点评:We were staying at The Frontier Motel and The Cheeky Sparrow Café was only a couple of minutes walking distance. It was Saturday, 4 January 2025 and we arrived there at 5pm – it was a full house due to school holidays! The ambience of this café felt like home, nice indoor setting, tables evenly spaced out and plenty of elbow room and the chairs were nice and comfortable. You can dine in or outside but it was a very hot, sticky day and the lady at the café was so accommodating, she simply got the chairs from outside, brought them inside and set a table for us – she was super busy but didn’t seem phased, she beamed the CCC (cool, calm and collective) at a professional level. The menu is not your typical menu, they actually think outside of the box and spiced a few meals up because… why not? Burgers: ‘Hawaiian’; ‘Fried Halloumi’; ‘Spicy Bean & Quinoa Patty’ and of course your typical burgers as well – served with sweet potato chips… who would have thought? Gourmet Pizzas: ‘The Cook’s Special’; ‘Surf & Turf’; Tuscan Chicken & Bacon’; ‘Ring Stinger’; Satay Chicken’; ‘’Peri Peri Chicken’ and of course the traditional pizzas. Pastas and curries are available and their scones, slices and cakes are all homemade. We decided to have pizzas. You order and pay at the counter – they accept both cash and card and it is table service. I ordered ‘Meat Lovers’ (BBQ base with pepperoni, cabanossi, shredded pork, topped with cheese and bacon). My daughter ordered ‘Supreme’ (tomato base with pepperoni, shredded pork, mushroom, onions, capsicum, pineapple, topped with cheese and bacon). My wife ordered ‘The Cook’s Special’ (tomato base with pepperoni, fresh chilli, onion, topped with cheese, feta and jalapeños). We all agreed that the topping was generous and cooked to perfection, the crust was thin and crispy and definitely the highlight of the pizzas. The chef came out to see if we liked our pizzas but was super happy that we ordered ‘The Cook’s Special’ and doubly impressed that we ate all our large pizzas. We also told him that the pizza crusts are exceptional – he told us that they don’t make the pizza crusts, they order them because they don’t have the time to make the pizza crusts… there you go but still delicious regardless. We love their cold drinks selection, we bought Bundaberg Tropical Mango and Traditional Lemonade – highly recommend these drinks, the flavours “packs a punch” and the company is Australian family owned! Or you can simply drink free filtered water, from their water dispenser which is available on a table with clean glasses on the side – it’s DIY. And if you’re looking for gift ideas, The Cheeky Sparrow also have an array of products (beauty products, candles made out of bees wax, mugs / cups, soaps, fashion accessories, paintings, clothes and so on) to select and purchase. We were lucky enough to dine at The Cheeky Sparrow because the café is only opened on Fridays (11.30am to 8pm); Saturdays (11.30am to 7.30pm) and Sundays (11.30am to 5pm). I highly recommend this place – the staff went above and beyond, super friendly and the food was absolutely outstanding and delicious with high quality ingredients at a fair price and we left with happy tummies and experience. In fact, my daughters went to the café the following day to have another pizza experience for lunch and yes… it was ‘The Cook’s Special’ again.
翻译:我们住在 The Frontier Motel,The Cheeky Sparrow Café 距离这里只有几分钟的步行路程。那是 2025 年 1 月 4 日星期六,我们下午 5 点到达那里——由于学校放假,店里挤满了人!这家咖啡馆的氛围让人感觉像家一样,室内环境很好,桌子间隔均匀,有足够的活动空间,椅子舒适又美观。您可以在室内或室外用餐,但那天非常炎热潮湿,咖啡馆的女士非常热情,她只是从外面搬来椅子,把它们搬到室内,为我们摆了一张桌子——她非常忙,但似乎并不感到困扰,她以专业的水平展现了 CCC(冷静、镇定和集体)。菜单不是您的典型菜单,他们实际上打破了常规,为几顿饭增添了趣味,因为......为什么不呢?汉堡:“夏威夷”;“炸哈罗米”; “辣豆和藜麦馅饼”当然还有典型的汉堡——配上甘薯片......谁会想到呢?美食比萨:“厨师特供”;“Surf & Turf”;“托斯卡纳鸡肉和培根”;“Ring Stinger”;“沙爹鸡”;“Peri Peri 鸡”,当然还有传统比萨。提供意大利面和咖喱,烤饼、切片和蛋糕都是自制的。我们决定吃比萨。您在柜台点餐和付款——他们接受现金和信用卡,并且是餐桌服务。我点了“肉食爱好者”(烧烤底料配上意大利辣香肠、卡巴诺西香肠、猪肉丝,上面撒上奶酪和培根)。我女儿点了“至尊”(番茄底料配上意大利辣香肠、猪肉丝、蘑菇、洋葱、辣椒、菠萝,上面撒上奶酪和培根)。我妻子点了“厨师特制披萨”(番茄底配意大利辣香肠、新鲜辣椒、洋葱,上面撒上奶酪、羊乳酪和墨西哥辣椒)。我们都认为披萨的配料很丰富,烤得恰到好处,披萨饼皮又薄又脆,绝对是披萨的亮点。厨师出来看看我们是否喜欢我们的披萨,但他非常高兴我们点了“厨师特制披萨”,更让他印象深刻的是,我们吃完了所有的大披萨。我们还告诉他披萨饼皮非常特别——他告诉我们,披萨饼皮不是他们自己做的,他们点的披萨饼皮是因为他们没有时间做……就是这样,但不管怎样,披萨饼皮还是很美味。我们喜欢他们的冷饮选择,我们买了 Bundaberg 热带芒果和传统柠檬水——强烈推荐这些饮料,味道“劲道十足”,而且这家公司是澳大利亚家族企业!或者你也可以直接喝免费的过滤水,从他们的饮水机里喝,饮水机放在桌子上,旁边有干净的玻璃杯——这是 DIY。如果您正在寻找礼物创意,The Cheeky Sparrow 也有一系列产品可供选择和购买(美容产品、蜂蜡蜡烛、马克杯/杯子、肥皂、时尚配饰、绘画、衣服等)。我们很幸运能在 The Cheeky Sparrow 用餐,因为这家咖啡馆只在周五(上午 11:30 至晚上 8 点)、周六(上午 11:30 至晚上 7:30)和周日(上午 11:30 至下午 5 点)开放。我强烈推荐这个地方——员工们尽心尽力、超级友好,食物非常出色、美味,采用高品质的食材,价格公道,我们离开时肚子很饱,体验很棒。事实上,我的女儿们第二天又去了咖啡馆,吃了另一顿披萨,是的......又是“厨师的特别优惠”。
