Prosciutto Focaccia

from Hendrys Coffee

Nov 20258.5 / 10

with house-made basil pesto, olive oil, tomato, cheese & rocket on house focaccia

It was one of those mornings where gym absolutely wiped me out and I left feeling extra hungry, so I swung by Hendry’s Coffee for a quick brekkie. This was the Waterloo branch, literally right across from the metro. Usually their sandwiches are pre-made, but because I went early, they made it fresh on the spot. No complaints from me.

I actually meant to order the mortadella (wasn’t really in the mood for tomato today), but I think something got lost in translation and I walked off with the prosciutto instead. Didn’t notice until I left 😂.

That said, the prosciutto was tasty, so no big drama. I’m pretty easy when it comes to sandwiches — it’s early, mistakes happen. I couldn’t really taste the basil pesto though, either it was super light or it didn’t make it in. The focaccia itself was great: light, airy, and nicely toasted. Super fresh vibe overall and it did exactly what I needed, made me happy and filled me up.

A few hiccups, sure, but still a nice, simple, satisfying eat.
