They have single origins from exotic places including Hawaii and will take the time to make a descent pour over. The food is good but simple and doesn't stand out necessarily. The prices are similar as somewhere that would blow your mind with more refined dishes. Great service and atmosphere :) The mince in the burger tasted like mince the corn fritters like corn and really it is literally what it is. I would have loved a more pronounced flavour in the meat or even a sauce that kicks for the fritters. The salsa and avocado with the fritters where literally chopped tomato onion and sliced avocado... Not really a traditional wet salsa which would have greatly complimented the salmon and fritters. Do come though :)

There was really just one note, just sweet. It's creme in a donut style bun and on a plate of bananas, figs, honey comb, caramel, honey, pistachio, edible flowers. But there was no balance just sweet on sweet on sweet. Fearing this I ordered smoked salmon just to have a bit of salt. The dish was visually amazing but it was hard to eat and I couldn't finish it. I love the idea but just needed something. Even if the pistachios were salted that would have helped. I get what these guys are trying to do but it just want for me.

A new cafe opens in Melbourne nearly every month but are usually concentrated around the city and…read moresurrounding suburbs. The newest opening comes from the team behind powerhouse cafes Short Straw, Touchwood and Tall Timber and resides in dreamy Carnegie. Located on an street corner in a mostly residential area, Left Field brings it to life with good quality food and coffee and accompanying crowds. It actually took two attempts in the weekend after opening to get a table. Left Field takes on one of the signature design trends of white walls, light timber and exposed light bulbs which offers a clean, open and modern atmosphere. A dark-toned tile mosaic behind the counter area and a scattering of potted plants throughout the cafe add a touch of colour. Seating is a mixture of small tables and booths inside and the same outside along the length of the white painted brick exterior. The food menu, as the name might suggest, is a little left field with Middle Eastern influences. Highlights include the Smashed peas bruschetta, Beetroot cured ocean trout and the Supergreen tacos. The braised Moroccan lamb shoulder with pistachio, cranberry and quinoa tabouleh, feta, green chermoulah dressing and garlic yoghurt. Presentation was a little surprisingly with fine dining-like styling. The lamb shoulder was tender and juicy with an exciting flavour combination provided by the rubbed spices and the fruity tabouleh. Gluten free, dairy free and nut-containing dishes are highlighted for those with dietary requirements. Coffee is from Niccolo with a blend and single origin espresso and filter options. Soy and almond milk is available. There is also a range of teas, soft drinks and cold pressed juices. Service is like clockwork, especially during the busy opening period. Left Field brings a touch of the city cafe culture to the outer south eastern suburbs and is sure to be a local favourite.

I ordered a long black to start and it was perfection. Code Black coffee I believe. I would have ordered another immediately had I not had an afternoon of more coffee meetings ahead! The menu is fantastic with a great variety of brunch and lunch items to suit all tastes. The granola was so tempting, as was the mouth watering pulled pork and slaw sandwhich that my dining buddy opted for. I went for the Israeli Chicken Salad - very flavoursome and filling - they were not stingy on the chicken. The spot is child-friendly (not just a clever name) and the seating outside was comfortable with plenty of room for the pram. With this and other adorable cafes popping up in this neighbourhood, it's definitely putting Glen Iris on my visit-more list for Melbourne. Sitting amongst the leafy street on a sunny afternoon was relaxing to the max. Loved it.

And what about a poached egg? Can't forget the poached egg! Lucky my meal had it all! Even mango, my favourite fruit in the whole wide world! Only problem was... the mango was over-ripe. I know, I'm being super anal, but it just crushed me that rather than bringing the elements together, it tore them apart. I should write a song. Cry me a river, you say. It was still a good brunch. I'd come back. Next time I will also know not to order chai latte (too milky, not enough spice), considering that Little Chloe's claim to fame is their coffee! Specialty coffee and roasters. Duh, it should have been a no brainer. One thing I MUST mention, is their super cute table reservation system. I'd think it would be a hoot if they placed a laminated photo of Liam Neeson on the table instead of the scrabble letters. But hey, love the scrabble as is!
