Quick Chop! UR Caffe

UR Caffe - 117 Melbourne Street, North Adelaide SA 5006

After reading a few current glowing reviews for UR Caffe, I (Amanda) decide it's time to try it for myself, especially since OTCB hasn't visited since 2012 (see Mirko's review here). Catching up with a couple of girlfriends one Sunday mid-morning, we stroll in and find a large share table to occupy. The cafe has a rustic, casual and energetic vibe. I order and pay at the counter and sip on peppermint tea while I wait for my breakfast to arrive.

Avo Pomegranate Breakfast $14.90

I selected the Avo Pomegranate Breakfast which is described as smashed avocado, pomegranate, cherry tomato on sourdough toast with poached eggs. I would never think to sprinkle pomegranate on my eggs and avocado at home so I am intrigued by this dish. When it arrives there is a surprise element... radish! I squeeze the lemon wedge provided over the dish and cut into the poached eggs. The eggs are cooked perfectly as the yolk oozes out which I excitedly dip my bread and avocado into. The avocado is cut into small cubes rather than a typical smash I've had elsewhere but all elements separately and together were fresh and delicious.

Overall, it was an enjoyable dish that wasn't too heavy. I loved the sweet bursts of freshness of the pomegranate and cherry tomatoes which helped cut through the creaminess of the avocado. Personally I would have liked more bread as halfway through I ran out and had to eat my eggs and generous serve of avocado alone. It was definitely value for money for the quality and quantity provided. I can now see why it is a popular place to dine for breakfast or lunch!
