Brewing uni love at Brewing Now

In only a week and half or so, I'll be leaving my beautiful 3 month summer break for a gazzilion pages of law readings and an unbearable amount of media assignments. My holiday is about to come to a close and while I love university, the 'work' aspect of university is not something I'm REALLY REALLY looking forward to. 

With the new semester just around the corner, I've been spending a lot of my time at uni - buying textbooks, doing stuff with my societies and volunteer programs amongst a myriad of other things and sometimes this can last a whole day so I need a good breakky to keep me going.

Last week, I left home for uni without breakfast and the prospect of having a McDonalds breakfast didn't really excite me so instead, I kept walking through Kingsford and found myself at a relatively new joint in Kingsford: Brewing Now cafe.

It was a bit strange to find a rather hipster cafe in Kingsford but the place seemed decent and looks far more appealing than a hash brown or hot cake form Maccas.

I can never start my day without a cup of tea so a T2 Earl Grey was my first order. Kingsford is not known for quirky cafes but this cafe definitely tickled my fancy the right way in terms of quirkyness... I mean, how beautiful is this presentation! However, it did take 30 minutes for my tea to come which is pretty ridiculous considering tea is just hot water and the loose leaf tea itself.

Brewing Now is situated in very very small premise (almost a hole on the wall) but it caters to quite a few locals in the area - its pretty busy for a very small cafe. While the ambiance was awesome, the service was utterly appalling and this is probably due to understaffing. It took an hour and half for our order to come out and if I could waltz into their kitchen and make it myself, it probably would take 1/15th of the time it took for our food to come to the table.

However, all was forgiven when I tucked into the parmesan and spanish beef sausage melt because it was simply divine! Something so simple yet so flavoursome and satisfying. The beef sausage was an absolute winner - it was salty and tangy. Just beautiful and complemented the melted cheese and bread like peanut butter to jelly.

The mushroom, fried eggs, spinach and spanish beef sausage was just as delicious. The fried eggs were cooked to gooey perfection and the mushrooms and spinach were well seasoned. Just as the beef sausage shone through in the melt, the beef sausage was a winner yet again in this dish.

While the service was terrible, the food definitely acted as a saving grace and it certainly was one, not just for the meal but also for the prospect of returning to uni. Knowing that that there is a rockin' new cafe near to my uni with really delicious food makes the idea of going to uni a little more bearable. At least I can have a nice breakfast before sitting through 2 hours of Public Law right?
