Buzzzbar Brunch - That is so not an exciting title

Yay, King St Challenge is back on, I'm pretty lame at getting the blog out though. I'd like to tell you that I’m flat out busy doing other things but i don't think parking my arse on the couch and channel surfing counts as "things".


Anywhoo, over the Easter long weekend, I was lucky enough to catch up with my super awesome friends (I have other super awesome friends that weren't able to attend for various reasons and I don't want them to feel that they are any less super awesome coz I'm not mentioning them, but they are a little teehee) Sheena, Nat, Anthony, Gav and little Oli (he is so damn adorable, I'm telling you this kid could be a Von Trap in a future production of The Sound of Music, you heard it here first)


Again with the rambling, FOCUS Mel!! So we met for Brunch @ Buzzzbar (Fun Fact - I've been spelling it with 2 z's instead of 3 up until this very moment when I noticed the picture of the sign so I've gone back and edited, almost like a real writer), the weather was shithouse but who cares we were inside where it was all warm and cosy. We found a nice corner with couches and pretty much barricaded it so Oli wouldn't run off. Anthony came in super handy (literally) when Oli dropped stuff under the couch, he has go-go-gadget arms (Anthony not Oli) and was able to retrieve them with little to no effort. Nat, I think you may want to see if he has niece named Penny, also if he owns a trench coat you could be married to a super hero (just coz he's not Marvel doesn’t mean he's not a super hero!!) Oh and gav turned up almost on time too, granted he looked half alseep but ahe at least came, gotta love that!!



Big thank you to the guy who gave up his spot so we could sit down by the way, he was just sitting there reading the paper and drinking his coffee when we came in and offered to move so we could sit down, what a gentleman. See people in Sydney can be nice too :-) If you run into him can you tell him we said thanks, he was male with hair and eyes and stuff with a coffee and paper in his hand.

We all pretty much ordered the same thing, a big breakfast which consisted of bacon, eggs, toast, and extras. I can't remember what exactly they were, it was a week ago after all and I didn't steal a copy of the menu. Also I only remembered to take pics of the food after we had finished, so I suck. Sheena ordered Oli a Baby Chino and I gotta say he was not too impressed; he was however super delighted by Uncle Gavy's Banana Milkshake. He loved it; I understand it was his first experience with a milk shake, so proud to have shared the moment :-) Oh wait I remember one of them was spicy beans, not all of us ordered those though coz beans make you fart. Also discovered that Oli likes Bacon, I already loved that kid but now I love him even more.



The coffee at Buzzzbar is pretty good, you'd want it to be with the schmick coffee machine they have, also the baristas and waiters are not too hard on the eye if you catch my drift. The service is good, everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere is just chilled and relaxed (Look Gav, I didn't use Chillaxed....oh fuck, I guess I just did) The prices are pretty decent too, although I'm pretty sure they undercharged us, which is a nice change for us, not so much for them tho...oh well not my problem.


We all had a fantabulous time, at least that's what I was told and I’m very much looking forward to doing it again... and soon. if you ever find yourself in newtown looking for a good coffee, a fresh simple meal or a sweet treat you should try Buzzzbar, it's well worth it.

XOXO
