I've driven past a few times and today I'm delighted that I stopped to try them out. It's breakfast o'clock and there is table service so take a seat and someone is right with you. They get it right with taking a coffee order right away, do I look like I need one? Well I did need one and lucky for everybody it was made promptly and delivered with a smile. Today I chose the Big Breaky Burger. I find it hard not to give these a try everywhere. I noted on the menu some additional ingredients that you won't typically see. This burger was clearly of a higher class. When it arrived (which was surprisingly quick, I guess they are quiet today, but awesome) the presentation was pretty eye catching. I blurted our something stupid and incomprehensible to the waitress. What I meant to say was "that looks awesome" and "thank you". Let's cut to the juice. The coffee is great, smooth with no bitterness! The bacon is delicious, maybe a light smokey flavour and crisped to perfection. The burger is made on a fluffy brioche bun as it should be. The avocado was generous and had a slight lemon flavour like they cared for it delicately begins the scenes. I love this place after one visit! I'll be back, and I'll bring other people. Give it a try!

My first visit to Light Years was for breakfast; a delicious and unforgettable meal it was…read more The location was off the beaten path, it took me about 15-20 minutes walk from the nearest metro. I was wondering why such a popular spot would be so isolated? But all is well worth the effort to get here. The venue is brimming with natural lighting, classic charm and warmth. For my breakfast, I ordered the Pixelated avocado (on a sourdough toast) because it just looked so darn intriguing. I didn't expect anything else to be honest, and turned out this was GOOD!! Every single element in this dish has complex flavors that compliments each other. The chili dried air kale, diced pixelated avocado and the soft shell crab was especially stunning. The dish certainly performs to its Instagram ability. For my drink, I ordered their matcha latte; it was strong tasting yet smooth. I could drink this all day! The Light Years is certainly not disappointing in any way, from the beautiful venue to the outstanding food, supported with service and ambiance for days. Easily, my favorite brunch spot in town at the moment and much to recommend you :).

Recently opened at the bottom of a new apartment block just along from the Camberwell tram depot, it should not be confused with Lights in the Attic cafe which is a bit further down Camberwell Road. The fit out is the now common scandi/minimalist affair with a smattering of potted greenery. Coffee is from Dukes, but the star of the show here is the food. All the dishes I saw coming out looked great and were good sized portions. I had the bircher and it was a generous serve, looked pretty and tasted even better. Overall a good value and tasty option for brunch/lunch in the leafy inner east.

The corn fritters are marvelous and stacked up with flavour. They include smoked salmon, avocado, kale and a 62 degree egg! Their juices are also delicious. They have great combinations- the juice I had contained ginger, pineapple and berries. I ordered a hash brown too because I was randomly craving one. It was good! I'm planning on visiting st Rose again soon - I can't wait to try out the rest of the menu!

I wasn't at all disappointed when I visited in their first week. The coffee is delicious and so is the food. I second LG on the atmosphere of St Rose- a gorgeous space that feels airy and inviting. The staff are all lovely and accommodating. St Rose is a must for a coffee on the go as you run to your public transport of choice or for a yummy food stop while your shopping on a lazy weekend.

I had the smoked salmon omelette, it felt like something you would cook at home not order in a restaurant; don't take away from the fact that it still tastes good. I would come back here for a casual brunch but definitely not something I would specifically go to Sydney road for due to the many better choices to brunch there is in Melbourne. More like a 3.5 than a 3.

The cafe itself is modern, clean and fresh, music was perfect for a Sunday morning and not too intrusive. The service was polite, friendly and efficient and no one was trying too hard to be cool. I was seated straight away and soon ordered the Vegemite Rarebit. When it arrived, I was delighted with the Australian twist on the Welsh classic and scarfed it down. A takeaway coffee to go (nicely made) and I left a happy customer. Only one minor gripe, being seated at the end of the bench table meant an icy blast of air every time the door opened, but to be fair was exacerbated by my own lack of layers!

It is a gorgeous bright open and airy cafe with a fantastic breakfast and lunch menu. On my visit I had their chicken burger and it was crispy without being too dry and had the right balance of salad to chicken so I almost walked away thinking it could have been a health food. Service was friendly and fast and they were more than happy to pack up my leftovers to go which I really love as I am a bit of a small eater.
