Over the years I’ve found a few southern gems like Rustico Tapas in Rockingham and Timber Café in Harrisdale. I’d been invited along to a brand new café in Success, 8 Yolks. Normally, I wouldn’t make a 110km round trip for brunch, but it just so happened I was heading south that day.
The Success café doesn’t have that rustic chic vibe like so many cafes do these days. I love that it’s totally original. The bright and sunny café has a fun colour scheme, incorporating my favourite brunch component – the humble runny egg! There’s cosy booths, inside and outside dining, and a gorgeous tiled communal table, where Little Chef and I set up camp.
First up we order some coffees – an almond flat white for me and a baby chino for Little Chef.
The Food
The menu is made up of all sort of al day brunch goodies. Staples like bircher muesli and eggs benny are joined by a few Asian style dishes, so you’re sure to find a dish to tickle your fancy. Nine year old Little Chef ordered the adult sized banana and nutella pancake ($17.5), Fluffy pancakes are topped with hazelnut crumble, banana, strawberries and finishes with a couple of generous scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. He managed to polish the whole lot off! It would be fantastic to see a kids menu for younger children though.
I enjoyed the gluten free version of the Smokey BBQ Pulled Beef Benedict ($21). The tender Angus beef brisket is slow cooked for 14 hours and it shows. The meaty deliciousness is topped with two eggs and buttery hollandaise sauce. A gooey egg is my idea of heaven and these were perfectly poached – yolk oozing everywhere. Great for mopping up with the gluten free bread.
All in all, we both loved the relaxed atmosphere and well cooked brunch offerings at 8 Yolks. If I lived in the area I’d be stoked to have it as my local café!
Find 8 Yolks at 660 Beeliar Drive, Success.
