Wolfe & Co Take 2

Back here again, this time for the french toast which they sold out here on my last visit. It was a weekday and even around 1.30pm all the outdoor seats were taken. Initially sat inside then moved outside when a table was free. Staff here are super friendly, just like last time. Food so pretty I needed more than one photo.

Quinoa, orange, pecan and fig cake-$7.50


Pleasantly surprised when I saw the cake so nicely plated, was expecting just the cake from their display on a plate. I thought the cake had fig inside, but it was on the side-even better. Super fresh and full of flavour. The orange peel on top was too bitter for me. First time having a quinoa cake. It was a bit dry and crumbly, but I guess they used minimal butter in this seince I couldn't really taste the butter, so yay for healthier cakes. Decent amount of pecans on top. Their honey is really good since you have the honey flavour but without it being sweet. The whipped creamy was nicely scooped, and helped give some moisture and creaminess to the cake. 

Mocha-$3.50
Coffee delicious as always, with a nice dark choco flavour.

Creme brulee french toast-$18.50




that blow-torched banana


I think the price of this increased slightly, and now they also have a liquor licence, but I guess the price doesn't really matter when something is delicious and so pretty! This is the first french toast I've had which was minimally sweet and hardly any oil coming out of it, and the 'healthiest' one. I can buy 9 loaves of bread for the price of this one piece of toast, but I definitely can't make all the elements on it. The toast wasn't overly eggy or overly fried, and still moist inside. The creme brulee was more subtle, but I  loved how they blowtorched the banana to give you that 'crack' from the usual dessert. The rhubarb was actually quite sour, but together with the sweetness from the banana and honey, it helped cut through. Like I said before, the toast and honey aren't that sweet to begin with, so the rhubarb really helped make the dish minimally sweet. Loved the fresh berries and edible flowers. Everything worked so well together.

  1. The red topping on top of the french toast is intriguing! I love how you get such a variation of presentations.

    The fig is a great touch, too! Those things are expensive, haha.
