Both C and J decided to visit Three Williams after C had heard about this notorious cafe. On a Sunday afternoon we drove to Elizabeth St, hoping to see what all the fuss was about. Much to our delight, there was a parking spot for us on this rainy day. As we walk past a couple of artsy looking furniture stores, we almost missed Three Williams, expecting the cafe to be only small in size. We peered through the glass window and was amazed at how big the space was, filled with people - happily scoffing down food and coffees.
As soon as we entered we were greeted by a friendly staff member who advised us we would have to wait about 20 minutes as there were a couple of other patrons also in the queue. Within 5 or so minutes, a table opened up and we were able to take a seat and glance upon the menu.
The menu consisted of a couple of pages, one including a breakfast and lunch menu and another containing drinks and coffees. We were greeted by a friendly fellow who asked if we wanted anything to drink and we decided to get our usuals, Mocha and a latte to start.
White Coffee $3.50
Atmosphere: We sat in between other diners close to the kitchen and had a good glimpse of our surrounding. The feel to this place was very relaxing, dim and had a modern touch. As we walked in, we could not help but to overlook and scan the whole room with the counter and coffee machine strategically positioned in the lower centre of the room, while the kitchen being further behind. There were tables aligned from left to right from each corner, which was very neat. The feel to this place was crisp and structured.

Service: Food did not come out after 15-20 minutes, considering how busy it was on a rainy day with five kitchen hand, we did not wait fairly long. After having to order our meals, the service attendant also suggested the crunchy brioche french toast for dessert, but we decided to see how we were feeling after eating our meals. When exiting we made our way to the front counter and C could not go past without collecting one of their business cards.
Beautiful Single Origins Roasters Coffee.

Food: Prior to looking at the menu after having seen numerous pictures of round deep fried looking balls posted on Instagram, were the fish croquettes. These fish potato balls were amazing accompanied with the aioli dipping and a squeeze of lemon. The one that stood out for both of us was called the Merchant, which made it quite the obvious number. It is always C's idea to choose the other dish, which was the smashed avocado with baked beans. Glad there was sea salt on table as it needed a bit of seasoning. It seemed like we were given a whole avocado by the generous amount of serving which soon enough filled us up from both these dishes.
Fish croquettes with lemon and aioli $3 each
The Merchant $13 (Fried egg, cripsy bacon, pickled slaw, ranch dressing on a bun.)
Spicy smashed beans with avocado and poached eggs on toast $16
Perfectly poached eggs. Runny, just the way it's suppose to be.

Would definitely come back to visit to try other things on the menu and particularly one of the smoothies as many patrons did order cold drinks that afternoon. Overall absolutely RATE IT! Until next time.
Much love from J and C
