beautifully presented, fresh food in a surprising location.
where // shucked, 9 creswell st, newstead
what // they have the one menu all day, offering a range of options suitable for lunch and dinner. the list of cocktails also sounds great, unfortunately for those of us driving!
verdict // although i wasn't really the herbiness of my meal, i do believe it was a personal preference issue (poor choice on my part). i am definitely keen to return and try out some of their other meals. it's not the cheapest meal around (they do offer a 5% discount for instagramming your meal on the go!), but definitely not the priciest either. loved the interior as well.
info // open wed-fri 7am-2pm, sat 7.30-2pm and sun 7.30-4pm. paid parking on surrounding streets, strictly one bill per table. they also do live music sunday sessions!

the café is hidden away in the street behind all the car yards at newstead, and is easy to miss just opposite the entrance to the VW carpark. the very unassuming exterior gives way to a spacious interior with high ceilings lending a light and airy feel to the whole space. the decor is gorgeous too - forgot to take a photo, but you'll be pleasantly surprised by the ambience in this industrial location.when // lunch on a friday

harry's hash - sweet potato hash, wilted spinach, bacon and poached egg w tomato relish (18) their most popular dish, and a hard one to pass by. i did enjoy the sweetness of the hash, but it was pretty strong on the herbs for my admittedly non-adventurous palate (possibly fennel seeds?). the egg was also slightly overdone. it was a very generous serve and incredible to look at, but i would go for something else next time.
please peas me - minted pea and haloumi fritters w citrus yoghurt (16) + avo & egg (20) the sweet name definitely contributed to the choosing of the dish. i was jealous of my friend when it appeared, and quite rightly so, as it was apparently delicious and was polished off in record time.
espresso & vanilla shake (6.5) can't fault this, great strong coffee flavour and not too sweet. they do a lot of other yummy sounding drinks as well! the lychee & lemon smoothie was a hit as well.
