Review: Fifty Acres
Breakfast is traditionally not a meal made to share, nor do we like to share a delicious fry up. However, this is a rule we’ve been breaking as of late at Fifty Acres. One of the newest cafe’s to hit the Punt Road end of Bridge Road, Fifty Acres is a beautifully designed, modern cafe...
Review: Mazzitelli
If a cafe or restaurant’s clientele is particularly loyal, you know you’re onto a good thing. In the case of Mazzitelli, rumour has it that one loyal patron makes the pilgrimage daily from her home in Sunshine – that’s when we decided to find out what all the fuss was about. After several sittings and...
Review: Duchess of Spotswood
We first heard about “the Duchess” through a Spotswood local, and twelve months later the wait and mini adventure across the Westgate was worth it. Temporarily distracted by the art for sale on the walls and the elegant, feminine decor – we commenced the tough decision of what to experience for our first Duchess of Spotswood...
Review: Ludo Food Store
Ludo Foodstore is the kind of foodie store and cafe that we would like to run one day. Tucked away opposite the Sandringham Library, this is where you go to eat and retreat. Expect decent coffee, great foodie products and ingredients but above all consistently delicious meals. We love Ludo’s scrambled eggs on sourdough with avocado...
Review: Hawk and Hunter
Southside food hunters with keen eyes, if you’re after your next feed, we know where you can find it. Hawk and Hunter is another addition to the Tommy Collins Group – super caterer’s and the people behind one of bayside’s most exciting cafe’s, The Little Ox. Expect flavourful breakfasts like pear and cranberry bread...
Review: DOC Mornington
First came D.O.C in Carlton, then D.O.C decided to spread their gift of great pizza to the Peninsula – and believe us it’s more packed than the Peninsula Springs! Not only is this D.O.C closer to the sea, you get the same menu, and a delicatessen and produce store to go with it. Have...
Review: Oasis Bakery
Oasis bakery is honestly an Oasis, not only in Murrumbeena but in Melbourne. It is one of the most extraordinary middle eastern food shopping experiences you will ever have. Let’s start with their supermarket (what they originally traded as before their HUGE facelift). Find literally shelf after shelf and fridge after fridge filled with staples...

Review: Cheeky Chinos
Cheeky Chino’s is a space where families can indulge in Melbourne’s Cafe culture at its best. Great coffee. Great food. Great decor. Fancy babycino’s and a cute kid’s menu and an amazing, staffed kid’s play space that will have you wishing you were the toddler. I adore the banana bread with poached pear, pistachio crust...
Review: Gardiner and Field
One of Armadale’s newest additions is Gardiner and Field. Gorgeous simple fit out, modest breakfast and lunch menu with a few interesting additions like the quinoa and pumpkin fritters with hummus on flatbread ($16), or the baked strawberry and raspberry tortillas ($14). What stood out for us here though, was the coffee. Flavoursome, not too...
Review: Fress
Fress is a busy little café in the heart of Caulfield South. It’s surprisingly hard to find a good brekky spot in Caulfield. Fress brings a great Israeli influenced menu to the area, yummy strong coffee and of course welcomes the little tackers too. You can choose to take some of the fresh salads and...
Review: Glenda’s Bakery
What’s Pho’ lunch? We recommend this authentic Vietnamese soup from Glenda’s Bakery Pho’ sure! Just $9.90, it’s the same quality and freshness that you’d get from Victoria St only you won’t have to trek as far. Glenda’s also offer fantastic options for lunch like traditional Vietnamese salad rolls, coleslaw and rice dishes, as well as...
