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 a dress shop or a primary school I would have had a very challenging time indeed thinking of anything to say about the breakfast it serves.

I had read several reviews on Jack & Daisy, and to be honest I had no idea what to expect. Some said it was great, others rubbish. Some complained of poor service, crap food and terrible ambience. Others proclaimed that if the cafe were a person they would allow them to babysit their infant child, thus proclaiming how reliable, perfect and wonderful it was.

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.) But the search is over. I am home. I have found my favourite place to eat breakfast. And I live here now.

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 happen in Brighton. The women have babies aplenty and they take them places. Like Olie & Ari, which struggles under the weight of all those diamond encrusted nappies.

Allergies are rife, right? I am allergic to stupid people, working 9 to 5, One Direction, cleaning up after myself and the way Sunday afternoon rushes by so quickly. Luckily for me, Camberwell boasts an allergy conscious cafe designed for people like me and also people who have actual allergies. I've spoken before about how gluten and I are fighting, so I decided to take myself along for a guilt-free breakfast. Well, it was lunch time. And also I felt mildly guilty because I did a lot of eavesdropping.
