Dandelion & Driftwood in Hendra. This quaint little cafe popped up on Natascha Mirosch's Top Spots for coffee in The Courier Mail's Life so I met the Red Carpet girls there to check it out. (The Red Carpet girls are the PR girls I used to work with at Red Carpet Projects a few years ago. Fun times. Catch up with them when I can).
So...I got there at 9.45am. It was on the other side of town to me, in Hendra, and people were hanging out the front waiting for their coffees from the coffee cart out the front. I went in, and it was packed. The waitress said, "do you have a booking?" A booking? At 9.45am? On a Monday morning? In the suburbs?? I was astounded. It wasn't even in a shopping strip, it was just a main, but random road in the burbs.
I sat at a bar by the window and stalked the other patrons until a few left and I bagsed (is that a real word, or just one from high school?) a few chairs until the girls arrived.
This place takes their coffee seriously. I'm no aficionado, I just know when it tasted good, and while I have no idea what "blend" it was, it was really, really nice.
Lunch was given a fancy schmancy name, but was really just a toasted sandwich and was served with a few chips. Not fries...chips, like Samboy chips. It was a bit bizarre.
But we topped it off with an apple and cinnamon muffin which was divine and blended beautifully with my tea. Love this cute little tea set.
