Look, the hotcakes already come slathered in honeycomb butter and maple syrup.
Could you stop there? Sure. You could also buy sensible shoes and go to bed at 8:30 PM.
Or you could stack them with crisp bacon and grilled banana, throw a scoop of ice cream with poached apple and rhubarb on top, and accept that you won't be doing any useful work for the rest of the day.

Well, well, well… look what decided to land just in time for Father’s Day weekend 👀🔥
If Dad’s love language happens to be crispy sweet potato rösti and pork & fennel sausage, congratulations... you’ve basically just won Father’s Day.
🥔 Sweet Potato Rösti
Pork & fennel sausage, rosemary confit onions, poached egg, house relish + rocket salad.
And because Dad deserves a little bevvy too…
💚 Pistachio Monte Blanc
Espresso + milk over ice with pistachio cold foam, candied pistachios and lemon. Add the pistachio cookie lid and prepare to become emotionally attached. Not gonna lie, this one is OUTRAGEOUS.
🍸 Springtime Spritz
Ink gin, prosecco, lemon syrup + mint. Fresh, fizzy and an excellent choice for Mum whilst she grins through Dad getting all the glamour for the day.
Father’s Day weekend at Sassafras is looking bloody delicious.
Book Dad a table, bring him hungry and we’ll take care of the rest ❤️

Trust us on this one. Meet the Pistachio Lemon Mont Blanc: double espresso topped with thick pistachio cold foam, fresh lemon zest, candied pistachios, and a touch of citrus lift.
Paired with Missy’s handmade Pistachio & Lemon Sablé Bikkie.

Not to be dramatic or anything, but showing up anywhere with a box full of almond croissants is the only option, by the way. 🥐✨
A catering box loaded entirely with almond croissants. Because zero people in human history have ever opened a pastry box and wished for a fruit salad instead.
Order yours online for your next event or team catch-up!

We’re dropping a brand-new signature cocktail this week, and it’s dangerous.
Meet the Emerald Empress: vodka, spiced apple syrup, lime juice, and bitters, shaken hard over ice. It tastes like high-end green apple sour straps, but with enough booze to make you forget whatever happened at work this week.
Launching this week on Latrobe Terrace. Consider this your advance warning.

You come in for a light Chook Salad, see the Triple Hash walk past, and immediately change your order. Then you add warm Banana Bread at the last second because you have zero willpower.
