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

A delightful, vibrant space in Elsternwick. We stumbled upon this gem for a late lunch and were delighted to see that their menu encompassed a great variety of breakfast, brunch and lunch options, right up until 3pm. It was also licensed. Our food was delicious, the waitress who served us was lovely and everybody in the restaurant was smiling broadly - chefs, wait staff and customers (many of whom seemed local and happened to know each other and frequented this eatery). The coffee, also, was divine. Highly recommend this gorgeous day time eatery….. Thank you.
