Lovely cafe attached to the nursery. Enjoyed the quinoa & brown rice salad which was healthy & delicious. Great coffee. Beautiful smashed avo. Enjoyed a shop next door after brunch!

Attached to a beautiful nursery and homewares store, Town and Country is a family run cafe that delivers irresistible flavoursome food to happy patrons all day long. This gorgeous space is beautifully decorated, has an abundance of natural light and of course, plenty of plants courtesy of the nursery next door. The front courtyard is also an appealing place to sit, and both inside and out were full when I dined here recently.
Our coffees and fresh juices arrived quickly, and were a great start to what was going to be a fabulous brunch. Service at Town and Country is speedy, efficient and extremely friendly; with lovely staff helping to make you feel welcome.
The Eggs Benny were served with delicious croquettes that were beautifully seasoned and had loads of flavour. The crunchy exterior was a great base for the poached eggs; and the Hollondaise was exceptional. Everything was well balanced, and this cafe favourite was a standout dish.
Also standing out was the amazing French toast. A gorgeous poached pear added so much to this dish, as did the fairy floss, berries, cream and syrup. The texture of the toast was fabulous, and it wasn't too sweet a dish, making it great for breakfast. Definitely the kind of dish that I would happily order again.
A visit to Town and Country is a real treat. Fantastic food, an elegant but relaxed ambience, and fabulous staff make it really worthwhile; and I'm quite sure that there are a loads of regulars that consider this beautiful cafe their second home.
We visited this gorgeous cafe in Balwyn, that is quaint and humble serving family and friends for the past 6 years with fantastic breakfast and lunch dishes!
It has a gorgeous exterior, and the interior has plenty of seating. We enjoyed the French Toast, with a poached pear it was definitely a favourite! We then got the Pork Croquettes, these were amazing! With eggs Benedict on top, the flavours were delicious! Finally the Breakfast Brioche, it was a really good option!
Recommend coming here soon! Lovely staff and just a really passionate and friendly business!
We were invited to Town and Country today which was a lovely little cafe nestled in a nursery. I couldn’t believe how busy it was particularly given it is quite a sizeable space. I enjoyed a chai latte as we awaited our order.
I went for my typical smashed avocado which was very enjoyable and my dining companion had the beef burger which looked very appetising. This doesn’t come with chips so make sure you order them separately if you are feeling hungry.
Our third dish today was the yummy French toast with a perfectly poached pear. The vanilla mascarpone went brilliantly here, really nicely balanced. This was a beautifully presented dish and equally delicious. Great little spot
Just had coffee and cake. Scones, jam and cream were wonderful. Although food and coffee were nice the place could do with a good clean. Staff behind the food counter could have been nicer they seemed more interested in serving people placing a take away. Could do with a sign advising it is table service.
Terrific place for a catch up with friends - staff are so friendly and the food always so fresh. Usually a wonderful offer of the Soup Of The Day during winter months.
We found this place based on a recommendation. The food was tasty and we were not disappointed. The chicken burger, and the mixed mushrooms dishes were fantastic. Will come here again. The only improvement needed was friendlier service perhaps as not all staff members were pleasant. It does not apply to all staff of course.
It felt kind of apt to kick-off the Australia Day long weekend with a leisurely brunch at Town & Country in Balwyn. Sitting in the open front courtyard with the morning light filtering through the canopy overhead, I could have certainly been anywhere else in the world instead of having breakfast alongside a busy metropolitan road.
Such a cute cafe with a nursery and a homewares shop. I'm always doubtful of the food in these establishments but I enjoyed my ox cheek dish there. The menu is a refreshing change to the usual brunch culture in Melbourne. The potato and bacon soup was creamy and tasty as well. I heard good things about the mushroom gnocchi but didn't get to try it this time. It was nice to be able to wander around browsing lovely plant pots after the meal too!
We visit Town and Country at least once a week. We are always warmly welcomed. We really enjoy the friendly service, the consistently good coffee and the food always satisfies. We also love the whole experience of the beautiful homewares store, which never fails to present the perfect gift, and the garden nursery filled with inspiration.
Whether it is food or the environment is my favorite，and coffee is also great. The waiters were very warm and gave me great advice. I think I will go here again.
My favorite cafe in Balwyn.
Fast friendly service and excellent coffee.
Lovely decor (table outside is perfect if the weather is good!) and once you are done with your coffee/meal - A stroll through the adjoining nursery/shop is great fun!
Used to live in this area for 3 years before I moved to Perth. Very friendly staff, nice coffee and wonderful food as usual. Will come back every time when I visit Melbourne.
Have always a good experience with both the service and the food here and have visited several times. The vegetarian options are always interesting and beautifully presented.
We ordered the smash avo and mushroom w polenta, both were pretty satisfying. Service tends to be slow during busy hours but how convenient it is to do some shopping next door! Plenty of carpark by the corner and love its dog and pram friendly as well
Lovely nursery with wide range of plants and flowers. Cafe with courtyard facing Whitehorse Rd serving all day breakfast. Great coffee / tea and a ranger of cakes are also on offer.
A lovely cafe with the calming surroundings of a plant nursery. Ordered the smashed avocado on toast with an added side of scrambled eggs. It was served in a generous portion with a sprinkle of microherbs, with just the right amount of deliciously creamy feta. Thumbs up for flavourful eggs which needed nary a sprinkle of salt to bring the meal together.
The house-baked goods are worth trying - my raspberry and white chocolate muffin had a nice contrast of tart and sweet.
Cute little cafe ... Good coffee and the dark choc tea is delicious! 😋 foods are decent but I feel overpriced... That's ok coz the patrons here seem to be wealthy ... Lovely service 🙂
The burgers here are very very good. Have to say that the quality of the food is excellent. In a nice little cafe with nice ambience, service was good too. Nice variety of food and drinks. The beef burger is juicy and flavoursome. Definitely come back here.
Perhaps you know someone with a green thumb? Or even someone with a black thumb for gardening and could do with a little help? Well, Town & Country in Balwyn could be just the place to take them. As well as the well-stocked garden centre, they have a gorgeous homewares and gift shop. After your botanic shopping spree, you can relax in their café with a cup of tea.
I live around the corner of this place so I come here a lot. Their food are amazing, yummy cakes selection always available. Service always prompt. The coffee though a bit unpredictable. The place is really nice, lots of plants and flowers, very relax and refreshing. They have nursery full of beautiful flowers and also homewares shop. It's a nice place to sit and enjoy beautiful day.
Found this little gem on the walking track and stopped to reward myself with a coffee. The staff here were lovely. Every single staff member asked at some point how my day was going and if there was anything I need don't hesitate to ask. This combined with my delicious coffee had made for a great first impression!
Nice little local cafe. Coffee was good and so was the fare (porridge). Service was very friendly. I liked it and I'm keen to return.
Review confirmed. Coffee was excellent. Nice breakfast too.
Old Trusty. I go to Town and Country once a week after walking the Anniversary Trail with my son and a girlfriend. We always receive polite and friendly service. My son is very "particular" and likes a child's sized milkshake but insists that he drinks it in the old fashioned large metal cup that is for standard adult sized milkshakes. I worried that the waiter would think I was being annoying and quite possibly "just another precious mother" (!!) but he was happy to accommodate this request when I ordered it yesterday. Service with a smile. It is this kind of approach that makes me return. Furthermore, my husband and I randomly visit here for brunch and are always served with "hot" and pleasing dishes - no complaints. Cheers :)
Great place and yummy food. The cakes are excellent.
Yummy new menu. Smashed avocado with pomegranates, hazelnuts and feta is my fav. Can't go past a classic chicken sandwich as well! Nice relaxing spot sitting outside on a sunny afternoon and it's dog friendly which I love!
A cute little cafe, yummy food and great service. Lovely staff who are always friendly. One of my faves!
Well done Town & Country!!. Just had a delightful brunch today at Town & Country! The weather is awful, it hasn't stopped raining. So unfortunately we were unable to sit outside in their leafy courtyard, opting for the cosiness within the cafe. It was extremely busy,but we were warmly welcomed and shared a communal table. Coffee was just right, and my wagu burger delicious and juicy. My friends both had eggs which they seemed pretty happy with. Perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday.
Thank you very much for a wonderful experience today. The food was spectacular. The environment was spectacular. The service was spectacular. おいしい!^^
Nice spot for lunch. Discovered this little spot while visiting the area today. Lovely set up with beautiful courtyard for al fresco dinning. Dog friendly. Meal was very nice and freshly made - pumpkin and goats cheese tart. Well priced for servings and table service etc. Only suggestions for improvements would be timing, food took over half an hour to arrive for a small tart and salad. Also dinning was a little uncomfortable outside in this cold weather with no outdoor heaters used. Other than that a lovely spot for lunch.
So happy to have discovered Town and Country again! Living locally its terrific to find my local re opened with a whole new look. Apart from now being modern and spacious inside the cafe, the courtyard is inviting with its flowering pots, and excellent people watching potential. So far the coffee is hitting the spot, and I'm enjoying bringing different friends to rediscover My Balwyn. The steak sandwich and my friends full b'fast both kept us happy and wanting to return!
Delicious lemon curd tart, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere!
Awakening the giant. How exciting to see this cafe brought to life! The place was buzzing with lots of atmosphere. Yes there were a lot of staff but they were all pleasant, friendly and attentive. We were told there were a couple in training and am sure they will find their feet and feel more relaxed as they go along. The menu had something for everyone. The food we received (there were 5 of us) was fresh, tasty, well presented and timely. We loved the decor and were seated along the bench with the cushions (love a cushion on my back!). I'm pretty fussy with my coffee and this passed the test! The sweets looked inviting and didnt disappoint. I look forward to returning soon with other discerning friends - I'll let you know what they think.
A fresh new addition to Balwyn. What a massive change for T&C.
A well needed makeover for this treasure in balwyn.
The coffee is excellent and the new look menu has soooo many things I want to try!
Sure they have only been open this week but I think they are doing pretty well considering it's a new venture for everyone involved.
The staff are lovely and are doing their best considering the chaos that the school mums bring in every morning and have been desperately waiting for the re-open of this place!
I think this place will get a lot better once the creases are all ironed out.
I think we just need to have a little patience.
Well done! I'll be back!
Coffee weak but otherwise great outdoor cafe to enjoy a catch up and light lunch.
Town country gardens cafe. Their weekend breakfast special was so great , it's consisted of 2 eggs, oven roasted tomatoes, crispy bacon, mushrooms and so fresh stir-fry spinach on Rye toast. and also their awnsome lunch special" LAMB Burger" with toasted turkish bread, sweet beetroot, and their secret recipe sauce with country style salad. u really should to try them. it won't be let u down. i 100% will come back.
Town Country Gardens Cafe ! what a lovely place to enjoy your day!!. One of my favourite's local cafe. Great place for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, it's a awnsome place u must try on whitehorse Rd. BTW u can bring your puppy together with u to enjoy your day. it's a totally pet welcome cafe. they also have a nursery just right beside. not only for great food, but also u can shopping around their incrediable nursery. that's so generous. Beautiful food, top service, and it's also BYO. i Would definately come back.
I enjoy my visits here, the plants are so well cared for (who polishes all those leaves) and all the garden staff are extremely helpful. I just want to draw the flowers, as soon as I walk into the outdoor displays I'm hit by all the colour. The tram passes the door from Boxhill to the City, or another comes up from Camberwell Station. Lots of gifts and decor items including books and-d-d there's coffee and cakes to be had nextdoor.
