Fandango

The Roller Door
The Roller Door is a quaint little cafe quietly tucked away on a street I didn't even know existed until I accidentally drove down it. And maybe that's how they want it, but it's n...
Animal Orchestra
I have often wondered what it would be like to live in a photo collage. Luckily, with one wall being home to a cluster of retro photography and another with gilded millers, I had t...
The Corner Store
Cleverly named for its location on the corner, The Corner Store is not really a store at all, but a cafe cum restaurant that serves food. Which is lucky because obviously if it was...

Olie & Ari
I literally took my mother with me for a Friday morning at Olie & Ari. You know when you think going on a weekday will mean an opportunity for noiseless reflection? That doesn't ha...
The Bonbeach Cafe
I often drive along Beach Road between Mordialloc and Frankston, assuming that I will have many options for breakfast. I'm always so hopeful in the beginning: it's the beach! we're...

Dukes Coffee Roasters
"Are you writing a food blog?" asked the man sitting next to me. "MAYBE." I yelled. "I ALSO REALLY LIKE TAKING PHOTOS OF FOOD. SOMETIMES I EAT NEXT TO OTHER FOOD BLOGGERS AND IT'S ...
Jack & Daisy

Pearl Oyster Espresso
There are cafes in Melbourne who go out of their way to look retro, grungy and a bit alley-cat like. Since starting this blog and covering the north, west and CBD surrounding subur...
Green Refectory
It’s a quirky little place, Green Refectory. First, I walked past it several times because apparently it doesn’t need proper signage (a small, lightbox-style box in the window is e...
Merchants Guild
The south-eastern pocket of Bentleigh has been crying out for somewhere decent to eat. All of Bentleigh has, actually. It's this bizarre restaurant suck that's full of people who w...

Unfortunately, we will have to close the blog now. Yes, I know, there are hundreds of places to eat breakfast that we haven't been to yet. (Melbourne is bloody huge, incidentally.)...
Nest @ Waterways

Kicko
It may come as a surprise to you to learn that I'm rarely stuck for words. But this morning at Kicko, I couldn't make them go. I couldn't find any words. To be frank, I spent most ...

Bluebird Espresso
