Mothers Instinct cafe & Bar

This place has the kindest and most attentive staff! I came on a really busy Sunday but the owner Naas still took the time to come over and chat with me. The coffee and food was amazing (especially the gluten free bread, which can often be hard to find).

3.9 Mothers Instinct is a fantastic cafe on the corner of Glenhuntly and McCombie St in Elsternwick. Large and light-filled, it has a cheery ambience with its kitchen open to the eating areas. While this can mean some of the cooking smells pervade the eating area, that’s often welcome as the food is super. I had the smart way poached eggs and smashed avo on gluten free multi grain (pictured). It was delightful and healthy. Eggs poached to perfection - covered in seedy goodness. Food and coffee came quickly and the service was perfect. The coffee was fantastic - nutty, strong and creamy. The brekky special looked great too - brioche burger with chive scrambled eggs and house relish. Twosheds will return for lunch at some point, as the venue is licensed and the lunch menu looked great. Loved it. 3.9
