I recently had an amazing weekday brunch at Napa in Glen Iris, and it was an experience to remember! There are a few parking options in the main street and we didn't have any issues finding a park! The space itself, when you walk in, is quite big inside with some tables outside too (it is a noisy busy street though so just be mindful while picking the spot to sit down).

The seasonal menu is fantastic – I highly recommend trying the Coconut Curry Prawns! The portions were generous and the flavours were spot-on. The French toast was also the star of the show – fresh, beautifully presented and just the perfect level of sweetness.

We eyeballed the other meals from customers and they also looked filling and of great portion, especially the Chicken and Waffles which looked beautiful and will definitely be a must next time. We were also impressed by the smoothies we had – they are not in the big menu but there is a small menu with them - be sure to ask for it! The consistency and flavour was great. One thing to note is that I wish they had more vegan/dairy free options.

The cafe itself has such a cosy, aesthetic vibe with a charming little library that adds to its appeal. It’s the perfect place for a relaxed brunch date, whether with friends, family, or a special someone.

With hearty portions and delicious food, Napa is a must-visit for anyone craving a satisfying brunch. We’ll definitely be back soon!
