Sure, this place was nice, but the thing that really put me off was the exceeding strong tea that…read morethey served here. Actually, that tea was honestly pretty bad, and not only that, it was quite pricey as well. Though while this place did look nice, and had a nice, quiet, atmosphere about it, the tea really makes me not want to return.

The Duchess! I have often heard raving reviews of this place but when I went last time, 2 or 3…read moreyears ago I didn't really see the attraction. Perhaps it's the fact that you have to drive to whoop whoop... Perhaps it's the fact that after driving to whoop whoop you still have to wait ages, but the Duchess did not impress me then. Fast forward to today, I had to go to the Scienceworks and it's in Spotswood, so I decided to give The Duchess another go. Now it's obviously a weekday plus it's probably just after lunch hr so it's less busy. They were able to accommodate two prams and was super friendly and efficient about it which is a big tick for me at this point in my life! Food ordering is a bit slow to be honest. We ordered our drinks and waited and waited and no one came to take our order! We finally had to flag someone down and THEN they told us there are specials! Not sure if they just didn't want to overwhelm us and let us settle down but I felt the service need to be a bit more efficient. Anyway so I ordered the special which is the soft shell crab w pork belly on a brioche. It was amazing!! They managed to cut the fattiness of this whole combo with fresh coriander and zesty mayo. I am not a fan of Scienceworks but I will come back for The Duchess!

I have to admit it took 5 minutes to actually find Chases Kitchen, it was kinda low key, there was…read moreno logo or anything big but we found it in the end. In the end we found a table and the waiter came straight away, he was very friendly and didn't mind that my mum didn't want dry fruit in her fruit salad. After a small chat the food came in, we were both surprised how quickly it was. I ordered the Boston Burger which was amazing and it came with plenty of chips and it filled me up really easily. The bread is really soft and the chips were very tasty! My mum enjoyed her fruit salad and was very happy with the restaurant (which can be very difficult). All in all I would 100% recommend going to this place, with friendly staff and amazing food what else is there to want?

The bread is specially soft and they come with thin crunchy fries. If you don't have much time on lunch break (like myself), called them to order in advance and their friendly staff will prepare a special table for you and everything. Looking for brekkie? They've got 'em all. I usually randomly ask them to prepare me some scrambled eggs on toast with mushrooms, tomato and spinach. The result is better than expected. Try their Benedict eggs as well. All worth it. Lovely and friendly staff! Nice background music!

I wasn't sure about this place, it never seemed like much from the outside. Nevertheless we decided…read moreto give it a go. Once inside the decor was lovely, the staff a little lack lustre (everyone has a bad day!) but the food sounded amazing. We ordered a couple coffees and the bubble and squeak fritters and the French toast. What came instead was the ricotta hot cakes. The amazing thing was, we didn't even notice until we'd kicked our plates clean! We dug into it so quick because it looks so beautiful and we're actually happy we had this instead of the French toast in the end! All the negatives we outweighed by the delicious food and great quality coffee! The fritters were fantastic with a perfectly fried egg on top and the hot cakes were incredible. We'll happily be back here and stop judging books by their cover!

After much debate, we settled on the Avocado smash and a Warm Nourishing A.M. Salad. Both meals were really tasty. We saw quite a few meals come out to other customers on a busy Saturday morning. All meals were large and looked very appealing. We were very happy with the coffee!! We will certainly be back.

Decided to try out this spot and WOW…read more The coffee was great and liked the change from the what seems to be used from most specialty cafes being the 7 seeds is code black. The staff first a foremost were very friendly and really attentive. When my wife and I ordered brekkie (keep in mind it is a Sunday morning) we were waiting quite awhile maybe longer than usual and the lovely person who served us noticed we had not gotten our meals and went and checked for us. I ordered the Dr Martys crumpets which were so amazing I just want some more and if you are after something a little sweet for brekkie and want to indulge definitely try it. My wife ordered scrambled eggs on toast with a hash brown. The only issues personally is that there could have been maybe an extra hash brown and the eggs were a little dry. However I loved that the sourdough was drizzled with olive oil then toasted. All in all a great place with a great relaxing feel and some great background music. However there isn't a lot of non communal tables so either get in early or be happy with a communal.

We were promptly given blankets and a bowl of water for our pup, we ordered a couple drinks (coffee and the bannoffee smoothie) which were delicious and fast. We then ordered lunch - the special 'cubano' burger and the bang up burger. Eyes bigger than my stomach, the cubano was amazing but a little too much for me (think pork pork pork). Swapping burgers with my partner we devoured every piece and mopped up the juices with the hand cut chips (no photos as we ate so fast!). The staff were fantastic, all friendly and attentive. Walking distance from our place, this has now become a new favourite.

They get busy on weekends, both indoors and out the back in the kid-friendly eating and playing area. They turn tables around pretty quickly though so the wait has never been for more than a few minutes. They also do a roaring trade in coffees and croissants/muffins to go. Recommended.
