When Mike & Lisa took over Fat Susi’s their coffee came with one of those complimentary biscuits. Not your usual run of the mill biscotti. This was one of those home cooked ones and they were great while they lasted. But you learn fast in this town and there just isn’t the time thats needed to dawdle over the stove baking the little things that count.
So be it. But what I don’t understand is why none of the coffee shops offer a biscuit selection as a menu item. It would be something different. Very little wastage and great to nibble on when doing the morning paper.
And as for that complimentay biscuit there is still Mario’s and East Head Cafe that serve biscotti’s. Cruise Cafe stopped theirs sometime ago and I am not sure who else does.[edit 6/5/11] Cruise Cafe have reintroduced not one but two shortbread squares with their cappuccino’s
[edit 07/12/10] Chaplins on Grey offer you a ginger bread nibble and East Head Cafe have produced a new menu for season with the option of a bowl of biscotti for R10. So we are already half way there. Hopefully someone will come up with an assorted selection ranging from crunchy through to a melt in the mouth shortbread treat. And whilst we are about it why not a large tin mug and rusks you can dunk in the coffee?
