Short Straw

Sometimes drawing the Short Straw isn't such a bad thing. 

Located on Glenferrie Road, Short Straw is a great addition to Hawthorn's thriving brunch scene. The ambience is casual and relaxed - airy with off white walls and plenty of natural light, complemented by wooden and metallic furnishings. The menu boasts an array of delectable options with something for everyone. 

As expected of any good Melbourne café, the coffee is excellent.

We loved the spiced lentil and kale salad. A wonderfully healthy option with nutrient dense ingredients such as roasted red pepper dressing, kale pesto, smoked salmon and finished off with perfectly poached eggs encasing dripping yolk.

For something heartier, the baked mushrooms are lovely - Cooked in garlic, thyme, roasted herbs and hazelnut crumb and served alongside luxurious whipped goats cheese and parmesan that you can mop up with your toast.

The food, coupled with friendly service makes this a wonderful brunch option in the area.
