café: Hamptons / City Beach / 02sep18
We are following a list of "hipster cafés", for coffee & cake & review. This café is on the list -- but we were there for a family dinner. There was a preference for "dinner food" -- several of us choosing fish & chips. We did not really look for any hipster offerings. Anyway:
This is Fathers Day, close parking is at a premium. Easy parking is several carparks away but still close. Inside -- given the day -- is teeming. But not overwhelming.
This is a new café in a new building: definitely outside the hipster norm. There is plenty of family chat (our own family chatting, that is), little time for evaluation. I don't remember any "hipster" food, though it was probably there.
I leap straight to sharing a plate of fish & chips and an entrée of garlic prawns. The prawns are excellent, on a bed of rice which is sharp rather than spicy: delicious. The fish & chips are also delicious -- with a fish which does not go solid in the time it takes to eat it.
We share a nice dessert and coffee is good.
I'll rate this as 2 out of 3: we enjoyed it. But this does not evaluate the café as a hipster provider of our standard coffee & cake.
