Oooooh wholemealy! Said no-one ever. Except the banana bread at Firestone really was wholemealy good. It was hearty, oaty and a bit coconutty, definitely made with wholemeal flour, but without that overpowering floury taste. Excellent! I actually bought the banana bread for the babies while I treated myself to an espresso-flavoured Thicc cookie, but it was so good I ended up ditching the cookie in favour of the banana bread. Don’t worry, the Thiccy goodness didn’t go to waste – I took it home for my big boy who devoured it quicker than I ever could have. I was initially a bit skeptical of Firestone due to its semi-food-court location and because it looked more like a restaurant than a cafe. I certainly didn’t expect to find a unique banana bread I hadn’t come across before. The coffee was by Will & Co, which is promising, as long as the barista does it right, and man did they ever. It was absolutely delicious! I was so pleasantly surprised by Firestone that I will happily declare it Marrickville Metro’s best coffee and banana bread.
