My first visit to Light Years was for breakfast; a delicious and unforgettable meal it was…read more The location was off the beaten path, it took me about 15-20 minutes walk from the nearest metro. I was wondering why such a popular spot would be so isolated? But all is well worth the effort to get here. The venue is brimming with natural lighting, classic charm and warmth. For my breakfast, I ordered the Pixelated avocado (on a sourdough toast) because it just looked so darn intriguing. I didn't expect anything else to be honest, and turned out this was GOOD!! Every single element in this dish has complex flavors that compliments each other. The chili dried air kale, diced pixelated avocado and the soft shell crab was especially stunning. The dish certainly performs to its Instagram ability. For my drink, I ordered their matcha latte; it was strong tasting yet smooth. I could drink this all day! The Light Years is certainly not disappointing in any way, from the beautiful venue to the outstanding food, supported with service and ambiance for days. Easily, my favorite brunch spot in town at the moment and much to recommend you :).

Recently opened at the bottom of a new apartment block just along from the Camberwell tram depot, it should not be confused with Lights in the Attic cafe which is a bit further down Camberwell Road. The fit out is the now common scandi/minimalist affair with a smattering of potted greenery. Coffee is from Dukes, but the star of the show here is the food. All the dishes I saw coming out looked great and were good sized portions. I had the bircher and it was a generous serve, looked pretty and tasted even better. Overall a good value and tasty option for brunch/lunch in the leafy inner east.

Great news for family with kids, this place is perfect for you. After or before your lunch, you can visit the farm to play the animals and the farmer markets around the corner. Another plus point is they provide kids menu. Overall food prices is very reasonable, all dish below $20 with the ingredients are fresh, organic, free-range, homegrown from the farm itself or local produces. The Farm Cafe is a unique experience and the staff are all friendly and attentive. The only let down on summer days there might be flies and wasps flying around

Mr…read moreWednesday is the sort of cafe that belongs on a treasure map replete with X marks the spots as well as several cryptic clues. It's located along train lines in a discreet quiet pocket of the Fairfeild suburb. In essence, to go on a search and adventure, Mr Wednesday awaits your arrival. Inside it has a fantastic fit out; with great design elements and a well planned floorspace. Shelving in the kitchen maximisies storage area without being too cluttered or cramped. Overall Mr Wednesday has a very pleasing presence, with relaxed confident service. Eating in, one is allowed to dine at the pace they wish, and nothing feels rushed. Staff do their thing, but only when needed, i.e. there is no minimal intervention for asking for anything further or how the experience is going. Perfect. Filter coffee is a winner, and the jerk chicken burger in a brioche bun (Dench qaulity) is sublime. The best part is, the aforementioned burger comes fantastic home style potato chips. All in all nothing to fault; switched on easy going staff in a pleasent evironment.

It was pretty tasty and looked spectacular but for its price point was typical for brunch. A bit underwhelmed by the coffee - was expecting a little better. Staff overall were pretty nice and helpful but unfortunately when taking away the dishes, one managed to drop a knife and fork over a companions jacket (accidentally but still..) Nice place to check out when in the area nevertheless :)

My partner absolutely loves the Sago Pudding there and I pretty much love the entire breakfast menu. The Old Milk Bar Cafe gets packed out pretty quick, so you either have to get there early or be prepared to wait a little while for a table.

My sister and I ventured out here to try this place for brunch. We were seated immediately in the…read morecorner. Our server was very friendly and helped us with the menu and answered all our questions. GLORIOUS GREEN SMOOTHIE- banana, spinach, kale, avocado, honey, almond milk, and pea protein This smoothie was very light. It tasted healthy, but still sweet. The banana flavor was strong so it overpowered the kale and spinach and the avocado didn't have a taste, but it made the smoothie thick and smooth. PRANA LOOSE LEAF CHAI LATTE This chai was so strong and bold. I love the thick consistency of it and the strong spices. It was very aromatic. I could really taste the spices and it wasn't milked down at all. It was so strong and so good. BUBBLE & SQUEAK- caramelized prawn and chorizo, purple potato, red cabbage, fried egg, caper hollandaise, and purple bubbles with panko and parmesan Sadly, their bubble machine was broken so we had to do without the bubbles, but the dish was still really good. Overall, this dish was very meaty. I really like the meaty chorizo with the texture and sweetness of the purple potato. The hollandaise was creamy and the fried egg was perfection. Everything worked so well together. STACK ON WAFFLES- saffron and caramelized banana waffles injected with wild strawberry coulis, topped with lemon curd, whipped cream, and chocolate macarons This dish was really good. The waffles were slightly crispy and fluffy, which tasted great with the sweet and creamy whipped cream and tart lemon curd. The strawberry coulis added some fruitiness to the dish and overall the dish was the perfect balance of sweetness. CHARCOAL CHARGER- activated charcoal organic oats, turmeric poached pear, caramelized marshmallow, coral tuile, oreo crumble, and raspberry soy milk I really liked the poached pear. It was really soft and sweet, which went well with the nutty oats, and the mushy marshmallow, and crunchy oreo crumble. The raspberry soy milk was fruity, but overall this dish was too sweet. The oreo was sweet and on top of that is the marshmallows, all coated with the soy milk. It was just too much. I would definitely come back again. It's definitely a great place to grab some brunch.

Actually, I vaguely remember going to a cafe in the area years ago, though I suspect that even if it was this one, it was probably the one that was here before this one appeared. Anyway, I rather liked it. It certainly did meet the standards of what I look for in the Melbourne cafe, particularly since it is located down a side street. So, the meal was good, the tea was good, and the service was good, so that should pretty much tell you everything.

Ultimate lunch…read more Freshness is key here, as well as simplicity and amazing taste. As mentioned by prev yelper (Celia M). The 2-3 course lunch menu is an amazing deal. They also have great cakes and pastries for afternoon tea. Earthy and full flavored soup, chips ( i don't go into the habit of being picky over my chips I promise) but geez, they make GREAT chips. Last time we visited, we had the crab salad which is amazing!
