Chat Time Cafe, Dural

On a visit to Mr. A's grandmother in Glenhaven for her birthday she took us to Chat Time Cafe for brunch. 

It is a small cafe located inside Dural Mall cornered by Aldi, Woolies and a Bakers Delight, with a large overhead roof that still manages to let in good light. This is probably not the place for formal fanciness but does well for a casual meetup or in between popping in to the shops with the family.

One of the first nice things we noticed was that there were little throws on some of the chairs! So you could wrap yourself in one if you were cold. How nice! Then the waiter came out and suggested we move from the round table to a bigger table (which could have easily seated 6 people) so we could be more comfortable. He mentioned that breakfast was served all day and when we mentioned we already had breakfast he suggested a second breakfast! Ha! Funny guy. 

I ordered a double slice melt of avocado, mushroom and eggplant: 

$10 for 1 slice, $14-16 for two (can't remember exactly)

I wanted to go for something "light" since I wasn't that hungry and then the double-slice came and I was thinking I had just eaten breakfast and I wasn't that hungry!! But I ate the whole thing anyway cos it was so delicious. Crunchy crust with soft bread topped with a thick layer of avocado, mushrooms and eggplant topped with a ridiculous fantastic layer of cheese. If you are not that hungry: do not order the double slice, because your jeans will hurt. 

Mr. A had a vegetarian wrap which was basically a double wrap so we probably should have just shared that, and it also looked very nice. I was too worried about trying to finish mine to try some of his. He mentioned that in the Sydney CBD our meals would probably be $20 odd - I wouldn't be surprised. 

A group of young boys (approx 9 or 10 years of age) next to us ordered really tall thickshakes and some fried chicken schnitzel strips. This place is very family friendly with a kids menu including Fairy Bread ($2). If only there was a child in our group so I could order some. 

Another table ordered some french toast with bacon, also some beef burgers; everything that was served up looked great. Service was smooth and the ambience on the whole was very relaxing, peaceful and cozy, and great for catch-ups.

Inside the shop there is a display of cakes which Mr. A's grandma kept encouraging us to try. Unfortunately we were too full again (on hindsight we could have shared a meal and shared a cake, but alas). Mr. A's grandma ordered a cappuccino to finish off her meal, which was a rather large cup and served with a complimentary wafer biscuit. 

If I was ever in the area again, I would love to go for a repeat visit.

  1. I do pop by Dural way a time or two each year. Coupled with its close proximity to my love, Aldi, this place dun sound too shabby. Old Man Ivanhoe
