This caught my eye while browsing the menu, as seasonal blackberries are rather uncommon in dishes.
.
This has a base of crisp crunchy toasted sourdough bread, covered with chunky mashed avocado, crumbly feta cheese, juicy blackberries, and crisp shallot mignonette (a rich sauce of minced shallots, white vinegar, and rice vinegar), all sprinkled with a little iodized salt, cracked white pepper, and cracked black pepper.
.
Combined, this holds lovely bready sour nutty vegetal earthy sweet zesty fruity milky flavours, nicely yummy.
.
Added a duo of overeasy eggs on the side, whose eggy sweet savoury flavour complements well. Am so glad I ordered this, very happy with it.

This was the 1st dish I ever ate at Dutch Colony Coffee Co, and its perfect execution and delicious taste affirmed my desire to return for more.

The linguine pasta noodles bordered chewy and soft, piled high in the middle of the plate, coated in rich house-made pesto cream which is bright with vegetal milky herbal sweet earthy flavour.

Surrounding are juicy fresh cherry tomatoes with vegetal sweet notes, and chunky juicy boneless chicken thigh pieces marinated in a house spice mixture carrying addictive meaty spice savoury sweet flavour.
.
Finished with shredded parmesan cheese with cheesy salty notes, and a runny sous vide soft poached egg whose silky texture and eggy sweet flavour complements the pesto gravy excellently.
