✨ AI Quick Take

THIS GUY Cafe & Bakery serves polished Australian brunch in a simple setting, from Benedict and handmade pasta to desserts and drinks. It suits a quiet breakfast or coffee-and-dessert stop, with new bakes sometimes becoming highlights.

Uncle's take: Looks alone are risky; this place steadies the fundamentals and stays satisfying without show.

Setting and atmosphere:Australian brunch and house baking share a clean interior and a few outdoor seats. Benedict, pasta, dessert, and coffee carry the day from breakfast onward. Minimum spend and service charge apply. Eat brunch slowly, but a coffee is not all-day rent—the table also needs another shift.

Location and dining notes:At 台中市北區陝西東五街107號, near Xiaoming Girls' High School and Maison de Chine; phone 0903-313-210. Service is usually nine in the morning to four in the afternoon. Parking is limited in the residential lane; protect driveways, park legally, and check the day's desserts.

● Texas Pulled-Pork Eggs Benedict

A strong Australian brunch plate: generous smoky pork on crisp bread, topped by runny poached eggs and lightly tangy hollandaise. Clear layers stay light, while salad and thin sweet-potato fries complete the plate.

● Handmade Pasta

Unusual trofie has a firm, springy, dumpling-like bite. Creamy sauce coats it evenly without excessive richness, and small shrimp add sea flavor to an approachable plate.

● Laminated Egg Tart

This new tart relies on finely layered crisp pastry rather than a showy flower shape. Smooth sweet filling follows the crunch; clean texture and controlled sweetness make it memorable.

● Flat White

Direct coffee aroma and slight bitterness finish smoothly without aggression. It suits diners wanting clear coffee flavor beside brunch or dessert.

💡 Ordering note

Use Texas Pulled-Pork Eggs Benedict as the main, share Handmade Pasta, then finish with Laminated Egg Tart and Flat White. Bakes vary daily, so ask first; once main and dessert are covered, coffee need not hide behind extra sugar.

📌 Editor's wrap-up
