Brunch this morning for a family birthday was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we…read morehave had for a long time. One staff member was incredibly rude, dishes were missing their advertised sides, coffee was average and the Rosti/hash which was the basis of all meals was like a rock and completely inedible. Such a waste of money especially when there are so many other lovely options in the village.

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!

Enjoyable Cafe located inside Stockland Shopping Centre…read more Food was a great price, and good quality, but nothing too fancy. Great value for money. Service was fast and friendly. Would stop by again.

Indulgence has it all, from yummy breakfast to filling lunches and dinner options... They also have…read moregreat coffee to compliment, so if you are down toward the Pines shopping centre make sure you pop into Indulgence for your next meal or even for a quick coffee / cake break. You will not be disappointed by the menu options and you will be served by very friendly wait staff. My favourites here are the chicken spaghettini, chicken and avocado foccacia (ask them to add some mushroom) & the lamb curry with roti. If you are there for breakfast you can not go past pancakes or a hashbrown (homemade hashbrown) breakfast. Make sure you if you are meeting friends that one friend gets there early to grab a table, Indulgence gets so busy that they overflow to the outside of the cafe and even to tables in the middle of the shopping centre....Actually now that I type that...it's probably better if you do get a seat outside or inside the shopping centre because if you stare at the cakes long enough you will lose all self control. They also have a Movenpick ice cream freezer which is a great little touch and has a big crowd around it during summer.

Beechworth Bakery in Healesville is one of the staple monstrous bakeries you can't seem to miss…read morewhilst in Healesville. This place is always packed. It's probably because of the huge signage that people recognize. Plus, in coming here, you know you'll get good service and food at a good price. For savoury, I usually go for the spinach and ricotta roll. I have tried their chicken pie, like most of their pies, they all have that standard crumbley crust. And then you get to the sweets. Their is no shortage of what's available to pick from. The Dame Edna with cream with subtle and light enough. The vanilla slices are massive, the biscuits are always a huge hit. It seems most of the Beechworth Bakeries offer bottomless coffee and tea. The Healesville café is a huge space that people are always bustling in and out of. And with most bakeries, you could feed a family and not break the bank, but still leave satisfied.

We've been to this cafe twice in 2 weeks because our kids just love it!…read more The standout items have been their bagels, generously filled with slow-cooked brisket, pastrami, smoked salmon, and more! If my cholesterol-levels would allow it, I'd have the chopped liver every time :) Our kids love their meat pies with tomatoey minced beef and tasty chicken sausage rolls. And the kids schnitzel and chips is a steal for a huge serve at just AU$8. There are cute cookies for kids, and seriously yummy biscuits for adults. Don't go past their chocolate babka or poppyseed Danishes. You won't regret it! Best of all, service is attentive and amazingly friendly. A gem of a cafe on a deserted row of shops in Glenhuntly.

In all consideration of the idea that some "hole in the walls" are great! This little place is just…read morethat! Excellent on service! All smiles! A must: Chocolate eclairs! potato pies, Lamingtons (when it's there- runs out fast) and the special menu!!! Ham crossiant and coffee deal!!! ... The nenish (spelling) tart!!! A delicious must! Added update: Aug 18th. 2016 I found that some of their best seller items are the following- -steak and mushroom pie -chicken and mushroom pie -Vanilla slices -The tortes- fruit or chocolate, but mostly chocolate -And their half size cakes I recommend their lunch specials/ reasonably priced and comes with coffee or cold drink.

Food: Found this place by chance one day when nowhere else was open, and now we're regulars. Their…read morecakes are gorgeous - we particularly love the almond friands, which I actually could eat 100 of every day, but they do pretty little jam tarts with crispy pastry and beautifully crafted desserts and biscuits too. Coffee is the only let down - it's fine, but not excellent. Atmosphere/service: There are a couple of tables inside and a few out on the street. We will often try to sit in if there is space, but it's definitely more of a takeaway bakery. Space is very limited and the few tables that are there only seat 2 people. Service is efficient and friendly, not much chit-chat, mostly due to the nature of the place, but pleasant and smiley. Would I recommend it: Yes! Their cakes are spot on. Don't go for the coffee, or fancy service, but if you want delicious, classic baked goods, this is a real hidden gem! Quality surpasses many of the flashier places on nearby Chapel Street, but you'd walk past this bakery 10 times before you even realised it was there.

Cafe with outdoor and indoor seating and ample street parking. Arrived here on a Sunday noon and it…read morewas almost empty inside but lots of people on the outdoor tables. Free wifi. A small selection of baked goods on counter. Menu consists of wraps, burgers and a handful of brekkie items. Despite being a small menu it caters to all tastes. My friend got the small victories sandwich which is bacon fried egg tomato in slices of bread. He inhaled it and liked the freshness from the tomato. I had the lamb wrap with pulled succulent lamb, refreshing pieces of cucumber and tomato, delicious undertones of the sauce and complementary sourness and crumbly texture from the feta. The wrap itself was a thin white wrap. I devoured mine too and the hot crinkly cut chips were a bonus Our coffees were robust yet creamy. Great value for money. Good friendly service.

It is the meal that starts your day, it should awaken you like a beautiful sunrise when you just had a 9 hour sleep. Food wise always up to scratch, I have had soup, sandwiches and the small victories breakkie. Sucker for black pudding and love the way it is served. New age fun with a vintage feel. The space feels great, always feel welcome and most importantly they tolerate me just talking shit about everything and nothing. Recommended by me. But then again. Who the fff hell am I?
