Split Bean Cafe

Best Known For

Parma Focaccia: chicken schnitzel, sliced ham, tomato sauce and cheese, in a Turkish roll.

Well-loved local hangout Split Bean Café on Mernda Village Drive is the place to head for an aromatic brew and café fare with flair when in Mernda. This Melbourne eatery is abuzz from breakfast to lunch as friends gather in bright and breezy surroundings, where a full glass frontage makes for an abundance of natural light and cabinets overflow with sweet treats. Stop in for brunch and devour shakshuka baked eggs with tomato, eggplant, chorizo, Persian feta, heirloom tomatoes, green chilli sauce and spiced flatbread; or eggs Benny, with slow-cooked shredded pork, apple, pecan nuts, crackling and Hollandaise. Burger lovers can chow down on chicken schnitzel, bacon, burger sauce, lettuce, tomato and cheese in a brioche bun; finish indulgently with a chocolate brownie, or hedgehog slice.
