Goblin Cafe




Let’s meet ‘Goblin’ for breakfast.  Yes!  Situated round the corner of Summer Hill train station, this little café was opened in June 2012 and well-managed by the dedicated, energetic and handsome chef, Eliot assisted by his brother Anton and sister Scarlett.

The ambiance of the café is comfortable.  The indoor seating area is simple yet cozy.  In a sunny day, you won’t have any excuse of not choosing the courtyard seat to have a touch of the sun and fresh air.  

Today I visited this café with a group of friends.  Coffee was nicely made.  My cappuccino offered some dark chocolate flavor with medium after-taste.  Single origin coffee is also available in Goblin.  
 
Breakfast sets were wonderful: nicely presented and well-prepared.  The baked beans in the Spanish breakfast gave surprises to everybody.  Having some baked beans in the winter to give you heart-stirring warmth, what else could you ask for more?

The end of our gathering was marked by the amazingly awesome pancakes – Ricotta and Buttermilk Hot Cakes with Poached Quince and Whipped Maple Butter.  The pancakes were expected.  Yet, the poached quince was excellently made to give your palate wonderful softness and sweetness – an experience you would hardly forget.

讓我們與精靈共晋早餐! 這咖啡店位處Summer Hill火車站出口的轉角處,於20126月開業,由一位充滿熱誠、有幹勁及英俊的廚師Eliot悉心經營,現時他的兄弟Anton與姊妹Scarlett也在店座陣幫忙。

咖啡店的環境相當舒適,室內的座位簡單而舒服。若是晴朗的一天,你怎會有藉口不選擇後院的座位,親親陽光與新鮮空氣。

今天我跟一班朋友來訪這咖啡店,咖啡造得很好,我點的意式泡沫咖啡帶著黑朱古力的口味,並帶中度的感餘韻。這裡也有單品豆咖啡可供選擇。

早餐的定食極好:賣相吸引,並做得很美味。西班牙早餐定食內的焗豆帶給每個人驚喜。在這冬日,暖,夫服何求?

我們聚會完結前,享用了最後的一道甜點-煎薄餅,上有燉煮的溫桴(爛桃梅,梨子的一種),並配以打發過的楓糖牛油。煎薄餅的味道是可以預料的,出奇地美味的,是溫桴(爛桃梅)竟能為味覺帶來如此妙絕的柔軟及甜美的享受-一種難以忘懷的感受。
