Driving down Burnet Road I noticed the old Foxtrot store at 49th Street is now a bright aqua green building called Citizens. The Australian themed all-day café opened over the weekend.

I’ve never had Australia’s famed Vegemite, not sure I’d want a to dive into a full serving, but saw they have a Vegemite flight ($8) served three ways on a warm cheddar biscuit.

Vegemite is certainly an acquired taste. It’s intensely savory if not bitter. Felt kind of like trying coffee or beer for the first time, I can’t say it tastes great but maybe it grows on you.

I appreciated the presentation. The avocado and cheddar topped biscuits were great comfy flavors to alternate between the two pieces with Vegemite.

Also tried a fluffy pineapple-green juice ($6.50) made with basil and cucumber. Delicious. Wanted to try their Superfood Smoothies but they aren’t available at the moment so I’ll come back and give it try next time I pass through.
