Still, this place wasn't bad at all, and the service was pretty prompt, and the price wasn't bad either. The other thing is that they did make a pretty decent pot of tea as well, though when it comes to speed, making a pot of tea really doesn't take all that much effort. Sure, finding a seat can be tricky, but this place is still nice.

Lovely place ! After…read moretwo weeks in Yarraville, I never had the chance to try this little place yet, cause everytime I wanted too, it was too late (it closes at 15h00) So for my very first time, what a surprise to come inside and see the waitress dressed "french style" They don't have a casual friday, but a theme friday, so as a french, I guess it was the perfect day for me to try ! So of course I had a croissant, which was pretty amazing, for an australian one, pretty close to a very good french one ! I also tried a blueberry coconut muffin, first time I try one like this, and YUMMY. the Mocha coffee was also delicious, so what else could I ask for ? A good service and an excellent welcoming ? Well guess what, I got that too. Too bad it closes so early, cause I would go there way more often !

I was looking for a morning coffee in Bentleigh after having my hair cut (@ The Barber Club), and…read moreBent Espresso appeared on Yelp as the closest place. After a walk about Centre Road's exceptional offering of variety stores and op shops, I made my way back to Bent Espresso for a latte. They grind Toby's Estate beans, the service was friendly and relaxed, and casual in a nice way. I didn't bother to check the menu as I wasn't interested, but the coffee was delicious and the little cabinet of treats looked enticing. If latte art is your thing, you would be disappointed if my coffee is anything to go by. Even without a milk flower, it was a good brew. I liked the carafe of ice cold water as well. Small place, seemed to do more take away than drink in when I was there at 10:30am. Check out the funky mural on the back wall. I'll be back here at some stage.

Not to mention that the bircher muesli has rosewater, pomegranate and walnuts scattered on top, a boiled egg is served with a perfectly squidgy centre, the baguettes (stuffed with all sorts of Frenchy things) come from Noisette, the macarons by Josephine and the coffee... well. That needs a paragraph of its own. Le Flâneur has an intense focus on the beloved bean. Tony the barista has been gifted with a beautiful workstation - it's big and features all manner of contraptions, like various cold drip filters (for coffee and tea), a number of pour-over sets, infra-red syphon and other bits and bobs that coffee geeks like me love to ogle. It's beautifully presented and in many ways acts as a centerpiece for the cafe - allowing customers to be included in the process in a way that isn't intimidating or wanky. Cold drip is extracted quite long and served in a glass jug on a wooden tray, along with a glass of ice and little jugs of brown sugar syrup and milk. I'm a straight up black with no sugar kind of girl, but I imagine I may eventually be tempted to pour the contents in with my coffee to see what it tastes like. That's the thing with this place - for some reason you feel safe trying something you normally wouldn't. It's friendly and comforting, the staff immediately feeling like friends. The space is like the home you always dreamed of, and the food just like your Mum would make... if she were French, and oh so very chic.

The Seven Seeds blend was as distinctive as usual, whilst there were a number of single origins available I'm very keen to try at a later date. For one of the few times in ages I actually ordered an 'smashed avo', unfourtunately as the choices seemed rather limited for lunch (the menu seems rather breakfast focused). I ordered it with some smoked salmon, which was a seriously delicious addition, and the use of capers was a unique touch which worked very well! 'Tucked' away on the corner of Church St and Victoria St, it's one of those cafes easy to miss when you're driving by. It is simply designed, but has a very comfortable feel. Definitely a place to go on a Saturday or Sunday morning, but make sure you book ahead as I reckon it would get very busy!

Visit the new Carlton store and add in: - More indoor and outdoor seating - More flavours (licorice!) - More ways to make the lines faster (hello SECOND toppings bar and cashier) - More enjoyment These guys are dominating the fro-yo experience in Melbourne if you ask me. There's a constant stream of customers visiting on a more frequent basis because they've taken a great model and made it even easier to access. I'll be needing to exercise all my restraint to not be here every day.

You can find the classics like Pez, Junior Mints and Jujyfruits for all you Seinfeld fans out there, or even just settle on some creative lolly pops, push-pops and other sugary sweets. This place will rot your teeth but you'll have a bloody delicious time on the way.

In addition to the good coffee is the smiling service and the good food. I've had the eggs benedict and a spinach pastry snack and both were really nice. My girlfriend had her eggs benedict with salmon and quite enjoyed that as well. The location has outdoor seating, although it's not very pleasant when the buses go by and, well, it overlooks the parking lot. But all in all it's a great place to stop in for a quick snack, a coffee, or to meet up with a friend.

I've eaten at this cafe many times, and the food is hit and miss. The premade food (in the glass…read morecounters) is normally very good, and they often have excellent and interesting muffins. But I'm always disappointed when I have something from the menu (made to order). For example, this morning I ordered 2 poached eggs with sourdough toast. The eggs came out on one piece of toast - what? It was a normal than larger piece of toast, but still, it was not big enough for both eggs. The bread was sliced super thin and it wasn't toasted very well, so it became soggy and wet with the egg yolk. If it had been properly toasted, it would have still retained some crunch. I think they toast it very lightly because it is sliced so thin -- otherwise it would become hard as cardboard. One of the eggs wasn't fully cooked and the egg white was clear and very runny. This is just an example of several experiences with the cooked-to-order menu. Overall this is the best place to sit down and eat in the Wheelers Hill shopping centre, but just make sure you order something from the glass cases.
