About Daark Espresso

When on the hunt for the best breakfast in Chirn Park, head down Musgrave Avenue to find well-loved café Daark Espresso. An institution among professional brunchers, Daark is always buzzing with coffee lovers relaxing on the wrap-around deck; or join the lively chatter indoors where whitewashed walls, blond wood table settings, polished concrete floors and trailing greenery set the scene for memorable meals. Stop in after an early morning walk for crispy herbed potato hash Benedict, with wilted spinach, poached eggs, lime Hollandaise, truffle oil, fried onions and smoked salmon; later diners appease hunger with choices like a tender pulled lamb salad, spinach, chickpeas, tomatoes, mint, parsley, pickled onion, yoghurt, lemon dressing and dukkah, enjoyed with a glass of Barossa Valley Rosé.

Morning tea out with the girls
Lovely coffee and food, very helpful staff, little bit crowded but enough room, have been wanting to go there for a while, glad we did.

Gravel in food, chipped tooth
Normally I'm the person to hate posting reviews, especially negative ones. However, this morning i visited for breakfast eith my girlfriend and when she bit into the croquettes she ordered she chipped her tooth on a piece of gravel or rock that was cooked inside the food. Staff seemed apologetic but now having to sort out it getting fixed at a dentist their solution was simply to cancel one meal from the bill. Real shame seeing as we were regulars who previously loved the Cafe.
