Luigi’s Deli

154 Glenayr Avenue, Bondi Beach

3.16 ‘Allpress coffee and simple delights’

Hello Luigi’s. You’re just down the road from Bondi Picnic and up from Deli Bottega. You’ve got a simple set up – ten or so tables out the front and a small kitchen and barista out the back. Your coffee is Allpress. Your head waiter, charismatic. And your menu, wallet friendly. It seemed I was on to a winner this morning. That was until you served me a cappuccino without chocolate sprinkles (aka a latte). Thankfully, said charismatic waiter swooped over moments later with the cocoa tin. Lucky save. Your eggs were also hit and miss – they were uneasy on the eyes, they looked like they’d been cooked in a box? It was all very confusing, but strangely tasty and satisfying. My biggest delight of the morning however, came when I realised Aquabumps was sitting at the table next to me! As a hero of mine, I was suitably impressed that Aquabumps had brought his family to dine with you, Luigi. Maybe he came for your special eggs too.

Coffee: 4 For the tasty Allpress. And for salvaging my cappuccino.
Eggs: 3 Boxey, but tasty. And lots of them.
Toast: 2 I did not love your toast.
Knife: 2 Pretty average.
Ambience: 4 Chilled out, good for people watching, nothing pretentious.
Price: 4 Nothing over$14.50, eggs on toast is $9.

Hello Sydney Cafes. Katherine Riches wants the creamiest coffee, the gooiest eggs and the crustiest toast. Do you have them for her? She’s also looking for sharp cutlery. What kind of cafe serves thick sourdough toast with a butter knife? She does not like these cafes. They make eating hard work. Her brekkie quest aims to seek out all you groovy cafes from you cruel and daggy ones. P.S. She’ll also be scoring your elements from 1 to 5.
