Well, I found this one, and it turned out to be quite delightful actually. There was a nice atmosphere, and the staff were quite friendly as well. Another thing that stood out in my mind in regards to this place was that they did a rather nice pot of tea, and the benedict was delicious. Yeah, this place was pretty good.

What a shame, as this cafe was tops and over the years I have visited many times, however it…read moreappears that it has taken a dive since the new management took over. My friend and I had not come in a while and just ordered our normal items when we visited this week - we were not aware there had been a change in management at this point. After receiving the order (which was very poor indeed) we realized that something had changed and asked one of waitresses if there had been a change in management - she confirmed that this was the case. We wondered why there where very few in the cafe when we arrived, and now understood why- my friend and I are not planning to visit again any time soon.

We were promptly greeted by a server who brought water and menus to the table. Within five minutes more patrons entered the cafe, the lunch rush had begun. My dining companions and I ordered drinks as we examined the menu. Iced latte, fresh juice and a berry smoothie, all of which tasted good. After a while I didn't enjoy the berry smoothie, it was too sweet for me however I think that was the size of the drink - it came in a giant milkshake cup. The menu is decent in size and has some delicious looking options. One friend ordered a Chicken Schnitzel Burger from the display case, another friend the Beef Burger, I got the Mighty Burger. All our food came out promptly and hot enough to enjoy, but it could have been hotter. We were all intrigued by the purple buns which the two beef burgers came served on. We also enjoy some chips, good sized, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. We all agreed we'd come back just for the chips. Overall the food was delicious, with good portion sizes and reasonably priced. We left with a takeaway coffee which was hot, and well made, a little milky so I think I'd ask for an extra shot next time. The atmosphere was pleasant, soft music, polite staff who acknowledged those they knew with smiles and a personal greeting. The open kitchen was intriguing as you were able to watch the chef prepare and cook each meal, even as things got busier he was able to continue delivering meal after meal with little help in a reasonable time. I only have two complaints; firstly the metal stools aren't overly comfortable to sit on for a significant time, so either sit on the benches with the cushions or pinch a cushion for the stool! Secondly there was a patron out the front of the cafe who was having a loud opinionated discussion with his dining companion. This didn't make the most pleasant experience as his voice carried in and through the cafe however this isn't necessarily a reflection on the cafe and he left shortly after our food arrived. Overall the Penny House was a pleasant experience and I'll definitely return to try out the rest of their menu.

The Lilydale General is brand new and it's obvious that the creators care about good produce and know a thing or two about what the public are wanting these days. I spied products from Mount Zero and milk from Jonsey's Dairy. The fit out is great, though the music choice when I was there did nothing to add to the atmosphere. Metal? In the afternoon? In a cafe that has decor reminiscent of an American Diner meets hipster Melbourne Cafe? Very odd indeed. My long black was decent enough. Any bitterness I'd chalk up to the darker style roast of Coffee Supreme, rather than the technique of the barista. It's certainly going to be where I head when I find myself on the way out to the Yarra Valley and in need of a hit. Hopefully next time I'll be here at the right time for breakfast as the menu has some interesting options including fish tacos and pancakes!

With its prime location on busy Bridge Road, Mayday Coffee and Food brings another option to the growing list of specialty cafes opening along the strip. The street-corner cafe is a large open space that wraps around one edge of the counter and kitchen area. A sleek mixture of black and stained timber furnishings, white painted brick walls, a scattering of hanging baskets and potted plants and an array of downlights provide an inviting and modern vibe. Seating is a mixture of small tables and communal benches. There is also a row of small tables outside around the street front. Axil is known for their creative twists on classic cafe dishes and Mayday is no exception. Designed as an all day dining menu, highlights include the Croque Madame with smoked ham hock, S'more chocolate waffles with cookie parfait, Patatas bravas with chorizo and fried eggs and the Smoked slow roasted beef brisket with with a sweetcorn and cheddar johnnycake and chimichurri sauce. On this visit the Herb crumbed chicken breast with cabbage, apple, peas, bacon bits, chilli and tarragon mustard. The cabbage and apple were shredded and presented as a form of semi-dry slaw perched on top of the juicy yet crunchy chicken breast. The chilli slices provided a welcomed spice hit. A range of pastries, tarts and slices are displayed in a glass cabinet on the counter for that mid-afternoon sweet snack. Cronuts are also available, but on Sundays only. Coffee on offer is a blend and a single origin with espresso and filter options, including cold drip. A range of teas, juices and thickshakes are available. Unlike it's sister cafes, there is also a small selection of beer, cider and wine. Mayday Coffee and Food brings yet another quality addition, backed by a powerhouse name, to what is quickly becoming the Bridge Road destination cafe precinct.
