We thought we knew Brisbane’s cafe scene pretty well, until we stumbled upon a hidden gem in Sunnybank Plaza that completely blew our taste buds away: Cafe Pegasus.
Intrigued by whispers (okay, maybe just a glance at their menu board!), we took a leap of faith and ordered the seemingly bizarre Iced Orange Americano. Orange and coffee? Our initial scepticism melted faster than ice in a Brisbane summer. The result? A surprisingly delightful symphony of tangy citrus dancing with the robust bitterness of the coffee. It was the perfect unexpected jolt to kickstart our morning ā a true breakfast revelation!
But Cafe Pegasus isn’t just about adventurous drinks. Their extensive menu meets tastes, from the classics to the more daring. Their Eggs Benedict particularly tempted us, served with your choice of bacon, mushroom, halloumi cheese or smoked salmon, and the Pistachio French Toast, a decadent treat with pistachios, seasonal fruit and maple syrup. And for those seeking a lighter option, the Avocado Toast with feta and dukkah looked equally enticing. Their lunch menu is equally impressive, boasting options like the Wagyu and Crispy Chicken burgers.
We also indulged in a creamy soy mocha, perfectly complementing our sweet treats: a zesty lemon tart that sang with flavour and a satisfyingly chewy oat cookie.
The cafe is a visual treat, with beautiful neon lighting creating a vibrant and modern atmosphere. It’s also surprisingly spacious, perfect for both small and large groups. While the bright interior is tempting, the cool morning breeze beckoned us to their outdoor seating. It was the ideal spot to savour our unexpected breakfast adventure and soak in the relaxed Sunnybank vibes.
Cafe Pegasus is more than just a cafe; it’s a testament to culinary curiosity and delightful surprises. Trust us if you want to break out of your coffee routine and discover a truly unique Brisbane breakfast experience. Seek Cafe Pegasus in Sunnybank Plaza ā your taste buds will thank you!
