We came across Carram, it's a cute cozy cafe with a peaceful ocean blue and white interior. I ordered their Malaysian roti with chicken curry and my husband got the Mamak beer curry. The beef melts in your mouth and the seasonings were really good! The roti were a thicker pastry type, I ordered the 2 pieces and would have been satisfied with 1. I left little room to try their stuffed kumava, which was also good. Staff was really friendly, also looks like a good place for brunch and an expresso. If you're ever in Davenport this is a great stop for a hearty bite to eat!

Unfortunately all of their nice outdoor reed chairs and tables outside were taken by the time we arrived- since the sun was out in full shine but next time though! We were lucky to get the grace of the fan to cool us down a bit at least, after some sun exposure just prior where we sat. We nabbed a round table in the back corner next door to their great cabinet- which appealed more than their standard cafe menu. Nothing really jumped out at me but just the look of their sandwiches made the decision an easy order. A blackboard behind the counter for reading of the menu as well. Noticed a small open window that peeks into the kitchen as well as several paintings to be sold on the walls. A cool corner in the front with green hanging pots. Loved the open glass front with it's automatic door and communal tables. Shared bathrooms by this block of shops around the back if you need it. Picked their toasted beef and beetroot sandwich which had beetroot red-dyed gherkin slices, fancy salad, grated carrots, sliced cucumber on black and white sesame seed-ed bread with a side of spice, bay-leaf infused tomato sauce. Big fan of the sauce. Loved they arrived on sweet little grandma-reminiscent plates after a bit of a toasting. Noticed the other sandwiches available- equally tasty looking as well as the array of sweet baked goods on the counter under a transparent cover. Must come back to try satisfy a sweet tooth as well as a coffee- especially after the paintings of their anthropomorphised coffee machine around the walls.

A short walk from Cheltenham Beach and nearby North Head Reserve, Vauxhall cafe gets a lot of…read morewalk-in from dog owners and the exercise conscious, as well as well-to-do locals in Devonport. It's off the main commuter route so patronage seems to sit in more than takeaway. They have indoor and outdoor tables, but indoor is genuinely nicer. Road noise and adjacent traffic intersection and bus stop can be noisy at times. On the upside they make wonderful coffee, freshly cooked meals and have a real family friendly vibe going on. The ambience is "70's student flat", which is cool because most of the middle aged hipsters who live around there were students in the 70's. Makes sense. The cafe is small and often crowded, waiting staff are competent, and they have wifi. If you're on the beach and want to eat, they are worth trying, or you could visit Devonport Village for a better experience at a lower price.

Every item on every plate was delicious - my family and I had the lamb shoulder (which had a large portion of meat), the catch of the day, the chicken liver entrée/ appetizer, and the bouillabaisse (fish stew).

The cafe has a European feel and I had the feeling I was somewhere in France or Italy - I was dreaming about it anyway. I would definitely recommend this cafe and will be back again.
