The sign out the front said "menu changing soon", is that a good thing or bad? My mind was racing…read moreas I considered the pros and cons (is the current menu no good? New management?) Anyway after speaking with the friendly staff I was told that the chef fancies trying something new, more modern and more seasonal .. all sound promising to me. The cafe on a quiet residential side street is simple, unpretentious. The staff are friendly and it's an unhurried relaxing space with concrete floors, off white walls, indoor plants, large tables and a book shelves. Short black had a good flavour, enjoyable if a little weak and I would've preferred hotter. For food I went with the Pea smash. The busy plate arrived with a generous portion of bacon that was well cooked and tasty. The hash was over seasoned for mine. However the star of the dish is the smashed pea which had a beautiful texture, light and fresh. Sitting on top was a poached egg .. well cooked, I liked the radish too. Will be interesting to see what the change of menu yields, I hear they're toying with the idea of a vegan cafe with the option of adding non vegan extras - regardless if you're in the area worth a visit. Newspapers - yes Music - upbeat and bubbling away nicely in the background

They have the same menu as the other location I ate at, and this is a nicer area (and a very vegetarian-friendly street) that seemed slightly closer to other things I wanted to see. And like its sister restaurant, the offer a mouthwatering and customizable and cost-efficient array of Vietnamese classics sans animal products. I am reasonably confident the rest of that menu is worth it. The raw chocolate mint thing was pretty delicious, too.

Wow...I can't believe no one has written a review for this place yet. This is another favourite…read morelittle gem of a cafe that is just exceptional in every way. The decor is warm and inviting with lots of outdoor seating. The service is fantastic with staff being warm and chatty and very good at good service, making sure you feel like royalty. There is a community here of regulars and the staff all know them well. Inside there are pillows along two wall-seating areas so you can read a good book or just have a great place to sit with a friend over breakfast or lunch. I've had quite a few meals here and my all time favourites are the french toast and the chicken caesar salad. The french toast is done just as it should be, not soggy, but well done and comes with lightly cooked banana halves and crispy, crunchy bacon. The flavours all go so well together. The chicken caesar was perfect with all the components...crunchy homemade crouton slices, poached egg, crunchy bacon and a light dressing that was just right, not too oily and full of flavour. And of course I have to comment on the coffee.....excellent of course!!!! You know I wouldn't come back unless it was LOL It's one of the few places I can "not" order a "strong" latte and it comes out strong (as in not milky and full-flavoured coffee). Highly recommend this place and, it's owned by the same people as Cocos Lounge in Glen Waverley that I rave on about. Food is slightly pricier than a normal run-of-the-mill cafe, but the quality of the food you get is so worth it I'd rather eat here and know every meal I get I will like than to take my chances somewhere less expensive and not sure I'll like what I get.
