Fledgling Espresso

Consistently good food, consistently good service and consistently good coffee. Take away or eating in, Fledgling is hard to pass on a shopping strip that has many options. Their menu changes with the seasons and I always find something worthwhile. They are especially accommodating to people with kids or pets (and some people bring both).

We visited @fledglingespresso for brunch as it was long overdue, but the wait was worth it. . We completely enjoyed amazing dishes of our brunch and the perfect sunny afternoon of our lovely Mebourne starting off with some coffee (of course) . You can view their photo menu on phone through @mr_yum_ We wanted to order everything but finally settled on - *BIG FLEDGE - it had the assortment of the best - bacon, mushrooms, chorizo,baked beans, avocado, tomato, spinach, eggs & sourdough * RUBEN SANDWICH - needs no introduction with amazing cheese & ham filling with chips * BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST - this is one dish which is not only pretty looking but super super delish. Even though we were full, but we still managed to finished it because it was sooo good.

Had a beautiful lunch at Fledgling, starting with some really nice coffee. I then shared the smashed pumpkin and mushroom toasts with my friend. The first was a great combo of savoury and sweet with generous slices of haloumi and a complementary beetroot hummus. The second was an umami bomb brimming with the salty, briny flavours that I love. For dessert, we also shared the banana bread french toast. I'm not usually super into sweet brunch dishes but this one wasn't overly rich. It featured two hearty slices of banana bread and some cream cheese and fresh fruit. The fairy floss wasn't necessary as the dish is sweet enough but it does add to the look of the plate. Overall, great experience at this cute little cafe.

This is one of the popular cafes in Melbourne and when you try out their menu you can see why! This cute cafe is located in a Victorian styled venue, with welcoming seating indoors or a bright courtyard out the back! We enjoyed a few cocktails to start, and there are a variety that would work for anyone! If your game have the Bloody Mary, that pickle thoughhhhhh! We had of course the banana bread French toast, now you can’t go past this! I’d even recommend it as a third dish to share. It’s worth it! The Smashed Pumpkin was a good choice and the eggs benny is a classic goody! The surprise dish was the fritters! So full of flavour! Make sure to add it to your list!
