Flour & Fern Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

A bit off the beaten track but well worth the trip. The place was full upon our arrival and rightly so. Their menu was so intriguing I wanted to order five dishes. We ended up with three the peanut butter bowl, breakfast pizza and the rainbow chakra bowl though the Tim tam pancakes certainly tempted.

I started with a hydrate juice which was a deliciously refreshing summery blend of watermelon, pineapple and coconut water. Before long the nourish bowl was out in all its vibrant glory. Such a colourful generously jam packed bowl of goodness. A sizeable piece of perfectly cooked salmon was the star of the show (there is also the option for tofu or chicken).

Next out was the smoothie bowl which has to be the best I’ve ever had in all my experience as a long term smoothie bowl connoisseur. The peanut butter flavour was strong and it was so stunningly presented I just wanted to stare at it forever. All of their smoothie bowls are topped with delicious house made popsicles, dark chocolate, bananas and other seasonal fruit, coconut flakes, chocolate covered cranberries and granola. What a beauty

Then we had the breakfast pizza which combined all my favourites; avocado, vine tomatoes and feta on board everyone’s favourite carby Italian invention. This was another example of knockout presentation. The only damper on the day was that they had yesterday’s paper but the super friendly staff and phenomenal food more...

I have been visiting my elderly aunt at Villa Maria in Berwick from 11am to 6pm each day to fill in for her two personal carers who are on leave, and the excessive driving all week (1.5hrs to 2hrs each way depending on traffic) and being sick of eating cheese and crackers each day, I thought I would treat myself to a takeaway brekky/brunch before heading to the aged care centre this Sunday. I ordered the chilli scrambled eggs with chilli jam and shaved parmesan in a croissant. Service was relatively quick and friendly. A lot of people were already there and more were arriving steadily in the 8 to 10 minutes I waited, as well as delivery people picking up orders. As for the food, I was surprised by the delicate mix of the ingredients which was so delicious and the buttery croissant was amazing and complemented the filling very well. I will definitely visit again and highly recommend the item I ordered as it was super yummy! Don't have a photo of the filled croissant as I was too hungry to wait lol...but suggest you try this amazing little cafe out...

One of the best smoothie bowls I’ve ever had and honestly, worth the hour long travel 🤣

FOOD: I ordered the Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowl and after lusting for it and having no time to travel for an hour, I finally had the time - I made it a MISSION to come try Flour and Fern’s coveted smoothie bowl and it was so worth it 🤤 My favourite part of the entire smoothie bowl definitely had to be the magnum, I think mine was a mint chocolate chip one? And honestly, move over box Magnum’s because Flour and Fern has NAILED IT! It was $20 but it was such a big portion that it’s definitely worth every single penny! There was nothing about the smoothie bowl that was imperfect and as a peanut butter lover, this wasn’t overly peanut butter-y which was so good! This smoothie bowl was really balanced in terms of flavour and the toppings were really perfect!

SERVICE: Service was good!

I really really adore this smoothie bowl and if someone were to ask me if I’d travel an hour to try this again, I would...
