Brunch with the Local Folk
Local folk is a trendy little gem hidden away on the avenue styled end of Epsom road. Their menu is comprised of many brunch type options and they do gluten free bread prepared in a separate toasted and with separate tools. The eggs benedict was fantastic with perfectly poached runny on the inside eggs, a delicious in house hollandaise and smoked ham.The gluten free bread was crunchy and everything was perfectly tied together with guacamole. The dish was just large enough to fill me without making me uncomfortable. If you are in the area and enjoy brunch you should seek out this wonderful cafe.
