2042

I spotted 2042 in one of my (many) traipsing though Newtown. On the day, it looked invitingly cheerful and the people looked happy to be there so I made a mental note to give it a go. The "go" opportunity arose when John and I decided we needed brekky at midday yesterday. 

And tell you what, I like it. 

The place is set-up like an Italian deli where a wide array of cheeses, charcuterie, relishes, breads and other goodies greeted you like long-lost friends, and the service staff treat you like one as well. If I have to nitpick and I will, it will have to be the so-called "Free High Speed Internet" where it under-delivered on an over-promise - it is free but so not high speed. Anyhow if and when you find yourself in Newtown, give 2042 a go. 

Oh, in case you haven't figure it out, 2042 is also the postcode of the cafe's location. There!



Rustic charm of 2042's interior.



At last count, there were 29 varieties of cheese.



So pretty, right?



What I'd call the Cozy Corner, if not for the three moms who took over the whole area with their little brats ones. Have you noticed how gigantic prams have become? One of the mom even pushed her pram around as though it is a battering ram, expecting diners to make way with nary an "excuse me". How bloody rude.



For the little brats people.



Look what they did to my flat-white!



John's Wagyu beef sanger, with melted cheese and arugula.



My scrambled eggs with spicy chorizo and tiny tomatoes on turkish bread - fabulously delicious.



The menu - simple and non-fussed.
