Summary: 4.2. Very good contemporary Melbourne cafe. Equal to many or most highly rated places…read more Food, coffee and service are all excellent. Simplicity is the key here. Everything is done well. Nothing is over complicated. Review: The cafe is on the north side of lower Heidelberg road. It's a pleasantly laid out establishment. There are nice wood featured chairs and tables throughout. A wood covered front counter as well. Brick walls throughout too with one small tiled wall. There's a reasonable distance between tables. Nice lighting is also featured. Conventional music playing on the sound system, a bit prosaic for me but I could have just scored the wrong rotated playlist. Maybe needs something a little softer. Overall the space has a nice warm cozy feel that was very likable . I scored a pleasant greeting on arrival. It was hard not to notice the manager and staff interacting well with patrons, which enhanced the nice feel of the cafe. I had a beautiful coffee first off which came out quickly after I ordered it. It was a rich, dark, well made brew with impressive length. No half measures were taken on this long black. It was a beauty. The food is the key though, eh. It's a smallish menu here for all day breakfast and lunch. I found that an advantage as too many menu items can befuddle a simple soul like me. Nothing was overcomplicated and this menu offered ample choice I thought. I ordered the curds and beets dish off the lunch menu. This consists of goats cheese croquettes, heirloom baby beets, beetroot pesto and a frisée salad. It's a rustic looking dish but wonderfully so. It made for a gorgeous lunch that gave me all the freshness, health and flavour I was after when I walked in. The goats cheese croquettes were soft, delicate and exquisitely flavoured. They were really lovely. The heirloom beets of various kinds were excellent too. Tasty with just the right amount of give. Lovely greens with a good dressing as well. The side of peas and broad beans was really delicious too. I could barely fault these dishes which were very good. Maybe a tiny bit more seasoning on both dishes, although maybe many people want to control this themselves. I found myself preferring this cafe to a few of those in the inner north. The concentration here is on substance not style. I thoroughly enjoyed the cafe which has only been open a few months. Based on this experience, it will do very well indeed.

The french toast is a bit too thick, and a bit dry. The hotcakes are also a bit of a miss- again, too dry, not enough sauce. Someone needs to take a tip from the French and get some butter into those pans and on the grill! The sauces are overly sweet, without enough tang on the french toast and hotcakes. The staff aren't overly friendly, which is a bit of a bugger. Outside tables are nice, but it would be nicer if there was no smoking permitted under cover. The inside tables are a bit squished in the space, and they have funny bar underneath the tables that make it difficult to cross your knees under them. I know- a bit of a funny complaint, but if you want to kick back and read the paper whilst sipping a coffee, it's good to be able to sit close to the table. All in all, a nice spot. Wish they were open past 3pm- I would certainly be there more frequently!

Heidelberg locals know this and flock here to enjoy the "best Iced Coffee in Melbourne" as stated on the cafe window! Scintilla is a great place to reward yourself with brunch after grocery shopping or a central place to meet up with friends and family for lunch. The breakfast menu is great, and my favourite dish is the Mediterranean scrambled eggs. The coffee here is pretty standard, so those who view coffee as a religion (I totally understand) may be unimpressed. It does the job though. However the iced coffee is excellent so give that a whirl if you want a coffee fix! The service Is friendly and fast paced and on a busy Saturday morning if your local you will run into someone you used to know!

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.

I found that the service too bad, and they were reasonably helpful as well, but the food choices didn't seem to be all that great. Still they did make some rather nice, and quite crispy, fries, so I did actually like that. Yet, the place didn't seem to jump out at me in the way that some places tend to do. I was nice, but not as great as some.

I ordered the chilli scrambled eggs. These had a pleasant nicely balanced warm lips generating flavour. I initially thought the dish but a little light on for eggs. The sourdough the eggs were were perched was good but a little bit thick. But, by the end I thought I was probably wrong about those two aspects. The dish was very nice and the size was basically perfect. Other meals were much enjoyed by our party of 6 including the world's most beautiful woman's pumpkin toastswith avocado, chick peas, oven roasted tomatoes, etc. There was delightful service throughout from a number of servers including one in a beanie and black t shirt who was exceptional.

Had a coffee while waiting for my food. My Gwad! The coffee was beautiful. I mean it not only looked beautif but was very delicious too. When the food arrived and I inspected the chips... 'On my gaawd' I screamed like Kim Kardashian. Although I'm a guy, I just couldn't find a better expression to explain how wonderfully the chips were done. But did I care..No! I screamed again when I noticed the pizza. I wish I could write more but I gotta go home and eat. It's a beautiful place, please support them. Cheerios Gary.
