Serendipity: Deus Cafe, Camperdown

Sometimes I wonder, how and why a cafe becomes popular when the food served are very common which you can find anywhere else? Location? marketing from mouth to mouth? Review? Maybe ...

I went to Deus Cafe last weekend. When I entered the cafe, I was surprised because the cafe was pack of people. They were under staff so we were trying to find an empty table by ourselves. We found a table in the corner, shared with other 2 ladies. I looked at the menu ... nothing is unique or different, they served the same breakfast like other cafes; such as egg benedicts, big breakfast, toast, bacon, poached egg, etc.

According to my friend, the coffee was bitter. The food was good but again nothing is extra-ordinary. The almond pastry was nice; egg benedicts sauce was good. No friendly smile or small chat from the staff, I guess they were really busy. However, the waiter who brought our food was friendly.
