I stumbled across this cafe while craving for a coffee and scrambled eggs on a toast. Wish they…read moreserved me eggs on a toast at 5pm, although I know it's ridiculous to eat eggs on a toast at that time but who cares. I love it. I settled for a pizza and chips instead. Had a coffee while waiting for my food. My Gwad! The coffee was beautiful. I mean it not only looked beautif but was very delicious too. When the food arrived and I inspected the chips... 'On my gaawd' I screamed like Kim Kardashian. Although I'm a guy, I just couldn't find a better expression to explain how wonderfully the chips were done. But did I care..No! I screamed again when I noticed the pizza. I wish I could write more but I gotta go home and eat. It's a beautiful place, please support them. Cheerios Gary.

The TFC (Templestowe Fried Chicken) Sliders were great and my little girl liked them too. I probably over ordered when I got the Yuzu Benedict as well.

Very easy spot to come and go from or meet up with friends, ample parking around too. A hidden gem if you want a menu with a difference.

There are tables outside as well & a playground is just across the street if you're bringing kids for burgers. Very handy location & lots of parking too. But really it's about the burgers & I might just be back next Fri to try another.

Before a recent 4 day stint at the showgrounds, I was starting to panic that I wouldn't have good…read moreaccess to food. A friend suggested Reverence and what a mighty fine recommendation it was. A takeaway coffee on the first day was solid, the friendly service really elevating the experience and convincing me I needed to return for a more leisurely visit. Later in the week I escaped the showgrounds for a couple of hours to get a little work done and to get some food that didn't come pre-packaged (as is usually the case in an expo like environment). A ginger & lemongrass tea was brewed to order and a chalkboard special of warm lentil salad with greens, yoghurt and a poached egg was filling, nutritious and above all delicious! That's the kind of wholesome, soothing food I could eat all the time and it's sad that so few cafes bother to offer something out of the sandwich/poached egg/ other stuff with wheat and bread options. Nice one Reverence. Again, the service was charming and this time I got to enjoy the old school set up, miss-matched furniture and cool tunes. A+ would come again.

Once upon a time Ascot Vale was the suburb no one had heard of. Hell, even now people don't know…read morewhere it is, squeezed between the Ponds of Moon (aka Moonee Ponds) and Newmarket (renowned as the host of dumpling house Laksa King). But ask someone how to get to the Vale? Nup. So the presence of a 'specialty coffee and tea' house is not a good outcome for those who are comfortable with streets full of yummy mummy road warriors and African guys from the local housing commission chilling outside the internet café. But helpful if you're explaining where you live to the hipsters of Fitzroy. While I question the commercial sense of Reverence Specialty Coffee and Tea setting up the tenth coffee house on a four block stretch - not to mention being in the middle of the 'burbs -it's brilliant if you're after a single origin espresso or a cold drip and some cheese cake. Floor to ceiling windows and brown-and-orange minimalist outfitting creates a cavernous space inside the former 'avvocato e solicitor' office. While perturbing a number of food bloggers who, having survived the lengthy no. 57 tram trip to get there, blanched before imparting their approval, it's nice to have a big table and some space over which you can read a broadsheet newspaper with breakfast or lunch. They could, however, use some cushions on the high chairs in front of the windows - they look cool but aren't particularly comfortable to sit on. Reverence has also nailed a key aspect that any new entrant to suburban café culture requires if it's to survive: friendly staff. Said friendly staff member was with my Honduras aguas dulce filter that came - and this needs to be pointed out - in one of those excellent double-walled thermo glasses. The food is good, the coffee is an education, and the location is on the sidelines of a bourgeoning it-spot. It's unlikely Ascot Vale and its cafes like Reverence are going to remain undiscovered gems for much longer.

There are but a few places that make fine sourdoughs in this town and Sugardough is undoubtedly one…read moreof them. In fact, there are three other great bread shops within about a 500 metre stretch of Sugardough, and then there's nought for miles (?!?). Where Sugardough stands up is through the consistency and crunch of their breads. They don't over produce, so you won't be getting left over stock at the end of the day. This can mean that they won't have exactly the variety you're after, but you know it's fresh and that's of far more importance. They also do great (and consistently so) coffee, cakes, pizza slices and have some of the best pies in Melbourne. Actually, it's the pies that get me going back now that I don't live in the area -- they've still got a bit of a grip on me...

This little patisserie is popular - very popular - and there are hundreds of doughy, sugary reasons…read morewhy. It could be the rustic loaves and pastry filled shop-front window that draws passers-by in for a closer look, and then it could be the country-home interior inviting you to take a seat at one of the delicate tables. What it most definitely is will be the cake-muffin-pie-orgy of a display cabinet running the length of the café that hypnotises everyone who enters with promises of sweet, creamy treats that taste even better than they look. This place isn't just for the sweet of tooth though. There are delectable hot, savoury munchies - spicy Malaysian pumpkin tart, spanakopita with salad and homemade chutney, and breakfast pies, to name a few. Don't forget to check the specials board, and when the cosy café is just too full to accommodate you, place your order at the counter then mosey on out to the back garden for some sunny, courtyard action.
