From the staff (who…read moreis practically my bff now) to the menu and amazing food, everything was inspired and most importantly delicious. I've missed this. I've missed Cafes that surprise me! And I was surprised and excited and I felt 21 al over again! It wasn't fancy food, it was food Ol' honest cuisine! And I want to go back. Again and again. The specials were what grabbed our eye today as well as a trusty bagel! And I was jealous of everyone's meal and they were jealous of mine, and it was really how brunch should be! FOOD ENVY everywhere! Look forward to seeing you again True North! You're worth the trip!

I wouldn't write home about it, or rush here to try it, but it's solid, and the prices aren't bad. Coffee was average. I ordered a long black, so maybe that's why? It was made correctly, with mot too much water used (this is key, because many cafes screw this up, even at fancier cafes), but in terms of flavour, it was lacking. Perhaps I should try a flat white next time? I'd definitely come here again if I was close to Bell St, and was too lazy to walk to True North. I really wanted to try the reuben sandwich, but it'll need to wait until next time I'm in the area!

Half Moon is up there with my favourite businesses in Coburg. I first ventured here to try the…read morefelafel and have been a regular ever since. The felafel are made fresh to order and you can have three of these plump, hot, gently spiced babies stuffed in a pita bread with a combination of vegetarian items. There's six options to choose from, but why you'd get anything other than the "Half Moon" with chilli sauce I don't know. Think crispy felafels, salad, olives, pickles, hummus... wrapped in a warm pita and weighing almost the size of a small child. This whole thing will set you back a mere $8. Other than the fact that the food here is delicious and cheap, the owners and staff are really what make this a worthy experience worth crossing town for. Run by a family for the last 12 years, they're super lovely and really care about their customers. The "father" is so kind and will make a point of walking around the tables outside to check that his customers are happy, that they have enough napkins and that they're looked after. I love chatting to him and if I time my lunch break right I might be able to sit with him while he has his lunch break in the late afternoon. Customer service doesn't cost anything, yet there's not many places that get it right or enjoy it as this family does. 5 stars.

I was left a little underwhelmed by the Half Moon Cafe. Maybe it was the glowing reviews, or maybe…read moreI was expecting something more authentic because it's Coburg. We arrived one busy lunchtime, and joined the line of people ordering kebabs. I went for the eponymous Half Moon sandwich, which was with falafels and salad. The woman taking our order at the counter asked us to take a table outside and the other would be brought out to us. I thought she was clever to be able to remember which order went where without any table numbers or tickets. It turned out she didn't have a clue, and our order was bounced around between 4 different tables before it was given to me. At one point, she even gave the order to me, then took it away, and then returned to hand it to me again! The sandwich itself was good value at $8, but no where near as large as others have suggested. I finished it without a problem, and I wouldn't consider myself to have a bigger appetite than most guys. The salad and sauce was nice, but the falafels were ordinary. I'd have preferred them to be crunchier on the outside and soft inside. The other disappointment was that they used packet pita bread rather than baking their own, as any proper restaurant in the middle east would do. Even so, if I were in Coburg again, I would return to Half Moon Cafe for lunch.

Though…read morenot as cool as all the Brunswick cafes further down Sydney Road, Two Monks is the best of Bro-Burg (Coburg). If you go on a weekday, have one of the "Coburg" sandwiches, which you can't get on weekends. They also have yummy desserts (marsbar cheesecake, mmmm) and fresh squeezed juices. The weekend menu has brunch classics (the french toast served with strawberries and walnuts is delicious) as well as Coburg-esque dishes, such as the toasted falafel sandwich. The staff are always friendly and there's lots of seating with spacious tables, so you can always settle down for a while and read or just people watch along Sydney Road.

As such, I ended up going elsewhere.
