Pop Cafe has been on our mind lately......we have been hankering to try their Pop Dogs! Not only because they are bratwurst sausages (Mumma Kel and I are always partial to a good old bratwurst) but because they are poached in a beer broth and then grilled in an 'authentic' way (not good I imagine for days when you are counting calories however!!).
We headed to Pop Cafe in our lunch-break (this time we were bubba free and back into the part-time workforce) with Pop Dogs on our mind! We had arranged to meet our lovely friend G there with her gorgeous baby girl. After an initial hello in the cafe G picked up her little bundle from the pram for a cuddle only to realise any mumma's worst cafe nightmare......green ooze soaking through from the nappy region onto an adorable outfit and into the pram!!! Thankfully Pop Cafe had a change table (one of only a few cafes in town that provides one) so we all scurried to assist in between ordering our lunch.
Once the initial disaster was resolved and lunch ordered we were able to sit back and catch-up. Our Pop Dogs came out pretty quickly - a 'danish dog' for Kel (crispy fried onions, pickles, dijionnaise & havart cheese) and 'relish dog' (tomato relish, caramelised onion & tasty cheese) for me (each $9.50). They were certainly a decent size - I did manage to eat mine whole while Kel was more 'lady-like' and cut hers in half before consuming. Each 'dog' was equally delicious however the onion base on my dog was probably not the best choice for a work lunch! Kel and I also enjoyed chocolate shakes - cold & ice-creamy, just the way we like it - yummo! If you are keen for a 'healthier' option for lunch G opted for the soup of the day which she enjoyed served with hot pressed bread.
Once again Pop Cafe was a great kid friendly option for lunch...pram access, highchairs and a change table (which this time proved invaluable) as well as tasty food, friendly and efficient service in a cafe that's in the center of town :)
Love Mumma's Al & Kel xx
