I have a very cool friend who is the barista at Pearl Oyster. He also comes around a lot and is the fill-in girlfriend for my housemate. It makes sense to me.
On a particular day when we were all very over hung and in need of resuscitation, I dragged the boys to Proud Mary.
I have never eaten breakfast here, but it was pumping harder than a body-dysmorphic body-builder from Brisbane, and probably brought out as many plates of eggs as one would eat.
And never ever let me train on a 35degree day, after a heavy night of drinking, ever again.
I swear I had heart palpitations and I was about to vomit.
Anyways, barista friend desperately wanted to try all their coffees so, we both had a doppio, a cold drip coffee which was just given to us out of experimenting (which I fucking loved…see below) and a clover drip as well as 2 siphons…all a different bean.
Let’s just say we inhaled them all too quickly and I had heart palpitations again.
Ack.
I couldn’t even get through half my breakfast here because I was shaking so much.
The Scrambled Mary which has some of the best scrambled eggs I have had in a long time, with chorizo, capsicum relish and haloumi. Actually, in hindsight, you may have to be very hungry to eat all of this. Thank god I brought the boyfriends who were able to eat the rest of this for me.
On a side note, the service here is kind of choppy, but that is expected when it is ridiculously full and the staff are only just getting used to it. The food here is very well made, no complaints about that, but perhaps, as discussed with many people, a little too mainstream. For something that serves specialty coffee, their food probably doesn’t reflect it so much and could probably do with a little more thought.
