Hidden Gem
During a recent holiday in Melbourne, we had the opportunity for me to indulge myself in a trip down memory lane. This saw us visiting Greythorn, in the outer suburbs, and we decided that we would grab breakfast before exploring my old stomping ground.

We had parked outside a nice-looking café and decided this looked like the place for a coffee and something to eat. It is called Travelling Bandit and we are so glad we picked this café as it turned out to be one of the highlights of our tour around greater Melbourne.

The ambience was cosy and inviting. It offered a variety of seating options. You could choose the sidewalk dining area and watch the world go by. Sit inside, grab the newspaper, and immerse yourself in a more traditional café environment or head to the courtyard at the rear of the premises. We chose the courtyard.

The wait staff quickly attended to our needs, and we were soon enjoying a coffee and our breakfast. The menu offered a great variety of your favourites and some more exotic meals to choose from. They also cater for vegans and vegetarians.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the café. The staff were attentive and engaging. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The coffee was also excellent. It was a great way to start our day.

I would highly recommend a visit to this café, it’s a hidden gem. We will make sure we stop in again next time travel to Melbourne.
