Brewtown Newtown and Mad Spuds Cafe

I have heard so much about Newtown, a popular suburb close to Sydney CBD from my BFF, Googlesearch. I suggested to visit Newtown as part of our weekend fun and came across the much hyped Brewtown Newtown cafe.

We reached around 10.30am on a drizzling day and were lucky to get a seat within 15 minutes as there was a sudden influx of customers subsequently. Service was good, staff were attentive but expect to share tables if it's 2-3 people. 

Our large skim Mocha. I'm no coffee expert, but it tastes great to me!
Of course we had to try the famous Cronuts. They have a wide range of flavors for the Cronuts to suit your taste buds. Our 2 cronuts, Cinnamon and Chocolate flavors were served quickly (no photos sorry!). It tasted like donuts and we enjoyed it very much! 

We ordered the poached eggs on toast with house relish $10 which tasted okay and elvis burger- ground beef, savory brewnut, canadian bacon, gruyere and mayo served with chips and relish $16.50 which was tasty and filling.

Well, I would probably go back for the coffee and cronuts again. If you have a sweet tooth, give the cronuts a try! The menu can be found at: http://www.brewtownnewtown.com/pages/brewtown.

Surry Hills, just located at the outskirts of Sydney CBD is very popular for its many brunch places. We were spoilt for choice but decided to try Mad Spuds Cafe because Mr Taro is a big fan of potatoes! 

A cafe focusing on making their spuds well, and it seems like they have done it right. The Irish Breakfast $18 - pork sausage, black and white pudding, crispy bacon, baked beans, hash browns, soda bread and potato bread and eggs was very tasty especially the black and white pudding and hash browns. It is something different from the usual cafe breakfast offerings. The portion is large and even Mr Taro could not finish his main. 

Mad Pan Brekkie $16- boston beans, 2 spiced pork sausages, hash browns, poached egg and roast sweet onion was yummy as well. The cappuccino was nothing to rave about in our opinion. 
Service was good, and cafe was not crowded. It is a great place to have a leisure brunch or lunch and explore Surry Hills thereafter.
