Lee & Me Cafe – food review

There is a new café in down town Wollongong. ‘Lee and Me’, half cafe, half boutique and a touch of art all rolled into one! Benny tells us that ‘Lee and Me’ was in the making for 3 years until they found the perfect destination for clothing, cafe and art. “We had a three group La Mazzocco installed in our home for 2 years so we could perfect the art of coffee. We spent three years travelling to find out what we liked and didn’t like”.

Combining cafe, art and fashion in a renovated little heritage terrace on the main street of Wollongong. This is a café with charm & a warm atmosphere. They boast to have the best coffee in the south. Award winning Campos coffee artisan will be providing Wollongong with The Superior, their flagship blend. Strictly the finest grade beans available on the market today: – dominant caramel and toffee intonations with fruit highlights. The body is rich and full flavoured with a silky mouth feel. Overall winner of the 2006 Equal© Golden Bean Award.

The food is simply succulent & some of the wonderful food on offer includes hot porridge with rhubarb, banana and maple, full hot breakfast, toast selections of sourdough and fruit and hazelnut loaf will feature at breakfast while lunches will range from oven roasted veggie foccacia and steak sandwiches to warm beef and roquette salads.

And don’t forget the fashion labels. ‘Lee & Me’ stocks Valerie Tolosa, sewn, Leon Henry, Weathered, 2k by gingham, Nudie, Bassike, Modern Amusement & Alpha 60. So if you are looking for something a little different, this is for you.
