Pound Cafe

Quick and attentive service, all-day breakfast, family friendly - there are plenty of reasons to take a perch at this side-street cafe and escape the hubbub of Glen Huntly Road. Different levels create space, although the wooden interiors can raise the noise level, especially on weekends. Plenty of magazines will help you linger over a bagel breakfast - the avocado smash is popular - or the legendary tuna salad. St Ali's Chompy blend has plenty of nutty flavour, but a poor extraction might give a thin pour with a slightly too-bitter taste; milk coffees produce a more balanced result.
