Clipper Cafe, Glebe

Clipper Cafe, Glebe

No menus, all the food available was written on a big chalkboard, so we ordered from that. No paper – they didn't write down our order, it was electronic. So we went in, some girl came up to the table and said, “Hi, can I get you guys a drink?” and we said yes, and told her what we wanted, and she went and entered them all into an electronic cash register, without writing down anything. Same with the food. Very carbony footprinty thingy, not having paper or pens.

Coffee
Suzanne 5/5 it's the best coffee in Glebe. Even the orange juice is nice. (had a small mocha, and an orange juice)
Sofia 4/5 (Americano with side of skim milk)
Lizzie 5/5 (had a large soy mocha, and then a small soy mocha) it is caramelly. I agree that it's the best coffee in Glebe, it even rivals Cafe Newtown
Bec (had a large mocha) 4/5 (a happie four)
John (had a hot chocolate) 4/5

Sofia said “I'll know a 5/5 when I come to it”, and Suzanne and I gave the coffee 5/5 at this cafe. I was wondering whether I was judging by default, giving it a 5/5 because of lack of choices, when I secretly know that one day there will be a coffee in a cafe that blows my mind – no that's idealistic. I asked Sofia, thinking of idealism in the background, whether she had ever had a 5/5 coffee. She said she has, the coffee she makes at home on a machine or something is a 5/5. Oh well.

Food
John – the salt is amazing. It was in rock form in a cup with a spoon. Sea salt. 4/5
Liz I had the eggy crumpets with bacon and maple syrup. The crumpets had the eggs on/in them. Oh my god something about the sweet and sour together – maple syrup and crumpets vs eggs and baconb – hmmm. I had a sugar rush as well as my usual rush I get from eating bacon and other fried, fatty food. 4.5/5
Suz – It was nice, it needed something more on there. Also it's not my preference to have tomato, bacon and egg together – get rid of the tomato. 3.5/5
Bec – it was delicious. Had eggy crumpets as well. 3/5
Sofia – didn't order food. This is usual. assume average - 4

Atmosphere
Suzanne – I like it. it's sunny. I'm comfortable with the noise level. +10, they're playing the Americal Beauty soundtrack. 3.5/5
Lizzie – it's too noisy, in terms of the normal noise and the sound system. It had shelves with things on them around the cafe – one was a Qantas hat. 2/5
Sofia - 3/5
John- 4/5
Bec – 3.5/5

Total score: 22 + 23 + 16 = 61/75
