Big counter where you order food and coffee and the staff were very nice and friendly. They have a selection of sandwiches, cakes and baked goods.

This was actually a pretty awesome coffee shop, though it is only part coffee shop because it also…read moredoubles as an antique shop, or should I actually say that it is a shop that basically sells curios. I love these places because it just adds so much more charm to the place, and it gives a much better vibe as well, especially when some of the curios happen to be some really nice artwork. Oh, and the tea was also really nice, but then again I was probably distracted a bit.

Eatery by the Bay offers burgers, chicken, meats, snacks, chips and plenty of healthy options. There was a good range of freshly made salads on offer. There's a few issues here though. We received slightly snappy service, although it seemed to improve as the experience continued probably after they saw me sneak a few pictures. I wanted to like the food but my roast lamb and salad was just ok. The lamb was a little dry, the Greek salad needed seasoning. There was nothing to lift it beyond the mundane and ordinary. My partner wasn't that happy with her roast beef roll either. She said it was very bland and uninteresting. Conclusion: this place needs a lift.

I was elated to discover that they did, in fact, offer a selection of my most familiar fare; burgers. My only disappointment, is that I won't be able to come back for more. I was incredibly impressed with the intense flavour that "The Cow" offered. At first glance, it certainly seemed lacking. But the flavour composition was incredible for a café burger. They should be commended for that alone. I will return.

The staff were upbeat and enthusiastic to start the day. The cafe is cozy and inviting with a few touches to make you feel at home.

Truly Scrumptious is casual and comfortable. It's hidden on Granary Lane (in between Balcombe Road…read moreand the large Safeway car park). On a sunny day, it's nice to sit outside but this isn't the prettiest of lanes. Truly Scrumptious is more of a local spot to meet rather than a hip and trendy venue to enjoy a Saturday brunch. It's typically semi-full of regulars and locals, often attracting a more senior crowd. However it's nice for a change to go somewhere calm and pleasant where there's no lines. Truly Scrumptious is also a nice spot for small groups. The prices are excellent and quite good value. My brunch recommendation is the breakky roll. It's delicious, especially that tomato relish they use, and it's also super cheap ($9.50). Coffee is Grinders and there's usually daily muffins and other baked goods. Truly Scrumptious is a pleasant suburban cafe.

The meats were unbelievably succulent! I honestly couldn't pick a favourite as they ALL blew me away...and a food baby was born. I've already been back for take away dinner. Rang up and placed my order over the phone, and when I got there, strangely enough the guy knew it was me who placed the phone order. I don't know how??! I didn't tell him my name, nothing. Eerie!
