the shortlist, darlington

Little Marionette coffee. 258 Abercrombie St, Darlington. Many years ago when I was studying at Sydney Uni, this part of Darlington was a run of shops, not cafes. Now there are a number of different spots to grab a coffee, but the one with the most promising supply of beans is this one.

From a narrow menu, I pick the roast mushrooms on toast, with feta. It's a good flavour mix, well made, and quite filling - it looks like the food here is very good.

Coffee is really well made. There's a decaf grinder on the bench, and - though they're a bit slow when things are busy - it's a really good drop. Worth a visit for the food, and for the coffee.
