A lovely coffee venue. Quiet. Plenty of Space for small groups or just with a partner. Have been coming here for a while. Background music is not over bearing and suits the ambience of the venue. Food is fresh and always tasty. Coffee is made well and quickly. Sandwiches and Snacks available at the counter always greet the customer and are very hard to resist. This is a lovely tranquil venue with busy bustling Glenferrie Road outside the doors. I’ll be back with others again.
We were invited to the Prickly Pear Cafe at 75 Glenferrie Rd, Malvern for brunch and we were greeted promptly by a friendly waitress who showed us to our table in the courtyard. It’s a pretty courtyard – not overly big but shaded by large umbrellas and lots of greenery all around. Inside the decor is pleasant with wooden tables, some scattered cushions and brick walls.
We ordered the chicken and avocado sandwich, the French toast brioche and the Prickly Pear Big Breaky.
The French toast was exceptional, oozing with maple syrup and it came with a generous serving of mixed berries. The Big Breaky was massive! It consists of poached eggs, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, bacon, halloumi and a beef sausage on sourdough toast!! Absolutely great value for money and everything was prepared and presented beautifully. If you’re hungry – this one is for you! The chicken and avocado sandwich with spinach and mustard mayo was full of flavour and very appetizing. It came with nicely toasted Turkish bread or you can choose a multigrain tortilla wrap, the chicken was moist and tasty and the avocado was ripe and fresh. Simple but just delicious.
Breakfast is served till 3pm and lunch starts at 11.30am. There are many things in the display fridge to choose from and you can custom design your own sandwich or Panini’s.
The Prickly Pear is open from 7.30 until 4 but the kitchen closes at 3.pm and parking in Glenferrie Rd is only an hour. Highly recommended.
Amazing place! Great food and even better service! Highly recommend. The owner Helen was lovely and very accommodating. Perfect place for a morning coffee and brekky.
