willow & spoon kitchen espresso, 28 samford rd, alderley



i discovered willow & spoon on recommendation from natascha mirosch sending a tweet about it.   owners/bus ptrs keith & tracey opened 3wks ago & the locals are loving it...so much so that they have decided to extend their opening days to 7.  they use blue sky coffee with organic barambah milk, nine owls teas & focus on using local produce serving ala carte style breakfasts & lunches.  keith also said that they will be running monthly them nights (1st friday of every mth)...the first will be christmas in july serving 4 courses @ $65pp byo.  i love a them night!  rub's & i shared the buttermilk pancakes w strawberries & vanilla cream - they were light, fluffy & delicious...my latte was also very good + i liked the sound of their bfast special...goats cheese, beetroot relish w avocado, poached egg & rocket.

What a gorgeous little cafe. The monthly theme nights sounds like a nice idea and I'm sure it'll be embraced by the locals. Coffee looks good!

I'm guessing this is where the previous "Green Oven" was, which was great. I was hoping something good would open when it closed!

Oh Wow! This place is just near my house. It replaced a cute organic cafe, and I was sort of upset until now, it seems to be a successful place! Can't wait to try it, thanks for the review!
