  Lizzies first impression: In the humble surburb of Northcote, this cafe is bustling on a weekend. The staff here are extremely attentive and wonderful.

  Lizzie enjoyed: I loved the Mc Daddy which was the Mac n cheese croquette with sauted mushrooms and poached egg – it was simply delicious. The breakfast gnocchi was another winner and I highly recommend this for anyone who loves pasta!! It was cooked perfectly.

  Lizzie did not enjoy: I honestly did not like the cumquat hotcakes at all – it felt like it was three flour free orange almond cakes instead as it was moist and overly sweet unfortunately. I really didnt want it to happen but my poached egg on the McDaddy was over cooked.

  Lizzie rates overall: Apparently the spring menu is changing up next week onwards so keep your eyes peeled!

  Gosh Northcote has changed since I used to live here. This was evidenced today with an exceptional range of unique dishes in a bright and breezy courtyard setting down the side of Field Black.

  Today we started with a couple of coffees, the Padre beans were lovely, my almond latte was strong and creamy, just delicious.

  For brunch we dined in the Chefs Crunchy Granola and OMG, this dish has to be the prettiest ganola I have ever been served. I felt like I was at the beach, the incredible blue spirulina coconut yoghurt is the most unique shade of blue and pairs perfectly with the crunchy nutty granola, peanut butter pretzel and blueberries. This granola is the perfect balance of sweet and salty and is wonderful with the coconut yoghurt.

  We also had the Spring Has Sprung smashed avo with pumpkin sourdough, pea pure, poached egg, goats curd, hemp seed dukkah and soft herbs. The earthy flavours of this dish amaze, the greens (peas, broad beans, edamame, asparagus) work spectacularly well with the Meredith goats cheese and the citrusy avocado, this dish was fresh and tasty.

  For brunch dessert we shared the Brle Banana Split hot cake. (It reminded me of a kids birthday). This cooked in the bowl hot cake was lovely and light with the most insanely incredible toppings. (From now on I only want to eat my bananas brled with a peanut brittle crumb)!. The brulle bananas were not too cooked and had that perfect texture with a sensational crunchy topping. The salted caramel and salted fudge pouring sauce stopped this dish being over the top sweet. For the kiwi confectionery fanatics you will love the inclusion of a perky nana chocolate bar in this dish too.

  Easily better than any other cafe I have tried in Northcote and certainly deserving of your visit.
