Da Won Waffles and Coffee - 11 Holden Street, Hindmarsh SA
On the lookout for a brunch location outside of the city (during the Fringe festivities), I (Mirko) was directed by numerous locals of the West to go and visit Da Won Waffles and Coffee. Da Won, Korean for Tea House is run by a Korean Mother and son duo who have renovated the front of their house into a cute cafe.
A large blackboard spans the interior wall and notes all the food available at this Tea House. Seating is limited (approximately 6-10 inside, with another 10 outside) and is minimally decked out.

Green Tea Frappe - $6 (approx) |
We view the menu and order 4 dishes. This coupled with two beverages costs us $43 - a bargain! And....we were not able to finish all the food.
Pan Fried Dumplings - $8 |
Japchae - $8 |
The sweet potato Japchae with beef, mushroom, carrot, onion and spring onion was flavourful and had a nice texture. For those who haven't had this dish before, the texture may be a little foreign as it is slightly chewier than the normal noodle but just be aware that this is how it should be.
Hot and Spicy pork stir fry - $9 |
Soy Marinade Beef sandwich - $6 |
Overall, my friend and I were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed this food. The food here is good, honest, home cooking and for the price and quantity it is definitely worth a visit. I understand how locals around the area keep going back and making it their usual brunch time haunt.
Opening hours: Mon-Fri: 7:30am - 4:30pm and Sat: 9:00am to 2:00pm
Vegetarian friendly: Yes, some dishes are available
Kid friendly: Very small, so maybe keep the stroller at home
Ambiance: 3/5 - nice and quiet brunch time spot
Service: 4/5 - the mother/son combination just makes you feel like you are at their home (well...you are!)
Food: 8/10 - delicious food at a good price
Based on the above, OTCB give Da Won Coffee and Waffles 15/20 chops on the chopping board.
