A hidden gem in the suburbs, The Colour Nine on Mawson Street in Stafford Heights is a linger-worthy local café with real food style. Take a seat in the window on bright, cheery cushions or dine outside under market umbrellas and watch the world stroll by, while sipping on a coffee and enjoying a morning treat. Early risers may choose from jaffles with a twist, such as truffled mushrooms, chives and Parmesan, or dig into banoffee waffles with fresh banana, caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream and walnut praline. Those after a leisurely lunch can wrap their hands around a buttermilk chicken burger with maple bacon, crunchy slaw, house pickles and tangy mayo, or perhaps a tasty taco with chipotle and lime. Younger diners aren’t forgotten with little tacker eats such as bacon and egg on toast.
