Local Press was a good pick for breakfast on the Kingston Foreshore, inspired by Kate Freeman’s review of healthy Canberra cafes. 

It’s full of energy and has a great atmosphere. It would be lovely in sunny weather as it’s nice to sit out alongside the lake…. and the coffee is good.

The Green Breaky Plate $18  (Za’atar coated hard-boiled eggs, kale, almonds, avocado, quinoa tablouleh, asparagus, dill yogurt and feta) had lovely flavours. It’s quite light so good for eating lean, but not so good for sharing.

The Green Pea Pancake or Poached Eggs on Rye (see Kate’s photos) would be better picks to share.

Open daily, except Mondays, breakfast is available until 12:30, when the lunch menu starts.

It’s very popular, so worth arriving early.
