Unbeknown to me, Nicholson Street is a pretty long street and Pope Joan is nestled amongst, well, not an awful lot by way of trade to be honest.
I got off at stop number 24 as instructed by Melbourne's metlink journey planner and wondered back down the street and alas, I had found Pope Joan. The cafe doesn't look like much on the outside, but get a load of that cute copper pan letter box.
Anyhow, my friend had arrived before me and was already enjoying a cup of coffee. As I sat down, a waitress came along to bring us some water and take my order for a skinny flat white.
This place is only open for breakfast and lunch (Monday to Friday), and so the menu was really Eggs (cooked in many different ways) and sandwiches. We opted for the chicken with stuffing sandwich and the curried egg and cress. Mmm...they sounded yummy.
You can watch the chef at work just behind the front counter too.
We decided to order the chicken stuffing sandwich ($9) and the curried egg sandwich ($8). The chicken stuffing sandwich came warmly wrapped in foil. The curried egg was served between slices of sourdough.
The chicken stuffing was delightful. The curried egg was just OK. We thought it could have done with some oomph and I had to pepper mine to add some kick.
There is outside seating to the side. Babies more than welcome as was evident by the several mums and bubs sitting outside. It's modern rustic with a good old splash of Britishness about it.
