Brown Sugar Cafe is located on Block Place, a small alley situated between Collins and Little Collins st. Block Place is a beautiful little alley full of cafes. We were very hungry and craving good coffee. Every corner of this alley was packed with people so you just have to take it easy as you make your way through the crowd.
It has just been raining and some of the tables and chairs were still wet. We found a table but the waiter kindly showed us to another table which was dry. Having a look at the menu the prices seamed reasonable., 15$ - 25$ (AUD) a meal. I ordered a cappuccino and Margarita pizza, while my partner ordered a mochachino with Eggs Benedict. The service was very nice and prompt. Our coffees arrived shortly after we made the order. The quality of the coffee was very satisfying, and seemed to quench our desperate craving for caffeine.
The food arrived about 20 minutes later. The Margarita pizza resembled a pizza bread sprinkled with some salad leaves, and tasted like bread with canned tomatoes and cheese. The Eggs Benedict looked good, like what you would get at any other half descent cafe. Over the last two years in Wellington, New Zealand, I have eaten many Eggs benedict dishes, and after a while they all start to look the same. Both meals tasted pretty good, although I expected the pizza to taste a bit more like an actual pizza rather than a pizza bread. I was too hungry to really care though, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The food portion sizes were quite small for the amount that we paid. Each meal was roughly $15. I cannot remember how much the coffee price was, but I can remember that it was reasonable, same as what majority of the other cafes charge around Melbourne. Overall I would definitely come back to the place for the coffee but probably not for the food given the portion sizes. But that's just me though as my stomach tends to be a bottomless pit.
