All Things Equal Cafe

Had a great dirty chai, there’s an extensive hot drinks list. 3 cheese toastie on gluten free bread was great. Friendly service with a smile. Will be back!

Café (and social enterprise) with excellent coffee and a great focused menu of elevated brunch standards with some Jewish influences. Dishes include smashed avo, shakshuka, challah french toast, roasted mushrooms, granola with coconut yoghurt, barramundi fishcakes, smoked salmon bagel, latke benedict, spanakopita, tuna melt, plus the usual toast and eggs. The menu is especially good catering for vegetarians: of 14 dishes on the menu (not including sides), 11 were available vegetarian, and 4 vegan. In fact the full menu is actually pescatarian, but if, like me, you happily eat everything, you won't feel like you are being restricted in any way because there are so many great looking options. I didn't even realise until after I'd ordered. 10 gluten free options too. So this is most definitely an everybody-friendly menu. Coffee is from Mornington Peninsula specialty roasters Prodigal and mine (black) were perfectly made (with exceptional acidity/fruit notes for coffee nerds like me that get excited by that kind of thing). 5+⭐ Smashed avocado, on rye bread with pickled kohlrabi. $17.50. Great dish. Really good proper rye bread and I loved the pickle. Winner. 5⭐ Side salad. $9. Baby cos and herbs. I loved all the dill and parsley. The olive oil dressing, which comes on the side, just tasted oily and wasn't to my taste, but the salad was fresh enough to not need. 4.5⭐ Tables inside and outside along Westbury Street, acoustics noisy inside (at least on weekend).
