About Elsie's

Food at Elsie's

Breakfast and lunch are the focus, with sweet toast and hotcakes alongside crumbed dishes served with poached eggs and grilled sourdough. Regulars keep naming the hotcakes, which arrive golden and fluffy, and the apple toast with butter or ricotta. One visitor's hotcakes came with banana, honeycomb ice-cream and maple syrup, and a side of bacon and hash browns suits anyone wanting something savoury. The cabinet also carries Tuga pastries, honey cake, pandan cake and muffins. Vegetarian dishes are on the menu, and staff have left the nut crumble off a hotcake on request.
