This morning I checked out one of my local cafes Green Door Cafe at Stones Corner with my GF and my best mate and fellow food snob who I will refer to now as Belayer.

Coffee

The coffee brand used is "Vientiane" and the blend that they have is a smoother style coffee.  I ordered a cappuccino and Belayer ordered a flat white.  I order my cappuccino European style and prefer it warm rather than hot.  It was beautiful - really smooth and the temperature was perfect to me.  I also like the quirky side of an individual tiny teddy.  Belayer was happy with his flat white and my GF liked the heart that they created in the foam (Girls!!  What this has to do with the coffee taste only they would know!)

Menu

The menu is simple but has all your standard breakkie options are on there.  Be warned though - only on Sunday at this stage do they provide a larger range of breakfast items.  I ordered the "Hottie" with a side of grilled haloumi.  The eggs were poached really well.  The bacon and haloumi where cooked nicely as well.  Belayer went for the "Benny" which is Green Door's version of Eggs Benedict - which he stated were the best he ever had.  The GF was happy with the 3 egg omelette as they were able to cater to her dietary needs and was served with a tasty relish.  We also ordered freshly squeezed juices and they were delicious.  The cabinet inside had lots of lunch options and sweet treats as well as gluten free alternatives.

Staff

The staff are very friendly and relaxed.  The owners who were in the kitchen this morning had a bit of free time and came outside and were happy to interact with us.  One of the owners is also a photographer and his pieces are sometimes on display in the gallery upstairs, but they were not aware that we ran this review.

Vibe and Ambience

The cafe is very chilled and relaxing without staff trying to hurry you out the door.  The furnishings are eclectic.  Outside you can sit on covered and padded milk crates or on a benchstyle table overlooking the street.  Inside there are some lounges or your standard seats and tables.  There is a variety of art on the wall which changes regularly.

Value for Money

The menu value is great with some options under the $10 mark.  The coffee could be a bit cheaper but for the standard you receive it is good value.
