Standing Room Espresso

Yesterday we went back to the North Shore to Birkenhead where Mamma grew up. At the top end of Hinemoa Street (Highbury shops end) there is a little unsuspecting gem of a cafe. Its called Standing Room Espresso.
 Its a tiny little space hence the name, there are however seats. First up I must make note of the Cheese Scones. They were off the hook! Take a look for yourself.
 Potato Scones with caramelised onions and danish Feta. Mama was calling best ones she had ever eaten. I even got a try of the crust! It was good. I was looking round for more but all I saw was an empty plate.
They serve allpress coffee here and boy do they serve it well. I don't know what disappeared faster the scone or the coffee. A word of advice from my Mamma "If you come here DO NOT share the scone! It will leave you wanting that other half for the rest of the day".
At Standing Room Espresso they bake all food on site fresh daily, Id suggest you get in early to get into one of those scones- Do it Now!. I have no doubt we will be back again very soon.
