Fruits of Passion - Melbourne

I love the comfortable and homely feel of this cute cafe in Kensington. Staff are really friendly and chatty, and the place is often full, with lots of locals coming here for the fantastic coffee and food.<br/ <br/ With an interesting menu and yummy treats available, I always manage to find something delicious to eat when I pop in. These guys also do a fab takeaway coffee, and it's one of my favourites when I'm in this part of town.

One of my faves since moving to Kenso six years ago, and I've never been disappointed! Excellent coffee and great menu choices that are a bit different to your standard Melbourne brunch fare. Very reasonably priced too. Great gluten free options. Friendly and efficient service. Eggs poached to perfection which is a rare find these days and all food looks amazing. Had the brassica classica and unlike salads in other Melbourne cafes, it is very moreish and actually a decent portion and filling.

There’s a few brunch offerings in Kensington and we opted for FOP for their spin on the eggs Benny. Theirs is served on a potato hash and drowning in apple cider hollandaise. How divine. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the hash was crispy and hearty. Friendly and prompt service, this is a lovely dining spot along the sunny Bellair Street strip.

As a Kensington resident, I found this cafe’s mocha is so far the best around the neighborhood. <br/ I do like the coffee from Pepper, but their mocha is not as good as this place’s.<br/ <br/ The service is good, people who work there are always warm and nice.<br/ The brunch menu provides a lot of options, and if you don’t want any meal on the menu? Don’t worry, customized meal is always an option.<br/ <br/ I love the chat potatoes there, as well as the eggs Benedict. The cheese cakes are also worth a try. :

The eggs benedict with ham hock was delicious, my poached eggs were slightly over cooked but not enough to ruin the dish. The hollandaise sauce has a delicious apple cider flavour, which works so well with the ham hock. Great dish, I highly recommend it. My partner was also extremely excited because they served 'spiders '.. and yes it 's true, some people never grow up. My chai latte was also fantastic. Overall, it was a great Saturday morning breakfast in the sun.
