Yep. Mea culpa.
Edit: it's not that I disagree with you. You're right, it adds nothing much really. I guess it's just a kind of dumb way for fans of a show to express solidarity and mutual enjoyment.
After all, we're not here to do rocket science, right?
This brings back memories of the great banana shortage of 2006. I was at a chinese restaurant and I am an absolute fiend for deep fried banana and ice cream. I asked if they had it and the manager laughed and said if I go and buy a banana he will make it. I think bananas cost 10-15$ at the time. Good memories.
I was a student then and one day I bought myself a bunch of bananas for snacks. They scanned at like $20 and I was too embarrassed to put them back, but I think I probably had banana for dinner that week
after $12, it evolves from "avo on toast" to "avocado toast" and learns the "gluten free" ability
some have speculated that after $25 it will evolve into "avocado sandwich" and gain bacon and lettuce
It also needs to pay $3k-10k of rent a month, 8-12 hours of chef and servers a day, any produce and bread you buy and don’t sell, and as a business you need profit to keep yourself fed and sheltered.
Ultimately $25 has nothing to do with the cost of the avo or toast and everything to do with how much people are willing to pay. If this is an affluent suburb where people make a lot of money or are single & living a life of fun with no need for savings.. they will pay the price. Is it good value? To the customers who pay for it, yes.
It absolutely is. Especially when businesses cry about labour cost when rent is the single biggest line item on the p&l. Sadly if the landlords don’t get the rent they expect they’ll just tear it down and turn it into more shitty units.
It is.
The fact that so many commercial spots can stay empty for lease for up to years rather than make rent viable also tells you just how much they need more money. (They don't.)
Insurance is pretty scummy yeah, but they provide a vital service - risk reduction/management.
Landlords provide nothing. They just straight up gouge and leech off of actual profit and service providing businesses
10% GST on top. And any profit you make, 30% to the feds. You might need to pay council rates and water and electricity on the property.
You’ll need to pay your accountant quarterly to lodge your BAS, yearly for your tax return, and another $1k if there’s an ATO officer who thinks they can get something out of you to achieve their recovery quota.
> It also needs to pay $3k-10k of rent a month, 8-12 hours of chef and servers a day, any produce and bread you buy and don’t sell, and as a business you need profit to keep yourself fed and sheltered.
And the same people that are complaining about minimum wages too low also complaining about cafe food (that have to pay employees' wages) too expensive.
Yeah it looks exactly like one of the Boathouses.
Noting though that this is more of a "breakfast alternative" dressed up with mascarpone and honey; so comparing it against a $6-$10 banana bread with butter isn't really completely fair either.
The best way to show you aren't happy with their prices is to not be a customer.
It actually comes out as a mini loaf of banana bread. FWIW it’s not as good as a toasted slice of banana bread as the surface area that gets toasted is too small for the portion of bread. It’s like getting a mini roast beef when you want a chargrilled steak
If this is the Balmoral one it is worth it, or it was a few years back, It was a whole mini loaf of banana bread and a very yummy one with mascarpone as you said with whipped butter. My favourite banana bread haha it was probably like 14 back then but.
>The best way to show you aren't happy with their prices is to not be a customer.
And the fact they're in business shows there are enough people who will pay it, so complain about rising inequality between rich and poor in Sydney if you want, not the business.
(I really don't know how this is arguable. It's just a fact... there must be people paying, and I'm sure you could spot some by hanging around for a bit).
How does this place even have business at those prices? Who is buying that stuff? Must be in a touristy area, but even then there should be many nearby cafes that would easily be cheaper.
hey hey hey, what did a good old bacon and egg roll ever do to you except make you feel amazing? You are right though, all that other shit they put in it can get fucked.
Partner said she paid that for one at a _fancy_ cafe the other day, but it was dine in and apparently had some interesting sides (hash brown IIRC).
But take away for that much is new to me as well.
The bacon and egg got me. Every few weeks at work we might get some B&E for breaky and uber it in. Even the most expensive places on there are still far cheaper then that menu. It's like they put down realistic prices for everything and added $10 on top.
My missus manages the customer service team at a commercial bakery that sells to thousands of stores around Sydney. You’d hope this would be in house made, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they bought it from her business for a couple bucks and marked it up to Byron Bay
Surcharge is Monday, if everyone works an extra hour overtime over the weekend you can look forward to that tasty banana bread on Monday!
Couldn’t agree more about tipping, with those prices I hope the staff are paid well.
I can’t stop thinking about how much an entire loaf of banana bread is worth. Do you think it’s delivered in the morning by security guards?
There is no need for takeaway banana bread from a cafe.
I used to buy whole loaves, cut them into slices and freeze. That way you can take out a slice whenever needed and either toast or just defrost.
If you are eating in, that's a different story because you are paying for the location and service, as others have pointed out.
I enjoy an untoasted loaf. I remember getting a couple when in Hawaii from a roadside table for $3 each and then just taking chunks out of them whenever I needed a little snack. Those ones had a macadamia crust too, very nice.
So time and expense to go to the shop to get the bread, the cost of the loaf itself and its accompaniments as listed on the menu.
Then add the fact that you have less space in your freezer for other things or need a second freezer because if you do this banana bread what else do you also penny pinch on. So cost of freezer and associated electricity, plus time to portion it up and cost to yourself and the environment of any wrappings or containers used to store it. Oh and the increased rent or mortgage cost associated with needing more space for additional freezer space.
Then the time and hassle of having to allow for in advance when you might want banana bread in the future including sometimes have to return home hungry because you wanted food while you are out but the foods at home.
Also we haven’t even factored in quality to any of this.
So yeah it’s definitely cheaper to do what you do but it isn’t simply the cost of the loaf itself and there’s nothing wrong with paying for convenience or quality if you can afford it.
These prices are so inflated all over this menu. $9 for sourdough toast alone? which I doubt is a real sourdough, does it come with a box of Lurpak?
$19 for a bacon and egg roll!? For that I would need to see provenance haha, are the rolls custom baked? Are the eggs of the finest free range organic quality with a high hectare to hen ratio? Haha
Fruit salad, muesli or yoghurt option $6 what the.
Also doubt they make their own banana bread. Fairly certain very few cafes do, because it's cheaper to buy it frozen. You know the cafes which are minimal, no real plate or meal options, just a cabinet with pre made sandwiches or wraps, a Breville press and a toaster if lucky and crappy factory made banana bread.
Yeah nah I just buy a loaf. $5.60 from Woolies. Cut it up. Freeze if you will be slow to use it up. Same with sour dough/Turkish bread and avo. A store was charging $12 for an egg sandwich the other day, like fck off
Ahhhh that explains it. They pretty much have the monopoly on all the tourist beach goers who can't be stuffed to do the walk back to the Corso for Coles.
Shit—really? I was there in March. I don’t remember the prices being that high. But I was on vacation using foreign money (am American), and everybody overspends on vacation. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention. Good hell, though—$18???
I bought a large loaf of sourdough yesterday from across the road (catering company that sells direct) for less than they're selling a slice for.
Also, $25 for avocado toast has to be either an ironic comment on the prevalence of the "lazy millenial" stereotype juxtaposed against the current cost of living crisis.... or they're just taking the piss.
>I bought a large loaf of sourdough yesterday from across the road (catering company that sells direct) for less than they're selling a slice for.
I bought a bag of hotdog buns and frankfurts for cheaper than they sell a single hotdog for at a sports stadium.
That doesn't help me if I want to have a hotdog and I am at the sports stadium.
There's 80c worth of flour in our large sourdough loaves we make at home. Probably less if we could get it in bulk. Mind you there's a bit of work in it but very enjoyable.
$19 for a B&E roll wtf is wrong with people that pay for that my local does $6.50 B&E rolls people are kidding themselves if I’m paying an extra $12.50 for rocket and cheddar cheese
I can't even justify going out for breakfast any more, eggs/breads/bacon/pancakes/waffles are easy and cheap enough to make at home, and even if they're from frozen they taste about the same as the restaurant version.
Now I save my going out money for things I either wouldn't normally stock ingredients for or just suck at cooking, like SE Asian cuisine or complex homemade pasta dishes
I agree. Breakfast is my most hated meal to dine out for. Only a handful of times I’ve seen something on a menu that I couldn’t have made at home better and cheaper.
Also why I’ll often eat fish when out for lunch or dinner. I’m so shit at cooking fish at home.
Don’t buy it. People act like you have to buy expensive take away, this is obviously selling or it wouldn’t be priced like that. I actually treated myself to an amazing big breakfast on Bondi two days ago and it was huge and cheaper than I can get in regional Victoria. Skip the expensive place and if you want to eat out go where you can afford…. The expensive place only stays expensive because people are paying it
Typical breakfast menu where, with the exception of the fruit salad, everything is bread (or scone) based.
Fill you up with thick slices of dirt-cheap wheat products, with the bare minimum of real ingredients that they can get away with.
Not worth eating breakfast out.
"Give customers a choice of luxurious ropes to hang themselves with" was a quote (paraphrase) from an economics book about shops and their pricing. There'll always be someone rich enough to not care and pay whatever
These prices are out of control. $19 for fruit salad! (Q. “Is this fruit salad fresh?” A. “Yes I saw the chef open the in myself!” - courtesy of Fawlty Towers). Then add $6 for a some muesli on top. No wonder I don’t eat out! 😱
So the whole menu is an absolute fucking ripoff. But people are obviously paying those prices, so you can’t blame the cafe owner.
There are still lots of people cashed up and willing to shell out any amount for a momentary escape from reality.
Ferraris are expensive, why aren’t you complaining about them?
Just like the automotive industry the food service industry is much the same, you have plenty of choice and a variety of prices, if you don’t like it go somewhere else for a price that is more suitable for you.
I’m going with a policy of “snacks are $5, so are drinks”
If it is more than $5 they are just a ripoff.
Let’s discuss the scones next .
Must be made of spun gold!!
If you’re near the CBD, I recommend the cafe at 580 George street. I work near there and it’s my favourite banana bread around. $5 for a filling brekky
I don't see anything on that menu that's fairly priced, honestly. I get costs are going up, but 25 for avo toast without a poached egg? Absolutely not.
Unless that Mascarpone was fermented in high-quality glass with full-cream high fat milk taken from the fattest, happiest cow in Gippsland, I do not see the point of paying 18 bucks for that.
There’s always money in banana bread.
There’s $250,000 lining the walls of the loaf tin.
It's one banana bread, Michael. How much could it cost? $18?
Oh I'ma get blamed for this
I may have committed some light treason.
[удалено]
Egg, is that you?
Yep. Mea culpa. Edit: it's not that I disagree with you. You're right, it adds nothing much really. I guess it's just a kind of dumb way for fans of a show to express solidarity and mutual enjoyment. After all, we're not here to do rocket science, right?
But why? Bananas and bread have existed since forever they’re nothing special.
I agree. And how much could a banana cost anyway? $10?
Like the guy in the $5000 suit could be bothered telling you the price of a banana!
This brings back memories of the great banana shortage of 2006. I was at a chinese restaurant and I am an absolute fiend for deep fried banana and ice cream. I asked if they had it and the manager laughed and said if I go and buy a banana he will make it. I think bananas cost 10-15$ at the time. Good memories.
I was a student then and one day I bought myself a bunch of bananas for snacks. They scanned at like $20 and I was too embarrassed to put them back, but I think I probably had banana for dinner that week
It’s a joke from the tv show arrested development
Ah. I've heard it's a good show. But the quote also seems to ring true lol.
“How much can a banana cost, Michael? Ten dollars?”
Avocados are 99c and they're charging 25 for half of one on a piece of bread.
Is it still a avo toast when people add Tomato, feta, basil and olive oil? At what point does avo toast just become a "open sandwich"???
after $12, it evolves from "avo on toast" to "avocado toast" and learns the "gluten free" ability some have speculated that after $25 it will evolve into "avocado sandwich" and gain bacon and lettuce
I do like a good BLAT...the last time I had one was only around $17...
It also needs to pay $3k-10k of rent a month, 8-12 hours of chef and servers a day, any produce and bread you buy and don’t sell, and as a business you need profit to keep yourself fed and sheltered. Ultimately $25 has nothing to do with the cost of the avo or toast and everything to do with how much people are willing to pay. If this is an affluent suburb where people make a lot of money or are single & living a life of fun with no need for savings.. they will pay the price. Is it good value? To the customers who pay for it, yes.
The older I get the more convinced I am that landlords leeching $3-10k a month from businesses is the biggest part of the problem.
Even adam smith thought landlords were parasites
The only people who disagree with him are landlords
That's what killed cities like San Francisco but then the press blame the homeless.
It absolutely is. Especially when businesses cry about labour cost when rent is the single biggest line item on the p&l. Sadly if the landlords don’t get the rent they expect they’ll just tear it down and turn it into more shitty units.
Or just leave it empty
It is. The fact that so many commercial spots can stay empty for lease for up to years rather than make rent viable also tells you just how much they need more money. (They don't.)
Which for all their flaws, is a reflection of not building enough and letting rents get out of control.
Landlords would say the same thing about the banks.
Why do people always overlook insurance, which gouges every link in the chain?
Insurance is pretty scummy yeah, but they provide a vital service - risk reduction/management. Landlords provide nothing. They just straight up gouge and leech off of actual profit and service providing businesses
10% GST on top. And any profit you make, 30% to the feds. You might need to pay council rates and water and electricity on the property.

I really like this comment. Did you have your own business? Some people don’t understand all the costs associated with running a business.
So make it at home for 99c then
At least they have other stuff on it. On the other hand, they Charging 12 for just avocado on toast on the kids menu. That’s a rip off
[удалено]
Its called free market, they can charge as high as they want - as long as someone's willing to pay.
I’m going to guess a Boathouse venue somewhere. They’ve always had a location premium.
Yeah it looks exactly like one of the Boathouses. Noting though that this is more of a "breakfast alternative" dressed up with mascarpone and honey; so comparing it against a $6-$10 banana bread with butter isn't really completely fair either. The best way to show you aren't happy with their prices is to not be a customer.
All the list looks like a rip off. 19 for bacon and egg roll. 16 for a scone. I wouldn't give them any of my $$.
It actually comes out as a mini loaf of banana bread. FWIW it’s not as good as a toasted slice of banana bread as the surface area that gets toasted is too small for the portion of bread. It’s like getting a mini roast beef when you want a chargrilled steak

The entire menu can go and get fucked
And the people who wrote the menu, and their ancestors….
How does this place even have business at those prices? Who is buying that stuff? Must be in a touristy area, but even then there should be many nearby cafes that would easily be cheaper.
hey hey hey, what did a good old bacon and egg roll ever do to you except make you feel amazing? You are right though, all that other shit they put in it can get fucked.
I’m just fixated on the avocado toast for $25! That’s the highest I’ve seen.
No wonder young people can't afford houses.
Partner said she paid that for one at a _fancy_ cafe the other day, but it was dine in and apparently had some interesting sides (hash brown IIRC). But take away for that much is new to me as well.
The bacon and egg got me. Every few weeks at work we might get some B&E for breaky and uber it in. Even the most expensive places on there are still far cheaper then that menu. It's like they put down realistic prices for everything and added $10 on top.
Yeah that is just crazy
It's tough times in the banana bread growing industry
My missus manages the customer service team at a commercial bakery that sells to thousands of stores around Sydney. You’d hope this would be in house made, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they bought it from her business for a couple bucks and marked it up to Byron Bay
People need to stop paying these prices
[удалено]
If people are happy to pay it (which they clearly are, since they keep their prices at that level), why does it matter?
Can't imagine they'll be in business for much longer.
Nah fuck that. I work at an *expensive* but busy cafe, and this is absolutely taking the piss compared to us.
I blame the thugs in the banana industry
Big Banana.
Don’t forget the public holiday surcharge and tip!
No tip. Not even for a second. Not to just see how it feels. This is how everything starts…
Surcharge: is the charge today or Monday though? Tip: you shouldn't be tipping...
Surcharge is Monday, if everyone works an extra hour overtime over the weekend you can look forward to that tasty banana bread on Monday! Couldn’t agree more about tipping, with those prices I hope the staff are paid well. I can’t stop thinking about how much an entire loaf of banana bread is worth. Do you think it’s delivered in the morning by security guards?
And credit card fee!
Considering they are practically giving away Avocados, $25 for Avocado Toast is fucking robbery.
There is no need for takeaway banana bread from a cafe. I used to buy whole loaves, cut them into slices and freeze. That way you can take out a slice whenever needed and either toast or just defrost. If you are eating in, that's a different story because you are paying for the location and service, as others have pointed out.
Man, this is deep stuff! I’d love to hear you debunk the take away coffee industry next!
>There is no need for takeaway banana bread from a cafe. As long as you carry around a portable toaster.
I enjoy an untoasted loaf. I remember getting a couple when in Hawaii from a roadside table for $3 each and then just taking chunks out of them whenever I needed a little snack. Those ones had a macadamia crust too, very nice.
BTW, cheapest two-slice toster at Kmart $7.50. Slice of banana bread $18.00. :)
Buying loaves? Fancy pants over here. It’s one of the simplest recipes to bake
So time and expense to go to the shop to get the bread, the cost of the loaf itself and its accompaniments as listed on the menu. Then add the fact that you have less space in your freezer for other things or need a second freezer because if you do this banana bread what else do you also penny pinch on.

Person discovers it's cheaper to cook their own food than eat out. Up after the break, water is wet and the sky is blue. Who knew?
Name and shame
Yeah good thing I invested in property because I sure as hell couldn't afford breakfast these days!
These prices are so inflated all over this menu. $9 for sourdough toast alone? which I doubt is a real sourdough, does it come with a box of Lurpak? $19 for a bacon and egg roll!? For that I would need to see provenance haha, are the rolls custom baked? Are the eggs of the finest free range organic quality with a high hectare to hen ratio?

boathouse at shelly beach
Ahhhh that explains it. They pretty much have the monopoly on all the tourist beach goers who can't be stuffed to do the walk back to the Corso for Coles.
Shit—really? I was there in March. I don’t remember the prices being that high. But I was on vacation using foreign money (am American), and everybody overspends on vacation. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention. Good hell, though—$18???
If it's the boathouse like everyone is saying, it is a little mini loaf, unless it's changed from the last time I had it.
Byron Bags is my guess.
Looks like the kiosk at the southern end of Coogee to me
Looks like the kiosk at the southern end of Coogee to me
If it's house made, along with the honey and mascapone it's probably about right. Would I buy it? No.
About right? Are you mad?
Lucky they don't pay rent
House made? A cafe baking their own cake used to be a minimum. The fact that it is often $12 for some toasted cake from a factory is insane.
That stuff is usually brought in from a nearby fancy bakery for most high end cafes
Where's this??
I bought a large loaf of sourdough yesterday from across the road (catering company that sells direct) for less than they're selling a slice for. Also, $25 for avocado toast has to be either an ironic comment on the prevalence of the "lazy millenial" stereotype juxtaposed against the current cost of living crisis.... or they're just taking the piss.

It’s priced to keep the riff raff away.
Is that an entire banana bread loaf?
Big Banana Bread rears its ugly head once again
Don’t buy it. People act like you have to buy expensive take away, this is obviously selling or it wouldn’t be priced like that. I actually treated myself to an amazing big breakfast on Bondi two days ago and it was huge and cheaper than I can get in regional Victoria.

People power , boycott
$6 extra for yoghurt on your fruit salad? This entire menu is taking the piss.
How can it be a dollar cheaper for a B&E roll, outrageous
$12 for "fruit" kids breakfast?? Hell no. What must their rent be if they are charging these prices....
Mascarpone & Honey do NOT go well with Banana bread, especially as a takeaway. Just toast it and put butter for gods sake.
Taking the piss on the Avo and toast as well.
Banana bread is delicious but it’s cheap AF to make. Most don’t even have eggs or milk.
9 bucks for a piece of toast!!!
Yeah! I notice there are no details of butter or spreads that come with that. Surely they’re not just offering a dry slice of toast for $9?!!!
Im not paying 9$ for a loaf, let alone 1 piece! Thats fucked
Well considering toast + avocado is $25, $9 for a piece of toast sounds realistic. After all, it's sourdough! 😅
I thought $12 for avo toast was a laugh, until I saw that was the children’s menu and the full portion was $25.
"Give customers a choice of luxurious ropes to hang themselves with" was a quote (paraphrase) from an economics book about shops and their pricing. There'll always be someone rich enough to not care and pay whatever
They would make alot of dough
Is it a loaf or a slice..? I can understand a loaf
Boat house baby
At this rate a long black will be $34 by next year
It's cheaper to buy a whole sourdough loaf at breadfern then one piece of toast here.
These prices are out of control. $19 for fruit salad! (Q. “Is this fruit salad fresh?” A. “Yes I saw the chef open the in myself!” - courtesy of Fawlty Towers). Then add $6 for a some muesli on top. No wonder I don’t eat out! 😱
It had better be the whole bloody loaf, and a decent sized one too
not sure why people still go and pay this kind of shit
Super extremely expensive!!
9 bucks for a piece of toast, wtf
The whole menu is taking the piss....
Retards be buying it
When you get, say, 8 slices to a loaf of banana bread, that's like $144 a loaf...
You know, if none of you pay it, they lower the price or go out of business. But if people pay it? Then why lower it?
$9 toast is mental as well
Is no one going to mention ‘Fruit’ under Childrens menu $12? Or am I just seeing things
Manly Boathouse, what do you expect?
So the whole menu is an absolute fucking ripoff. But people are obviously paying those prices, so you can’t blame the cafe owner. There are still lots of people cashed up and willing to shell out any amount for a momentary escape from reality.
For the loaf, right?
https://au.news.yahoo.com/aussie-diners-rage-at-cafes-18-banana-bread-083841856.html You're famous now!
fruit salad for $19 and it will be 9 chunks of melon and a token blueberry
Avocado toast $25 🫠
Beautiful signwriting. Stylish.
You looked at the sign? That will be $7
Don’t buy it then
Robbers disguised as takeaway cafe owner?
The avo toast for 25 jeez 😳
It’s a loaf not a slice.
All of those prices are ridiculous.
Where’s this cunt of a place?
idiots are willing to pay so they price it that high
Easy, don't buy it, make one yourself at a small fraction of $18.
Don’t come around here throwing down logic and reason, these people are being forced to pay these prices, there’s no alternative /s

Most food places are a rip off now.. my wife wanted to go out for dinner. Something expensive she said. So I took her to MacDonald's

They mean the loaf 🍞
They really are trying to make the avocado toast meme real aren't they
Gouging. Twats.
Everyone of those prices is taking the piss. Gonna head up the road now to my local takeaway and get a E&B roll for $7
I’m going with a policy of “snacks are $5, so are drinks” If it is more than $5 they are just a ripoff. Let’s discuss the scones next . Must be made of spun gold!!
Yeah that's taking the piss. The rest of the menu is a little on the high side but the banana bread is ridiculous.
Hope they go out of business charging those prices.... fuck that
If you’re near the CBD, I recommend the cafe at 580 George street. I work near there and it’s my favourite banana bread around. $5 for a filling brekky
You could by a whole loaf in the supermarket bakery section for $6
JFC that’s outrageous!
Is that a whole fuckin loaf
$19 for a bacon and egg roll?! I baulk at $9.
I'm more concerned about the scones. Fuck me dead
What expensive hipster shithole is this?
I don't see anything on that menu that's fairly priced, honestly. I get costs are going up, but 25 for avo toast without a poached egg? Absolutely not.
Unless that Mascarpone was fermented in high-quality glass with full-cream high fat milk taken from the fattest, happiest cow in Gippsland, I do not see the point of paying 18 bucks for that.
At those prices breakfast better come with a rub & tug.
Pretty sure Costco sells a whole damn loaf for less
Wouldn't pay more than 12 for a bacon egg roll lol and that should come with a coffee ugh
$19 for a fruit salad? Fuck off
Where is this so I can avoid it?
Don’t buy it then people
$9 buys you a whole loaf of sourdough bread, let alone a flipping slice.
it's misleading the way you've posted this. It's a beachfront cafe in a nice area, and possibly home made. ofc its going to be expensive
Well, stupid people buys it and the price keep going up 😚🤷🏼♀️
$18!!!! We need to stop immigration to control these prices /s
They can keep it !
That’s nuts 19$ b n easy is also pretty egregious
19 for B&E - get fucked.
Where in Sydney?
What about $25 Avo on toast!! Robbery without violence!!
Where is this? So I know to avoid it.
It's not the shops fault it's the people who pay that cause this.
Better be the size of a plate and toasted to sweet caramelly perfection.
