"Good corner café in a quiet neighborhood near the hospital. I found it expensive, though for pancakes, bacon and small vanilla shake. $31 AUD for what's pictured. Compared to the photo from a month ago, my plate came up short by one pancake. Perhaps I only received 2 pancakes because I had the bacon? However, I can confirm the pancakes were tasty and there was ample bacon."
