Chicken&Fishhead packs a lot into a small corridor. Owners Sarah Cannon and Scott Bollington,a husband and wife team,have created a thriving cafe-cum-children's emporium attracting young families. Its unusual moniker combines the couple's nicknames.
As mothers pore over crafty gifts at the back,couples and babies cram into the front - a mix of whitewashed furniture,red walls and black chandeliers. Toddlers play in a cosy nook.
The child-friendly menu includes fairy bread ($3.50),ice-cream spiders ($4.50) and chocolate crackles ($2.50). For older diners,French pastries arrive each morning from Lumiere in Surry Hills.
Our mellow Grinders coffees ($3.50-$4) arrive at just the right temperature. Tea lovers can choose from herbal,flavoured and T2 options ($3.50-$4).
The breakfast trifle ($8) includes tangy natural yoghurt and Whisk&Pin muesli as well as berries,which today have a slightly icy crunch. Winners include the BLT with avocado ($9.95) and big breakfast on a light local sourdough ($15). The poached eggs ($10) are a little overcooked,however.
Service is friendly if a bit slow - the trade-off for popularity.
