Avocado on toast

Giving a little inner-city chic to Melbourne's northern suburbs is St Rose brunch café and espresso bar in Essendon. Step across a charming foot mat and open the country style front door to a warm interior, coaxing guests in with tempting displays of freshly baked goods, richly scented coffee and a friendly ambience as locals mingle in pairs and small groups. A focus on simplicity in a wide variety of sumptuous dishes ensures the menu stays seasonal, crafted from locally grown produce. Take time out with a 5 Senses coffee, or detox with an alkaline juice and decide between dishes of Jaffa French toast with soaked brioche, candied popcorn, orange, popping candy and Nutella mousse, or a pulled pork burger with mint and cabbage slaw with pickled apple, snow pea tendrils and date chutney.
