As we speak, I am sitting in the sipping on a freshly brewed chai latte. It's a cold and rainy Sunday morning and I am giving myself a well-earned break from my usual 20 km run.
is a hidden gem, tucked away at 1 Lawson Grove in South Yarra. Blink and you will miss it. The only reason I know it's here is because a work colleague has given me the inside word.
As soon as I walk in, I feel at home. I am greeted with a friendly smile and some very cool jazz tunes. There's a relaxed, farmhouse vibe and a good combination of communal tables, bench seats and smaller nooks if you want more privacy.
The menu is small, but good. After some deliberation, I decide on the french toast with cajeta and toasted coconut, a surprising departure from my usual Sunday morning savoury feast. The food arrives in no time and it is fresh and delicious.
Next time my pick will be the Babylonian Eggs - poached eggs with baba ganoush, dukkah, feta and pomegranate. Sounds delicious.
There are a few gourmet groceries for sale - muesli, jams, vinegars - but it's the cafe that's the main attraction. Most people are here for a late breakfast and to relax with the Sunday paper.
A few tips - if you are driving, don't turn directly into Lawson Grove if you can possibly help it. It's a no-through road and ridiculously narrow. I had to do a 12-point turn to get back out again. Also, bring some cash as cards are not accepted.
I have a feeling that the will become a regular little haunt for me. Good food, relaxed vibe, Sunday papers and freshly-brewed chai. What's not to love?
