Augustines Of Portobello

You know when something is just so amazing you swoon over its offerings and follow the socials? It’s that good you assume everyone already knows about it. Well, that’s Augustines of Portobello to us. But then, lo and behold, the age-old small talk of “so what are you doing this weekend?” comes up. “Oh, we’re going to Augustines!” only to be met with, “Where?” Oh, the horror. So in case you don’t know, we’re introducing Augustines of Portobello. Of course, we then launch into a full explanation, because how does anyone not know Augustines? It’s a cosy café where you can feel the love and thought that’s gone into it. From glowing jars of plums and apricots lining the walls to cabinets full of beautiful baking, there are thoughtful little details everywhere. The kind that make you feel like you’re getting a big warm hug when you sit down to eat. Augustines is open Friday to Sunday from 8:30am to 2:30pm, with Fridays being “Locals Day” (ps, everyone is a local) and dining by walk-in. Saturdays and Sundays are best to book, because while Augustines is still a secret to some, there are more than enough people to fill every seat, including the sunny patio outside.
