Loose Caboose

The Loose Caboose is a café and coffee roaster on First Street Hindmarsh just behind the Governor Hindmarsh hotel.  The old Bowden Railway Station has been renovated into a marvellous eating area inside and outside.  The high ceilings and variety of timbers on the floors and tables create work well and the view over the train track reminds everyone that they are in an old railway station.  The menu offers breakfasts and lunches which take basic meals done in a very classy fashion.  I had sardines on toast for $19.50 but that included sour dough bread, a whole can of sardines (the can was served on the plate) and a salad featuring heirloom tomatoes.

 

The hot chocolate came in a blue ceramic cup and saucer.  The drink was topped with a white froth, a sprinkle of chocolate power and a latte art.  The chocolate flavour was dark and interesting.  It had a good level of sweetness but should have been richer.  The cost was $4.00.
