This will be the biggest call I have made in a very long time but here goes... best brunch I have…read moreever had. There! I said it! While on a weekend away in Red Hill we checked Yelp for a nearby brunch place and found Dee's. The place was busy but not annoyingly so when we arrived at around 10am on a Saturday. The coffees were... ok, but the food, OH MY, the food. I ordered the 'delicately smashed' rosemary potato and pumpkin, with garlic aioli, poached eggs and crispy pancetta. I am drooling just reminiscing about it. It was magical. A truly hearty dish that feels a bit like a roast dinner for breakfast but you will regret nothing! My partner ordered the smashed avo, which from all accounts was equally as delectable. They offer a variety of foods and wines to take home too - perfect if you live in the area or staying nearby and can't be effed cooking. Dee's Kitchen is probably the best brunch place down that side of Melbourne. Get involved!

Super hungry but wanting more than just eggs on toast we drove over from rosebud to dromana. Just…read morefrom looking at the mouthwatering cakes and baked goods on display we were sold. The menu had great depth with plenty of inspiring options in both the sweet and savoury sides. After some debate because we wanted to try so many things on the menu we opted for the shashuka and hot cakes. The shashuka was a Middle eastern inspired dish, poached eggs baked in tomato sauce with spinach and yoghurt. We opted to add chorizo which is never a bad decision. It also came with a warm round pita that provided a tasty way to mop up runny yolks and tomato salsa. The ricotta hot cakes were superb. Sweet but naturally so. They were topped with Greek yoghurt, fresh berries and drizzled with honey and crushed pistachio. The texture was excellent and flavours worked really we'll together. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. Coffee was excellent too and service was friendly. The also have a great range of breads, deli goods and wine that you can take home. Think I'll be coming back on my next trip to the peninsula.

Perfectly cooked eggs, fresh avocado (not the going brown ones you usually get at cafes). The only thing they could do better would be to have home-made hash browns rather than the frozen triangle variety. Also asked for a spearmint milkshake in the off chance they could do it and bingo done!! I've been living in Melbourne four months and this is the first place that could make me one. It was soooooo good. LIST it on your menu guys!!!!!!

This is my favourite cafe in Torquay. Popped in this morning for an early morning post surf brunch…read moreand the place was buzzing as usual. I grabbed a seat on the communal table. My macchiato was smooth .. A touch bitter / over roasted but otherwise good. The inside area is bright and airy, with a beach side vibe, filled with surfers, couples, day trippers and locals. Service is friendly and fast but I have had my order lost occasionally. I ordered the über healthy "Buddha bowl", which tasted fresh and flavoursome. The lettuce was crisp, the beans soft and it all rather moreish. Have had many other of their menu items and there are some winners on there. Like I said best in Torquay - recommend Music - good volume (easy to chat) Newspapers - yes

Wow...I can't believe no one has written a review for this place yet. This is another favourite…read morelittle gem of a cafe that is just exceptional in every way. The decor is warm and inviting with lots of outdoor seating. The service is fantastic with staff being warm and chatty and very good at good service, making sure you feel like royalty. There is a community here of regulars and the staff all know them well. Inside there are pillows along two wall-seating areas so you can read a good book or just have a great place to sit with a friend over breakfast or lunch. I've had quite a few meals here and my all time favourites are the french toast and the chicken caesar salad. The french toast is done just as it should be, not soggy, but well done and comes with lightly cooked banana halves and crispy, crunchy bacon. The flavours all go so well together. The chicken caesar was perfect with all the components...crunchy homemade crouton slices, poached egg, crunchy bacon and a light dressing that was just right, not too oily and full of flavour. And of course I have to comment on the coffee.....excellent of course!!!! You know I wouldn't come back unless it was LOL It's one of the few places I can "not" order a "strong" latte and it comes out strong (as in not milky and full-flavoured coffee). Highly recommend this place and, it's owned by the same people as Cocos Lounge in Glen Waverley that I rave on about. Food is slightly pricier than a normal run-of-the-mill cafe, but the quality of the food you get is so worth it I'd rather eat here and know every meal I get I will like than to take my chances somewhere less expensive and not sure I'll like what I get.

It's the kind of place where you can catch up with friends for a long brunch or treat yourself to a solo coffee and feel totally at ease. The food? Next level. Every dish is beautifully presented and packed with flavour. You can tell there's genuine thought and creativity behind the menu--there's something for everyone, whether you're after something nourishing, indulgent, or somewhere in between. Plus, their coffee game is strong! The staff truly make the experience. Friendly, attentive, and always up for a chat or a recommendation - they go above and beyond to make you feel special. It's that warm, personal touch that keeps you coming back. And can we talk about the Boozy Brunch? Absolute genius. Mimosas, good food, and great vibes - what more could you want? If you're in Mornington and haven't visited The Winey Cow yet, you're missing out. It's everything you want in a café and then some. We'll definitely be back (again and again)!
