Insta: melbfoodie_mark YT: MelbFoodieMark ** Check them out for more food reviews in Melbourne! I decided to visit Addict Food & Coffee after seeing it on Zomato Gold! I am not a huge fan of brunch but definitely enjoyed my time here at Addict Food & Coffee - especially since the weather was beautiful :) We decided to grab Big Breakfast ($20), Green Breakfast ($17), Truffle Mushroom Potato Hash ($18.5), and Son In Law Eggs ($18.5). I personally recommend Big Breakfast and Son In Law Eggs👌 -Big Breakfast - chorizo, tomato, roasted field mushroom, potatoe hash, avocado, toamto relish & poached eggs on sourdough toast. -Green Breakfast - sauteed kale, spinach & broccoli with peanut dukkah, hummus, snow pea tendrils, lemon and a poached egg. -Truffle Mushroom Potato Hash - truffle mushroom duxelle, hash, roasted field mushroom, caramelised onion and a poached egg. -Son In Law Eggs - crispy bacon, chili hollandaise, coriander, fried shallot & curry leaves on roti They were all delicious but I personally found Truffle Mushroom Potatoe Hash a bit bland - heaps of shredded mushroom but... that's pretty much it. I felt like it needed additional flavour to complete the dish. Son In Law Eggs on the other hand tasted amazing. Roti with chili hollandaise sauce was surprisingly good! Highly recommend this dish :) But overall, I felt like you get the most value for money with Big Breakfast - actually looked like a proper breakfast than a typical "brunch". Simply but hearty👌 Definitely...
Read moreGood food but bad ambiance. Unlucky to come on peak period and it was busy, that said, it’s a good sign that it’s busy, means it’s good.
Good: Food was great, with the chilli scrambled eggs topping the charts. Has a QR MENU called Mr Yum that gives you details on the menu options with good photos.
Bad: Disappointed that the “BIG” breakfast came relatively “small” compared to the chilli scrambled eggs (as shown in image). Only 1 piece of toast Vs 2 piece in the scrambled eggs. I mean mine was called the “BIG” breakfast, not the small and compact. Recommended Addict changing the name. Same can be said for the “Crispy” Bacon, you had my hopes up only to have them come soggy.
The Really Bad: The dish washer was outside the kitchen, so the sharp and loud “clink-clank” of glasses just made the whole experience bad. Imagine that on peak hour, it was just non-stop. Recommend sounds proofing the walls or just not have seatings close to the...
Read moreStumbled upon Addict Food and Coffee on Johnson Street during my recent trip to Melbourne while trying to escape a rainy day. This unassuming gem on a bustling Fitzroy street served as a perfect sanctuary from the busy world outside.
The staff were prompt and attentive, quickly finding me a seat and offering me their menu along with some refreshing water. I opted for a matcha latte, which was just the warmth I needed.
The food here is worth mentioning, too. I ordered the granola, one of their many vegetarian options. Made with orange spice, almonds and coconut granola, Earl Grey poached pear, and berry yogurt, it was as delicious as it was beautiful to look at.
As a bonus, the place morphs into a ramen bar after dark, adding an element of versatility to its appeal. While my experience was near-perfect, the only thing that could make it even better would be a slightly faster service. I can't wait to return and try their...
