Coffee Warehouse Cafe Deli Take 5
OK I said I would update on my progress of eating there, I’m sorry I missed bringing my camera on visits number 3 and 4 hehehe. On visit 3 I had breakfast. I was really disappointed because I was soo excited about trying the breakfast calzone. It was pale and dry, and mostly spinach with not much meat or mushrooms or cheese to speak of, and really small. But I guess I am used to gluttinously huge portions of breakfast, and at only $10, I couldn’t really complain much! On visit 4, I had a gigantic delicious fluffy pillow of jam donut filled with raspberry deliciousness and calories. Coffee was hot. Good, yum. And all this while, eyeing off people eating wood fired pizzas (for breakfast and afternoon tea??). So it was finally my turn. On Saturday night 7pm, I guess the word has spread, because I didn’t book (as I didn’t any other time), and it was full and my companion and I were relegated to a bench counter to eat. Boo Oh well. The food came so quickly and it was SO good!! The wood fired pizza tasted every bit as good as it looked. And not to mention – huge too! And it came so quickly. It’s delivered so dramatically on a wooden pizza paddle and perches on top of a stand. Careful when fighting to grab the first piece, lest the pizza take a topple! I wonder if that’s happened yet We loved the crisp base, the generous tomato base and just the right amount of toppings. The crust had a good bite too. I’m thinking that my trips to Haberfield for good pizza may be limited in future
We also tried the crab linguine, main sized. I thought it could be a bit bigger, but otherwise it was nice – the pasta cooked al dente, fragrant olive oil and not stingy on the crab. It was especially nice with the chilli oil that was offered to us.
I’m please to advise that the cool rooms are now filled with all sorts of goodies now. Great fresh produce – what a colourful display! I was hoping there would be some exotic goodies like heirloom tomatoes but alas they were just mandarins
If you like cheese, this could be heaven for you to be locked up in the cheese room!
Some ready made frozen pastas too. But one thing I did not like in there was some gyoza! Hello! Japanese food in an Italian cafe?? There are ssoooo many Korean shops in Strathfield, I think that one Italian shop could remain pure please
And as predicted, the hooks above the deli counter, now have meats and smallgoods hanging for you to drool over..
