25ml

Sunday somewhere in the world brunch at 25ml cafe, hobsonville. Words i’d use to describe the location are pleasant, convenient & suburban. Menu is split half western and half asian rendition of western meals.nnSecond coffee of the day so you know we mean business. Oat milk iced latte was delish. I’d have had another but i don’t think the old ticker had the strength for it.nnNo rosti option for the bene : -1nnDecided to go with the gf bread cause i couldn’t see the bog. Chef was an OG for checking if i wanted potatoes but i’m not irish so i passed. Service was timely and warm.nnGandered the nice street view while I waited a reasonable length of time for my food. Drank a bit of my goated coffee before i realised i’d need some left over to get a photo because im now a deplorable insta foodie.nnAnd the bene arrives…nnPresentation was a solid 8.5 / 10. Couldn’t say what you’d do better but I have seen better so you know there’s gotta be another 1.5 in the tank. Greens usually give me the frights which is dangerous but the garnishing was acceptable in size. Didn’t need to be bullied into eating it either. Portion size looked perhaps a touch small.nnI took a bite and the sensation felt equivalent to an 7.9 / 10; the eggs were pretty damn well poached, maybe a sliver on the side of runny; the bacon was tasty and well cooked - not quite proper crunchy; hollandaise was lovely with a hint of chilli spice, but not overdone. The bread was defo undertoasted but i think that’s probs cause it was defrosted in the toaster so it had about as much crunch as soft banana still very edible though.nnThe plating pesto was a nice addition, along with the well portioned spread of balsamic on the bread - welcomed on my plate and in my tummy.nnPrice was a very reasonable $27 after a +1$ persecution fee for a genetic abnormality that I have no control over.nnI’d happily return; wouldn’t say i’m itching to though. As the @arbiterofeggs I decree a final bene score of 8.15 / 10. A sound choice.

The food at 25ml Cafe was quite average. The crispy chicken was served cold, portion sizes were small, and prices were relatively high.nnParking is difficult, and the atmosphere can be noisy as some customers speak very loudly.

Cute little cafe with smashin food! Loved the chicken burger and mish mash hash. Amazing flavour combinations

25 Ml café is a local spot which is loved by many.nThe cafe had been renovated and got a much needed face lift that adds to the overall nice experience.nnThe food is always served with flair and there are different dishes to choose from , some with Asian influence.nOverall, a cute place to eat and have a good cup of coffee.

Great cafe, one of the best vegetarian breakfasts I've had! Quality ingredients and a bit of thought and effort went into it which was much appreciated. So filling it set us up for the day. My partner had the huge breakfast and loved his as well. Can absolutely recommend, great prices for what we had
