock when Laura and I arrive at Chubby Cubby Cafe. This matcha cafe is positioned in Haymarket on George Avenue.

Laura has been right here earlier than and I’ve had a drink takeaway as my hairdresser is shut by. Neither of us has eaten in right here nonetheless however there’s a vary of croissants and shokupan Japanese toasts which might be on supply, in addition to a spread of muffins and pies.

There are various drinks to select from, so you should take your time to undergo the a number of completely different menus. There’s sizzling drinks, sizzling coffees, chilly drinks, and chilly coffees. You may watch all them whisking the matcha to order and so they use high quality matcha right here as properly.

Ordering is completed on the counter. My drink alternative is the hojicha coconut water in addition to a extra indulgent Biscoff matcha. The coconut hojicha has hojicha cream on high of a layer of coconut water. I like the sunshine stage of sweetness from the coconut water that mixes properly with the creamy, nutty hojicha foam. The Matcha Biscoff has the signature cream, Biscoff unfold on a matcha latte with a Biscoff cookie on high. It is not as candy because it sounds and I like that the drinks have a refined sweetness to them which is tempered by the matcha or espresso.

The prawn avocado has tobiko and mayo with a poached egg. The filling is scrumptious, and the egg is completely cooked in order that it’s extremely runny and clothes the toast. The toast is a bit too huge for the quantity of filling, so the highest third of the toast is kind of dry and the toast is unbuttered.

Equally, the miso mushroom toast is scrumptious and the miso mushrooms are completely moreish, however there merely isn’t sufficient of them for the toast. The toast simply must be buttered in any other case.

The bacon, egg, and croissant with loads of hollandaise is an instance of actually good ratios. It has the right quantity of sauce to the croissant, to the beneficiant quantity of bacon. And for $17, that may be a nice worth for breakfast. Out of the three choices, it actually delivers greater than the shokupan toasts.

I am barely obsessed by the Banoffee Pie at June’s Khaoyai in Ratchasima and right here they do their very own model (I did my own Bannoffee Pie as I cherished it a lot). There’s matcha custard, caramel sauce, bananas and a thick layer of whipped cream and matcha mud on high of a biscuit crust. It is completely scrumptious, though I feel I might most likely even want simply traditional banoffee as an alternative of a matcha banoffee. Nonetheless, not a crumb goes again.

So inform me Expensive Reader, what’s your espresso or tea drink that you simply all the time order?
