The Foodstore Café

The Foodstore Café in Hawthorn is a neighbourhood gem. Loved by locals, this café serves up interesting brunch options.

Whatever you do, make sure you try the Middle Eastern Lamb Salad. We loved the perfectly cooked morsels of harissa spiced lamb served with roasted baby carrots, cauliflower, fennel, green beans, mixed herbs and salad leaves topped with fresh pomegranate arils and adorned with creamy coriander yoghurt. Just yum!

For health fiends there are always amazing specials available as well as the ever popular superfood salad (which you can opt to have with chicken). A wonderful amalgamation of flavours and textures, we loved the tender and super flavoursome Portugese spiced chicken tossed with a nutrient dense mix of spiced broccoli, asparagus, beans, snow peas, organic quinoa, black rice, corn, zucchini noodles, carrots, Tuscan kale and spinach, finished with their house dressing and laced with Danish feta, chilli and pomegranate.

If you want something extra hearty  do not go past the beef burger. This is an almighty burger featuring a beautifully chargrilled beef patty, fried egg, tomato, mixed salad leaves, gherkins, dill spicy mayo and chilli jam – all served with a generous side of lemon herb chips. Just. Yum!

On the drinks front, there is plenty to choose from. The coffee is truly excellent and poured by adept baristas and there is also a great selection of non-caffeinated options like freshly squeezed juices and gorgeous smoothies.

With an extensive breakfast and lunch menu, there are dishes to suit everyone's tastes including the little ones.
