Very trendy venue, its got an array of different dishes that will please anyone! My favourite was the salmon and cream cheese dish, its not the most instagramable dish but it tasted amazing! We also enjoyed a few other great dishes. Checkout my photos below!
Nice vibrant coffee shop in Ripponlea. Great coffee, good breakfast options. Service was slow but overall nothing wrong with this place. Worth a visit if you are in the area.
Turning Point cafe is conveniently located across the road from the Ripponlea train station. It is a modern cafe that not only serves delicious coffee, breakfast and lunch but unlike most cafes also serves dinner..
Today we came for breakfast and we were most excited to try the new menu.
We ordered the Warm Pumpkin Salad, the Bircher muesli dish calledThe Point of No Return and also the Poke Bowl.
The food was absolutely and insanely delicious. The pumpkin salad was so appetizing – it came with a plentiful serving of pumpkin and the flavours on the plate went so well together. The poke bowl was really outstanding, especially due to the salmon being nice and spicy, which gave the dish a bit more of a kick and it all looked so elegant on the plate! The muesli dish – Point of No Return was the standout due to the theatrics of the smoke show what fun and so creative! The mango sorbet was delightful and added a special freshness to the whole dish.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Turning Point and highly recommend you check it out. This is one point Ill definitely be turning back for!!
The good
Salmon scrambled eggs with roe and some creamy green sauce. Soooo good. Its no longer on the menu plsss bring it back ;(((
Got seaweed tempura as a side. Pretty innovative.
The mediocre
French toast was really cute in its presentation with adorable little cones but taste wise a bit dry
The bad
Benedict was disappointing. The black cubes if rosti tastes if herbs which I dont like. The pulled beef and spinach was meh, and the miserly amount of hollandaise sprinkled on top was really unsatisfying.

Ambiance 5: beautiful clean and spacious place. Plenty of seating both in and outdoors. Which is no wonder as to why it can apparently be used for functions!
Food 5: we ordered the point of no return, pumpkin salad and sushi bowl. Each dish was very beautiful and uniquely presented. The point of no return has a wow effect as it smokes right in front of you. The mango sorbet is perfectly contrasted with the pure and bircher. The pumpkin salad was a real favourite the buckwheat was puffed (tasted like pesto kuskus), and the halloumi has to be one of the best here. If you like spice, the sushi bowl is highly recommend. This place has so many healthy options and is perfect for trying something new. The drinks were super refreshing, out of the juices we preferred the down to earth, but the peanut butter smoothie and green glow were also great.
Service: the staff here are really nice. We were welcomed and served by a really lovely girl.
Fun fact: the point of no return has dry ice under the bark

Turning Point is a very popular place. It has a groovy new fitout. But its stark concrete and wood needs some sound baffling. Its very, very noisy in here. The staff are fantastic, as is the coffee. We really liked the black cutlery – great touch. Twosheds and brunching companion ordered kale and zucchini fritters, with a side of chorizo, and scrambled eggs with bacon. The fritters were a tour de force, if a touch under seasoned before Twosheds took to them with the gourmet salt. Supremely light and fluffy, they were topped with fried kale and an exquisite purple yoghurt sauce. Accompanying chorizo was beautiful. Companions scrambled eggs were beautiful too, but the bread came without butter – a bit annoying. Bloody Mary was super strong. Suggestion for the noise issue is felt tips on chair legs to reduce scraping on the concrete.

Absolutely loved everything about this cafe. The atmosphere was lovely with incredible decor and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. Definitely worth the visit and the price you pay.
