Amazing restaurant, one of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast. My partner and I go there at least once a week for Kebabs as well. Wonderful coffee and their chocolate peanut butter squares... I'm so addicted :D

They also have a kind of boutique supermarket that stocks all kinds of dairy, breads, nuts, coffee, organic cereals and paleo breakfast products etc, imported chocolate and ice-cream... trust me just go it's an awesome place!

At first glance this business appears wonderful, my partner and I were very
excited to adopt a dog from here. Unfortunately the shine wore off very
fast for us though. We were told at time of purchase that we were welcome
to return the dog at any time, but we were NOT told at any point during the
transaction that we were obliged to bring the dog back, or that she
remained the property of Pet's Haven. We WERE told that she was a beautiful
dog that deserved to be in a loving home rather than in a cage (which she
most certainly is!), having been transferred into the center that day from
her time in foster care to be left there until a home was found for her. We
were at no time asked any questions to vet us, we were NEVER told we were
obligated to return the dog, or that the dog remained the legal property of
Pet's Haven either verbally or via contract.

Approximately a week and a half after bringing her home, we began to
realize that she was not ideally suited to our home, but we were happy to
keep her in our care until we found her a loving home with the right
people. We decided to advertise her on a well known forum rather than
returning her to a cage, as it was our understanding that since she had
already been through her foster care she would be caged again until
re-sold. This was when things began to get sour.

We care for this dog. We decided NOT to take her back to the rescue center
because of this. My partner and I made a decision to keep her with us where
we could provide her with space, love, attention, obedience training,
socialization, good quality food, and where we could meet and have her meet
her potential new owners on her own turf.

Within hours of our advertisement being posted we began to receive messages
via sms and email. The ad was flagged, we had to re-post it. Within days
the messages started getting more frequent and more threatening. We began
to get demands to return "their property". My partner was emailed with
demands naming his place of work. I was told if I didn't return "their dog"
I would be reported to the police for theft. I was abused so loudly over
the phone my customers at work heard the Pet's Haven employee on my mobile
in the next room. It never seems to end.

All of this because we tried to do the right thing and keep the dog OUT of
a cage! We care about this animal. We PAID for this animal. We have
receipts and bank statements and contracts showing proof of ownership of
this dog, and yet we are constantly being harassed, abused, yelled at,
emailed, texted, threatened with social media flooding, and told we'll be
reported and charged with theft purely because we wanted to give this dog
the home she needs and deserves. It's heart breaking, and it makes me never
want to rescue another dog again... probably not an issue since they have
told me my partner and I will be blacklisted from all Victorian rescue
agencies.
