Located near Mount Waverley village is this bright, homely cafe that is serving classic breakfast and lunch dishes. I found the dishes we ordered tasted fresh and flavoursome, and wasn’t overly salty nor oily which was a massive plus.
The motto here is nourished with love and you can see that the menu features a variety of dishes that cater for dietary requirements such as vegan, gluten free and even Allium free too. Also check out their specials too on the board.

The menu also features a cute menu for doggies too!

A varied brunch menu (many interesting egg dishes) & a great selection of cakes. The orange cake was gluten-free & lush, but could have been sweeter. Very subjective :-)
The rest of us ate main courses, all of which were good. Mine was chicken & mushroom risotto, nicely cooked & presented. Excellent flavor. Caesar Salad is a generous serve, prawn linguine smelled good.
Service is polite, enthusiastic, very friendly... & incompetent. On Sunday afternoon I am very laid back. The wait staff are all late teens- but even allowing for that - oh my. We were delivered other people's dinner or drinks not once or twice, but six times. I think three different waiters did this.
I've been a waiter. We didn't complain (they were genuinely honest mistakes, really nice staff, it was brunch, let's get over ourselves). But six times?
I checked the bill carefully. It was right. We tipped :-) But check that the plate you receive is the one you actually ordered.
Would I go back? Absolutely
Had a terrible experience here after driving out from the city thinking it would be great from the Broadsheet review. Coffee would be better at McDonalds. All the cool GF items listed are no longer available there and the GF burger that I did order (which I confirmed 3 times bc the staff seemed a bit out of their depth) came out looking like brioche bun, so I (very embarrassedly by this point) asked could they please check the kitchen got the note. Trusting my gut even though both staff members told me “100% it is gluten free”. One came back and, barely apologetically said, no. Kitchen said they didn’t get the note….she then offered to put the burger insides into a new bun….I, very anxious at this point said , “No I’m gluten intolerant, I can’t just have it scooped out into a new bun and be ok. I'll just eat the fries.” She said fine, she’ll charge less since I couldn’t eat the burger….. By the time she came out again and said they will remake the order I was so anxious and embarrassed I said no, bc I hate to make a fuss, but also would have been sick as a dog for days if I trusted these girls with my order. This is fine for a simple cafe, but it is not a dietary-conscious cafe and should definitely not be listed as such on Broadsheet.
Great toppings, good prices, and fast service make this spot a favorite for pizza lovers, plus they have some awesome deals!

Yummy pizza. Both the gluten free and the normal base were great. Good amount of toppings, good price and fast service. Has some good deals too. Will be coming back. Lady on the counter was very nice but seemed new.
Yummy gluten free chicken sandwich, fresh & really delicious flavours. The matcha was creamy, tasted like real matcha & wasn't to much. Love it all. Will eat/order from here again. 🙌❤
Nice environment lovely chai. Their pastries looked delicious unfortunately I'm gluten free so couldn't have any but my friend said they're really yummy. Great customer service a must go visit if you're in the area.
Great food n service, travelling from Sydney our 1st night at Shavans was super, happy to see a wide choice of gluten free options, kids loved the kothu, naan n butter chicken. Nalin n his staff made sure we had good service. Recomend the place very highly.
