In the last year or so Hunters Hill has become increasingly more popular with new cafes and restaurants opening up all the time. Being a Hunters Hill local I certainly have my favourites and Stain is definitely one of them.
My family and I have been going to stain since it's opening/ upgrade quite frequently and I almost always will choose Stain over the abundance of new cafes Hunters Hill has to offer. Stain has a rustic and modern- industrial feel throughout the cafe with groovy music playing the whole time. The owners have done great things with such a small space. Sitting both inside and outside is equally as enjoyable.
A lot of people come and go ordering takeaway coffees and will stand at the counter talking endlessly. It's so lovely to hear everyone cheer up as the baristas and waitstaff always engage in conversation. The customer service at Stain is always impeccable. The staff create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all of their customers, whether ordering takeaway or sitting down for a meal.

I knew that I wanted to blog about Stain at some point, so Recently my friend Holly and I went there for a late lunch.
Both of us ordered a coffee; a cappuccino for myself and a chai latte for Holly.
Even though Stain doesn't specifically do all day breakfast, we both ordered things on the breakfast menu and they didn't seem to mind. I ordered the Bacon Benedict from the menu, with poached eggs, saffron infused hollandaise on house made potato rosti and added avocado (obviously).
Holly ordered the Stain Big Breakfast with eggs, bacon, tomato, mushrooms, sausage and organic sourdough. Holly gave me a tomato and mushroom and both were to die for. They had been marinated in what tasted like a balsamic vinegar or something of the sort and was seriously so good.
I have tried plenty of other things on the menu in the past, such as the french toast and the grilled chicken sandwich. I haven't been able to fault anything thus far and I will continue to be a Stain regular.

Stain also has a cafe in Lane Cove which I haven't been to but is apparently really kid- friendly, but some more features of the Hunters Hill branch, is that there are vegan, gluten free and vegetarian options. (which to be fair, is most places these days, but it's good to know!)
