However, while all that kept me happy, I was not very fond of the food. The family and I ordered the bruschetta, breakfast bagel and I had the shakshuka baked eggs myself which i thought lacked flavour and maybe that's on me because I don't eat capsicum. It was basically baked eggs on tomato soup and roast capsicum. I added salt to enhance the taste and that was fine but it could do the addition of other flavours like spinach, chorizo or bacon. Something on the line of that. Also I felt like there was not enough bread to go with my breakfast but I managed. Mum wasn't too pleased with the bruschetta but my brother had the bagel happily. It was pricey for a small feed though; we ended up buying more food throughout the day. Nonetheless, perhaps the cafe was just not to my liking because it really does have a high review on urbanspoon (91%) so I won't be surprised if it's just me not being in touched with true food quality.
The cafe really is super cute though! The service was efficient, coffee came right away and I squealed at the cuteness of the mason jar serving of the iced chocolate. It's not too packed either and it the environment is really cosy!
As the title states "The Little Mule Cycle Co. & Cafe", the cafe had hanging bicycles, possibly bike parts lying around in collections along shelves too. I didn't get the chance to browse around but they did have a couch in the corner where the displays were, which i thought was pretty cool.
First impression really does matter though, unfortunately I don't think I'll be trying this cafe any time soon, unless really forced by a friend or two who truly believe I've got the wrong impression.
