Breakfast ends at 11:30 am & then they have a full on lovely lunch menu, including lamb salad, duck salad, a fancy, yummy looking vegetarian salad, and mains like lobster ravioli & steak.

The cafe also serves some really nice wraps and paninis too for lunch or a hearty breakfast along with a few bagel selections as well as standard hot brekafasts of eggs, bacon, sausages etc. Coffee and chai is pretty good. The staff are really friendly and service is prompt although it does get very busy so sometimes the wait times blow out a bit. The reason why: it's the ONLY cafe in the entire Springvale Homemaker Centre!!! Apart from the cafe within Ikea, this is the only place that serves usual tasty cafe fare that's open for breakfast and lunch time. This unfortunately reflects in the pricing- it's a little on the higher side of standard cafe pricing. Perhaps this is also due to the lack of cafe competition but also hey, the quality of ingredients used is pretty good too. I'd still say, drop in for a coffee and cake whilst you decide on the next sofa or dining table. Because the food is good and the atmosphere is casual, clean and comfortable; really this place deserves 3 1/2 stars but due to lack of competition to set it apart (Ikea cafe is NOT on the same level as the offerings are different) it's a bit hard to rate it against another cafe. On nice days, do sit outside on the patio!

Peak! 5 min wait for a table and food 30min wait (was told up front). On recommendation ordered the beef burger with extra patty. We also had the mushroom with egg. Which had a good splash of truffle oil. If getting the mushroom... be prepared to for an afternoon nanny nap... it's heavy. As for the burger... it's well balanced with a maccas style sauce and the double patty was spot on! Not dry and with the gritty bits on the edges. Add the extra patty otherwise it would feel a bit underwhelmed... size wise. Above average pricing at $22.50.

The Grain is a small bakery and café on Clayton Road in Clayton, a street replete with other small…read morebakeries, cafés and restaurants. My experience is limited to what they had on offer for takeaway, so I cannot speak to their café offerings. Given this experience, though, I would not want to try anything else. I purchased two Kaiser rolls from The Grain and two large pieces of baklava. Neither of these are particularly difficult to make, or at the very least there are many more elaborate and intricate breads and desserts one could make. The first tell of the impending disappointment was the shape of the Kaiser rolls. What makes a Kaiser roll distinctive is the five segments of the top bun. These can be made by folding the dough prior to baking (the traditional method), by cutting the dough after it has risen, or by using a purchased tool to do this. The rolls from The Grain had a faint trace of these distinctive lines, but this was marked by tears in the dough. The rolls themselves were dry and hard and completely inedible except for a pinch or two of soft bread in the centre. It was almost impossible to bit into the roll, and even when this was possible the bread was so dry and flavourless that there wasn't much point to trying to eat it. The most satisfying part to the rolls were the dull thud they made as they hit the bottom of my rubbish bin. The other item I sampled from The Grain was their baklava. Baklava is actually really easy to make, it just takes a lot of time to assemble. This also makes it easy to tell a good baklava from a poor one without even trying. A well made baklava has alternative layers of pastry and walnuts (which are mixed with sugar or honey). This is time consuming because the pastry layers are thing and require some care, they have to be wiped with oil or butter, and you have to be careful to spread the nuts evenly. If you were being lazy, you could put two thick layers of nut mixture between thick layers of pastry, as The Grain did. You still have the same amount of nuts and pastry, they're just lumped together. The problem with this is that it makes the pastry incredibly tough. I found it difficulty to cut the pastry with a fork--something that is difficult enough in a properly constructed baklava, let alone one with walls of pastry--and trying to bite through it wasn't much more successful. The next problem with the baklava was the nuts used. Traditionally one uses walnuts, or perhaps pecans if walnuts are not available, with pistachio as a garnish. I am no purist who requires walnuts, some of the best baklava I have had have been reimaginings using ingredients that were not available in the near east when the dessert first emerged. But, if you're already being lazy in the construction, it is not appropriate to substitute walnuts for almonds. The only reason to do this would be to cut costs given how much cheaper almonds are, which was not reflected in the very streep asking price ($4/piece). The use of almonds, the cheap construction and tough pastry all combine to make a truly terrible baklava. Given what I have experience of The Grain, this is one bakery/café to be avoided.
