As a reviewer, Ernest Cafe Bar at 1 Boyd St, Shieldfield presents a broad, flexible all-day menu that moves confidently from brunch into evening grazing, with a strong emphasis on comfort dishes and sharing plates. The brunch selection stands out with staples like LOCAL HERO BREAKFAST, PLANT LOVER'S BREAKFAST, TURKISH EGGSPOACHED EGGS ON SOURDOUGH, and TROPICAL GRANOLA, while the more substantial HASH BOWLS offer options such as CHORIZO HASH BOWL, HALLOUMI HASH BOWL, and a SEASONAL ROAST VEGETABLE HASH BOWL. For lighter lunch-style eating, the menu includes SALAD OF THE DAY, PINK LANE SAUSAGE ROLL, and flexible SARNIES alongside salad and sandwich combinations. The grazing section feels particularly sociable, featuring PINK LANE ARTISAN BREAD PLATTER, CHEESE PLATTER, and the playful ERNIES TV DINNER, complemented by snacks like FRIES, SWEET POTATO FRIES, HALLOUMI BITES, and dips such as GARLIC MAYO and SPICY MAYO. Sweet offerings are indulgent, with desserts including VANILLA & WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE, LYCHEE & STRAWBERRY PANNA COTTA, and ORANGE & THYME UMM-ALI. Transitioning into the “beyond brunch” evening menu, dishes such as POMEGRANATE GLAZED CHICKEN, SLOW BRAISED LAMB, and SWEET POTATO FALAFEL kebabs add a more substantial, Middle Eastern-inspired direction, alongside sharing platters like the LOCAL CHEESE LOVERS PLATTER and PINK LANE ARTISAN BREAD PLATTER. Evening sides and snacks continue the casual theme with HOUSE HUMMUS, OLIVES, and HOUSE PICKLES, while desserts such as WARM CHOCOLATE BROWNIE WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM and AFFOGATO provide a strong finish. Even the KIDS MENU keeps things simple with options like SCRAMBLED EGG ON TOAST and SAUSAGE BOWL, making the overall menu feel inclusive, varied, and well-suited to both relaxed daytime brunching and sociable evening dining.
