  So impressed with brunch at Chaplains Office this morning. Quaint little cafe with really interesting and delicious menu. I opted for the peach Melba hot cakes. They were phenomenal! Super light and full of flavour. The combination of elements was perfect and the portion size was ideal. Will definitely be back to sample other dishes on the menu.

  There are lots of great places to eat in the Glenferrie area .. the thing that makes this place stand out is that it offers a calmness that is suprising given how close it is to the busy Glenferrie Road area.

  Despite being quite busy when we arrived there were lots of places to sit without feeling on top of each other.

  The service was prompt and friendly while keeping a comfortable distance.

  There were lots of yummy things on the menu to entice but I chose one of the three specials being offered .. crispy chicken bun with chips. My guest went with the crispy pork bun.

  The food took a while to be prepared after being ordered at the counter but it arrived fresh and was tasty so worth the extra bit of time taken.

  The crispy chicken didn’t disappoint; crispy, tender and with just enough spice to give it a kick. The coleslaw was plentiful and provided a coolness to offset the warmth from the spicy crispy coating. All of this was contained within a soft and toasted bun.

  My partner found the pork bun to be a treat but unfortunately it wasn’t crispy which left a feeling of dissapointment given that an expectation had been set.

  Overall a lovely quite spot for a tasty lunch.

  Hidden off the heart of Hawthorn is a cosy little cafe located in St Coulums Church. With a cosy indoor area and relaxing outdoor area this place is the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend brunch. We sat outside to enjoy the warm spring weather whilst listening to Saturday morning Choir.

  We tried the Chilli Scramble (As always), Corn Fetta and Coriander Fritters and the delicious Peach Melba Hotcakes to finish off our meal. The food was delicious made with fresh ingredients and produce. The highlight was the Peach Melba Hotcakes that were fluffy and not overly sweet. The sweet, fresh peaches complemented the perfect spring day.

  The coffees were perfect and the highlight was the Coconut Hot Chocolate.

  We loved the relaxing atmosphere, food and the wait staff were friendly and attentive even though we sat outside.

  This hidden gem is a little hard to find. It is located in St. Coulums church, hence the name Chaplain’s office. The cafe has an old school vibe to it, which is really unique. We kinda like it, very relaxing indeed.

  We got to try the Chaplain’s breakfast, sambal pork belly, and raspberry lemon cheesecake french toast. We really enjoyed the meal. The french toast was on point! Our favourite dish would be the sambal pork belly. It was so yummy.

  We also tried expresso & tonic, it was really refreshing and unique. The matcha latte was also lovely.

  The staff was really friendly and attentive.
  We would definitely come back if we are around the area.

  We came into Chaplains Office the other day and although it was hard to find, once we were inside we loved it- it felt very wholesome

  The food is a mix of Asian influence with fresh produced to produce a really enjoyable brunch menu, we tried the chilli scrambled eggs and the smoked kingfish.

  The chilli scrambled eggs were really creamy and good flavours, we loved the Asian twist on this dish- I wish there was more of a chilli kick

  The smoked kingfish was one of the more unique brunch menu items I have tried as other cafes usually do smoked salmon. The kingfish was delicate and on top of the crunchy sweet potato combined with the seaweed and smoky tea egg it was a winning dish ! Highly recommend this dish if your looking to try something different

  Thanks for having us

  I found this cafe via Instagram and have been here a few times already. I love their coffee, beans by 5 sense, I love their home made peanut butter cookie and the hot cakes! It’s such a cozy and relaxed cafe. The staff are friendly and I love that you can sit on the grass under the trees with your coffee, such a fab cafe!

  I visited Chaplains Office in Hawthorn with a friend last week and was delighted to find such a quaint caf so close to my house. I had been eying off a few of their menu items on Instagram and couldnt wait to try them myself.

  The caf is hidden on a side street off Burwood Road, and has a lovely, rustic feel inside. There are tables outside in the courtyard and ample seating inside. The staff were warm and attentive and very understanding of the toddler at our table, who was keen to paint the table with our food.

  We ordered a coffee and a chai latte to start and both were beautiful. The chai had a lovely cinnamon smell and came in a mug, while the coffee was nice and strong (just the way I like it). I ordered the chilli scramble and my friend ordered the corn fritters to share with her daughter.

  Hands down, the chilli scramble was the best that Ive had in Melbourne this year. The combination of egg, cheese, spring onion and chilli was perfect and the streaky bacon strips were delicious and crunchy. I thought that the addition of bean sprouts was an odd choice, but it actually worked perfectly and I will be adding them to my scrambled eggs at home from now on! This dish was perfect in every way and I highly recommend that you try it when you visit.

  My friend demolished the corn, feta and coriander fritters. It came with a generous serve of chorizo, avocado, pickled guindilla peppers and a poached egg. She said that the fritters were crunchy and loved that there were three little fritters instead of huge ones it made the flavour stronger and made it easier to share

  I loved our visit to Chaplains Office and look forward to returning so I can try the panna cotta and the hot cakes! Thanks for having us, team
