Breakfast all day at Seven Seeds

Seven Seeds (114 Berkeley St, Carlton) is a new venture that is opened by Mark Dundon. He is known for his passion for coffee. Other outlets that you may be aware of are St. Ali in South Melbourne & Baba Budan on Little Bourke Street. The spacious & high ceiling cafe is set up in a warehouse. On the right when you enter, you are greeted with a wall covered with bicycle racks.

Muesli, pastries, savoury/sweet toasts & hot pressed sandwiches makes up the menu. We ordered a latte each. How I just love the aroma of good coffee especially after a night out.

I ordered the french toasted brioche with pear, ricotta, roasted almonds and honest maple. The dish was so well balance. The sweetness was not overpowering with the clever use of ricotta. I like the play of texture on the plate. I wish there was a little more ricotta to mop up the toast. Or may I had too much of it too fast! I am not usually a big fan of sweet breakfast dishes but I am SOLD. I wanted more more more! Was almost licking the old skool green tin plate that it was served it but was stopped by Mr. H…..

Mr. H ordered a sardine, onion & sherry chutney, fontina hot pressed sandwich. It comes with a nice fresh crunchy cabbage salad and a slice of lemon. This sandwich reminds both us when we were students and eating sardines from a can. This is not said in a bad way! The sandwich is lovely and so comforting. Fresh sardines were used. The chutney was a slight tang and made this dish come alive! The melted fontina added the extra dimension to this dish. YUM YUM!

Tummy is totally satisfied. Awaken by the aroma and taste of the nice latte. Breakfast at 2pm. And why not? It is not the usual bacon & eggs but it works just as well for me. I highly recommend it to anyone that want a long lazy Saturday afternoon breakfast. Come in, speak to friendly service staff, eat, drink and hope to catch Mark or Bridget for a chat about their passion. Only good things happen here.
