Contessa is one of those cozy cafes in Balmain area that has been around for a long time. The cafe has a very warm ambient and very friendly staff. The cafe also has some outdoor sitting for customers to get some fresh air and sunlight.
Besides, who doesn’t love this painting on this wall? SEXY~~~
Fraggaccino
For the kids out there, this is for you. Cute little fraggacino with marshmallow baby. Cutuest drink I have ever seen.
Piccolo Latte
Lovely coffee can be found here using The Ground’s coffee beans.
Spaghetti con gamberi $19.5
A true Italian pasta dish with garlic prawn, chilli, tomato, rocket. It’s classic and basic. Love the fresh tomato and prawn taste. Portion size is very decent, good for hungry people out there.
Spicy chipotle beans & Chorizo AUD 19.5
Contessa is very picky with their bread. For sure you are going to find some delicious carb heavy dishes here. These toasted organic sourdough are perfectly crunchy but not too hard that would cut your mouth. The runny fried egg, chorizo, guac, and fresh salsa balanced out each other nicely. It’s just heavenly!
Nutella Brioche French Toast $18.5
Lastly, you can’t come here without dessert. Their French Toast is really famous and we have tried the Nutella one which one out of this world. The buttery soft brioche is warm and the melted Nutella on top is just as good as you can imagined. The toasted coconut flakes and strawberries cut through that sweetness a little bit but it’s surprisingly not overly sweetened even with that lovely maple syrup drizzled all over.
Verdict
You can feel like home because the customers and the staffs are super friendly. The food is comforting and satisfying and the dessert is not to be missed. Their Nutella French Toast is definitely phenomenal.
