Somewhere in the suburb of Nedlands in Perth is Ned’s which serves wonderful coffee. Teri-Ann’s assistant Susan recommended the place so the first thing I did on the little free time I had was to go immediately to Ned’s to sample the coffee. You get a good balance of that in this macchiato. What I am liking about the coffee in Australia is the subtle hint of sweetness that doesn’t overpower the bitter coffee.

The orange and almond loaf was a nice treat as well. It’s moist and the zing of the oranges is a good compliment to the rush of caffeine from the coffee. Bitter, sour and sweet; plus the creamy frothy milk equals the best breakfast I have had in Australia so far.

I took my old college friend Anjo, now based in Perth to Ned’s when we met up and sampled their meals. Everything on the display looks good only to be disappointed after tasting the risotto and quiche. Even if we asked them to reheat these, the quiche was cold inside.

The risotto was a little rubbery and not all the rice was cooked so you get bits every now and then of rice grains with hard centers.

So if you find yourself in Ned’s, grab a cup of coffee and maybe a sweet pastry to go with it. I loved this Afogatto.
