Little Stove

Yesterday we decided to cafe it up. My first choice was The Dancing Goat which I had heard good things about and had the cutest name! But it was already 2pm, and I just found out that they closed at 12:30pm on Saturdays which was slightly disappointing. And so, after surfing the net I came across Little Stove which also had a very cute name. Reviews said it was a hidden gem with an amazing setting so I figured I would check it out since it was open til 5pm.

Skinny Cappucino

Chips and Aioli

Chicken salad

We ordered a warm chicken salad with oranges and pinenuts, chips with aioli and a coffee. The coffee was pretty average to be honest. It wasn't the worst I've had (UWA Village Cafe or Oxford 130). But it was far from the best. The chips were somewhat crunchy, but had a weird taste to them which I think was due to the oil they were fried in. My friend liked them though. The aioli also had one gigantic chunk of garlic in it which scared us at first because we thought it was a chunk of chip left over from a previous user of the sauce (i.e. we initially thought they reused the sauce, which would have been disgusting!!! - But luckily we were wrong). The salad was bland and the orange was a weird addition which did not work on this occasion. I've had a blood orange salad at Van's Sidewalk Cafe which was pretty tasty. The chicken was okay to eat but lacked flavour as well, but I'm a chicken lover so it was okay to me. The main reason why I chose the salad was because of the pinenuts which made the salad somewhat enjoyable for me because I absolutely love pinenuts!

The food wasn't awful but definitely wasn't fantastic. I liked the look of the cafe with lots of wood and a fireplace but it wasn't in the most convenient location and the food was too average for me to go out of my way to return.
