Haute Cakes Caffe

Amazing breakfast place. Everything is delish.

BREAKFAST BLISS ! On Sunday we planned to have breakfast here....rain, hail or shine. As it turned out it was raining so no bike ride on the day. Instead we jumped in our car and arrived here just before 8am ( opening time ) to beat the rush. AND WE DID ! As we walked inside we said hi to Cane ( cashier, food runner & pancake chef. FIRST IN LINE ! At the cashier counter Ana the charming cashier ( also barista & food runner ) took our brekkie order...1 x FRESH SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE, 1 x ALL AMERICAN SCRAMBLE ( 2 eggs + bacon + cheddar + avocado + tomato + toast + jam + potatoes ), 1 x PIERRE'S SCRAMBLE ( two eggs +asparagus + caramelized onions + tomatoes + goat cheese + toast + jam + potatoes ) and 2 x LATTES with caramel syrup. We paid up front and were given no 73. I took my chilled glass of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice with me to our table at the back of the indoor dining area. FAST SERVICE ! This was our 4th breakfast visit in less than a month and we never cease to be astounded how quick everything hits the table. Of course the prediction of cyclonic rain had dampened things down a bit on Sunday morning....though it got busier before we left at 8.40am. I could see Ella the barista working on our Lattes so I walked over to the espresso bar to collect them. THEY LOOKED FABULOUS ! I had barely returned to our table with our lattes when bingo....our breakfast dishes arrived courtesy of friendly Miriam the food runner ( also team leader, barista & cashier ). AS GOOD AS IT GETS ! Our well made lattes tasted rich and very satisfying. My wife totally enjoyed her amazing American Scramble. Pierre's Scramble...what can I say...it has everything that makes a great breakfast dish. I LOVED IT ! My fresh squeezed orange juice tasted perfect....to the last drop. WITHOUT A DOUBT ! Haute Cakes Caffe knows how to deliver the perfect breakfast experience !

FEELS LIKE HOME ! We all go out looking for great food and welcoming service. Someone quite famous recently said....we remember how we felt more so than the actual food. SO TRUE ! My wife and I enjoyed a pretty fabulous breakfast here a week ago...first time visit and we left very impressed with everything particularly the friendly service. WE'RE BACK ! On Saturday we decided to have a nice breakfast here to kick start our day. EARLY ! In fact we pulled up outside at 7.50am ( before they opened at 8am ) to beat the rush and nab a table inside. As we walked inside I said hi to a tall male employee named Mario who was arranging items on tables on the outdoor patio. Turns out Mario is one of the chefs. I spotted another gentleman wearing a baseball cap and sipping his take-out coffee..this guy looked familiar and I was right....it was Paul Taddeo the co-owner / founder ( with his wife Tania ). We struck up a lovely conversation...Paul is a warm and genuinely friendly guy. I mentioned how much we enjoyed breakfast on our first visit a few days ago. HARD TO BEAT ! Our expectations this visit were very high given our stellar first time experience. After quickly working out what we wanted we lined up at the cashier counter to place our brekkie order...almost first in line. My wife who loves pancakes wanted the HAUTE COMBINATION ( 2 eggs any style + two buttermilk haute cakes + sausage or bacon or fruit + maple syrup + butter )....my wife asked for crispy bacon while I had decided on PIERRE'S SCRAMBLE ( two eggs + asparagus + caramelized onions + tomatoes + goat cheese + toast + + jam + potatoes ) and a side of crispy bacon. DRINKS ! I had to have a FRESH SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE ( and it is fresh squeezed ) plus we ordered 2 x 12oz LATTES ( they use Common Room Roasters ) with whole milk...no fat free avail and caramel syrup. Vianney the cashier / barista took care of us in a very friendly helpful manner. We paid and we're given no 37 table number. I took my chilled glass of fresh squeezed orange juice to our table. WHOOPEE ! We scored a perfect inside table with a commanding view of all the action. Being here so early we knew that it would get very busy before too long. AND IT DID ! Before we knew it our Lattes were ready.....they looked magnificent. I thanked Miriam the barista when I picked them up. OH YEAH ! Our expertly made creamy lattes tasted rich and very satisfying. As Paul the co-owner said to me earlier....he prefers richer tasting coffees not mild. WOW ! A very pleasant young food runner named Ana brought out our breakfast dishes together....what a mouth watering sight ! TOP OF THE WORLD ! We had everything we could possibly want right in front of us...it doesn't get much better than this. My fresh squeezed orange juice tasted as good as any I've ever had...and I've had them all over the world. THE FOOD ! My wife was in raptures enjoying her pancakes...perfectly made I was told. I couldn't get over the sheer size of my Pierre's Scramble let alone the amazing flavor combo of the fresh ingredients incl scrumptious skillet sweet potatoes....and the yummy side of crispy bacon. Mario the chef came by to make sure we were happy with our meals. OF COURSE ! A smiling young man named Cane ( also cooks the pancakes ) came by to take our empty plates away. It was 8.45am and the place was filling up fast...time to leave. No wonder this thriving eatery has been going for 33 years with friendly service second to none plus amazing food and drinks. Our high expectations were totally exceeded !

Breakfast was so tasty! Portions are huge, we had the American breakfast and the daily special (Brussels sprouts and bacon scramble) and neither of us could finish our meal. The potatoes are perfection and the jelly that comes with the toast makes for the perfect little dessert with breakfast. There was a long line but it moved quickly, and we got our food less than five minutes after sitting down. Outdoor seating was plentiful, with lots of families, children, and dogs. This is a happy place to be on a weekend morning!
