Hoochie Mamma is a popular cafe just off King Street frequented by University of Sydney students and RPA workers. Years ago when I used to frequent the area, I would start my day almost every day with either their home made muffins which changed flavour every day or their yoghurt & muesli and a small flat white.
Fast forward to now and the cafe appeared just as busy on a Thursday morning as what I used to recall. The poor staff who must have been short on people that day, were running around like headless chooks trying to serve the tables, make juices and coffees behind the counter, handle the takeaway orders, accept payments for the tables…
That certainly didn’t ruin the zen that I had created for myself – breakfast out on a weekday is a rare occasion for me and this was one of them. I ordered a Veggie Breakfast ($17) which includes 2 free range eggs, haloumi, spinach, roast tomato, field mushroom, fritters & toast. In other words, it was quite a large meal. The rye toast was great and the eggs were perfectly poached (think – soft yolk just oozing out as you cut into it). I could probably do without the mini fritters (which I think are made from chickpea) as they were a little dry but the field mushroom on the other hand, was juicy and tender (and I don’t even like mushrooms!).
