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.

We order our various eggs and toast combinations (for instance eggs scrambled with salmon) and continue the Christmas indulging from the day before. It's very good. The thing that really sold us on this particular cafe (as opposed to all the others open on Boxing Day) is the gluten free food on offer. The bread is so amazingly tasty we tried to track down their supplier (incidentally, also in Mailing Road, but very hard to get your hands on an order). The coffee is very well made, too, just in case it's a hang your head in your hands kind of day. Hey, we all have those, alright?

MOB "My Other Brother Cafe"…read more First time here and I wasn't let down. I'm giving 5 stars for a couple of reasons. The first being the wait staff was fast, sweet, and in gauging. It's not a large place but they had no problem seating 5 on the spot. Second reason was the food presentation. Great plating on simple dishes always makes me smile. Makes me think the cooks are happy and that makes me happy. If you can't make a sandwich look good on a plate then you shouldn't be in the kitchen. The last reason was the food it self. Simple dishes with great flavour. I loved the use of beet powder on the eggs benny, it had great colour and flavour. I was stoked that my burger came on a milk bun, I'm so over brioche and pretzel buns. The sauce on my burger was the best thousand island I've ever had. Sweet and tangy, salty and bitey! Added depth and dimension to a classic burger. Maybe it was the combo of the bbq glaze and the thousand island. Not sure what they did to it but it really made my burger taste more complex. I think maybe they just cared. The sign of a good chef is the quality of their sauces. Maybe Escoffier said that, but don't quote me. Even if the sauces where not made in house my mouth thanks you. I can only speak for the food that I ate, but the rest of the food at my table looked amazing. I will be back to try more dishes. This will definitely be my swap meet cafe stop when I shop at the Camberwell Market. 5 seats 5 friends 5 bloody Mary's 5 dishes 5 stars Thank you MOB cafe !

Being an invite, my friend had a nice introductory chat with the owner first (I just listened on since, again, I was the +1), so we got a feel for what his background was for the cafe, and the mindset and direction he wanted to take it. I was struck by his genuine nature in wanting people to have a nice, quality experience, above all, but also that he communicates with other cafes to try not to offer the same things in order to make it as unique as possible for the customer. We ordered the Scotch Pancakes, Nanban Chicken and the King Truffle. The first thing I tried was the King Truffle, and it was beyond flavorful and well-cooked. The mushrooms were not overdone and were perfectly seasoned, as we even discussed that it was just on the edge of being "too salty," but the ingredients married well together to make that saltiness just right, while the presentation was spot on. The Nanban Chicken was equally well-done, with the chicken being moist and well-seasoned, while the black rice added a nice texture and the chili gave a nice pop to the sweetness. The presentation was fabulous as well. With the Scotch Pancakes, here is where we were a tad disappointed, and especially in being told this dish was a huge favorite. While the presentation delivered perfectly, unfortunately, the execution left us wanting more. We agreed that it wasn't a complete failure, as it still was pleasant enough, but the pancakes were found to be dry and lacking flavor. I would have loved if the syrup/sauce was able to soak up into the pancake, but perhaps it was the thickness of the pancake or the slight over cooked surface; however, we felt we were biting into dry dough and there wasn't enough on top to add the flavor we needed to get through it. The mascarpone on top was flavorful and definitely helped to add what was missing, but it was still lacking, and perhaps even adding more berries could do this dish justice. Nonetheless, I am quick to say that perhaps this dish simply had an "off moment," as you don't become a fan favorite and remain as one of the few items to go unchanged from the cafe's inception without good reviews. I would definitely try this again for a second chance, however, the first two dishes made up for where this one lacked, and given that, again, I think this was simply an off moment. Can't be perfect all the time, after all!! If you are looking for a great brunch stop, I would definitely recommend this place, and do try the pancakes even, as we might have simply missed out this day. This rating should read more as 4.5 than simply a 4. Well done, overall.
