Acland Street Sunday Outing

Beef Burger for Sandra, hold the lettuce and tomatoes, $13.50

My bro and I have gotten into the habit of embarking on little outings on Sunday afternoons - shopping, restaurants for lunch, that sort of thing - and last week we decided to head to Acland St, an visited an old favourite of ours, Leroy Espresso.

Hehe, love it! Wish I could have had a sign like that at my previous jobs.

Leroy Espresso offers friendly service, great coffee and yummy food. I am soo not, never have been, trendy/hippy/alternative/bohemian/cool enough for the St Kilda crowd, but I find Leroy to be refreshingly attitude-free. It used to be my family's regular haunt for weekend breakfasts about 4 years back, but we seemed to have stopped visiting after a while - I suppose it's because our conflicting work schedules made it increasingly difficult to organise family fun time, and St Kilda is a fair while away from our neck of the woods. I am happy to report it was just as good as I remembered.


Latte! Check out the superdense foam... I think it was $3??

My bro Dan ordered the Spag Bol - "It tastes like the 70's". Price forgotten.

Chicken burger for me, with juicy marinated chicken pieces, sundried tomatoes, avocado, lettuce and aioli, on crispy crispy bread. And fries! $13.50

And because too much is never enough, after hitting a few shops, we ended up at San Churro's for (duh) churros and chocolate.

Classic Spanish Hot Chocolate (approx $5.50??) - dark and not too thick. I love the bulbous round mugs; it makes you feel like you're worshipping the gods of chocolate as you drink.

The above picture includes:

Churros with milk chocolate - crispy donuts with an insaaanely good melted milk chocolate dipping sauce.
Affogato - espresso shot over a scoop of white chocolate ice-cream. This was Su's order, not mine, but she said it was fantastic.
Pretty latte swirl
MMM... chocolate....


I'm sorry for being a total ditz about the prices - I'm guessing that the coffee was about $3, the churros would have been about $9, and the affogato around $4~5 but I can't remember exactly.

Happy, super-full, and sugar-satiated, we made the long drive back to the eastern suburbs, all vowing that we'd be living on salads and fruit for the next week. Hah!
