Foodie Review~ Lid & Jar [Chatswood]

HEllloooo~~ How are you guys today?? Since my last post is about the Elf's Matte lip colour so I will write about fooood in this post!!!
Also it was such a nice weather yesterday so I went to try a "new" cafe in Chatswood called Lid & Jar, it's located in the concourse near the library. SO, I guess if you are studying at the library you can pop by for a coffee xD!!! 




They have both indoor and outdoor tables so it perfect to sit outdoor on a sunny day!! :)
I guess their service is quite good, as we sat down they have served us the menu and water immediately ~ :) They a drink, breakfast, lunch and sweet menu!! Also they serve breakfast everyday up til 12pm and lunch will be available 12-3pm. I think they have some pastries and sweets stuff at the counter as well. So there's quite a bit to choose from!!

The menu is plain and simple and sort of matching the store's design.
If you wanna check out their menu, you can check here~ 
I'm those who can't last a day without my coffee~ Of course the first thing we ordered if coffee!!!!! xD They have quite a range to pick from, like competition style cup and barista competition set? Can't remember ... hahaha 

Coffee
Normal latte ($3.80) 
She ordered a latte cause she is not a coffee drinker xP
But I didn't try this cause it's too weak for me! xS
Cold Drip ($7)
It is like ice coffee except the coffee beans are brewed through cold-pressed, so it never come in contact with heated water and not diluted by water. It is generally sweeter due to it's lower acidity. BUT I personally don't really like it as I prefer coffee with milk xP


It is served separately and you would pour the coffee in the ice cup. I think it is better at Toby's Estate. The flavour is strong but not as strong as espresso, and it's more on the sour side. x_x
Rose Mocha ($4.80)~~ <3 
It's AMAZING and I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! It's hard to describe it but I guess you can call it Rose essence. It is definitely stronger than the normal Mocha!! I love it how the heart is pink~ I think they put colouring in the milk? I find it very cute as welll~~ 
Normal Mocha ($4). 
It tasted a bit weak and the froth is not very thick. Also the bubbles are a bit too big so the coffee is not as "smooth".
 

~J'adority - Coffee~

Cold Drip ($7): 1/5 (Sorry! I am no fan of black coffees xD. But my friend did say that they've had better ones.. and also I think the one at Brewtown in Newtown is better!!)
Mocha ($4): 3/5 (It's a little bit weak, and the froth on top is too thin. The froth also has big bubbles.. but the latte art are pretty nice!)
Rose Mocha($4.80): 5/5 (LOVE IT!!!!! <3 <3 It is still weak though BUT I love the rose flavour or scent haha~~ It's nice and something new~ However the price is a little 
OVERALL Coffee J'adority: 3.5/5 (The coffee in average are quite weak and the froth isn't that good, or maybe I've had such high hope for the cafe since the barista won a coffee competition lol)


Lunch meals



Lid & Jar Beef Burger with Garden Salad ($20)
The beef is medium rare but it's alright.. Also the price is a little pricey xO I've had better ones at a lower price :)
Fresh Corn Fritters ($17)
I quite like the rocket and avocado, bacon and rocket salad on top, it's like so perfect together haha!! However I have never tried other fritters before so I couldn't  really compare it but I think they deep fried the fritters a bit too much ( I'm not sure if it's meant to be like this though)!

Green Apple and Witlof Salad ($15)
The salad is nice and fresh since it has apples but the proportion of green apples vs greens are too much! I prefer it to have a balance between both apple and greens :) The egg is nice though, since I love soft centre half cook egg yolk!! :)

~J'adority - Lunch meals~

Lid & Jar Beef Burger with chips/garden salad ($20): It's alright and quite good the fact that it's medium rare (it's not over cooked!). However, the price is quite expensive.
Fresh Corn Fritters ($17): 4/5 (I think it's a little too deep fried but the combination of avocado, rocket salad, bacon with fritters is very nice~~ The corns are very sweet as well~~)
Green Apple and Witlof Salad ($15): The salad is quite nice and refreshing cause it has apples, so it is on the sweet side. However I would prefer it better with more salads than green apple.
OVERALL Lunch J'adority: The food are nice but the prices are quite expensive. However I do enjoy my corn fritters as the combination of rocket salad, bacon, avocado with fritters is really nice, though I much prefer it to be less deep fried!


My Overall J'adority: I do enjoy the environment and I personally love the rose mocha. Even the coffee is still quite weak but I think the price is worth it if I plan to sit and relax at the cafe for a bit. Also it is something different to a normal mocha, so for those who wanna try a new flavour or twist to coffees, GO FOR IT!!!!!! :)
