Arriving early for a function in Ripponlea meant that we had time to check out one of the local cafes…so we followed the locals, and ended up at Hawk & Hunter! Hawk and Hunter is located off the main drag, tucked away in Glen Eira Avenue, just opposite the railway station. Despite being quite busy, […]

We used to love coming to this cosy cafe, located just off the main street in Queenscliff, and we were sad when it closed down. The building sat empty for ages, so it was great to hear that it was open again! We decided to pop in one afternoon, and have a cup of tea. […]

After not doing much over the last few weeks because of the heat…and because we both weren’t feeling the best…we decided we needed some “tea time” and headed to one of our favourite tea destinations…Storm in a Teacup in Collingwood.

For our brunch experience this week, we went to Hardware Lane, in Melbourne, to see what we could find! Hardware Lane is like Lygon Street….the waiters work hard to invite you in to their restaurants…and there are quite a few places to choose from. We ended up being enticed into the Pop Restaurant…it helped that […]

On our recent wander through the streets of Fitzroy, we decided to try brunch at one of the local cafes…and ended up at Young Bloods Diner….it did help that we scored a car park almost right out front! It was a warm day, so we chose a table downstairs, in front of the large open […]

Another trip into the city allowed for another brunch experience! This time, we wandered down the very popular Degraves St to see what we could find! We chose to try Lacitta as they still had breakfast available (till 11am)…and there were some tables available inside! We actually preferred to sit inside…it was a cozy oasis […]
