Long Story Short Cafe

Long Story Short has found a new home in Port Melbourne. An exciting addition to the brunch scene in the area, Long Story Short continues to be a delightful café in its new haunt. The new space is bright and airy, exuding modern chic charm with its minimalist designs and interiors, wooden benches, ceiling-suspended lighting and touches of greenery. 

As expected of any great Melbourne café, the coffee is excellent (Eagle Vision by Proud Mary) and poured by adept baristas. 

The drinks selection also includes in vogue additions such as matcha lattes and Sisko hot chocolates.

From the all day menu, the braised lamb shoulder is a winner. Melt in your mouth morsels of lamb is served with purple cauliflower, farro, sunflower seeds, dried cherries, pecans, coriander and lemon labneh and chilli.

For the sweet tooth, make sure you try their limited time only dessert burger - A totally insane combination. Just pour coconut milk over the top of the fairy floss cloud and it melts to reveal a sweet brioche bun loaded with fruit, jelly, gelato, popping candy and white-chocolate and matcha sauce. You have to see it to believe it.

For pure indulgence which is a little less insane but definitely just as delicious, the Pepe Saya Buttermilk Tim Tam Pancakes are a stunner. The Buttermilk Pancakes are a showstopper.  A simple breakfast favourite that amalgamates the best things in life (such as ice cream). The pancakes are fluffy and moist and embellished with wonderfully caramelised poached nashis, vanilla peanuts, mascarpone, chocolate soup and crispies and finished off with Tim Tam Gelato. Yum!

Armed with amiable staff and a great selection of honestly prepared food and beverage, Long Story Short puts most cafes to shame.
