A very cute cafe just off Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn. I have tried the Eggs Benedict and Smashed Avocado here. I loved the maple glazed bacon with the Smashed Avo and the Eggs Benedict came with a really delicious onion jam. The meals at Liar Liar are decent sized and the service is really friendly and attentive. My only issue was the sourdough bread was a bit tough and hard to cut. Besides that Liar Liar is definitely a solid local brunch spot.
Highly recommend the big breakfast
I live locally and this is, hands down, one of my favourite cafes on Glenferrie Road. The owner and staff and delightful and the food it outstanding. I tried the Liar Liar Hash on my first visit and promptly took everyone I knew to try it after that. It's so tasty!! Potato instead of bread made it such a hearty meal during winter and the hollandaise was tasty, but not too rich.
The french toast is also delicious - not too packed with toppings and they use a lovely maple syrup and mascarpone. My ideal combo is to order one hash and one french toast to share between two.
My partner just moved in to the apartment building upstairs, so I feel like I am going to be visiting a whole lot more - woohoo!
Only con: parking is very tricky. You'd be best to park near the Woolworths or Kino cinema and walking up.
A wonderful cafe - a must visit if you're in the area!
Went here today with my friend. It’s my first time being here. Thought there may be some vegan options available. Ended up the one and only vegan option is the big veggie breakfast with eggs and mushrooms being swapped by asparagus. Meal was alright. Service was good as they did not charge me extra lol.
Hopefully there will be more vegan options.
A good brunch place, friendly service. However, a bit too crowd, and table bar was too narrow. Easy to find, parking around, and walk there would be easier. The crispy chicken burger was almost great, I don't understand the bunch of sliced carrots inside there, which made the thick chicken breast harder to chew up, and confused me with the "crispy chicken taste", the skin or the carrots?
Excellent local cafe. Truth. You might not see it driving down Glenferrie Road but the most popular cafe in Hawthorn is probably Liar Liar cafe. Maybe true. You won't enjoy Liar Liar. Lies.
It starts off with excellent coffee, followed by excellent brunch options with fun names such as 'Pants on Fire' (baked eggs) and the 'Liar Liar Hash'. The baked eggs was probably my favourite dish - so saucy.
Juices are also good if you don't feel like coffee (i don't know who these people are but apparently they exist) . Excellent vibe inside, friendly staff, quick service - you can see why Liar Liar is so popular. Truth.

This is one of the very few brunch spots that I would love to keep visiting and having the same dishes.
• Salmon fillet $22: The salmon is just as delicious as the last time I tried it. I was totally amazed by the harmonious taste of the juicy salmon fillet, salty prosuitto (ham), creamy pumpkin purée, crunchy asparagus and a squeeze of lemon juice. This time, I ordered two Salmon fillets in a row ‘cause I can’t have enough of it.
• Egg Benedict: I especially love the sour chilly onion jam, which is a unique addition to the traditional egg benedict.
• Mörk hot chocolate As the name suggests, the main ingredient is from the sleek and cozy Mörk Chocolate Brew House in North Melbourne. And the taste was absolutely delicious.
Liar Liar is located on Kinkora Road, just off Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn. It’s not a huge cafe but it was jam packed when we visited.
We started with coffees, made with pride & love with beautiful coffee art, sensational coffee.
The menu is impressive & we’ll definitely be going back to try some more dishes.
The Liar Liar Hash - sautéed potatoes w bacon, onion, spinach, poached egg, hollandaise & sourdough toast was an absolute winner! We loved the flavours & the sautéed potatoes, such a well balanced & hearty dish & something I haven’t seen on brunch menus in a long time. It’s safe to say that bowl was clean by the time we’d finished.
The Pants on Fire (I do love a good play on words) was one of the best baked egg dishes I’ve had. A rich tomato sauce filled with spicy chorizo, peppers & perfectly baked eggs served with warm Turkish bread. Full of flavour & delicious & the Turkish bread was perfect for dipping. The servings of both our dishes were generous & we left with warm & very happy bellies.
We also tried the fresh juices, the Hippy Juice - ginger, celery, carrot & orange and the Golden Pash - strawberry, pineapple, apple & orange, both refreshing & loved the flavour combinations.
The service at Liar Liar was fast & friendly, most customers were greeted by name so definitely a popular spot with the locals. We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch & would highly recommend Liar Liar as a fantastic brunch & coffee place. A big thank you to Robin & the team for having us in & look forward to returning again soon.
Lovely staff, good food and good variety.
Happy to come back again and try more from the menu.
Can get busy on the weekends so my tip is to get there early!
Went in for a coffee with a friend, and was served promptly. I had a nice hot mocha which was on point and strong, which definitely helped start the day.
Loved the atmosphere inside the cafe. Would definitely come back for a brunch/lunch.
Had an amazing brunch here on a Sunday morning! The coffee was so good they also have a wide range of milks available. For food would highly recommend the liar liar hash, there won't be any hashbrowns but they have sautéed potatoes which waa equivalently yummy. If you are up for something spicy I would recommend the pants on fire it's like an egg shashuska but with a kick. Great for some family bonding time!

We had a perfect birthday brunch with friends in Liar Liar, delicious food and staff committed to great service. We will definitely be back soon!
It’s great to visit a place that takes pride in their coffee. Gorgeous coffee art and tasty as well. Service is extremely friendly and warm. Thank you, I love this place
Mmmmmm french toast. Had many a coffee from this joint in the past but snuck in for a quick breakfast for something different. Don't listen to Christopher Antill he was probably licking the windows on the bus before he arrived. 🚌
It's been a year since I've been here and it's still as excellent as ever. The staff are so warm and friendly, the coffee is really good and vibe is relaxed. I always have the poached chicken with pear and walnut because it is DELICIOUS! Go with confidence. A quintessential modern Melbourne café.
Great coffee, lovely friendly staff. It nice to be off the busy Main Street and there are sidewalk tables. They close at 3pm but I make sure I get there and if I’m running a bit late I can phone order and they have it waiting for me.
Very packed in early Sunday morning (9am-ish) yet quality of food (Liar Liar Hash) and coffee were still very good e.g. good management. Would recommend it to anyone. Such nice community atmosphere (mostly regulars from neighbourhood and almost everybody knows everyone). And the best part is there's no weekend surcharge! Quite rare in these Covid days.
