After a glorious Sunday morning run on the route of The Bay Run (more details shortly) we treat ourselves to a well deserved brunch, which is my favorite meal of the day, at a nearby cafe referred to by the oh so lovely Maria :)
Copo is a cafe and diner in Drummoyne. Upon arrival there’s quite a queue which blocks up the main entrance. Clearly that’s a good sign, right? Not only is there a wait for a table, the takeaway line seems just as long. Not a bad idea for a cafe to be honest.
The menu is massive. There was so much on offer that it really dazzled me. Before starting the decision making process we order some coffees. It’s been my first coffee in about 2 months! I am a huge fan of Campos coffees and this one did not disappoint. It was a strong coffee bean but it was extremely smooth and a treat to go down. Delightful!
Baked Eggs with Fried Potato, Chorizo, Chimichurri and Toast $18.90
With missing out on the baked eggs at Circa Espresso I knew I had to pick it this time. Out comes this little iron pan looking absolutely stunning! Eggs. Potatoes. Chorizo. Chimichurri. Can’t really go wrong can you? It wasn’t too heavy but it still was filling. I really enjoyed the combination. The chimichurri had an acidic/vinegary element which broke up the heaviness of the potatoes and chorizo. Couldn’t have asked for a better meal after a good run :)
Eggs (any style) with Toast and Chimmichurri $10.90
The boy opts for something more simple – poached eggs with toast and chimichurri. The eggs didn’t ooze as much as we usually like them to be but at least they weren’t over cooked. The quality of the eggs were amazing – fresh is what they were.
Here is a photo of the view we had before starting The Bay Run! It was absolutely stunning for a cold winter’s morning!
For those who are interested the official The Bay Run race is on Sunday August 5th. The Boy and I are doing the City 2 Surf this year so thought The Bay Run would be our “training/practice” for the 14km race to come.
Are any of you readers doing either races this year? :)

This was the first time ive had such a combo and it was delish!
What a beautiful morning. And those eggs seem like they’re a great start to the day at a very reasonable price. Good on you for preparing for the City2Surf – I’ve never done that run but I sure should have! xx
You should if you ever get the chance :) there’s a group where people dress up and walk ;)
Wow you definitely deserve a good breakfast for doing the run! Love the sunny egg yolks! :D
Thanks Lorraine! Running is good but the feed after is even better hehe ;)
yummm oozing eggs. I seriously cannot get enough of them!
Wish it were a little more oozy this time!
love the look of those eggs! And the view.
View was breath taking! Had I gone a week earlier I’d see dark clouds and rain..
great shots!
Thank you :)
Yum at the baked eggs- love the addiction of Chimichurri , i might steal that idea xD
ive been meaning to visit copo, my bf really likes it :)
I have no doubt that you would really enjoy it too dolly :))
Love love love chimmichurri! What a perfect topping for poached eggs.
I never would have thought of putting the two together. But it works :)
love this place! hehe the boy and i are doing city 2 surf too ^^ should go do the bay run to practice as well since it’s so close to home
So jealous you live around there :p
I’m doing City2Surf! Haven’t started training yet, lol, but I still deserve brunch I think :P
Brunch > running any day! Haha
What a glorious day for your run =) Beautiful shots of the Bay and your pink sneakers are super cute!!
You’ve got me motivated, I’ll have to go back soon for a run and some baked eggs too, mmmm…
Thank you for the recommendation ;)
the baked eggs looks glorious!
And they were especially paired with chimmichiri ;)
Dear Tina,
Those eggs look like they are cooked perfectly and the bay run looks absolutely awesome. Good luck with the City to Surf.
Thank you very much :)
Those baked eggs look amazing! And I’m impressed you did the bay run. I have some friends who always do the bay run on weekends then go out for a great breakfast… maybe I should join them!
I think you should Amanda ;) great way to start the day!
The sides and flavours of all of the baked egg combinations I see always look great, but I hate runny yolks, so I abstain. :(
Yeah I don’t think it would taste the same with fully cooked eggs. Try scrambled perhaps?
