It's not as if it is hidden away or anything, but then again I guess it has been only recently that I have decided to have breakfast at a random place every so often (or maybe it was because the gentleman's club seems to be conspicously in the way). It wasn't the cheapest breakfast that I have had, and the menu didn't seem to be all that extensive, but it was still a nice place to grab a bite to eat. The bacon and eggs were nice, though the bacon was a little dry. Still, it certainly wasn't the worst place that I've been.

(Yeah life's always asking me to check out food places right) Anyway, had the full spanglish, and I gotta say , this is pretty serious stuff. Probably one of the better brunch places you can expect to visit in Fitzroy. The chorizos were just right, you can see that the ingredients are fresh as compared to other places. Kudos to the mushrooms I never had such tasty ones so far in my time in Melb. Definitely a place to checkout if you are in Fitzroy. Cheers.

The service, well, that was okay, and they certainly did make a nice breakfast for me. However, my complaint really does lie with how long it took for my tea to come out, namely after my food had been served. Yeah, I do prefer my beverage to come out first.

The place glistens like Hollywood, juices/smoothies/elixirs are being sipped by beautiful women wearing Lululemon and the staff are all babes. Welcome to Kitty Burns. First and foremost, this is Melbourne and it's a new cafe... You *will* have to wait for a table. We were told 45 minutes but it was more like 30 minutes and we were able to slurp some coffees down and judge all the other customers while we waited. The menu is quirky and feels a bit Masterchef-y - you know those episodes where they have to do a classic meal with a twist? For instance, I indulged in the Pea and Mint Panna cotta, served with a 63 degree egg and a side of toast. It was stunning - brunch art at it's finest - and as a bonus it was also delicious. My pals went for a heartier meal, both ordering the 'Meet Mr Burns', which featured a slab of bacon, bacon jam and blood pudding. But the real star of the Kitty Burns show was the drinks menu. I have one word for you... ELIXIR. Yes, you read right... You can order an elixir to soothe your woes. Digestion issues? Need a mood enhancer? Want a radiant glow all afternoon? There's an elixir for that. Kitty Burns is definitely worth the wait. You won't be disappointed.

In fact, it is quite big inside, which means that you are likely to find a seat, even during the restrictions imposed by the Rona. In fact, as a cafe this place was pretty cool. I had the big breakfast, and yes, that went down really well, and the pot of tea was made to perfection as well. A great place for brunch.

Service before it got busy was good, but when it got busy I had to play try and get the attention of any wait staff to order another coffee but gave up after 20 mins. Was a shame as the coffee was good. We all tried different items on the menu, everyone enjoyed the food, Lady Merchant, Porridge, GM smoked eggs, fruit toast and DIY Avo. The DIY Avo was exactly as named, which was a bit annoying having to have a deconstructed breakfast only to have to put it all together again on a wooden board. Would I return, sure thing, food tasty and good coffee but I think there are better places nearby.

Out of a very many options we kept it simple with classic cheesy herb bread and a ham and cheese croissant (I was sold as soon as I saw it included bechamel) as well as some rather good coffees. Very happy with the food, our expectations exceeded, we wanted to extend the brunch session and keep sitting in the courtyard in the sun, we decided to ask for dessert menus and settled on scones. And then we waited. And waited. No scones appeared. Eventually after we'd sat there for 30 or 40 minutes, we flagged down a waitress and said we'd cancel the order and could we have the bill. She said yes, then wandered off to get the bill. And didn't come back. After watching her do several loops around the courtyard refilling water bottles, tidying tables, and doing all sorts of things other than bring our bill, we finally got a different waitresses attention and about 20 minutes after first asking we finally got our bill. Not wanting to wait any more we just took it up to the front counter to pay on the way out. I'd probably still go back to try some of their other menu items but it's a shame this shambles at the end of the meal (they were not that busy by this time) kind of ruined the experience.

At first I though the chairs that were hanging from the walls were supposed to be some kind of…read morefancy decoration, but know I suspect that they happen to be spare chairs, placed up there so that they are out of the way, but easily accessible, but then again, attempting to get a chair down from the wall in a busy cafe is going to be pretty tricky. Maybe just keep them out the back. Anyway, this place was pretty cool, and they had a huge courtyard out the back. The eggs benedict was pretty awesome as well, though sometimes I do wish there were some more options on the menu.

Inside it's open airy and light, and well designed. The space inside is just as great as outside. There's a cute little semi outdoors area to the side, near the big entrance. Scrambled egg, cheese and bacon sliders are divine. Take advantage of the fact that it's quieter during the weekdays. Probably the best time to go I'd say if you want to avoid a rabid frenzied Saturday morning. Coffee; nothing to fault in the pour over; well presented and tasty. Cute little names like Mr T for a rum iced tea, and Ginny Hendricks, well I'll let you guess that one. Great staff and service as well. There's also a cute little tea menu in drinks, and the food menu overall, looks pretty damm impressive. Can't really find anything negative and wish to return, although not at times when it's teeming with too many weekend brunchers/people in for breakfast.
