An ode to my local café

My local is so close that it hardly takes a minute,
To leave the house, cross the road, then suddenly I'm in it.

The coffee's great, the people sweet, and it's always light and airy,
Stopping there to grab my brew makes mornings not so scary.

Most days I get a take-away, it's always good for sure,
But when I've time, I'll sit right down and get a Croque Monsieur.

With golden crust and gruyere cheese, it's more than a mere sandwich,
There's leg ham, dijon and bechamel – it's creamy, crisp and rich.

A local store is handy, a local pub is fine,
But a great café is better, that's why I'm sharing mine.

That's both adorable and beautiful! I lack a favourite cafe at the moment, although:
My local cafe has the Campos brew too,
which makes my mornings tolerable, it's true.

Betty - Thanks! Yes, it's a little further up from the main Glebe Point Road action, but it's very cute and cosy. It's a very small cafe! Badde Manors is such a classic place... I actually love their soy chai.

Francesca - Thank you and teehee! I used to visit the original Campos, but it's nice having a more convenient option. Mornings are so hard already, adding distance is just torture.

I went to this place 1 time (always pass by and see its normally packed). My cappuccino was beautiful and Ham & cheese croissant was perfect ! maybe go again for Croque Monsieur>

-Ja Yes, it is very packed and it has lots of regulars (I'm one, obviously!). I found out they are closed for three weeks over the Christmas period...what am I going to do?!?!?!
