Will return? Maybe for coffee but thats it
Good quality coffee but thats about it from my experience. Obviously cant comment on all the food but the Rueben sandwich was rather ordinary and way too buttery which left you feeling extremely greasy and unwell. The brisket was quite chewy too.
Prospect Espresso has been a mainstay in Camberwell for a while, but with a new talented young chef from France, the menu has refreshed for the season.
The cafe itself is still comfortable, with small tables, exposed brick walls and greenage scattered throughout.
* Chilli Prawn Scrambled Eggs – I’ve had a lot of chilli scrambled eggs and this is in my top 3. It’s perfectly folded and just set, so it’s still a little oozy. It’s actually quite a large serving, I’d estimate maybe 4 eggs used. The chilli component is actually the same type of chilli satay oil you find in Chinese restaurants, which is great because it has a roasted, smokey flavour. Fresh, deseeded chilli is also used and the prawns are nice and bouncy. Great dish.
* Hash Stack – The potato hash is made with a buttery potato mash, which has quite a thick and sticky texture. The roasted cauliflower was maybe a little overdone, as it was completely brown, but in the end it is surprisingly nutty. Also love a bit of pan-fried saganaki.
* French Toast – Superb dish, it’s probably one of the best French Toasts I’ve had for a long time. A thick slice of brioche is fried until it’s all crispy around the edges and a thick custard is slathered on top. Pavlova favourites are generously scattered on top – diced strawberries, mango, blueberries, raspberries and caramelised banana. Do yourself a favour and get this.
Prospect has found gold in a partnership with Au79 for their coffee beans. The house blend is very smooth with brown sugar and chocolatey notes. After 2 strong lattes I was completely buzzed.
Thanks to Sisi for hosting me today, and special thanks to the young chef. Keep up the good work!

This small cafe is near the heart of Camberwell junction and boasts an interesting menu of savoury and sweet dishes, as well as eggs how you like them. It is an innovative and new menu put together by a young chef from Paris.
The Bircher muesli is soaked overnight with soya and coconut milk. For the sweet tooth, try the red velvet hotcake; coated with roasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, chocolate mouse and raspberry ice cream.
I had the more healthy Grain Garden Salad today. The bowl was lined with homemade beetroot and chick pea hummus, with perfectly char grilled asparagus and broccoli and a lovely miso dressing. Filling and healthy. Popular with vegans.
My partner had the Rueben sandwich which reminded her of Montreal. A thick filling of corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut, mustard, mayo, etc. It comes with a side of real French fries.
Most meals are between $17 and $22 and are very filling. So arrive hungry for brunch or lunch.
For something lighter, there is an attractive display of cakes, sandwiches and focaccias.
The black coffee was rich and my partner was impressed with a cup of the home made lemonade; fresh, tart and a real palate cleanser.
A small and lively cafe, with interesting food and check the daily specials board.
Its a lovely cafe that we heartily recommend. Our sincere thanks for the invitation to come here and sample things from the new menu.
Lovely cafe in Camberwell. A thoughtful menu with some of Melbournes favourite brunch dishes to choose from. A great selection of coffee and juices to accompany the great dishes. French toast was a highlight as it was a recipe handed down from the French chefs grandmother.
Prospect Espresso under new Management! Its always been a well known cafe in Camberwell! Its had a menu facelift and a fresh new chef. The food was well cooked and had some great flavours through it. Generous portion size
We stopped by for brunch after visiting the Camberwell market. The place was busy, with friendly staff and good food. We got the short rib Benedict and fried chicken burger which was delicious. Only wished they gave more meat in the short rib Benedict!
I had brunch here and it is a great little cafe. I had a strong latte which was really good. I liked the coffee flavour and it wasnt too hot thank you.
I had a Prospect Hash Stack which consisted of a tasty thick hash brown, crispy bacon, a fried egg, red peppers, roasted cauliflower, picked red onion on sourdough toast.
This was absolutely delicious, and totally moorish. Oh and the side of pork belly was faultless. So yummy lol
My partner had a fried chicken burger w buttermilk marinade crumb on a chicken thigh, pineapple, lettuce and kimchi mayo on a brioche bun.
Hey OMGosh this chicken was moist all the way through and even to the last bite the chicken was still hot! Perfection
And they have a home made lemonade w fresh lemon juice, mint and honey. And the best thing for me was that there was no sugar… yay!! This was sooo good that if it was bottled Id have brought some!! It was that good lol
This place is definitely worth a visit. Thanks to the owner for the invitation to visit their cafe.
