From Monday, we'll be switching our bread over to the baker gods of A.P Bakery.
brioche, focaccia and possibly the best sourdough in the country, their fenugreek and sesame loaf.
Here are a couple of shots of the new bacon and egg roll with Pauline's famous chutney, aioli, the best bacon you can get from Coppertree Farms & free range egg.

STICKY TOFFEE BANANA BREAD!
I've somewhat obsessed over bread the last few months.... Flatbreads, sourdoughs, focaccias, and the humble banana bread. It's a staple of Aussie cafe culture and served in single cafe in the country in all shapes and sizes. So it's something not to be overlooked.
After countless recipes, this one stuck gold. It's like sticky toffee pudding and banana bread had a baby that now goes out on run clubs every weekend and parties on Oxford Street till the sun comes up.
It tastes naughty enough to be a dessert, but it's actually very clean. No oils, less sugar with the addition of date molasses that gives it that sticky toffee vibe, finished with a brushing of rosemary maple butter to give it a sticky, crunchy, chewy, floral exterior.
As you can probably tell, I'm into it and I think you guys will be too!

Funny story about this one.... I only had a small order to put through so I ordered something they never have in stock (Blackmore wagyu tri-tip) to get my order above the minimum...... Except this time they had it. So you lucky people get to try arguably Australia's finest wagyu with a glass of w**e for 20 bucks.
I won't say anything else apart from don't miss this one!

Coffee is the heart and soul of Pieno... Well it's the heart and soul of the city really. It's amazing to see all the strange, wonderful (and annoying) ways you all order your coffee (especially Sally).
That why we only use the best. Single O
Single O have been on the top of the coffee game for years and if you ever visited or lived in Sydney, you've heard of them for the right reasons. That's why we're so proud to use them at the cafe!
