New coffee kids in Mascot
I've been a couple of times now and loving their Cappuccino ($3.50) using Seven Miles Coffee Roasters from Manly Vale. They are aiming to bring boutique roasters on the menu to keep it interesting for the locals. Croissant ($4) with jam is reasonably priced from Luxe Bakery. Babyccino ($0.50) comes with a marshmallow and in a takeaway cup that won't break if dropped. Still and sparkling tap water is available and the fit out is clean and slick. It's a limited menu of pastries and bagels. Service is friendly. On a hot day the space seems to retain the heat with limited airflow from a single door. Free street parking around and a worthy addition for the area I think.

Donut life at Krispy Kreme
Watching Krispy Kreme donuts being made is quite mesmerising and a definite kid pleaser as they peer through the kitchen window. If you're not careful in this place there's some serious calorie loading to be found. Visiting with the kids we all chose our own donut temptation. Miss 3 year old got the The Simpson ($3.25) because she loves pink. I got the Choc Iced Sprinkles ($3.25) because it's one of my favourite combos and Miss 6 year old chose the Original Glazed ($2.85) which I also love. Everything seems to be provided in takeaway boxes here, even if you're dining in. Some reusable dine in plates would be a more sustainable solution although I noticed the general clean up of tables seemed non-existent which did make the place feel a little dirty. There's free parking outside and a drive thru available. I noticed on the packaging the first glazed doughnut made down under was in 2003.

Keeping the locals happy
I've been a couple of times to this local gem bordering Rosebery and Mascot and also the one they used to have in Coogee. This time around is a quick and simple bite with the kids for dinner. Little Nugget Snack - 5 nuggets, half chips, sauce ($8) add Crumbed Calamari ($3, 3 pieces) hits the spot with nice tender calamari and some kid pleasing chicken nuggets. A slice of lemon wouldn't have gone astray. I got some sauce from the large bottle sitting on the counter for our dine in dinner. It's a narrow shop so the large communal bench seating for dine in can get a bit awkward and squashy. Plenty of free street parking if you can find it as it can be a challenge with the popular Newmarket Hotel and Manhattan Superbowl on the same block.
