Ophelia Westgarth

Booked a birthday brunch for a decently big group. Service was amazing - we were not rushed and there were no issues ordering our food/drinks. The staff were friendly and accommodating; letting us order at our own pace and the kitchen timed the food perfectly. The food tasted great and was presented well. It was refreshing to have something different than the typical eggs on toast combination at other cafes. The panko chicken thigh is particularly special. The space had a gorgeous interior on a sunny day. Can’t fault this place

📍 Ophelia, Westgarth - 4.3 ⭐️ out of 5. Ophelia has a menu filled with unique flavour combinations, a stunning interior, and a beautiful wall full of records. Items in the photos: ➖ Miso butterscotch iced latte with banana crumb ➖ Galette with roast zucchini, buffalo milk ricotta, and pesto ➖ Folded omelette with rainbow chard, chorizo and feta The butterscotch ice latte was not too sweet (which I was worried about when looking at it on the menu) and had a nice marriage of flavours. Although I liked it I wasn’t blown away by it and would probably prefer a regular iced latte, but think that it was worth trying. The galette was delicious with a beautiful mix of flavours and textures. I would definitely recommend. I think the food was good value for money, with a butterscotch iced latte and galette costing $33. The service was great here but I did feel rushed out. Overall 4.3 ⭐️ out of 5.

A very cute and spacious new place in Northcote with a lot of space and great coffee. The food is tasty but somewhat overpriced and the 11% surcharge on normal weekends and 18% on public holidays seems a bit overboard. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Tartine on a piece of sourdough and while it was very delicious, it was definitely not worth $31 (including 11% weekend surcharge). I definitely think the overall pricing and weekend surcharge should be reviewed, especially for certain dishes which are quite small and really unfairly priced.

Great food! Definitely should try the fried milk bread! But i wish the bread is thicker 😅 ❤️ The vinyl wall is awesome with great tunes.

Wow 🤩 stunning furnishing from the moment you walk in. We went for Friday lunch and got a table inside straight away. Menu was minimal with more options in the glass cabinet. I ordered a fresh orange juice + crumbed chicken. Was served a hugeeee piece of chicken and cooked to perfection. Loved the inbuilt record player to add to the vibes. Service was super attentive. Welcome to the neighbourhood, team!

Brilliant food and the fit out was very funky. Listening to music from spinning vinyls, it was the perfect place for a breakfast while watching the rain pour down outside. We had the filter coffee (good), granola (excellent, the thyme was a delightful touch) and the sausage with the cabbage (similarly delicious). The staff were incredibly helpful and lovely when there was a slight delay in our order (which, being their first week, was totally understandable)! Will definitely be back again. Next time for an afternoon drink. 🍸

Fabulous new cafe with a compact and delicious menu. Enjoyed a very delicious gallette and cardomon bun with a coffee for breakfast. The interior is spacious, busy and full of light. Can't wait to visit again and have lunch next time.

Unexpected refreshing menu. The stuffed bullhorn peppers were delicious. The coffee was good for my dusty head. And serving Saison Aperitifs Fallen Quinces made me very happy - one of my Melbourne favourites
