Form Cafe - Essendon

I really enjoy the coffee at this place, the service is great, and they also have a nice menu to choose from! I will definitely continue to come here whenever I'm in the area to grab my coffee.

This restaurant is a hidden gem that you might miss if you drive past it too quickly. The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations for a local food establishment. We visited on a Sunday for brunch and were pleased to find that we didn't have to wait for a table. However, one dish left us a bit disappointed - our friend had been expecting wagyu beef, but when the dish arrived, he had to ask the waiter where the wagyu was.

We tried the Grilled Halloumi, which was cooked perfectly and paired nicely with roasted mushrooms and tangy fresh pomegranate. It felt like a dish special enough to be on the specials board. The Chilli Coconut Scramble didn't have a strong coconut flavor, but the potent chili was great. The presentation could have been improved, but we understood it was just scrambled eggs on a brioche bun. The Wagyu Beef Sandwich was a bit disappointing as our friend was expecting wagyu beef but ended up with bacon. However, he still enjoyed the dish and the wedges, leaving us feeling full. The Boneless Pork Belly was a highlight, with crunchy skin and a perfect balance of flavors from the granola and balsamic pepper figs. It was a pleasantly unexpected dish.

This charming local café offers delicious food. We sampled the butcher sandwich and the green bowl special, both of which were super tasty. The menu has plenty of inspiring options, and I'm excited to try the porridge or the pork belly next time. They also serve a great cup of coffee and a delicious spiced chai latte.

I absolutely love the coffee at this place, the service is fantastic, and the menu is great as well! I will definitely keep coming back here to get my coffee fix.
