I’ve been booking places via Dimmi and I finally got a $50 voucher to use (SCORE!) and so I took Mr D to a brunch place I’ve been eyeing – Dr Jekyll in the heart of St Kilda.
Two Brothers Mitcham, Mitcham
We were doing adult things and were house hunting which means there were hour long gaps in between each house. Mr D suggested (yes, he did and not me) to have brunch (YAY!! BRUNCH TIME!) and we found Two Brothers Mitcham.
Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar, Melbourne
I’ve been bugging Mr D to take me to Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar for yonks now and finally (YES, FINALLY!) today was the day. It always caught my eye because it’s an Italian family-owned bar and it’s just the cutest thing when you see it from the outside.
Gemelli Cafe Grill Opening Launch, Point Cook
Gemelli Cafe Grill is the new eatery at Point Cook offering burgers and steaks from the grill and aims to use local produce and give back to the community (naww). I was invited by Yolk Agency and Gemelli Cafe Grill to attend their opening launch and all opinions expressed are my own.
Doughboys Doughnuts, Melbourne
The babies introduced me to Doughboys Doughnuts a year ago, when they had a little pop up store and you had to follow them on instagram to figure out their current location. The first time I had the apple crumble and the taste still lingers on a year later. So, when I had a chance to do training in the city, I rushed over to Doughboys (now permanent shop) at lunchtime since they only open on weekdays from 7AM – 4PM. I ran inside and was hit in the face with the smell of freshly baked doughnuts. There were currently 3 flavours today – blackberry buttermilk, apple cider and key lime pie.
Back Pocket, Melbourne
Last day of training and the clock strikes 12 and BOOM, lunchtime again. Whilst in training, I bookmarked a cafe just around a corner which looked absolutely adorable – Back Pocket.
Sbriga Espresso Bar, Melbourne
I was in the city for some training and it was lunch time, which meant I needed to find a place to eat on my lonesome. Since it was forecast to rain, I didn’t want to venture too far and BAM I found a cute little espresso bar, Sbriga.
Kyoto Cafe, Ringwood (Eastland Shopping Centre)
Shopping around Eastland with Mr D and his nephews and I needed my sugar fix. We dropped by Kyoto Cafe because he had heard it was pretty delish so in we went. We were immediately attended to and was shown to our seat by the friendly and polite staff. I decided to go all matcha and got the matcha opera which was their signature cake.
If you love matcha, you’ll definitely will ADORE this little sweetness heaven. It was soft, it was moist, it was super duper matcha-filled! Mr D wasn’t a big fan but that’s because he don’t love matcha yo!
Rudimentary, Footscray
Brunch time with my girlies and Mr Burberry and we wanted to go somewhere local on a Sunday morning and settled on Rudimentary. Rudimentary is unique in that it’s in a shipping container (sayyyy whhhhat???) which means it can be picked up and moved anywhere! The outdoor section is really spacious and very cute, little kids running around and quite a few plants out and about. We got there at 10:30AM and had to wait for 1 hour (Oh em gee, I thought I was dying of starvation) and finally got a table for 5. The staff were super friendly and it was spacious on the inside. Order up guys!
Top Paddock, Richmond
Brunch time with the girlies and we all decided a central cafe and it ended up to be Top Paddock.
