I'm not really a fan of Lygon Street and this trip to Small Block has it's little surprises. Lygon Street actually reaches out from the city to Brunswick East and the numbers start over. Good thing DG drove us to this place, or else we'll be walking 3kms from the city-side Lygon Street to the Brunswick East-side.
For the most part, Small Block reminds me of Porgie and Jones except that Porgie's coffee is prompt and nice, while Small Block's late and weak. Coffee should be ordered first and will mostly likely arrive midway through the meal. Most of us are not used to having breakfast with water. I need coffee with my brunch.Breakfast/brunch options are a bit inspired but not ambitious. DG thinks the brunch lacks flavor. I had the Buck Rarebit. It's toasted bagel with whole grain mustard, melted gruyere, grilled asparagus, poached eggs and chilli jam. It's tasty but it's still missing something else.
We decided to order muffins because we were not satisfied. Additional coffee was in order. Muffins arrived. Coffee came after. Not a good sign. They need more baristas.
