One day my daughter and I were doing a Kensington walkabout, when we happened upon this cute little breakfast/lunch spot called 'The Daily' hidden below Higher Ground. Despite being underground the space is bright and cheery. It's the perfect place to have the first meal of your day in. In fact, I wish that I lived nearby so I could do that more often.
We really weren't planning on staying, but one look at the menu lured us to a comfy spot in the back room...which seemed vaguely familiar to me. Ah yes, this place used to be a lingerie store called the Cat's Pygamas!
In my excitement, I had forgotten that I had walked in with a coffee from Vintage Coffee Company and offered to get rid of it when the server came by. She was really nice and poured it into a coffee mug, then binned the take out coffee cup. Really, it's not something I do EVER but I appreciate that she allowed me to keep the coffee.
My daughter was very happy with her vegan pancakes (the huge reason we were lured in by the menu) and I was extremely happy with my Last Best Burger. The beer sauteed mushrooms and beer infused mustard captured enough beer flavour to make this one amazing burger. Fresh tomato and grilled pepper soup was made just that morning and I was impressed with the flavours, though I did add a bit of salt as it was under seasoned. I would much rather add my own salt, then have a dish be inedible because it's too salty.
I love this place. Really love it. I hope people discover this little breakfast/lunch gem in Kensington and keep it around for a long time!
