Goldilocks cafe - Hawthorn East
Those of you that follow Instagram will appreciate how addictive it can be. Thus, the blog has again suffered with me trying to channel my inner creative side! You know, and all those words you need to write when a picture can tell a pretty good story. What the picture can't describe though is how good the coffee is, how delicious that meal was and whether the service was good or not. So would you like to know what the pictures cannot tell about this new addition to the cafe scene in Hawthorn East?
The cafe is a bit hard to find, and really, if I hadn't been told about it, Goldilocks could still be just a fairytale about a girl and three bears. But that's what we love about Melbourne isn't it? Those hard to find places and hidden gems.
Goldilocks is in Stanley place, an alley way running off Camberwell rd alongside Dan Murphy's in Hawthorn East. It forms part of the Firechief restaurant which fronts the main road but each place has a distinct menu. So it's woodfired pizza and main fare at the front in Firechief, and breakfast/lunch at Goldilocks cafe right the way to the back (entry via side alley advised). The interior is urban industrial, with wooden tables and an open, breezy communal feel. The coffee is standout, full and rich in flavour. Their takeaway cups are on the smaller size, just the way I like it (not too much milk!) but I thought a little pricey at $4.
There is a nice selection of sandwiches of which I ordered the chicken with mayonnaise, lettuce and dill cucumbers. The bread has a crisp crust and soft doughy centre. The sandwich also came with rocket lightly tossed in olive oil. There is a nice selection of Italian sodas as well as your standard list of drinks. I noticed there was a daily specials board too with a couple of soups on offer.
Contrary to some other reviews I have read about Goldilocks, I found the service to be good. I don't really know why people bother posting a bad review. Rest assured, if you make it to my blog, it must be good!
