Little Oink 22 Cook Place, Cook, Australian Capital Territory 2614

"On arriving at Little Oink in Cook, the adorable pig sculpture at the entrance hinted at the quirky charm of this cafe. The buzzing atmosphere inside was palpable, with patrons of all kinds contributing to a lively ambience. I opted for the creatively named "Bbbbbbbenny And The Eggs", Little Oink's rendition of the classic Eggs Benedict. Served on toasted 3 mills sourdough with a generous layer of spinach, it featured a succulent roasted pork shoulder, perfectly poached eggs, and a rich hollandaise sauce. The overall flavour profile was delightful, although I did find the spinach to be slightly overwhelming in proportion. My companion indulged in the "Parlez-Vous Français Toast", a sweet concoction of pressed French toast embellished with candied orange, caramel, and topped with citrus meringue. It was a hit for those with a sweet tooth. To complement our meals, we chose a refreshing juice and the Protein Smoothie, a satiating blend of banana, peanut butter, vanilla protein powder, and almond milk. Both beverages were spot on. While Little Oink has much to offer in terms of taste and ambiance, there's always a little room for perfecting the balance in some dishes. That said, it's a place I'd certainly revisit and recommend."

"In Belconnen, there is a serious lack of nice casual eateries like this one where parking doesn't involve driving around the block until a spot becomes vacant. Love the atmosphere, and the food is usually very good. (My favourite is their mushrooms on sourdough!) Staff are always pleasant, and in our experience, the food arrives fairly quickly after being ordered. We'll keep going back...."

"A very comfortable atmosphere, excellent service, and most importantly, delicious food and coffee. Many people visit on weekends. It looked good to eat outdoors when the weather was good."

"I have been to this little cafe several times over the past few years. It is certainly a convenient meeting point for walkers and runners, and those with a dog, as there is outdoor as well as indoor seating. The food and coffee is generally good. I feel the service is variable (especially over the last few months) and possibly related to not enough staff during busy periods. Terribly disappointed recently when a booking made the previous day was not recorded."
