There has been a number of new openings in Essendon of recent times, and this can only be great news for the area. It's becoming quite the foodie hub, with so many high quality venues to dine at. Social 1057 is one of these new cafes that is meeting the needs of the locals with it's fantastic menu. This large space has a beautiful interior, with lots of natural woods and light, and white walls lining the length of the cafe. The staff are so lovely, and excited to take you through their great menu.

Enjoying a delicious green smoothie and amazing coffee, I was intrigued to try the smoked eggs. So many cafes concentrate on poached or scrambled eggs, but Social 1057 is bringing back fried eggs, laden with spice and a fresh tomato salsa. I couldn't resist a potato rosti on the side, and this was easily one of the best I've ever had, with it's crispy crust and fluffy centre and perfect seasoning. The eggs were truly amazing, with so much spice and flavour. I couldn't get enough of this dish. The fresh salsa cut through the richness of the eggs, and this was a texturally exciting dish.

As it was a hot day, I also tried the acai bowl. This cafe mainstay was done really well, with a lovely creamy acai base and plenty of fresh fruit and granola. Presentation was fantastic, and I loved the fresh tastes in this delicious bowl.

In a busy part of town, Social 1057 is already gaining traction with locals; who like me, are keen to try the new kid on the block. The fact that the food, coffee and service is really amazing, and the ambience relaxed and friendly; I believe this lovely cafe will settle in comfortably and become the regular haunt for many patrons in the area.
