When you’re on holiday, particularly if you (or a family member) have a food intolerance or dietary need, it may be difficult to find somewhere that caters for you. When in Albany, be sure to check out The Alkaline Café, those with gluten free, dairy free, paleo or vegan diets will be positively spoilt for choice. And the café is also very kid friendly!
The popular spot is known for a nourishing menu, packed with fresh food. It’s a go-to for locals that are health conscious. There are no processed foods or nasty additives here, just beautifully prepared organic and whole foods.
There is a cute-as-a-button kids play corner, with old school desk, in keeping with the vintage feel of the café. It’s well stocked with toys, books, colouring and more to keep little ones entertained.
There isn’t a kids menu as such, though any dishes can be made half-size. There’s yummy fresh juices, as well as plenty of highchairs too.
I popped by for a coffee and light brekky, before I embarked on a walk up York Street, in the town’s centre. The bustling café has plenty to choose from on it’s menu, as well as a wide range of drinks – and very good coffee!
I ordered a slice of fruit toast ($12), served with fresh fruit and house made sunflower seed butter. The toast was dense and delicious.
Be sure to check out the sweet treats (that are actually good for you!) in the cabinet. Open for breakfast, lunch and coffee n’ cake the quirky café is spacious, has good vibes and friendly service too.
Find the Alkaline Café at Unit 1/89 Frederick Street, Albany.
