brunch – Page 6 – LINNIE EATS ALL THE FOOD

Manna Lane, Mooroolbark

July 21, 2017 2 Comments

Since having moved out, Mr D and I have not had a local brunch date and explored the area. Since we had a Sunday to ourselves, we decided to have brunch (mostly because Mr D didn’t want to cook breakfast) and I started googling around to find – A. the closest brunch spot and B. highest rating. We (we really means I) finally decided on Manna Lane and I’m so glad we did because it was the cutest cafe around. Located close to Coles and right next to the station, it’s easily accessible and if there’s no space inside, there’s outdoor seating (although they don’t have a heater so remember to rug up).

Mr & Mrs Anderson, Hawthorn East

Mr & Mrs Anderson a new cafe which opened in December 2016 which makes it quite fresh on the blockin Hawthorn East. With a focus on sustainability and the majority of produce that is used are from their farm in Moe and straight onto the plate in the cafe. What’s even more impressive? The chef comes from Michelin starred restaurants and have worked in amazing Australian eateries including Attica, 3 bags full and circa just to name a few. The chef is bringing fine dining to cafes and it definitely shows in Mr & Mrs Anderson.

Saint James Cafe, Malvern

Malvern, the inner east suburb in Melbourne with cutie patootie houses and great places to eat so it’s no surprise that the new up and coming English inspired cafe Saint James Cafe opened up right on the main street.

Junkyard, St Kilda

If you’ve been to Sardi Cafe in Hawthorn and love it as much as I do, you’ll be super duper excited to know that Sardi has a sister cafe, Junkyard cafe located on Inkerman street in St Kilda. With the same owner, Ash, you can be sure that the quality and service are top notch. It’s hidden away in near a building complex but you can see the sign from afar and thus get super excited while you walk towards it.

Kafe Karizma, Mount Waverly

It was wedding planning time and as you would know, wedding planning is tiring and uses oh so much of my energy so I needed to replenish of course. We wanted to stay in the local area and I quickly googled the closest cafe and BAM Kafe Karizma showed up. When we got there, it looked like a takeaway place and we were a tad disappointed. However, things changed once we stepped inside.

The stooges haven’t seen each other in FOREVER which mean it was time for a catch up so…we chose brunch and decided to do something local – Jack B. Nimble. Lucky for Mr D, he got to come along to our brunch date and see how awesome we were. There’s a few parking spots right in front of the the cafe but if you couldn’t snag a spot, there’s parking around the corner so don’t fret my lovelies.

It was our last catch up with the Traveling couple before the jetset off for two years so we decided to do the most Melbourne thing and have brunch at the most cutie patootie cafe name Three Monkeys Place in Doncaster East.

Higher Ground, Melbourne

Today Stooge 1 and I were on our way to write postcards for terminally ill children which is such a lovely meet up but before we did, we needed to have brunch. Today’s pick was Higher Ground, the latest cafe from the teams from Top Paddock and Kettle Black. Luckily, we arrived at 10AM so it wasn’t full yet and we got a seat within 5 mins of arriving.

Sardi Cafe, Hawthorn

I had my Linnie day which meant a catch up with Miss Asian Fusion with no sight of Mr D for the whole day. We did a little road trip (anything more then 30 minutes equates to a road trip in our books) and headed on down to a little cafe, further down from all the shops stood Sardi Cafe. Sardi Cafe has been opened for 2 years now and it’s quite a local gem.

White Mojo, Balwyn

If you are up to date with any social media, you’d definitely have seen some of the prettiful dishes from White Mojo in the city. Did you know that there’s another White Mojo in Balwyn and it’s hip and happening just like the one in the CBD. I dragged Mr D to Balwyn to check out the bustling White Mojo.
