Protein-rich chilli scramble, Melburnians’ fave smashed avo, indulgent fried chicken waffles. We’ll take one of each, please and thank you!
Here’s a quick guide to the best cafés in which to eat breakfast, brunch, lunch and indulgent desserts, all located around Smiths Park.
Deoro & Co
Deoro & Co’s clear mission is to bring a “city vibe to the suburbs”. Their big breakfasts come bigger-than-your-average, offering up an epic platter with eggs cooked three ways among a mountain of other wake-up treats to serve at least two people.
Lunchtime offers up yet more treats with a variety of juicy burgers, salads, nachos and wraps. Wash it all down with a carrot, kale, cucumber or beet juice – freshly squeezed, naturally. This café backs onto a sizable playground and park too. So grab your order to go and enjoy a side of sunshine and fun with your next fluffy BBQ pork bao bun.
Address: 66A Deoro Parade, Clyde North
Volt Cafe
Every day, Volt serves up classic café food with their signature colourful spin. They get the balance right at this eatery with leafy green brekkies and superfood salads on one end of the spectrum and heavenly white chocolate and shortbread French toast on the other. Happily, they’re licensed too which means you can easily transform breakfast into a long brunch over a crisp cider or a glass of Sauv Blanc.
Address: Shop 10 Selandra Boulevard, Clyde North
Fusion Cafe
You don’t even have to step outside your home to enjoy a café lifestyle in Clyde North. The local Fusion Café offers a dessert delivery service direct to your door. Loaded waffles (including savoury “pizza waffles”), pancakes and brownies are the go-to orders, plus all the usual savoury dishes like burgers, pizzas and snack bites.
For sweet tooths, you can design your own dessert by customising your toppings. But who can resist their signature Mrs Brownie Waffle? It’s a Belgian waffle topped with brownie pieces, fudge sauce and chocolate wafers.
Address: Hamersley Dr, Clyde North VIC 3978
