Food Update: Chobib Edition

At long last Chobib has come back to post something. Ok, so I don't have as many cool photos as Chai over there. But I have an AWESOME place to recommend.

Little Gem Cafe



This little cafe is situated in Sydney's North Shore, Gordon. Address: 1 Moree Street. Owned by Bryant and Cindy. They are the friendliest people you will ever meet - and they will always remember you after your first visit - no matter how extremely busy it gets (and trust me, for a tiny cafe, it gets busy! Especially, with the amount of offices around the area and the lack of good cafes).

The first thing to try is their coffees. BEST caramel latte's ever. But it's not just because of the syrup. Their coffee beans are fantastic and the coffee is made with care.

Next up is the sandwiches. They are always fresh and they always taste great. My personal favourite, a jaffal with ham, cheese, tomato, baby spinach and vegemite. YUM! Bryant always looks at us funny when we order it.

Lastly, the big breakfast. It is SURE to get you full. Actually, you probably would not be able to finish it! Another thing for breakfast: the bacon, egg and cheese roll. mMmmm.

My friend and I knew Bryant when he used to co-own Norita (Liverpool St, Sydney 2000). He was the guy with long crazy hair. Now it's short and, 3 or so years since we last saw him, he still remembers us - and my boyfriend who I started seeing at Norita. Now, he and Cindy work 7 days a week, just them two, from 7am until 5pm (on week days, 4pm on the weekend). They definitely are two hard working, dedicated people.

So, next time you're in the area - or not even - just next time when you want some good coffee and cafe food, visit Little Gem Cafe. You'll always remember it.
