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.

If you're in Mansfield you must stop here.

I've driven past a few times and today I'm delighted that I stopped to try them out. It's breakfast o'clock and there is table service so take a seat and someone is right with you. They get it right with taking a coffee order right away, do I look like I need one? Well I did need one and lucky for everybody it was made promptly and delivered with a smile. Today I chose the Big Breaky Burger. I find it hard not to give these a try everywhere. I noted on the menu some additional ingredients that you won't typically see. This burger was clearly of a higher class. When it arrived (which was surprisingly quick, I guess they are quiet today, but awesome) the presentation was pretty eye catching. I blurted our something stupid and incomprehensible to the waitress. What I meant to say was "that looks awesome" and "thank you". Let's cut to the juice. The coffee is great, smooth with no bitterness! The bacon is delicious, maybe a light smokey flavour and crisped to perfection. The burger is made on a fluffy brioche bun as it should be. The avocado was generous and had a slight lemon flavour like they cared for it delicately begins the scenes. I love this place after one visit! I'll be back, and I'll bring other people. Give it a try!

Snow and Pony sounds like my kind of place…read more The space here is rather narrow and it does get really crowded in the peak periods. Just after snow school has started and ended. So pick your time carefully. There aren't a lot of seats and it can be a bit squishy when the yummy mummies insist on pushing little Quinoa and Goji in a pram through the venue. The perks are that the coffee here is really good and the sweet treats offer a decent sugar hit before you hit the slopes again. Ask the staff what's muffin specials are on for the day.

We dropped in for a cocktail one afternoon after skiing and loved the menu so much we booked in for dinner the following night. They have sharing plates or ordinary serves for those not so inclined to share ( yeah, that person is me). I eat mainly vegan/ vegetarian food and found their options to cater to my wants. I highly recommend the green papaya salad- it's in the "sides" section of the menu but I wished I had of ordered it as a main. It was amazing. Prices are a little high but it is certainly worth it. It's a small place so I would book a table do you don't miss out on this experience Oh, I didn't mention their bombe dessert....

Sure, it might not have been too close to the main city centre, but at least it is on the way there from the railway station. Oh, it also has quite a nice bit of charm, which I certainly appreciated.

Yum it was all cooked perfectly the eggs were like molten gold with the yoke pouring out when cut into. The rosti were nice and crispy with out being too fatty. As side serve of chorizo and some kale to green it up was a nice addition. Yum. Please can I go back there. Don't hesitate if your in bright.

Well first thing I spot when I drive into town was Blynzz, a family coffee roasting business that pump out a pretty mean long black. They offer up two single origin choices for your long/short/macchiatos, on my visit they were from Kenya and Peru. There's also a blend for your milk based coffees. There is a breakfast and treat menu for those that would like some food with their hit, but I didn't try this so can't comment. You can pick up a bag of their beans or some monsieur truffle chocolate which looks divine and totally indulgent. An air conditioned oasis in the heart of gold country. Sometimes leaving the city isn't a bad thing.
