Yes, food can be magic when made with care and served with a smile and that is what you will get at in Yarraville, just opposite the train station.



Not overtly obvious from the outside, it is the first shop as you come into the shopping strip. You may see people sitting in the window. They are not just window dressing, they are real people enjoying some damn good food.

First time I went in, it was for a coffee. I was instantly greeted and I, having been accustomed to ordering at the counter I blurted out my order. Met with a lovely smile (and possibly the thought that I should chill) I was seated and my order confirmed to me as the waiter provided a glass of water and happily went away to place it with the barista. I also opted for a vegan cupcake, which looked delightful and had me intrigued, have you ever tried a beetroot cupcake?



Well, the coffee was awesome and the cupcake was moist and gorgeous... and so I went back again for lunch the following week.

This time my companion had baked eggs with mushrooms, fetta and tomato kusundi. Served in the pan, it was a change from the usual fare offered, and received a four star rating out of five.



I opted for the avocado on sourdough, and additional toppings. On the menu, this is served with feta, however I requested mine without. It was a taste sensation with the dukka and the pomegranate seeds bursting in my mouth. Definitely would recommend this dish.



Service on both my visits was attentive but non-intrusive. The cafe vibe is relaxed, with many people on their own stopping in for a meal. There is an open courtyard out the back, great in warmer weather.

The menu I found a little limited, with mainly breakfast options. However there are specials on the board and freshly made salads 'of the day'. There are plenty of sweets and sandwiches on display too.



The quality and presentation of food and coffees were better than most cafes I have tried in Yarraville. Stop in for something a wee bit different. Let me know what you think.
