The staff are friendly and caring I feel like I’m with family. So if you are in the area or passing by I highly recommend coming here. You will leave with a full stomach amazing service along with a smile on your face and laughter

We headed back to The Foodstore Cafe this morning and it’s always a pleasure to come to this sunny friendly Auburn street local. Coffees orders we then selected some healthier options from the menu as have been trying to make “better choices” as of late.

I picked the smashed avo which while KD had a Acai smoothie bowl from the specials menu. We also ordered the green smoothie.

My smashed avo was ultra delicious differentiating itself from your standard smash by having beetroot purée, quinoa and a generous amount of freshly sliced chilli. It was simply a delicious dish to go back to.

The Acai bowl, was huge and fresh, generous amount of healthy peanut butter, fresh fruit and wonderful homemade puffy granola, I think what made this dish was the inclusion of pistachios, perfect textural crunch and flavour.

Such a consistently good cafe, we haven’t found anything to criticise except for the fact that they aren’t currently open on a Sunday so we need to fit them into our Saturday routine.

Thanks to the team at The Foodstore Cafe for their hospitality.

The Foodstore Cafe was full of natural light as we dined in for Saturday brunch. There was a modern feel about a place that had plenty lent from the past. An art deco door made its way into a bench and tiles on table tops were blended with cork light shades and modern pine. We drank delicious smooth creamy lattes while deciding on what next. I really enjoyed the Veneziano beans.

We chose two items from the regular breakfast menu and couldn’t say no to the scrambled egg bagel on the specials board.

The scrambled egg bagel came with smoked salmon and camembert and was a wonderful choice. It had a hit of chili and this dish was full of flavour and taste buds danced from the heat, delicious.

We also ordered the ancient grains porridge, which could only be described as next level. A most wonderful texture from the inclusion of quinoa and chia and the flavour from the topping of orange baked rhubarb and pistachio crumb would make Goldilocks proud.

We decided to share a brunch dessert and the Orange blossom hotcakes can only be described as an Insagramers dream. Topped with ice-cream and piled high with fairy floss these hotcakes perched very proudly on the plate with bright colors of red and pink. Pleasingly the look was backed up with flavour as the fluffy cakes had soaked up the delicious orange blossom syrup. I loved the crunch from the chocolate soil which paired perfectly with the orange flavours and slivered fresh strawberries, just yum.

A welcoming space and friendly staff made our visit all the better. Thanks so much for having us.

Isn’t it great when you have a cafe close to your work that serves consistently delicious coffee, great healthy food and service with a smile- always!

When looking for a great cafe for brunch, The food store cafe ticks all the right boxes. It’s on busy Auburn Road, however there is ample parking, and lots of seating inside and out. It’s busy with locals and people living the brunch life.

My usual order is a coffee & one of their salads which is made fresh to order. I highly recommend the calamari salad and the chicken and halloumi salad. The beef burger is good as well as their instaworthy hotcakes! They also have house made cakes and other treats like vegan slices & croissants.

The Foodstore Café in Hawthorn is a neighbourhood gem. Loved by locals, this café serves up interesting brunch options.

Whatever you do, make sure you try the Middle Eastern Lamb Salad. We loved the perfectly cooked morsels of harissa spiced lamb served with roasted baby carrots, cauliflower, fennel, green beans, mixed herbs and salad leaves topped with fresh pomegranate arils and adorned with creamy coriander yoghurt. Just yum!

For health fiends there are always amazing specials available as well as the ever popular superfood salad (which you can opt to have with chicken). A wonderful amalgamation of flavours and textures, we loved the tender and super flavoursome Portugese spiced chicken tossed with a nutrient dense mix of spiced broccoli, asparagus, beans, snow peas, organic quinoa, black rice, corn, zucchini noodles, carrots, Tuscan kale and spinach, finished with their house dressing and laced with Danish feta, chilli and pomegranate.

If you want something extra hearty do not go past the beef burger. This is an almighty burger featuring a beautifully chargrilled beef patty, fried egg, tomato, mixed salad leaves, gherkins, dill spicy mayo and chilli jam – all served with a generous side of lemon herb chips. Just. Yum!

On the drinks front, there is plenty to choose from. The coffee is truly excellent and poured by adept baristas and there is also a great selection of non-caffeinated options like freshly squeezed juices and gorgeous smoothies.

With an extensive breakfast and lunch menu, there are dishes to suit everyone's tastes including the little ones.

On a sunny Wednesday morning at 7am, we decided to have breakfast at this café – it was a nice, well-lit place which was pretty busy as well.

We started off with a coffee, matcha latte and a beetroot latte. I love how you can add honey into the drinks to sweeten it.

For the food, we ordered:

ORANGE BLOSSOM HOTCAKES – served with seasonal fruits, chocolate soil, berry coulis, vanilla ice cream, fairy floss and maple syrup. – The hotcakes were of a really nice red colour and they were really moist, thick and fluffy. The vanilla ice cream and fairyfloss is just really good together and along with the hotcakes, the combination is just too good!

SALMON OMELETTE – Smoked salmon, cherry tomato, herbs, capsicum, chilli, onion, feta on sourdough toast – This wasn’t even my dish but I ate half of the omelette already. It’s one of the best salmon omelette’s I’ve had as the smoked salmon wasn’t too salty, and the omelette had a really nice flavour (not plain like some can be) and you can taste the chilli kick in it! I love it!

Thank you The Food Store café.

I visited The Foodstore cafe on Auburn rd Hawthorn for the first time to catch up with a friend for lunch, and we were both very impressed. It was a lovely day so we decided to sit outside. However inside the cafe it looked very spacious and cosy.

My friend and I decided on sharing something savoury and something sweet.
The staff were super friendly and were happy to give us some extra plates to share our meals.

We started with the tasty Portuguese chicken platter and it tasted so fresh and flavoursome. Then we indulged in the delicious orange blossom hotcakes and two smoothies. One was Acai and the other green. We were both full and satisfied.

I can’t wait to revisit and try another great looking dish off the menu.

My friend and I shared the portugese chicken platter and the pancakes. The chicken was so nicely seasoned with plenty of flavour, the spicy chicken and sweet dressing on the salad was just perfect and super fresh.

The pancakes were so good even after we spent ages taking photos they were still so fluffy. The orange blossom and fairy floss combo was spot on.

It was such a nice day we dined outside, perfect day for smoothies I had the acai, my bestie had the green smoothie it was very thirst quenching on a summer day.

We are both looking forward to coming again and trying something else on the menu.

I’m always on the lookout for something new and different. I was excited to try The FoodStore Cafe, in Hawthorn East. Specialising in salads, delicious burgers and amazing latte art, the aim here is to enjoy some great food and drinks, and have a relaxing time doing it. Staff are extremely welcoming. The restaurant is modern in decor and comfortable seating. I had the chicken and halloumi salad and my partner had the beef burger. I’ll definitely visit again soon - I want to try those pancakes!

Tucked away along Auburn Rd Hawthorn, The Foodstore is a well kept secret amongst locals, and for very good reason. Welcomed by the friendly team we sat at one of the cool tiled tables and soaked in the atmosphere. It's a large space with lots of natural light, and it's decorated in a homely but funky way. It helps to make the large space more cosy and encourages you to settle in and enjoy yourself.

The menu is filled with an abundance of fresh options that are just waiting to tantalise your taste buds. We started with fantastic coffee and a yummy green smoothie, before devouring the fantastic Eggs Benny. Served on a sweet potato rosti, this sweetness is a perfect contrast to the creamy egg and hollondaise and tender, succulent meat. Such a fantastic start.

Now onto the Orange Blossom hotcakes. The most perfect stack of vibrant red pancakes topped with a huge cloud of Persian fairy floss, berry compote, ice cream and a pistachio crumb. The little jar of syrup on the side was the perfect touch so you could make the dish as sweet as you like. We loved the Middle Eastern flavours in this dish, and it was as tasty as it was visually stunning. Definitely worth the trip to the Foodstore for this dish alone.

We dined on a busy weekday morning, and the place was full the entire time. Word has definitely gotten around to the locals that this is a cafe worth visiting, and with such fabulous food, amazing service and the smiling faces welcoming you, why wouldn't you become a regular?

What a fantastic cafe!
I’ve been dying to get there to try their acai as I’ve heard so many good things about it...it didn’t disappoint! The smashed avo was just as delicious, the beetroot hummus goes perfectly with this dish.
Plenty of options for all dietary needs here, it’s well worth a visit!

My husband and I chanced upon this place, it looked good so we gave it a go. The owners/staff are very friendly people, make you feel very welcome the moment they see you. We shared the Biscoff pancakes which was delicious and a bowl of fries seasoned with lemon pepper which made a nice change to standard fries. Enjoyed our soy lattes too. We sat outside with our dog. It is dog friendly with water bowls outside.They have lots of outdoor seating and large wide interior too. Easy parking at the front. We'll be back!

Loved everything about this cafe, nice and cozy with a fantastic menu! The coffee was also a standout, and exactly what we needed! Favourite dish would have to be the corn and pumpkin fritters, great flavour combo and the way it was all presented is incredible.

Cosy local cafe with flavoursome brunch food and friendly staff. What I enjoyed: 🐑 Bush Lamb Sweet Potato Hash - punchy Smokey flavour pulled lamb with a bit of crunch from almonds and cashews, in between the diced carrots and cauliflower. he sweet potato hash was kind of overpowered by the strong flavours from the lamb. It could have been be a little bit more balanced, in my honest opinion. If you like strong flavours, this is the dish for you. T 🥗 Chicken & Halloumi Salad Lighter option, yummy and so healthy with all those greens! And the halloumi makes it perfect! I am loving their freshly squeezed juice too👌🏻 Can’t wait to be back to try their other dishes! Thank you for your hospitality!

A favourite with locals, you'll definitely find something for every taste buds on the menu. Think classics such as Eggs Benedict with slow cooked beef brisket, Reuben Sandwich, Chilli Scrambled or Mushrooms on Toast. For something lighter, you can't go pass the Chicken and Halloumi Salad. Great flavours, and faultless execution, The Foodstore undeniably serves up major brunch goals, and the coffee is absolutely top notch here.
