314 Illawarra Road, Marrickville NSW 2204
Cafe gem for the locals
A friend's recommendation brings me to Cornersmith to try their Poached egg roll with free range salami, quince aioli, pickled fennel & brussel slaw ($12). I order takeaway as there's already an eager queue waiting outside to get a table and having baby onboard means little time to wait around. The roll has a great combination of tasty flavours and the egg is perfectly cooked. The bun is soft for easy eating and some mint provides a refreshing highlight. I basically ate this one in the car but it would have been more ideal to eat in the cafe with a plate so as to be less worried about the runny egg factor. To keep baby happy I order her a Babyccino ($3 takeaway) although I find out later it should have just been $1. I guess brain farts do happen and Cornersmith promise to make it up to baby next time. Service was friendly and efficient and the tempting menu definitely makes me want to come back to try more things.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Tempting and reasonably priced menu, Friendly and efficient staff, Promote local homegrown produce
CONS: Expect to wait for a table due to popularity
MUST TRY: Poached egg roll
VERDICT: A popular locals cafe promoting homegrown produce

Funny, one day my boss came to the office and said "went to this cafe in Marrickville... it was good but very healthy, too healthy for me... you would like it". He was talking about Cornersmith, of course. Not cool that they overcharged you for the coffee.
