Friends Cafe Papamoa

It’s fair to say some of the Favourite Husband’s thriftiness is rubbing off on me. Earlier in the week I passed Friends cafe with a sign advertising a mid-week breakfast deal. Could we shoehorn this in as opposed to a dinner date? Would the money saved go in to my back pocket for my facelift fund? The answer to both of these ponderous questions was “Hell yes.” So Thursday morning saw me take the Favourite Husband to Friends cafe. When I’ve previously walked past, I often see the staff chatting with people seated outside. So Friends looked friendly. Plus Matthew Perry and all that … well you get my drift. And I was right (obvs) super nice staff, very smiley, quick service and just an all round good feel. I went with the smashed avo, a side of bacon and I asked for the toast on the side. The Favourite Husband, not known for any spontaneity or breaking the chains of confinement, went with the usual big breakkie. Holy macaroni, there must have been two avocados on my plate. Absolute taste sensation. With crumbled feta, red onion and lemon. The bacon was perfect and the toast was duly on the side as requested. There was so much I actually couldn’t finish it. And I’m a glutton so … And the same with the big breakkie, great presentation, huge amount of food, piping hot, and decadent garlic roasted potato to top it all off. The coffee was hot and strong. Much like the Favourite Husband. As we left we agreed that a mid-week breakkie date here could become a regular thing. Great work Friends.
