Looking
for
a
place
for
family
Sunday
brunch,
on
an
overcast
Sunday,
we
chose
Distrikt
Coffee
in
Mitte
for
their
pouched
eggs
and
naturally,
a
fix
of
good
coffee.
On
arrival,
we
had
to
cue
to
get
a
table.
The
announced
20
minute
wait
though,
seemed
quite
shorter
and
we
were
led
to
a
table
which
also
had
sufficient
space
for
the
pram
of
our
1
year
old
daughter.
After
the
wait,
our
expectations
were
high.
The
staff
was
friendly
and
accommodating
throughout.
The
menu
is
rather
lean
and
seems
to
cater
a
lot
for
the
Vs
of
the
patronage.
We
ordered
the
Avocado
on
sour
dough
bread
with
sunflower
seeds
and
two
poached
eggs
and
a
serving
of
the
French
toast
with
blueberry,
caramelised
walnuts,
maple
syrup
and
créme
fraiche
for
the
ladies,
Cappuccino,
iced
latte
and
a
plain
coffee
(filter)
The
avocado
poached
eggs
combo
was
served
out
reasonably
well,
and
having
a
salad
other
than
the
usual
ruccola
was
pleasing
to
the
eye
and
the
mouth.
The
poached
eggs
however,
whilst
looking
near
perfect
when
served,
turned
out
to
be
uneven
cooked.
Admittedly,
it
is
an
art
as
well
as
a
skill
to
perfectly
poach
eggs.
But
once
decided
to
put
them
on
the
menu,
one
should
aim
for
that
artistic
perfection
-
consistently.
Half
the
yolk
was
solid,
whilst
the
egg
white
the
other
side
was
still
runny.
A
matter
of
timing
and
movement
I'd
dare
say.
The
"green
Goddess"
dressing
was
rather
subtle,
too
subtle
to
be
tasted
or
seen.
The
french
toast
was
served
with
two
rather
thick,
no,
i
should
say
fat
slices.
Buried
under
a
generous
serving
of
blueberry
confit
and
a
even
more
generous
dollop
of
créme
fraiche,
the
combination
if
the
two
working
rather
well
and
the
maple
syrup
coming
through
it
all
too.
Whilst
overall
enjoyable,
nit
something
to
come
back
for
specifically.
The
cappuccino
was
middle
of
the
road,
the
iced
latte
nothing
special
either,
both
sure
nothing
to
mention
at
home
and
the
filter
coffee,
for
my
taste
too
weak
and
lacking
a
proper
base
or
developing
flavour.
Then
again,
i
am
an
Arabica
Coffee
man.
The
service
was
good
throughout
and
the
fast
accommodation
of
us
with
toddler
was
very
much
appreciated.
But
our
expectations
not
met
after
the
wait.
