Every time I go to Coogee Beach I always go and eat Burritos at The Beach Burrito Company but today I felt like something different. I haven't tried any of the cafes at Coogee Beach so since the sun came up my friend and I decided to try Tropicana cafe.
Tropicana cafe is a small cafe located a few minutes away from the beach and is along Coogee Bay Road. When we entered the cafe we didn't know whether to go in and find a seat ourselves or wait to be seated but after waiting for a while we just decided to find our own seats. We weren't greeted by anyone, so we had to call for assistance and the waiter was not very nice when we asked for the menu.. maybe because we were so lost.. :P
We ordered the 'Eggs Benedict english muffin with leg ham, spinach, poached eggs & hollandaise sauce'- I had very high expectations with the eggs benedict, since I've eaten so many good ones in the past few weeks. We also ordered the 'Original Big Tropicana Breakfast with scrambled bacon, sausage, tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, hash brown & toast'- this is definitely BIG.. my friend and I shared both dishes and we couldn't finish the big breakfast, so if you're extremely hungry this is the dish for you :)
The prices of the dishes are standard for cafe food and you get actually get value for money because the portions are very big and generous.

Eggs Benedict english muffin with leg ham, spinach, poached eggs & hollandaise sauce
So disappointed with the poached eggs as it was wayyy overcooked! There was no runny yolk :( Disapointed. The whole dish was also very salty, I think it was mainly the hollandaise sauce and the leg ham. Overall, this dish was not very good and i was not too satisfied with it. However they were very generous with the ham.

The Big Tropicana Breakfast has a very generous amount of each component of food :) but I was way too full to actually enjoy it haha! My friend really enjoyed eating it :) It's just a standard breakfast meal, nothing too special.
Overall, I'm not that happy with the experience at Tropicana Cafe, most likely I won't be going back for awhile. On the bright side it was a nice place to catch up with my friend :)
