Handsome Her II

September 16, 2017

After three visits to Handsome Her I've spanned their sweet menu and I'm here to declare my surprise favourite: the granola! After a week-and-a-bit of morning fruit platters in Bali, ordering the dish most resplendent with fruit felt like the right thing to do. There's plenty more to the 'Samantha Ratnam' ($16.50) besides: crunchy, gluten-free grains and flakes glistening with a sweet syrup, nuts, a halo of beetroot coconut yoghurt, your choice of dairy-free milk and in the centre, a proud passionfruit pannacotta served as a popsicle. It's as light and festive as breakfast gets!

As an added bonus, it left me with room to try HH's iced chocolate ($8), a gorgeous icy blend based on almond milk.

Michael was also rather pleased with the Rosa Parks ($19.50): while he didn't think that the beetroot tint benefited the bun, he was roundly impressed by the mushrooms and pumpkin, vegan bechamel & mozzarella, pea puree & fresh salad.

We're thrilled to see this terrific new cafe near full every time we visit - in fact, they were only able to fit us out back this time. It's a little plainer out there at the moment, but it's still plenty comfortable when there's sunshine and food this fun.

Accessibility: The entry is flat, and tables are densely packed with a clear corridor through the middle of the cafe. Out the back, the ground is a bit uneven. We ordered at the table and paid at a low counter. We haven't visited the toilets, but we noticed a 'wheelchair accessible' sign beside the directions leading to the loos.
