Mama Bear

Mama Bear is a new cafe in Flemington, the decor and furnishings are pretty cool, it feels like a little bit of Brunswick out West (no hipsters tho!)

The coffee today was amazing - single origin from Brazil - it tasted like chocolate!

The food was pretty good too with great options. Some a bit creative others a quirky twist on the classics (eg Mr Benedict with bacon and apple cider hollindaise). Everything was well presented and very tasty!

But!! And there was quite a serious but!

The food took forever to come out. We did get a warning when we ordered that it would be about a 25 minute wait - which would have been fine if it was true!! 45 minutes after ordering and an hour after arriving we were finally served. To their credit they did check in a couple of times to let us know the food was "coming". Although at the same time they could have asked if we wanted another coffee or topped up the water.

Also - my eggs were a bit undercooked and Reid's were a bit overcooked! And I'm pretty sure they weren't free range!

Plus there were lots of flies inside - which was a bit weird & gross!
