Chew Chew, near the choo choo

This cafe has a nice woody interior and is across the road from Moonee Ponds train station.
I had a cafe latte to start. The coffee met standards but wasn't really outstanding. Ordered the tagliatelle with a lamb ragu which. Portion was generous.  I loved the taste of the ragu as the lamb and tomatoes married well. Could use  little bit more seasoning but I'm not complaining.
This neat little café is worth a try. I'd go back to try their breakfast items.

Breakfast Thieves is a steal

Today is just another random day where I find a new cafe to have brunch. With the train schedule all messed up, I decided to take the tram towards the city.
Breakfast Thieves?  It's the catchy name and the rave reviews that caught my eye. As I was alone, I was immediately seated, one of the advantages of going solo on a busy weekend.
The cafe latte was the perfect pick me up. They use MOFO deluxe coffee beans.
Finally,  the tea smoked salmon with tabbouleh,  beetroot and sweet potato.  Lovingly smoked,  the smokiness of the tea hits you but once you start eating,  it's just soft, moist and savoury. The sweetness from the beetroot and crispy sweet potato balances the dish like tea to milk.
Enough said, let me see what my next steal would be...
