Walking down King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, one's senses can become completely overwhelmed. Despite its colourful boutiques and a seemingly endless array of second-hand book stores, it's the tastebuds that really get the work-out with the strip's vast line of culinary delights. I've walked King Street many times and have counted over 140 pubs, restuarants and cafes along it.

These never stay static either. Constantly changing, upgrading, renaming and expanding one can always expect a new gastronomic adventure to greet them when visiting King Street.

Well, I'm determined to end that and achieve the near impossible: to feast from every restaurant/cafe/bar on King Street and live to tell the tale.

The Organic Pomegranate

@ 534 King Street, Newtown

**Changes changes changes. the Organic Pomegranate is now a Thai restaurant called The Hot Pepper. Full review soon.

 Previously Bump 'n' Grind, this cafe has had a facelift and has been renamed The Organic Pomegranate. Sporting a healthier menu complete with organic eggs, the owners and quality of food remain the same.


From the outside BNG looks like two cafes and in a way it is. On the left is the counter as well as the takeaway section and on the right is an open area laid out with wooden chairs for those choosing to dine in.

It was early morning and there was only one other seated customer, so the service was quick and friendly. I ordered a coffee and some cinnamon toast (not quite knowing what exactly that entailed, but intrigued by the idea).

The coffee was good and the cinnamon toast consisting of toasted Turkish bread with slathered with cinnamon. Needless to say I am a fan of the stuff so it was nice. The atmosphere was good, very open and comfortable. The takeaway menu consisted of muffins, breads and coffees that looked so appealing I was tempted to grab one as a snack for later on in the day.

    Sadly the Organic Pomegranite closed about a month ago. It's re-opening tonight as a Thai restaurant.

    Thanks John! I noticed the sign was up but didn't realise it was re-opening tonight. Don't worry, I'll hit it up asap!
