Nutella Cinos & Other Magic at Two Bob Snob

TWO BOB SNOB eatery /  The lowdown.

COMMUTERS NEEDING INTRAVENOUS CAFFEINE ON MONDAY MORNINGS AND BRUNCHERS SEEKING HEARTY FEEDS ON SUNDAYS, MEET TWO BOB SNOB - THE PETITE COFFEE HOLE-IN-THE-WALL TURNED HIDDEN FOODIE UTOPIA.

‘Two bob snob’ is a phrase coined in Yorkshire to describe someone who’s ‘all talk and no action’. They’re the folk that could give the Made In Chelsea cast a run for their money with such a notorious knack for snobbery. But while the silhouette of a posh British chap adorns the coffee cups and front chalk-board facade at Two Bob Snob, there’s not a single hint of pompousness about this place.

A level crossing and a few shops is all that stands between the monochromatic T.B.S digs and Cheltenham train station. Think a charming coffee window, a cosy row of tables inside, and a line of bench-style seats plotted street-side (perfect for people watching).

Our ride or die menu must-try has to be the Nutella-cino. Think about it for a second. A velvety cappuccino fused with a cheeky dollop of Nutella. It'll make you reconsider your go-to latte for the rest.of.eternity.

The T.B.S staff are the kind of select people you would oblige to conversing with at 7am in the morning when all you want is to crawl back into bed and hit snooze on the day. Owner, Jason, left the catering arena to create a haven for locals. The inception was to mean different things to different people: their ‘passing Go’ coffee base on the way to work, their brekky and schmooze pad on a weekend, and now even their destination for burly burgers on Thursday and Friday nights.

All day breakfast is a lingo that T.B.S are well-versed in. If you’re devoutly faithful to a smashed avo (fair), these guys serve up a beast of a spread topped with halloumi, charred corn and a coriander salsa. But, if the term 'smashed avo' sends your eyes into the back of your skull, we’d recommend the smashed roasted pumpkin with quinoa & chia sourdough, pesto, green beans, goats cheese and a poached egg. Ooft. They’re coffee purveyors, they serve up sensational fare, and they’re the most underrated local gem (un)known to Bayside. Forget brunching snobbery and get down here, stat.
