The return of RAD (cafe) - Mt. Eden

Last week, me & mum wanted to goto a cafe where we can grab a coffee and some food for my hubby.

Hubby suggested ' RAD' is Mt. Eden so thought why not.

RAD is one of his mates' favourite place to grab their famous 'Black stack Burger'

Like it's name, it is a black bun burger that is stacked with crisp skin pork belly.

I quite like their chips. Crispy outside yet not

 oily and not too much salt. 

Me and mum ordered our usual trim latte and trim flat white + almond croissant

Never had croissant grilled s found it quite interesting. (But then again, almond croissants don't have delicate crispy outer layer like plain croissants so guess it doesn't matter)

They changed their coffee beans recently and they were delicious. Just how I like. Nice aroma and medium bodied in my opinion. The only down size it that they don't have larger cups. I would have drank a bowl if available. (So ended up buying another F/W on my way out haha)

Rosie (Cafe) - Parnell

Was a rather quiet and sunny day after the storm so decided to have brunch in a cafe.

The cafe me and my bf decided to visit was in Parnell, called 'Rosie'

Heard they have some cool lighting and indeed they did.

(Apparently the flower light cost more than a car 0A0;)

 

All the furniture and dishes were all nice (and pricey)  fancy design wares. 

Cabinet food looked pretty and delicious. (Forgot to take some photos though..)

Their menu was nicely covered with hand stitched fabric, giving an antique classy look.

Rosie Cafe had a wide range of juice and smoothies to choose from!

I went for a glass of 'Apple & Kale' Juice and I really liked it! (Was too green for my bf XP)

For my meal I've chosen 'Mushrooms, pancetta, poached eggs, chilli ragas'

My bf went for 'Omellette, smoked fish, soft herbs, caper salad'

plus 'hash potato'

The presentation of the foods were good.

I definitely wasn't expecting hash brown to be a square shape.

But seasoning in foods were a bit too much for me...

So I was quite glad I ordered refreshing juice instead of creamy coffee XP

If I visit Rosie again, think I will go for the cabinets sandwiches.
