In my opinion on ben and jerry is that they are the best ice cream place in Melbourne, their ice…read morecream is absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go again.

I could not find any gelato places in the immediate area however I did come across a Ben and Jerry's. I love Ben and Jerry's however the flavors that they had in Melbourne were not available where I live. However I did get a scoop of fish food which was still excellent. If you are in a situation where you want gelato but could not find any, Ben and Jerry's still does the trick. I would recommend.

I fall into the same trap every time I visit the QV via the Big W escalators out on the corner of…read moreSwanston and Lonsdale - I end up coming up the escalators from inside the QV and am faced with the shining beacon of sugary doughy glazed treats that is Breadtop at the top of those escalators. It's then near impossible to change trajectory as I step straight off the escalator and into Breadtop and am propelled by forces beyond my control, tongs in hand, ready to fill my Breadtop plastic tray with all manner of naughty things. I usually end up with at least one each of the tuna roll, the spring onion and mayo/cream cheese roll, a donut twist and an almond croissant. These are my tried and tested winners. For now.

I strolled past Bread Top today and was sucked in by the light reflecting off a glazed treat (Well…read morethat's my story and i'm sticking to it). Breadtop is an Asian bakery that is here to impress, popular amongst some... it is some interesting cuisine at first glance... You have savoury items such as the Sacha Pork Floss Bun and Chicken Puff but whats more appealing is the sweet stuff, Milky custard buns and my favourite the 'blueberry yogurt bun'. Yum! They have a large assortment of sweets that won't set you back too much, the cakes presentation wise are glamorous and available for purchase. They focus mainly on fruit as a decorative resource which adds a lot of colour to their cakes but after laying eyes on the ice-cream cake (ice-cream scoops toppled one atop of another in the form of a giant cake), i know where im getting my next birthday cake!

Probably more of a 3.5 but worth rounding up rather than down…read more Love the pork floss buns, the "wife cake", the cocktail cake, the jam basket, the BBQ Pork Puff and the red bean puff. The Egg tarts are just OK for me. If you have ever had the Golden Gate Bakery egg tarts in San Francisco, these will seem pretty average in comparison. The staff are friendly though a couple of them are a little clueless about packing cakes for transport.

Yep, their Swiss rolls are the bomb. These cakes have that unique asian sweetness to it that you…read morejust can't get enough. You can either grab a tray and pick your sweets and savories a la bread top and pay at the counter. As I said above there Swiss rolls are good, my picks are taro or pandan. Whole rolls are $11. Fyi - cash only!

My friends have been harping on about Heal.thy Self Co. and checking in left, right and centre…read more Well, I'm not afraid to jump on a bandwagon and that I did... I thought I'd be trying one of those cafés that offer 'healthy' (note: healthy but not really) alternatives but I was shocked when I looked at the menu and was presented with *genuine* healthy options. I opted for the smashed avo with a Ruby Red juice (beetroot, carrot, cucumber, orange and ginger) and was so happy when I was presented with an appropriate pile of avocado on delicious bread (that I could actually cut) and a healthy size serving of freshly made juice. A plus! The only down fall is that the space is quite small! Get in early (after your gym session, of course) to avoid the crowds as it's a first come, first served kind of place and given the huge amount of tasty items on the menu, it's easy to lose track of time and stay there allllll day long.

I am flippin in love with this place! Cheap (compared to Perth prices ) and amazing food…read moreI had the acai bowl with an awakening smoothie and I was absolutely stuffed and fed for $20! Brilliant! My friend had the smashed avo and a vitamin booster (which she said was like a punch in the face!) Both walked away very happy!!

Solid brunch place with some inventive breakfast items on a cool street. Ordered the babaganoush…read morebreakfast plate with two poached eggs on top of toast with grilled halloumi and a smear of babganoush on the bottom of the plate. It was tasty but the threw all of the items on the two pieces of toast piled on top of one another - like they were in too big a rush to notice or care and I had to reconstruct it myself. Would have liked a bit more of the eggplant spread given that it was featured in the menu listing up front and not barely enough to call it a condiment. Coffee looked pretty but was just okay. Nice place overall.

Close to…read morethe weekend markets and a park allowing you to do your food shopping and go for a stroll after your meal. Has outdoor seating and two sections of inner seating. It's quite cold inside. The menu has a plethora of options both savoury and sweet and their breakfast options are the most expensive. Dishes range from 17-22 dollars. We got the seasonal greens which were broccolini, kale, Swiss chard, dukkah, salted ricotta and two poached eggs. Quite a filling dish with the right amount of crunchiness, freshness, saltiness and protein a great way to Start off the day. The cacao nibs bowl with its cacao almond milk though a beautiful dish with edible flowers, berries, sunflower seeds, goji berries, and crispy orange was cold to the bone, the almond milk was watery and didn't complement the dish. Perhaps get it with yoghurt over the milk. Quite disappointing. We left it barely touched. Very quick service. Attentive staff. And split billing allowed. Portion sizes are good.

Looks a little less welcoming from the outside, but it is very modern inside. Its built into the first floor of a parking lot. Its fairly new, it appeared in mid 2017. You have to try their salted egg potato chips, they are amazing. If you are feeling even more game, give the salted egg fish skin a try, you won't regret it. They are awesome!
