  Overall a good place for brunch. We came on a rainy Saturday, and waited about 30min for a party of 3.
  
  The not-so-scrambled-eggs were really good! Would definitely order them again.
  
  What I didn't like about this place was that it felt on expensive side for the food offered. The service also could've been a little better - they forgot to bring us our drinks and then came out wit the wrong order. Also, don't get the filter coffee (stick with espresso drinks).

  I came to Bread & Circus on Good Friday as I had checked online and this cafe was open so YAY. We arrived around 10.30am and there was a long line! The waiting time wasn't too bad, around 20 minutes, and the staff gave us a menu to look over which I didn't need - I always check the menu before I go to a place, how else do you decide whether you want to go there or not?
  
  Anyway so it was breakfast time and I am a sucker for pancakes! The only reason I agreed to go to Bread & Circus was because of their pancakes. Here is the description: Caramelised Lemony Banana Pancakes: banana, ricotta and biodynamic egg flourless pancake w/maple syrup, lemon compound butter,
  caramelised banana and strawberry - $19
  
  The wait for the pancakes was kinda long and my friend who had been to this cafe before said that the food does take a while to come out. We had both ordered the same dish, as my friend and I get food envy when the other person get's a better dish so we always order the same thing. Lol
  
  The pancakes came out and i would say they look more like hotcakes. These pancakes are "healthy style" so don't go thinking they are gona be those thick regular type of pancakes. Nevertheless, the pancakes were delicious!
  
  The pancake was lemony and when you add the ricotta and maple syrup, there is a great balance. I also combined the banana and pancake together in each mouthful and it was just divine! I really enjoyed the pancakes and I would return back for something else on the menu.
  
  Note: My sister had the pancakes and she didn't like it. I must admit I have a healthier palate than my sister so the "healthy style" of pancakes IS my cup of tea.
  
  Parking Tip: There is a "Secure" parking up the driveway next to the cafe. Go down the long driveway, and the parking lot is at the end. It is paid parking, and you pay when you exit at the boom gates. Parking here is worth your while if you hate trying to find street parking.

  This place is located in a industrial/funky space in Alexandria. Parking can be a bit of an issue on the weekends so be sure to get here early otherwise you may find yourself in a spot of trouble. The lines outside this place because there's Don Campos and now Pana Chocolate that's opened within the same area is insane. So be prepared to wait for a while - have a coffee or two!
  
  I love the fresh, raw kind of style food Bread and Circus offers. The staff are friendly although the service I've found to be a bit of hit and miss. Most likely because they are run off their feet as it's busy.
  
  Definitely a place to visit if you're in the neighbourhood. Alexandria is the place to be!

  I went there to check it out because I read they had 'bulletproof'coffee. Compared to Bulletproof coffee I've had elsewhere and around the western world it was at the very most average and overpriced ..it lacked love in the specifics of making and was made carelessly with very little coffee therefore I had no choice but to purchase an extra single shot which was charged at $3.50 just for the shot to make the Bulletproof coffee somewhat palatable...Now the service that bombed because of one particular server who ruined my experience and the tip for everyone due to being surly, but she did spark it up when it was time for me to pay but too little too late for the tip was probably was expected.

  Came in on a Sunday morning once and the queues were enough to deter me and I had my breakfast elsewhere. Came back on one Friday morning, I don't know about any other Friday morning but that day there was no queue.
  
  There were six communal wooden tables with vegetables, plants and kitchen items adorned the tables and more produce scattered around the cafe and even a big pile of produce on one big table right at the centre of the cafe prepares you for the type of food you're in for. The pink and pastel decor and plates did a great job in softening the whole outlook.
  
  The menu promotes healthy, wholesome meal. Let's be honest, nowadays people are becoming more aware of what we put in our mouth and care of what impact it'll have on our health. That's when things like 'biodynamic egg' and 'activated almonds' become popular and organic is suddenly cool.
  
  The highlight for me was Breakfast with Gwyneth, and Gwyneth definitely would be proud of this wholesome and oh so tasty meal of mine! Sautéed white quinoa with kale, chilli and mixed greens, and two perfectly fried biodynamic eggs. They were seasoned well and tasted like flavoursome fried rice with the great texture of quinoa.
  
  Then there's Parmesan Not-so-scrambled Eggs. Biodynamic eggs with fresh chilli or real truffle oil, Parmesan, avocado, baby spinach, tomato, fresh herbs and sourdough. My husband chose his with fresh chilli and he thought the meal was average but I was happy with the flavour.
  
  Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would love to come back again and make a note to myself not to come on a weekend.
