This morning I visited Swallow Coffee Traders, a quaint and cool little cafe nestled under Rockdale train station, although you'd easily be tricked into thinking you were in Newtown or Surry Hills. It can be hard to find appealing eating spots in the suburbs but when I do, it gives me a whole new appreciation for accessible, good food.
Sans my favourite foodie partner in eating Em today, I took along my five year old neph
ew, Jesse, who kept the friendly staff entertained with his special requests for toasted muesli "but take the nuts out please" and "no yoghurt, just milk!" Of course, our waitress was kind enough to oblidge but who could resist Jesse's charm anyway? It came served with berries, kiwi fruit, sliced apple and perfectly poached pear. Although he was hesitant about the pear at first, it turned out to be his favourite part of the dish (and mine too!).
I enjoyed my simple and fresh sourdough toast with avocado and tomato with a Single Origin soy latte, although my neighbour's fruit bread and jam looked super tempting.
Having enjoyed our chilled brunch in the trendy surrounds of this bite size gem, my favourite part was the bill - a grand total of $14, awesome! If you are ever around the South, be sure to head in to Swallow for a satisfying coffee and brekky experience, for a fraction of the city price you are used to paying. Now that's an easy pill to Swallow.
