Reasonably priced and delicious! We had the specials: pumpkin soup and lasagne; and the crispy salmon.
The service was superb. Will definitely be back.
Aura is a reliable choice for brunch and lunch. Enjoyable outdoor area with a sunny aspect. Friendly relaxed atmosphere.
Delicious and great brunch! Big portions! The chef has great passion and dedication 👍🏻
Delicious & beautiful café in Lower Templestowe!
110% worth checking out if you’re in the area or even worth the travel if you’ve been tossing up to visit!
I enjoyed an array of vibrant and tasty menu options and I can straight up say they are some of the best I’ve tried in terms of flavour, texture & presentation!
Spoil your tastebuds and loved ones today @ Aura
A cute cafe just outside Macedon plaza with a lot of seating inside & out with a variety of dishes so there is something for everyone. I went here with a friend & I got the lamb tacos & my friend got the corn fritters.
The lamb tacos were awesome. 3 massive tacos filled with lamb & slaw. The chutney & tzatziki was delicious.
The corn fritters looked delicious as well. The bacon looked absolutely amazing!

If you’re anything like me, a visit to the medical centre is always the one thing I’ll do just about everything to avoid. It’s usually at these places that I feel most anxiety, and apprehension. The thought of a café at such centres, offering an escape from the clinical environment, is so reassuring. More so, knowing there’s somewhere to go and switch off from that stress-filled experience, is nothing short of comforting.
It’s for this reason Aura exists. It was built on the foundations of creating a positive aura in an area commonly associated with life’s challenges.
Aura emulates a vibrant energy field, which is thanks to those who emulate such goodness, such as Steph who manages this refreshing space.
Head chef Ash Jhowry puts a great deal of energy into his menu, and his warm chicken salad left me with some nutritious energy to see me through a busy day. The Grilled fritters are also a must; as is the Toast of Paris; served with passionfruit curd and vanilla bean mascarpone.
Aura is located at the corner of High street/ Manningham Rd, in the Manningham medical centre. Say hi to Steph!
Wow.
Visited Aura for the first time this morning and it definitely won't be the last.
Some of the best coffee I've had in Melbourne. I had the pumpkin smash and my partner had the mushroom hotcakes, both fantastic. We both completely cleared our plates, which we've never done at a breakfast before.
The thing that completely blew us away, though, was the phenomenal service. Staff were SO attentive and friendly. Fast service despite the fact that we managed to arrive after a big group.
We'll be making this a regular expedition. What a hidden gem.
4.6. What a delightful cafe.
They’re doing a lot of things right here. It’s a nice spot with a lovely light filled outdoor area on the right day. Inside is terrific too. Numerous things stand out here but number one is the service. It’s utterly delightful. Each of the three staff members who attended to us was wonderful. Efficient, friendly, polite and slightly humourous. That to me is pretty much perfect service. The all important coffee and food are excellent too. The coffee was beautiful. Strong, silky and substantive. I had two superbly made long blacks here. I could not fault them. My dish off the all day brekkie menu was a beauty too. It is called the Herbivore and I loved every element, particularly the haloumi, the bacon and the avocado. I really loved it. My colleague thoroughly enjoyed his fish and chips as well.
Bravo. The Aura really delivered and would put quite a few more highly fancied venues in the shade. It is highly recommended. I’ll be back.

Lovely outdoor sitting area for a quite and chilled breakie catching up with an old friend. The staff were so lovely making sure everything was going well. We both had the Dragon Fruit bowl with seasonal fruits on-top which was so refreshing on a hot morning.
after having come here multiple times over a three year period, returned today following a hiatus to try other places and enjoyed it just as much as ever. absolutely every single member of staff is warm and welcoming whilst offering service with a smile, and this has been so on each occasion. attentive without being overbearing, polite and respectful. the coffee is made perfectly with good quality beans and a strong caffeine kick regardless of the order, and the food is just delicious. usually opting for the big breakfast varieties and a porridge type option, today trialled the dragonfruit acai bowl and pumpkin smash with additional hash browns without disappointment. the only tiny improvement suggestion would be to have "homemade" potato rosti or fritter instead of a seemingly somewhat store bought type. super keen to come back after their days off over the new year period, 2019 cannot come fast enough to ensure a visit again!!
Really great and yummy food. Coffee is nice and strong. Surprised there isn’t more customers cause I think it’s such a lovely place. Would definitely come back!
This is such a lovely place and is a slightly hidden treasure. It always has a calm and welcoming atmosphere and thanks to the staff, I felt very comfortable eating there alone. The food is delicious, mine was chicken fillets and salad. The chicken was moist and so tender, I could have cut it with a fork. The dipping sauce was very tasty and the salad and dressing was equally delicious. I also had freshly squeezed orange juice and a lovely cup of chai tea. Their jug of chai was enough for 1 and 3/4 cups. The owners are friendly and welcoming and I encourage you to try Aura Cafe for eat in or take away. On a sunny day you might like to try their outdoor area.
Parking can be a little tricky as the medical centre can become busy, but there is always parking further up in the parking area, or even just across the road in the shopping car park. It's worth the effort. Give this lovely local a try. I will be back for another visit very soon.
I am seriously impressed by their food. Hidden gem in that area I would say, went there couple weeks ago with friends. Nice staff, reasonable waiting time for food in busy time. Absolutely good food!
Seriously love the taste of the Ruben sandwich, perfect combination and LOOK AT THE SIZES!!!!!!🤣
Doesn't like other cafes only serve hotcakes as dessert. They have french toast! And taste really match and fresh, especially the yellow part mix with the white part(not sure what it is😅). So many dessert there on the display fridge and kid can choose eggs waffle as dessert.
Would definitely come try again next time.
OMG there low carb stuff is amazing!
Reasonable pricing too.
I'm going back!

New owner, revamped ... Got potential.
Young, creative chef in the house.
Attentive service.
I can see happy hours one of these afternoons.
That was 4 years ago...
In transition, trust the coffee too.
Amazing staff, always friendly. The food is always consistent been visiting for a while now and impressed every single time. Best savoury pancakes I've had! The space is very nice, also had my 18th party a couple of years back and was a great venue for it. Over all an amazing place and a go to Cafe for me and all of my friends!
