The menu here at Daisy's was quite extensive with options for breakfast, lunch, tea or dessert. I must say that the breakfast and lunch options here were fairly standard compared to other cafes in Sydney. However, if you're in a for a real retro treat, the desserts sounded amazing and simply ideal for a romantic sweet date with salted caramel banana split, icecream sandwich and sundaes on offer!
The zucchini and corn fritters were a tad disappointing as I was expecting them to be crunchy. What I did get was like a wet corn and zucchini pancake. I did like the tangy tomato and onion relish and creamy smooth mint yoghurt...but it wasn't that spectacular.

On the other hand, the banana pikelets were a delight! I've shared before that I'm not a huge fan of bananas but these won me over! These pikelets were fruity and fluffy and paired beautifully with the caramelised banana and raspberry coulis. What I loved most was the decadent luxurious smooth maple butter...I could probably spoon that on my toast each morning if I could. Simply delicious and cinnamony!

Daisy's Milkbar is also known for their milkshake specials. On the day I went, the special on offer was pancake which didn't sound that appealing as it reminded me of gluggy pancake batter mix! I decided to get the Double Roasters cappuccino instead which was creamy, smooth and had lovely fruity tones.
