I haven't had a brekky that nice in ages. This place was recommended to us by the lovely lady working at Bentleigh Health Foods a few doors down. I had the Chia pudding bowl with banana, strawberries, goji, mint, honey - must say its the best chia bowl I've ever eaten. There's another 3 items on the menu I want to try. Myself and family will definitely be back for more. My new 'go to' cafe. Thank you to The Owl and the Baker - 5plus stars �
Highly recommend this cafe for catering, eating in or takeaway. We had some delish catering for Mothers Day! Everything was fresh and healthy at a reasonable price! Thank you for making Mum’s day so special! �
Superb service and friendly staff. The food is full of flavour; decadent and scrumptious. Could not fault the coffee either. Highly recommend this cafe. �
My favourite café who provide me with delicious fresh, healthy lunches and perfect coffee every single day. Their cakes are also i n c r e d i b l e and their staff are so attentive and bring a smile to my tired face in the mornings! Thank you Andrea and the gang :)
Great coffee and equally tasty food. We had the poached eggs on toast with bacon and relish which was very generous in size (2 poached eggs & 2 pieces of toast) and the Veggie wrap which was also very tasty (with a kick of spice) and extremely filling. Will definately be back!
I absolutely love this place and it is now my favourite spot on Centre Road. The coffee is excellent and the food all tasted super fresh and yummy. There is this cheesecake with berries that has been sitting there tempting me every time I walk in but I’m yet to try it! Looking forward to doing so very soon.
the barista girl is awesome!!!!!! I think she can remember all customers' coffee and food. the second time I came in she knew what I wanted!!! the coffee is realllllllllllllly great! best coffee in bentleigh! she's so cute, brighten my day
All I can say is wow! Bentleigh is home to many cafes and places to have brunch and this place hit the spot. It’s more of a bakery with baked goods sold inside so doesn’t have a huge brunch menu. Nonetheless the dishes that we ordered were presented well and had great flavours paired together. Also cute latte art on the coffee !
The juices are very unique in flavours and ingredients! The karate chop juice is my favourite, perfect for recovering from a cold. The vegan sausage roll is very filling and nutritious 💜

I was merrily walking along Centre Road, minding my own business when I was suddenly struck by the most beautiful smell in the world - freshly baked cookies or cakes, or whatever that was made up of the magical combination of butter, flour, sugar and eggs. I made a beeline straight into where I deduced the smell was coming from and jackpot!
The Owl & The Baker, deals in the legal drug known as desserts, and unfortunately not owls too as otherwise this would make for a very interesting experience. There are however cute little owls figurines dotted along the shop, keeping a watchful eye over you while you eat.
Part cafe, part bakery, The Owl & The Baker will appeal to any taste buds. My partner and I shared a beef and onion pie with a side of beetroot salad, and a droolworthy apple spiced cake.
The pie crust was the most gorgeous golden brown, and it flaked beautiful when sliced into. Buttery and soft, it was a perfect crust. The beef and onion filling were very moreish and juicy, but I think a bit more piquancy would increase the flavour tenfold. The refreshing and delicate flavours of the beetroot salad were a match made in heaven with the pie.
The apple spiced cake was a slice of heaven. It was a very moist cake, one that held itself well yet crumbled very slightly when you dig in with a fork. The flavours were the epitome of autumn - spiced, warming and bold. Generous thin slivers of stewed apples added to taste, and texture.
Accompanying this wonderful meal was a great cup of skinny latte. Smooth, balanced and beautiful mouth feel.
Impeccable service all-around, and with such delicious food, I was reluctant to leave without getting more sweets. I just have to keep telling myself that I shall be back.
This local cafe is also a bakery offering unique tarts and many goodies. Great choices for vegetarians. Good vibes and ambience with wonderful people!
Great food by great people. Try the Vegetarian Moussaka, it's delicious. Always a great place to have a tea with some of the amazing desserts they prepare every day. Fantastic place!
Was very surprised to find a Gluten and Vegan cafe in Bentleigh. Staff were super friendly in a nice simple setting. We ordered Vegan filo, salad, moussaka and tart to go. Food was lovely
Cafe has improved significantly since it first opened! Allpress coffee, an amazing barista and very friendly staff. Good selection of food and seating and close to train station :)
Favourite local cafe. All the beautiful, delicious pastries and cakes are made in house. You can see it happening in the back of the cafe!
The staff are extremely friendly and proud of their work. Lovely to have a chat with.
The food is delicious.
The atmosphere is very relaxed and enjoyable.
Good for doing a bit of work, study, reading the paper or a book etc
