I'm all about the food.
And this is all about the breakfast.
A short and sweet review for a small & sweet place.
Most people that I mention Tre Fantastico to, have either a) been and loved it or b) don't believe there's a coffee-house there and fire-up Google street view. But don't be frightened - it's easy to find, just surprising to some that it's there.
Tre Fantastico is located in the Parkside Resort on Humboldt Street - where their cosy patio is shaded by huge trees and their view is across to the gardens and buildings of St. Ann's. You'll easily forget you're half a block from Blanshard St.
Yes, that's it…..Tre Fantastico! |
Building on the strong base of Caffe Fantastico coffee and their coffee-houses around town - this location is licensed and has a small kitchen that cranks out great food. You can stop in for coffee & a muffin, a local brew & grilled sausage, a glass of peninsula wine & a charcuterie plate or….well, the list goes on (and there's gourmet popcorn too!)
But I said short and sweet - so we'll focus on breakfast for now.
We ordered at the counter and carried our number plate to an open table (ok, to be truthful, I did have to hover a bit for a table to empty, but the cycle seems well timed - just as your coffee/latte is ready, ta-dah! seating opens up).
A very short time later, our table is hosting a lovely plate of scrambled eggs with chorizo from Choux Choux Charcuterie (served with roasted, rosemary potato wedges) and a soft-but-sturdy brioche bun holding a fried egg, thick-cut bacon, cheese & fresh pea shoots.
Delicious. Every last bite.
This is why it's a bit of musical tables….it's no secret how great this place is.
