Food adventures in Melbourne and wherever the tummy goes
One of the stooges have been raving on and on about Brother Nancy and when I finally had a day free, I decided to meet up Mr Angry for some brunch. It didn’t look amazing in the front but it was quite cute once you step inside. When you step in, you’ll be greeted by the friendly staff and it’s quite cosy inside as well so be prepared to be saying hey to the next table!
When Ms Traveling comes back to visit, you’ve gotta make time to have brunch of course! So I was in charge of finding a place and I found Second wife, because well, Mr D might need a second wife after all these brunch dates I was having! Located near the Boxhill hospital, parking was limited but if you do get there early, there’s quite a few parking spots in front of of the cafe. Once you’ve found a spot, snag a table, looked at the snazzy decor and met with your buddies and finally got the menu in front of you, you’re ready to take in Second Wife.
When my colleague said he was taking me to a quaint coffee shop for some awesome coffee and tea, I was super excited. The name was the cutest I’ve seen – Coffee tea & me. Inside I went and everything in the cafe was so cutie patootie from the chairs to the decor, JUST EVERYTHING.
When the guys you work with love their coffee and take you to their favourite coffee joint, you can’t say no because, well, who says no to a good cafe joint. He took me to the Paper plane cafe which was located in a factory and it was the hippest (yep, I used that word) thing I’ve seen and I loved it.
I always try to wake up super early on work trips so I can venture out and check out the cafe scenes. Luckily for me, there was a cute spot 5 minutes walk from my hotel in Parramatta, Lil Miss Collins. It was a pop up but it was very adorable nonetheless. I walked inside (it was still situated outside though) and the staff were so friendly. I took a seat and BAM I had decided what I wanted.
When you hear that there’s a gelati bar which is also a cafe, you just have to stop by. Located right by the beach with amazing view, I stopped by for some ice cream! The staff were oh so friendly and I felt so welcomed and I just wanted to stay there forever! Unfortunately, I had work so I got the vanilla bean ice cream and my gosh it was perfect!
I got up early in the morning to roam around the beach to find a place for breakkie before I had to meet my co-workers to start our work day. Walking along I found Liquid Gold Beach Cafe and decided to drop by for something healthy (well, what I’d like to think as healthy anyway). Shame that there were constructions going on and I couldn’t have an awesome view of the beach inside the cafe. Nonetheless I went inside and was greeted by friendly staff.
Those who are always on facebook will have noticed a certain breakfast tower popping up on their feed which looks like it could feed a town. This breakfast tower was the sole reason why the K sisters chose Northern Perk as our next location for our catch up session. There’s a lot of parking on the side streets and if you get there early, you won’t miss out.
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).
Melbourne, home to the never ending cafe openings where good food is always promised. Au79 in Abbotsfords is a spacious venue which seats 200 diners with a very greenery atmosphere. There was definitely a buzz in the air and I could feel it in my bones. There were a few bite sized dishes that came around to sample.
