Travelling Bandit

I like the theme of this cute café and the food is great! This shop features a traveling theme, where you can see a lot of icons of traveling, like clocks of different capital cities and world map. The food is tasty and well prepared. We ordered English breakfast and the burger, and ended up with a Japanese soufflé. Dishes came very quickly and we started to dig it in and forgot to take photo. I called it a “photo forgetting” meal.

My 2nd visit, because of the first. Good chai, and yummy simple toasted cheese & ham sandwich that was just that little bit more delicious 🙂. Staff welcoming, attentive, everyone friendly, and polite. It's clean, well presented, and going by the flow of customers - sit down and takeaway - it is understandably popular. Be back again .. 😌🌻🤌🍂👏💙💛🌈

Travelling bandit This area of North Balwyn, it’s Greythorn really, strikes me as needing a bit of a lift, foodwise at least. Travelling Bandit looked like comfortably the best cafe option on a scan of both sides of this shopping strip (although I later spotted the Jolly Miller which is in a more secluded area off the road). The cafe has street appeal then and its moderately attractive inside too and almost cute. It also has very nice front and back open areas. Most importantly, the coffee is very good here. They serve a perfectly respectable brew that would be easily at home in any of the more fancied areas. The menu is said to be good too, I understand. The cafe was doing an acceptably good trade among all age groups while I was there. The staff dealt with the custom politely and efficiently. There was a hits mix on that was mainly 80s. It was inoffensive and quite pleasant after a while. Nice place overall. A terrific option if you’re in this area. I’d happily return another time.
