The Foodstore Cafe

Such an incredible cafe, with delicious food and coffee and the most sweetest staff!! I love that they had a variety of gluten free options available too! Definitely check it out!

Cute suburban cafe in Hawthorn nicely laid out so you don't feel like you're top of the next table. Greeting us when we walked in is a long counter with yummy looking pre-made wraps and sweet treats. There's a couple of booths for small groups plus some seating outside where you can sit in the shade and enjoy a coffee with your fury friends. We loved the great local vibe inside and you can tell that the owners and chefs have a real love for what they're creating here. They're serving up an all day menu with middle Eastern influences and a touch of F45! (the chef follows the F45 menu). The menu is largely skewed towards brunch dishes and focuses on good quality, fresh ingredients and great coffee. All your favourite brekkies are represented with options including organic açai protein bowl; toasted buckwheat Bircher; smashed avo with chilli pickle and crispy quinoa; Salmon Benny; and the big 'Foodstore Breakfast' with the lot. They have a few options that are gluten and dairy free and they can make almost any dish vegan on request. This isn't mentioned on their current menu so I just wanted to call this out for our vegan friends :) An awesome addition to the Hawthorn cafe seen with great food and coffee, a warm family welcoming from the staff and great coffee. We love that they're currently the only spot around opening at 6am servicing the early bird tradie crowd. We caught a sneak peak at the exciting changes for the menu in the new year - it's getting a complete shake up with loads of vegan friendly dishes and we can't wait to come back to try these!!
