NODO DONUTS, CBD: A delightful little corner café just on the fringes of the Brisbane CBD, they have a variety of different vegan desserts, especially donuts, as well as a very healthy brunch menu with delicious smoothies and hot drinks available. I love the refreshing sunlight that beams through the windows and the clean, bright interior. Overall, a lovely area for a healthy and vegan breakfast/lunch options and the flavours of the donuts themselves are tasty but not spectacular.
Chocolate Donut – $6.0
Chocolate for breakfast! Chocolate donut + Hot Chocolate 🙂
The good fat: Very happy with the balance of flavours in the donut as it wasn’t overly sweet or chocolatey. The donut itself was quite light and fluffy and quite a tasty option as a light breakfast or snack on the go!
The bad fat: Tasted quite simple, similar to a chocolate mud cake you get from the supermarket so it was slightly bland and doughy in terms of texture.
Fat-o-meter: 3.5/5
Mushroom Burger (Quinoa Bun, Activated Black Charcoal Mushroom, Kale, Romesco, Caramelised Onion, Rosemary Garlic Cashew Cream) – $16.0
Look how huge and fat that mushroom patty is!
The good fat: The mushroom patty was deliciously fat and flavoursome – especially for mushroom lovers, there were huge, tasty pieces towards the middle and the patty had a great crunch surrounding the outside. The onion and kale gave a fresh crunch and the cashew cream underneath provided an interesting dimension of a slightly spicy flavour (kind of like kimchi). Delicious and filling breakfast!
The bad fat: The mushroom patty can get quite strong and it would’ve been better to be offset but some sort of subtler sauce just pulling it back a bit – but of course that’s not a problem for avid mushroom lovers!
