brekkie quest: revolver, annandale

Revolver, Annandale

291 Annandale Street, Annandale 

3.83 ‘We’ll return (or revolve?) for more steak-knife joy.’

Hello Revolver. For a seemingly remote location, you draw quite a crowd. You’re set on a quiet suburban street – in an old unassuming corner-store building – you’ve got super friendly wait staff, groovy decor (trundle library ladder included); and a killer menu to boot. I opted for your interpretation of bacon and eggs. It was delicious. And elegantly ensembled. I was also suitably impressed with your ‘tea timer’ – clever – and the speed at which our tables were served. My biggest surprise, however, came when your cutlery was laid – a hybrid steak / butter knife! You can imagine my delight. Finally, a serrated glint of toast-cutting hope for the Sydney cafe industry. Thank you, Revolver. We’ll be back.

Coffee: 3.5 Strong. Powerful. Served in pretty red mugs.
Eggs: 4 Scrambled were good – none of that fluffy stuff. The baked eggs looked killer too.
Toast: 4 Sonoma breads are always a winner.
Knife: 4 Your hybrid butter-steak knife was impressive and has filled me with hope. Perhaps next time I visit you’ll have a fully-fledged serrated knife?
Ambience: 3.5 For a busy place, you were relatively chilled.
Price: 4 Nothing over $16.50. Incredible value for such gourmet food.

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.
