We had:

Pimp my breakfast – $15.50
(Scrambled eggs, Smoked salmon, Toasted sourdough)

Here at The Lokal, customers are given the choice to pimp their own breakfast with the different sides available on the menu. I had the scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and toasted sourdough. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the smoked salmon, because unlike other cafes, this did not come in thin slices but in a thick piece, just like a normal salmon fillet. And yes, it was smoked perfectly with the right texture! The eggs were decent too and I must say that they were pretty good. I was also rather pleased w my sourdough as they were still fluffy and crispy by the time we ate it .

Pimp my breakfast – $15.50
(Scrambled eggs, Grilled sausage, Toasted sourdough)

Almost the same like my breakfast, just that we subbed the smoked salmon for a grilled sausage…. Which was quite a disappointment for me. The sausage had a foul smell to it so personally, I wouldn’t order this again. Not for $6 and definitely not in a million years.

Roast chicken panini with crispy panchetta, tomato, avocado, cos and aioi – $15

Ahh I loved this! The chicken spread reminded me like that of chicken mayo and the other ingredients used were delicious!

Toasted banana bread, home-made vanilla yogurt, toasted macadamias, caramelized banana – $12

One of their signature dishes! The banana bread was moist, and toasted well. The vanilla yoghurt wasn’t too sweet or tart, and was the perfect topping to the bread. The caramelized banana and macadamias sealed the deal. Would definitely order this again!

Service:
Double thumbs up for the service! It was prompt, and the staff were really friendly. They even gave us free butter and sugar (it’s chargeable, btw) just because they didn’t have enough change for us. Hahaha

Atmosphere:
Definitely loved the old-school concept with a spacious interior. It was also well-furbished with comfy sofa chairs, beautifully decorated bookshelves and wooden tables.. 🙂
