Amazing brunch! Quite a large cafe with space out the front, inside, and in a back courtyard, with…read moretables that can suit two to ten people comfortably. Service was efficient and very friendly! I had the brioche French toast with poached pear and cream fraiche... It was to die for! My friend had the Sipp Sanger and loved it too (although it came on a teeny tiny board - visually pleasing, but left runny yolk going everywhere!) I also had the Sipp Fantasy juice which was sweet and delicious. Importantly, the coffee was perfect. With a lot of other breakfast spots in the area, now we have discovered Sipp it will become one of our go to spots in the area!

The poached eggs are always flawless, white puffy clouds with bright yellow sunny yolks that ooze perfectly into chewy sourdough.

Dog friendly with the tables out front. Definitely my go to place when I get back to Melbourne.

Breakfast, we are told, is the most important meal of the day, but unfortunately very few…read morerestaurants get it right. The Diplomat Cafe in Highett I'm pleased to announce is one of the few. This cafe is centrally located on the main strip across the road from the Highett train station. The cafe itself is really well designed with a small show kitchen pumping out meals to a rather large minimalistic dining room. It really has a great vibe. The first thing that I was impressed with was the staff. Upon arrival I was greeted warmly, and escorted to my table, offered water and a coffee to start with. This in itself seems to be a lost art in today's restaurant scene. I ordered a jasmine pearl tea to start, which, when arrived was presented on a wooden board, with a cup, an iron teapot and a box with three sandglass minute timers. The first one set at one minute, the second at three mins and the third at five minutes. Each timer representing the strength of the tea. A pretty cool concept. The menu looked awesome, but all I really wanted was poached eggs, bacon and mushrooms. So that's what I ordered. Now it's generally at this stage when I ask the waiter if I could have my bacon crispy, but in all honestly I forgot, so I was a bit concerned. My breakfast arrived in a reasonable timeframe, and my first impression was, that it looked pretty good. It wasn't good, not at all, it was awesome. Let's start with the eggs. Perfectly poached, soft and gooey yolks, and perfectly poached whites. As much as the eggs impressed me it was the bacon that wowed me. Crispy but still juicy and full of flavour, just the way I like it. I have to say this was one of the best bacon and eggs I've ever had. The food that was coming out of that kitchen was amazing. So if you find yourself down Highett way check out The Diplomat, it truly was amazing.

I enjoyed a strong brew of T2 Earl Grey and of course a necessary cakie - caramel slice. They are famous for their freshly baked, big scones on display in the front ($6 with condiments). They have sweet- plain, raspberry, date or savoury- cheese and spinach. Prices are quite reasonable with sweet bakes ranging between $3-5. There is also an all day breakfast/brunch and savoury bakes such a tarts and quiche options. The service can be a little hit and miss, but you're always served with a warm smile. The decor is eclectic with new and old knick knacks and cooking books and childrens toes. If you can't afford a trip back to the Motherland, than enjoy a strong brew and a little sweet treat here instead and use your imagination. Maybe even adopt a strong British accent?

All their sandwiches and rolls are made fresh in front of you with your choice of bread as they bake it themselves. One downside is they don't have any gluten free bread.
