After finding out last-minute that a high-school friend was visiting Melbourne, a rushed breakfast catch-up was organised. Seeing as I didn't have anywhere particular in mind, we ended up at a small cafe on Equitable Pl which seemed like quite a popular pit-stop in the mornings.

I settled for my standard Salmon/Cream Cheese order (with avocado, capers, red onion and roquette), while my friend chose a more breakfast appropriate Ham, Cheese and Tomato bagel.

While the bagel was filling, it was only moderately tasty. In all honesty, I'd rather pay the extra $3, and wait an extra 10 minutes, for the amazing bagels from Manchester Press. The waitress also forgot to cut my filled bagel in half, which made eating it a bit harder, but I guess you can't win them all. Don't get me wrong, this is still a good place to pick up a quick and easy breakfast, but there are better bagel-ries around if you've got the time to spare and are willing to spend a little extra.
