From the outside, this cafe doesn't look like much, but what it lacks in sophistication, it makes up for with the quality of food. I have been here for both breakfast and lunch, and each time, the meals were wonderfully understated and beautifully presented.

I have also dined here with children and the wait staff were very attentive, bringing out a special children's menu and allowing them to order themselves instead of by proxy via an adult.

Prices are not the cheapest around but the portion sizes are huge and you won't walk away hungry. You'll more than likely have to roll yourself away from the table if you manage to finish all the delicious food which is on your plate!

Approximate cost: $17

This cafe do very good breakfast. Not the cheapest however the choice on the menu is good and the servings quite substantial so you do get what you pay for. Weekends tend to be busy for breakfast but when we went during the week it was quieter. They also do a great variety of freshly prepared juices and great coffee. I would definitely recommend trying this cafe for breakfast and if you can, go during the week when it would be less busy.

Approximate cost: $15

If you are looking for a place for Sunday breakfast the the Rare Pear is something worth having alook at. I have been here a few times for breakfast and it is a very nice meal. It can get very busy though so either be prepared to wait or go slightly on ths shoulder of peak times,

Approximate cost: $20

This is one of the places that I love to go to when in Holland Park. The food and coffee are always good and service is always with a smile.

Awesome.... Love the skinnychino's and the home made muffins are excellent. Lovely, homely feeling and the food is great value for money. Even if you only want something light, it's still filling enough and nothing is way over priced. A great meeting place to catch up with friends & love the alfresco seating.

Approximate cost: $10-$15

I love this place. They do the best weekend breakfast (you can't go past the vego big brekky!) and they have fabulous cakes. Everything tastes fresh and is not your stock standard cafe fare!

A fabulous little cafe/coffee shop open for brekky and lunch every day except Sunday run by two retired Home ec teachers. The food is yummy and the coffee is very good. The best thing is the delectable selection of yummy cakes, tarts, slices, and cupcakes.

Approximate cost: $14
