This cafe, awkwardly positioned in a pocket of Pickering Road, might seem familiar. Their interior…read morehas been done before - mismatched plates and cups, famous people as table numbers, kitsch china figurines and oddly, many lifesize jars of Nutella. But give it a chance. What gives this spot a point of difference, in my opinion, is their choose-your-own-adventure style breakfast menu. They give you the base (eggs and toast - $8.90) and the rest is up to you. Pulled pork (china town style, hoisin meets char siu and dances with soy), vegetable fritter, Haloumi, mushroom, hollandaise? The list is seemingly endless. I arrived to try it all out at 11:30ish on a Friday. It's not overly busy but noisy. You've been warned. The concrete shell of this store means sound proofing isn't an option. Their specialty drink appears to be a cappucino (Genovese beans) with weird and wonderful flavours like nutella or such mixed through. I stick with a flat white that's easy to drink but lacking any oomph. I had read a review previous to going that said ask for a double-shot if you prefer a real coffee kick and I'm inclined to agree. As tempted as I was by the sides menu, I opted for a 6-in Steak & Philly Sub ($10). I've never had a philly steak before but when my plate is served I'm a little lost as what to do with the second slice of baguette. Served as an open sandwich, I'd happily pay a little less for not having the lonesome slice of bread or pay a little extra to have more topping to use on the other slice. I'd actually also love to know if I could have swapped the baguette out for it all served on a bed of spinach. I quite like what's going on at Hansell & Gretel. It's not new but it is a new take on breakfast for this particular area which (and they're directly across the road from iconic Grub Street) I think makes it an interesting game of play for locals! I liked that it wasn't stuffy or pretentious, just familiar food done reasonably well.

Hansell & Gretel is a fairly new spot in Gaythorne, open for breakfasts and lunches every day of…read morethe week. It's small, unpretentious but a bit quirky, and does good food and coffee with friendly service and reasonable prices. The menu selection has some interesting things on there (each has a fairytale-themed name - cute), with a mix of savoury and sweet options, but what is excellent is the long list of extras that means you can tailor your meal to suit. I like being able to add avocado and haloumi to everything! There is also a small, slightly more lunch-focused section of the menu which has things like a burger, philly cheese steak sub, and banh mi. I'm told the philly cheese steak sub is good, it definitely is big! I haven't tried any of the sweet menu options yet, but so far the savoury things I've tried have been yum. They have a decent looking selection of cakes/muffins/etc, many of which are gluten-free or dairy-free (or both). Hansell & Gretel is right next to train (Gaythorne station) and bus (390), but free street parking is also available down nearby side-streets. Seating is both inside and outside, I just wish the outside seats got sunshine in winter! It should be a cooler outdoor spot in summer though to make up for it. Latest update: something has changed, and it's more than the refreshed menu with higher prices (that now exceed the value for money tipping point in my opinion - I know the Woodchopper's Breakfast is huge but it's also $28 and for breakfast I just can't bring myself to pay that). I can't quite put my finger on it but H&G is definitely not as great as it used to be, unfortunately. The coffee is still good, they still play good music, and the sweet treats cabinet still rates highly, but my brunch devotion has waned in favour of other places in the area.

It's in an industrial shed but don't be fooled there is a coffee shop air con section. Counter service - friendly and helpful. Short menu and display with GF options.

This was the response I got- ---"Absolutely Kym! All of our bagels are egg free (except the gluten free bagels) and we have Gluten Free Grain Free Deek's multigrain bread for sandwiches. We do a lovely Mediterranean filling with roasted capsicum, eggplant, sun dried tomatoes, baby spinach and pesto. Naturally we can do a gourmet garden salad platter for you or we also have a chickpea salad with spinach, cherry tomatoes, cashews & macadamias throughout. For dessert we can offer a seasonal fruit plate with berries. Hope to see you Friday! If you have any special requests, please give me a call " The food and the indulgent treats looked mouthwatering yesterday. I can also vouch for the delicious coffee.. The owners really have put their heart and soul in to pleasing the clientèle, and helping the community too. There is 3 areas to enjoy your food, out front with street view which is very pleasant on this quiet location, inside with the delicious aromas and cosy atmosphere and also out back in a comfortable, clean and quirky courtyard. Highly recommended nice to know our money goes to people who genuinely care!

Pod is what a great suburban cafe should be.

Pod Espresso (technically the designation for the cafe side of things) is tiny, but so, so busy. They offer fast, handmade, fresh "takeaway" food such as sandwiches, wraps and other quick-to-grab convenience items. They also have a lovely array of cakes and desserts - both traditional, gluten-free, and vegan & gluten-free. It tends to rotate, so nothing is guaranteed. There is some seating outside on the sidewalk, but not a lot - they're much better at "grab and go". They've also started offering cold pressed coffee, which always grabs me - and they are also doing this on soy, for those interested. Sally and her staff are really friendly and great to visit. Pod Wholefoods is the little health food shop attached, run by the lovely Tess, who is fast becoming a Thermomix expert (for those of you looking to figure out how to use those machines!). They've got a great, hand-picked selection of quirky and artisan products - and some of the best tofu I've bought in a long time, along with a few frozen vegan products, lots of dried bulk beans, and just delicious little curiosities. They also have a number of organic dairy products, and other products, such as protein shakes & the like. For gluten-free folk, this shop is a godsend. Tess is great to talk to, and passionate (without being at all in your face), and I appreciate the care taken to select the products. Win, win!
