West Australian Black Swan

Posted in Barista, Latte Art, Uncategorized with tags , , , , on July 9, 2008 by espresso54

Being a West Aus Cafe we thought we’d add that touch to our latte art with a coffee swan.

Over the past couple of weeks Dale has been working on this free-pour swan design, with a rosetta body and a heart for a head this one has been quite popular with the customers.

Another new look for 54 are the breakfast mushrooms, button mushrooms stuffed with a tomato and onion filling grilled to perfection. Garnished with parmesan and basil they add that extra flavour to our cooked full breakfast. Also available as a side with eggs on toast.

Hi everyone,
Hope you enjoyed your Anzac long weekend, here at 54 we were busy with the new member of our team – no Jessie hasn’t had the baby still another 2 months left now. Over the past few weeks now Michael known to all of us as ‘dad’ has been on his hands and knees creating yet another solid jarrah benchtop, this one is a simular design as the one on which our synesso sits, just a little lighter and smaller in length.

So dad now needs a bit of a break from the sanding, mineral turpentine and being on his knees from dawn to dusk to begin his next project – a jarrah outdoor dining table for home.

So first day in for the bench it has recieved some great appreciation, which we will be sure to pass on. For those of you who don’t know, not only is Michael the carpenter and owner of Cafe 54 but also he is the quality control. Earlier this year we attended the 2008 Western Australian Barista Championship held at the Perth Town Hall, just up the road from 54, dad competed for the first time and came in with 3rd place. To read a little about the championships check out the 5senses news:

To complement our new benchtop is our winter menu available in store this week and up online by the end of the week. Until then…
