I have eaten at Marmalade Cafe on two prior occasions earlier this year but was lucky enough to visit twice in one week this week. It's the kind of cafe I get a little excited to go to as you just know you will not be disappointed. They claim to have the best BLTs and they aren't pulling your leg or using the claim for shameless advertising! These BLTs are good! It's the added extras to this classic that makes the Marmalade BLT the item on the menu that you just keep returning to. Chutney and avocado are the secret weapons, and all served on a toasted Turkish bread - yummo!
So on my second visit for the week, I really had to push myself to try something different. Smoked chicken and cheddar toasted wrap was my pick for the day. Again the chutney made an appearance and didn't let me down. Friends I was eating with picked the Chorizo Omlette with fetta and olives (I have also had this and it is delicious and filling) and the Egg and Bacon sandwich (huge! with lashings of bacon, lucious eggs and tomato sauce).
And the coffee..... creamy, not too hot and oh so perfect. And unlike some other cafes around town, it doesn't matter which day of the week or which barista is on, the coffee is good.
Often a cafe can be let down by either it's food or it's coffee. Marmalade has definately nailed both.
