Cafe Sweethearts - [Eggs eggs eggs]

Cafe Sweethearts
263 Coventry Street, South Melbourne


Cafe Sweethearts for me is the come-to place if I am craving for perfectly poached eggs covered generously in hollandaise sauce. They offer a wide selection of 'egg dishes', e.g. eggs with salmon, eggs with chilli, eggs benedict, eggs this, eggs that..., but the bottom line is that nothing is more satisfying than watching the egg yolk ooze out. MMMMmmmmm...and Cafe Sweetheart never disappoints in that respect. Coffee is not great (I must confess I am not a coffee person), and the meal portions do vary from time to time.


Eggs Florentine - ~$15.90
Poached eggs with hollandaise sauce, bacon, wilted spinach and sauteed mushrooms.
verdict: one of my favourites! I felt the hollandaise sauce is one of the best I've tasted - it has a great balance between the sourness of the lemon and the saltiness of the butter. The mushrooms are also very juicy and flavourful. Love it.  


Eggs Florentine
Chilli Eggs - ~$15.90
Poached eggs with bacon, and chilli sauce. Great combination of flavours that will kick-start your morning. If you're wondering, the chilli isn't very spicy.


Toast with bacon, mushrooms and poach egg - $10
The sauce-less version of egg florentine with one less egg (costs $5 less than the other ones). I got 2 big rinds of bacon!!!





Conclusion: If you are craving for eggs, Cafe Sweetheart is the way to go. We give it 8/10 for the egg dishes.
