Seven Seeds

Recommended by my friend, but when we went there, the place was very full! Then the next week, I tried to go there with my sister, and apparently the place is always full. But we got sit even we're sharing with others, we dont mind. The menu just only got limited breakfast dishes, less than 10 if I could remember. And the craziest thing is, Ive tried all of them. So it is like very simple cafe, provides one of the best coffee in Melbourne. I really like to go there, and having been there for Friday brunch since 2-3 months ago. Really near to Melbourne Uni =)

Place (8/10)
Quite big, bike friendly, and always full. But a lil bit hard to find.

Services (8/10)

Food (6.5/10)

• Goats cheese sandwich (3/10) 

 Sorry, but this one is the worst. The sandwich was really dry, the cheese are not tasty enough. Really not recommended.

•  Omelette sandwich (6.5)

Its okay, just an average omelette sandwich, nothing special on it.

•  Baked beans toast (6.5)

Again, an average one. Nothing special.

•  Andrews ham and cheese sandwich (7.5/10)

This one is good. I like it, but not much, but better than others.

•  French toast brioche with mascarpones, crumbs, raisins, and orange syrup (9.5/10)

  















This is really best of the best! I should say I dont know what happen to other dishes but this one is way much much much better than others! Highly recommended.


Drinks (9.5/10)
Coffee is really awesome. Smooth and mild. Mocha is just good.

Overall (7/10)
I would definitely back, well always there on Friday having brunch (you will see me there around 12, lol). But yeah, as I said, nothing better than just having a coffee and french toast brioche. Dont try any other else than those two.

Sally's Kitchen

Just about next to my apartment.. I have been seeing this cafe since 2 years ago, but havent got any chance to try it. It looks really cozy from outside, and in fact yes it is really cozy! This is definitely the place where all corporates go every morning during weekdays, having coffees while reading newspaper. The price is not that cheap, but well the coffee is really nice. I think the owner manages this cafe herself, she always there and asks for our feedbacks.

Fast, baby friendly, even she gave us unlimited babycinno.

Food

• Organic free range egg, cheese, and bacon sandwich (8.5/10)

Not a big fan of sandwich, but I have to say this is one of the best sandwich I have ever had. Generous fillings, perfectly cooked egg, and surprisingly awesome bread.

Loves this place!

Roule Galette

Found from urbanspoon (see link below), decided to try with my friends since were craving for something sweet. Well, I have to say that the place is not as obvious as the others along degreaves street. But its always full day and night. All staff are French, maybe thats the reason why the creperie is soo original =)

Too small, yet its a cute tiny place.

Services (6/10)
Wait so long for one crepe, not friendly, couldnt understand English well.

Food

• Gourmande (8/10)

 So this is the most expensive one. French crepes with almond, ice cream, banana, and chocolate. Its the yummiest so far.

gourmande

• Aumoniere (6.5/10)

Not as good as the presentation, the fillings are just three scoops of vanilla ice creams and whipped cream, with chocolate sauce below the crepes.

aumoniere

•  Salmon cheese (6.5/10)

Savoury crepes with smoked salmon and cream cheese. Its a nice one for brekkie.


Drinks (6/10)
The coffee is just average. If I could remember, it was from Segafredo beans. Someone suggested me to try its ice chocolate. Maybe next time.

The Hardware Societe

Moving to Melbourne, with a dream of trying all the best food in here, I started to take photos of the good food I eat. Just about a month ago, I posted them all on facebook, and surprisingly, some people quite enjoy this silly thing! As requested, I tried to put them all to this food blog. With no experiences of designing or writing, I hope you guys could drool over all food on my blog =)

I will start with my current favourite:

Place (8/10)
Well, the place was really cozy, I like it, except its too small since they are always full of customers

Food

• Fried brioche with chocolate fillings, orange blood sauce, with a lil bit of cream (10/10)

 The shell is very crispy, yet sweet. I love the creamy sauce, and especially the choc fillings. The best one! 
 

Fried brioche

   

• Poached egg with salmon topped with hollandaise sauce, and rosti (6/10)

 The rosti is quite good, poached egg, salmon, and the sauce are average. Maybe its because I am not a fan of raw salmon.

poached egg

• Mushroom truffle (7.5/10)

 Mushroom with cheese, onions, and any other things, quite yummy (saturday menu).

• Baked eggs with spicy chorizo (8/10)

Surprisingly  yummy! loves the spicy sausages (saturday menu).

•  Fried brioche with hazelnut, banana, and maple (10/10)

The saturday menu of fried brioche. It tastes the same but replacing the orange with banana.

Coffee (9/10)

Great! Smooth, mild, and creamy.  

Overall (8/10)

Will definitely go back for another brunch. And oh, they are selling macarons too! They have the same flavour as Lindt's one, which is salted caramel. Will be trying those soon. Just keep an eye of this page!
