Barnum Cafe has gone from strength to strength in the 6 years since I was last here, becoming a kind of international traveller breakfast Mecca. Seating has been expanded to include an outdoor area, the menu now offers all kinds of food “from home” and...the coffee is still excellent. On a busy day, there’s likely to be a queue, and we amused ourselves by watching as people blithely sailed past the queue & tried to go in the door, only to be rebuffed. Having said that, the queue moves quickly, and you probably won’t have to wait more than 15 minutes.
The new Aussie pastry chef is doing a phenomenal job with cornetti, and the scrambled eggs with sausage & bacon is delicious. Hoping it isn’t going to be another six years before I get to go again.More
