Cafe Stella

I picked Mum up from the airport in the morning and we headed beachside for some breakfast, settling on Henley Square as a suitable location. Stella’s outside seating overlooking the grass, jetty and beach won us over.
The toddler enjoyed running around on the grass, chasing «boidies» and looking at all the «peepl» coming and going while Mum and I got down to the serious business of ordering coffees and food — two soft poached eggs on toast for Mum and the «Claypot» for me.
A high chair was brought out and the reluctant todder wrangled into it, lured by the Dora colouring-​in book and pencils provided by Grandma. Food soon appeared, the Claypot is a dish of two poached eggs in a rich tomato sauce with pumpkin and white beans. Very tasty but could have used more than one smallish piece of toast to soak up all that yummy sauce. Mum was happy with her eggs cooked the way she likes and the toddler munched on a few «greps» I’d brought along.
It was a beautiful morning and we lingered over our enjoyable breakfast and added another coffee to the tally while the toddler got another run. Service was attentive and polite, food great, setting perfect. A thoroughly enjoyable way to kick off our day.
