Young Bloods Diner

Up and at them bright and early and off for breakfast before the crowds.

Young Bloods is newish and one of a collection of fun cafés just off Fitzroy St.

Because we arrived so early I was suspicious about the lack of people but my fears were unfounded.

The food was great and looked amazing!

Messina

OMG best gelato ever!!

Salted caramel and ice cream are the perfect match!

Liar Liar

We're over in Hawthorn to check out the Design Files Open House so thought we'd check out a Broadsheet recommended cafe in the area. There were more than I'd expected so we probably missed out a bit when we were living over this side of town 

Decent coffee, single origin too! The food serving size was massive, but good menu choices and tasty. 

The Hawthorn crowd is definitely very different from the usual Brunswick types!!

Everleigh

Out for dinner tonight at Easy Tiger. Stopping off first at the Everleigh for a pre-dinner cocktail

Tommy's Margarita with the twist - substitute the argave for Cointreau! Yummo!!

Martha Rays

I sat next to a lady on the flight back from Sydney last weekend and her son owns or runs this cafe, so I said we'd come check it out 

It has all the characteristics of the Brunswick cafe, good interior and lighting, nice coffee (Costa Noosa) and interesting food

I had the scrambled eggs & goats cheese special - very tasty

Lemon Middle and Orange

This place is very tucked away deep in industrial Collingwood. You'd never stumble upon if you were out for a stroll.

Interesting menu choices, nice coffee,  tasty food - although lacking imagination. The fit out looks good too, although maybe a bit too clean given the warehouse/industrial location 

Night Noodle Market

Dinner and a wander through the night market before Public Bar comedy
