Le Comptoir - Annandale

Don't be confused by the name, this place is by no means a French bistro. At best it's a no frills cafe, with standard breakfast and lunch options and some cakes. However that said, the bacon and egg breakfast was pretty well done. It sounds simple but I've been to plenty of places that get it wrong. Eggs were perfectly soft as requested, bacon was nice and crispy but still full bodied and moist. Sides were good as well, baby spinach, mushrooms and tomato.I'm not sure why they served my toast on the side though, and cut in half, they're not the only ones that do this. But who eats like that? Don't you need the toast on your plate so you can pile the eggs and everything else on top? Or is that just me?Service was friendly and atmosphere quiet and relaxed.

I go here to grab my morning coffee and pastry. Coffee is really good (Toby's Estate) and as a soy milk drinker, I love that they use Bonsai soy milk which is by far the best soy milk. They're always happy to let my baby sit in a high chair and make a mess!

Lovely people who run it and very local and kids friendly feel. Great coffee, try the Maroccan Chicken Sandwich.

We had the eggs for breakfast and croque Monsieur. The eggs mushrooms haloumi were perfectly cooked Though the bacon was greasy lacked the crisp smokeyness one expects. A thinner cut of higher quality bacon grilled should do the trick. The orange juice was freshly squeezed as promised. The croque was passable but lacked the bite one needs from the gruyere having used Swiss instead.

Good spot for quick and simple lunch with some nice sweet options in the cabinet. Strong coffee made without fuss. Efficient staff.
