Cimbalino - COTTESLOE

Came here for breakfast on Saturday morning. The place we intended to go to was full and after looking at the menu we decided to see what else was around. Cimbalino is gorgeous. Cozy dining. Plenty of seating. Service was lovely and food came out prompt. The servings were epic. I think we just found our new local! Loved it!

Cimbalano 's at Eric Street in Cottesloe, has always had beautiful coffee beans. I only have three coffee 's a week so am very fussy: Soy Cap is my usual. Over the years it really has depended on who the barista was or is. Currently it is a lovely young lady we simply call 'Joey '. Apart from being efficient, smart, and customer orientated, Joey is an outstanding barista. You can tell that she has made your morning coffee. <br/ <br/ Apart from the coffee, Cimba 's has the usual breakfasts and they have a good coffee-toastie combo for $10.00.<br/ <br/ Cimba 's in Eric Street was owned by the very efficient Vietnamese family who own Beaches Cafe on the Cott., beachfront. It 's just been taken over by a former owner of Beaches. <br/ <br/ Let 's hope the standard stays the same or improves, and Joey stays with the new owner. Our coffee-loyalty depends upon it.<br/ <br/ Good luck to the new owner; Cimbalano 's deserves it.

French toast with lemon curd, biscuit crumbs and cream. Prefect sized portion not overly sweet for a breakfast treat. Would definitely recommend, one of the best French toasts I have had!!

Had checked out the menu before visiting and had decided on the pancakes, unfortunately the menu has changed which totally disappointed me. The current menu is pretty standard so ended up just getting the ham and cheese toasted brioche. Was tasty if slightly greasy. The chai latte was lightly spiced and seriously creamy..really delicious, so would return just for this! My boyfriend had the eggs benedict with bacon which was very standard but nice. Coffee got a massive thumbs up from him also though.The cafe itself is nice and open with lots of local ladies milling around for a post gym gossip.

Gotta love Cimba!! It's been here, and we've been going for years but just finally had the chance to review it. I ordered the porridge with poached pear and cinnamon. It was really tasty and comforting especially on such a cold morning. The poached pear was super juicy!
