Snow Pony
Now this cafe certainly has had mixed reviews... some
people love it while others were not happy at all. So today I thought I would
see for myself what Snow Pony is actually like. We found the cafe easily by the
obvious white horse on the top of the cafe. The place was packed but we managed
to grab some seats down the end of the window counter. We were offered some
menus but then the wait began... We had to wait for ages to have our order
taken. Though there were a number of waiters, they seemed to be wandering
around but achieving very little. This is really bad for me and my dining
companions because all that extra time allows me to change my mind as to what I
should order... I was thinking of ordering the B.L.A.T. Baguette ($11.90),
bacon, baby cos, smashed avocado, truss tomato and mustard aioli but I decided
to go with a ‘Snow Pony Classic’ and
thus ordered the Toasted banana bread ($14.90). Two large chunks of banana
bread sandwiched two slices of fresh banana and maple syrup mascarpone.
More of the mascarpone was added on top, then scattered with crushed pistachios
and the berry compote. This was well worth the disorganised waiters. The
blueberries were so plump and fresh and the very plentiful pistachios really
made the dish yummy. My friend went with the ‘Bang Bang’ eggs ($15.90) which were poached on toasted grain
bread with spinach, roasted red pepper and tomato, and hazelnut dukkah. Also,
very good. As for beverages, judging from our bill, the coffees are $3.50. Our
lattes were so delicious! I would come back here just for the coffee, it was
that good. Cakes were displayed on the counter and the muffin ($4.00) available
today was white chocolate and banana. Overall, very good food and coffee but someone
needs to whip those boys into shape...
