Weatherson Foods

We went along for the Mother’s Day High Tea. The advertising material was so inviting saying that we’d receive a glass of champagne on arrival which we did. The delicacies arrived a little while later. The food was sumptuous and lived up to expectations! We finished up with cups of tea. The only thing that diminished our positive experience came at payment time, where we were told neither the champagne nor the tea were included in the High Tea package. This seemed at odds with the initial welcome bubbles and the fact that part of a high tea is … well a cup of tea!

First walk in recent time that we haven’t had to wear a mask outdoors and called past Chapter Three for a take away coffee and a treat for later on. I ordered a regular strength skinny latte and couldn’t go past the almond rhubarb tart. Coffee was a lovely blend... I think they use genovesse which is one of my favourite (used to buy these beans directly from the roasters on Moreland Road). The tart was a delicious mid morning breakfast after returning from my walk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Previous Review We called into Chapter Three with the intent of grabbing something sweet from their cabinet. They have amazing slices and tarts including a rhubarb and berry tart which looked exceptional. This was going to be my pick but the serving staff suggested we try their summer dessert and made it sound a delight. Syrup soaked brioche with summer berries and a side of cream. It tasted so good that we were glad for the recommendation. My hot choc and KD’s LF Chai were also super sweet and tasty ... just what we were after. Waiting staff were attentive and it was a pleasant dining experience. My one criticism is that no mention of the price of desserts appeared on any menu which is one of my pet hates. We could have been charged $100 for it for all we knew.

We came 20 minutes before closing but they still let us sit down and have our coffees we got an iced long black, 3 iced chocolates and 2 iced lattes they were all very nice some of the best coffee I’ve tried in Melbourne. The staff were kind of rude or they were in a rush to close but I couldn’t tell the difference that was the only down side to this experience.

Located in the Maling Road stretch, this place serves standard cafe fare in a relaxing atmosphere. We had the upstairs area to ourselves, which was nice but it meant we had to go downstairs to fetch staff when we needed attention. We chose from an extensive menu and the wait time was reasonable. My delicious rosti came with smoked salmon, asparagus, smashed avo, poached eggs topped with yuzu hollandaise sauce. Fresh ingredients combined harmoniously to make a tasty dish that's comforting and satisfying. My friends enjoyed their dishes, there was plenty of healthy and wholesome ingredients. Staff were friendly and helpful, just the upstairs seating didn't get much attention. Quite a good spot for the weekend brunch, just sit downstairs.
