Proud Sprout

Serving Nepalese brunch fare to Collingwood locals, Proud Sprout on Smith Street is the new kid on the café block. With a clean and cosy vibe of pine floorboards and whitewashed brick walls, this café is a calm refuge from city hustle, where lingering over a smooth coffee indoors or alfresco in the courtyard is a welcome distraction from busy life. Be prepared for traditional Himalayan spices and flavours in an all-day menu, dishing up choices such as slow cooked beef brisket Benedict with wilted spinach, poached eggs, hollandaise and pickled radish. Savour the taste of Nepalese goat curry, slow cooked on the bone with spices and tomato, served with cumin basmati rice and raita, washed down with a cha cha matcha smoothie - turmeric, avocado, spinach, lemon, coconut milk and agave.
