The Hatter And The Hare - Maroondah

My favourite local cafe! Love love love the desserts/ pastries here : we tried the 'British dinner journeys ' aswell and it was absolutely amazing! Not a fan of the scramble eggs and the Korean wings. The wings had no flavour to it. Burger was decent but little bitter possibly from the slaw. Waffle fries were

The service and food is nice but our butterfly latte come with a hair on top and the plate also a little be dirty. The cake is nice and really good please for function.

The coffee is great, and the complimenting variety of desserts are amazing. I recommend getting the small fruit-flavoured cheesecakes such as raspberry or passionfruit. They aren't too sweet and are perfectly creamy. They also incorporate the fruit flavours really well and it does not taste even a tad artificial. The donuts I tried were great as well. You really cannot go wrong with any dessert items here.

Beautifully decorated interior, awesome array of gourmet cakes and pastry and interesting, tasty brunch and lunch menu. We had the Benedict adventure and the sweet potato corn fritters. Both were full of flavour and the fritters were a huge serving. Coffee is ok but not amazing. We got a takeaway of a small selection of donuts, death by chocolate cake and almond croissant and all were very nice, except I expected much more frangipane almond filling in the croissant (however the texture of the croissant itself was very good). Very relaxing and beautiful cafe to dine in, not too expensive for what you are getting and the quality. I wouldn’t say it’s really suitable for small toddlers due to the fancy interior but would be ok When it’s quieter during the week And not so crowded. Very busy on weekends and you can’t book- so we went early in the morning and found it nice and not crowded highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Found this hidden treasure in the industrial district of Bayswater. Awesome and creative food and great atmosphere, and will definitely be back again soon to try out the other dishes.Limited parking space outside the venue, would suggest to park across the road in the hotel public parking lot.
