Moving west along Centre Rd from last weeks blog, is another welcome addition to the Bentleigh cafe scene - Little Tommy Tucker.
Similarly to Merchants Guild, TT offers something different to the basic cafe fare that Bentleigh-ites have been used to. A pared back, Scandinavian style fit out also offers something different to pretty much all other cafes in the vicinity. Peak times can be very busy and it can get a little loud inside but since we usually dine with our four legged family member, quieter street side tables are available. I believe they take reservations too - something you don't see all that often anywhere these days!
On the morning of our visit, I chose the pesto scrambled eggs with a side of smoked salmon. Beautifully creamy eggs with just the perfect amount of pesto (this dish can so often go wrong!). Opposite in the picture is the quinoa and smoked trout salad, with feta, peas, fennel and mint. A deliciously filling and healthy salad, finished with a light zesty lemony dressing.
Onto the coffee....... personally, we find the blends at Little Tommy Tucker to be not very strong (but that could be due to our slight coffee addiction!). Nonetheless, great tasting coffee served just the way coffee should be (no burnt coffee or boiled milk here!). And if you are on the go, take away coffees are always served quickly, no matter how busy the cafe is. In fact, the service at Little Tommy Tucker is always prompt and friendly and you can see they all take great pride in serving great food and great coffee.
They don't seem to have a website but you can find them on Facebook or call them on 9576 5174
Open 7 days from 7am.
A blog about all things lifestyle, South of the Yarra river in Melbourne. From Camberwell to Mordialloc, Bentleigh to Brighton and everything in between, this blog is all about the best of everything the southern suburbs of Melbourne have to offer.
South of the Yarra
Have you ever read the lifestyle sections of the newspapers and been frustrated by the fact that they rarely mention the southern suburbs of Melbourne?
If you are wishing that the newspapers would stop banging on about everything in the City and north of, then this blog is for you!
I am a busy 39 year old, who loves Bayside Melbourne and believes that the southern suburbs have just as much to offer.
This blog will cover all your southern needs, from fresh flowers to the best dog friendly parks. From good coffee to the best bread going around. From great bars to where to buy good fresh ingredients and more...
