Beer and Wine is also available with outdoor seating and a smokers area. To top it all off - great coffee with a choice of full cream, skim, soy or lactose free milk!

Although it's been a while since I last ate here, I enjoyed the breakfasts on offer. They had a real home cooked feel to them, with fresh ingredients and a cosy environment making it a nice place to start the day. I also had the vegie burger, which was tasty and very filling. The coffee is great, and whether your staying to drink it or taking away, I recommend the long macchiato. The tables outside treat you to a good view of Belgrave in all its glory, and sipping away at your coffee whilst watching the local happenings often leads to one or two chats with local personalities up for a yak.

My monthly pilgrimage to Kensington has always ended with visits to The Premises, but today, I…read morewanted to try something a little bit different so consulted Yelp (of course!) for some ideas. Enter Luncheonette, apparently this tiny vintage cafe is a must visit and serves Coffee Supreme, and whilst not a coffee drinker, it's a brand that I like. Luncheonette is certainly small, and it doesn't have high chairs for bubs either. But what they lack in space, they certainly made up for it with friendliness and helpfulness in helping me fit my big pram into their shop! I ordered a weak soy mocha to kick things off, but alas when it arrived I found the coffee a bit too hot, although I couldn't tell for sure whether the milk was burnt or not. For food, I tried their baked eggs with Istra chorizo. On the menu it said that this would be served with toast, but to my delight it was served withhold toasted baguette with a generous serving of butter which bubs and I both loved. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the chorizo had a slight kick to it. I am really impressed by the care they made their food, although I would probably skip their coffee next time. Luncheonette is certainly a good (& cheaper) alternative to The Premises.

Luncheonette is a small little cafe tucked away opposite the Kensington train station. When I say…read moresmall I don't exaggerate. It has seating for about 12 inside and maybe 6 outside. That's it. That being said, this really is a little cafe that could. They serve breakfast and lunch, and despite not having a full kitchen, offer quite a variety of meals. Breakfast consists of a breakfast roll, baked eggs, or French toast. Lunch items are a bit heavier. They have a daily specials board, usually one breakfast and one lunch item. Coffee is by Coffee Supreme, and the baristas do a good job. Luncheonette is my go-to place for coffee right after I wake up (I live in the are). My only gripe is because there is only one door going in, ventilation isn't the best. Espcially during winter when they have the door closed, it becomes really stuffy inside. Stay for more than 10 minutes and chances are your clothes will smell of brunch. It may be small, but don't let the size fool you. Come in and have some brunch. Take the path less travelled.

I'M IN LOVE. This place hides an enchanting hidden secret…read more The first time I came here was with a brunch group, good at finding Melbourne's cafe gems. Walking in, I wasn't impressed, this place is small, and looks similar to any cafe. However, we were seated upstairs, so I climbed the stairway to heaven. I was met by the mesmerising ceiling, covered in waves of open books. A few books also stick out from the walls. Interestingly, just as this ceiling installation is unique and absorbing to look at, it is equally unique and absorbing of sound. The resulting pin-drop acoustics are ideal for many having conversations, unlike many Melbourne cafes with horrible shout-to-be-acoustics. The food is excellent, the pesto in the avo-smash being a particularly successful invention. Summary: memorable food, memorable service, and an enchantingly memorable room.

With its top location, it doesn't take much for you to like this cafe. They offer a fairly simple but good menu where the burger I had wasn't greasy and was filling. Coffee is good and the waiters are friendly and relaxed. On such a hectic street Fringe have managed to encapsulate a relaxed and calm feel so when you sit down the hustle and bustle of the street doesn't bother you. Although you're looking at $15-$25 for a breakfast meal, it's basically the only relaxed cafe I can find on the street and others I've spoken too tend to agree. So for almost that reason alone, I will be back again.

Fringe is also licensed so you can enjoy the little cafe at night when it transforms into a chilled out wine bar. They have a good selection of wine by the glass available as well as some local Aussie beers. I have found the service at Fringe to be friendly and efficient, the coffee is good, the prices are affordable and servings are decent.

Turns out it is not and has recently been sold but that doesn't seem to be effecting the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff. This place is tiny BUT if you are just wanting take away, there is a small side window you can order from. The inside has an open kitchen and there is a long "breakfast" style table and a communal table. The decor is lovely and simple and the place is bright with a big glass front. I wasn't overly hungry so got a pot of chai latte and a apple crumble porridge. It was sooo tasty, I couldn't finish it all so I concentrated on eating the crumble and the apples which I wish I could just order a bowl of instead! The staff are really friendly and make you feel very welcome, they have lots of regulars and at any time there can be 4-5 people in line waiting for coffees. Their menu isn't extensive but it is enough, they have a selection of sandwhiches and a dessert window! I got a salted caramel slice take away and that vanished quickly that night. I would go back but it isn't close to home for me but will be sure to visit next time I am in the area.
