Brew makes a very good hot chocolate. They also have excellent focaccias and hot dishes, probably the best cafe on Poath Road.

Approximate cost: $15

This is probably one of the better places to eat if you're on campus, but otherwise a bit pricey. Decent coffee spot.

Nice little breakfast/brunch spot. Tasty eggs and bacon dishes, and the best coffee in Oakleigh.

Approximate cost: $20

Ordered through Delivery Hero - they cam pretty quick. The food was tasty and hot when it arrived. Good way to get your pho fix at home.

I come here often for tea and cakes. Good place to sit down and catch up - they have such a huge range. For mother's day I did a high tea at home and swung by here early in the morning to pick up the sweets. Very nice!

Quick and cheap bubble cup place. I prefer the flavour of Gong Cha's teas, but Happy Cup is alright too. The occasional Groupons are good to get - stock up and save a few dollars!

Approximate cost: $4

Gold Leaf is always busy - make sure you book or table (or try getting there when they open). The food is pretty good, and they have a decent variety of all the classic yum cha dishes.

Approximate cost: $25

Airstream is a good option for pre-movie food, but can be a bit pricey. The quality seems to vary quite a bit depending on what you order, or maybe just the night. I've had a perfectly-cooked kangaroo steak, and a under-cooked lasagna that could have passed for a rock. The cakes are always good though, so I definitely recommend it for tea and cakes.

Hainanese Chicken Rice and also Garlic Prawns! Kotoraya have a fairly large menu, so it's a good place for family dinners. You'll find something for everyone. The restaurant is a bit dark and cruddy looking, but the quality of the food is consistently high.

Approximate cost: $30

We get delivery from Cafe La Proto quite a bit as they are cheaper than Dominoes if you want home delivery. The pizzas are usually pretty tasty, though I have had burnt crusts a couple of times which is off-putting. The pastas are a tad bland and greasy, but still okay.
