Slight deviation from my next list as I just had Pilates and have wanted to try this café for a long time.

Yesterday was Grandad's funeral which I spoke at. It's been a stressful and sad week for me and my family, so I've decided to take a bit of me time while our baby is in childcare.

Let's get into the coffee rating:

  • Coffee look - 1
  • Coffee flavour - 0.5
  • Price - $5.80 = 0.5
  • Pram friendly - 0.5
  • Atmosphere - 1
Total: 3.5/5


The coffee looked really good when it came out. There wasn't much of a coffee aroma and my suspicions were confirmed when I got past the nice but thin foam. The coffee flavour is almost completely lost to the milk. A bit of a risk when you order a large, but one I feel should be overcome with good coffee.

On the slightly more expensive side, but not too bad. The atmosphere in here is great, with vintage and repurposed décor. It is however, cramped inside, so not good for prams. There are a few spots outside you could bring a pram to.

It looks like they do woodfired pizza and other good food, so might have to come back for food sometime.

Last weekend was spent down in Colac catching up with my in-laws, extended family and friends, and of course an obligatory trip to Timboon Ice Cream.

It was so good to see our baby have cuddles and playtime with my husbands side of the family as she doesn't get to see them often. She's changed so much since they saw her last.

We would go down more but we so busy now, and the amount I have to pack now is ridiculous. Now that she is self feeding every meal I have to pack more, not less. The packing takes ages and the unpacking when you get home takes even longer because you kind of can't be bothered.

In the lead up to the funeral yesterday I've been kept busy with housework and taking care of our baby.

The Tuesday after Grandad passed away I decided to get out of the house and take our baby for a walk. I went into a local homewares shop to look for a smaller clothes hamper for our babies dirty clothes and stumble on something I wasn't looking for but decided I had to have.

It was a cross stitch kit with a bee and honeycomb pattern.

For anyone who knows my family this just felt meant to be (or meant to bee, sorry bad joke).

For those who don't know, my Grandad had been beekeeping since he was 17. My Grandad and Uncle John formed a partnership in 1982 and Edmonds honey was born. My uncle still runs it and sells the best honey around. I might be a bit biased but I've always been hard pressed to find better honey. Just don't buy Capilano, that is all I will say on the matter.

Anyway, this morning after dropping our baby at childcare I finished my cross stitch.




This blog post is dedicated to my Grandad Murray Albert Edmonds, the most generous and loving man I knew.

Until next time...

  For Change Café Bellfield 21/07/2023 Decided to take myself out for lunch after finishing work at 1pm since I have a Dr's appointment at 2:30pm, and couldn't be bothered going home yet. I'd have to go home have lunch, go to the clinic, go home for probably an hour or less and then pick our toddler up at 4pm. A big no thank you to that. Instead I decided to hit up one of the cafes on my list, have a relaxed lunch, go to the Dr and just pick our toddler up a bit earlier. Time for the review: Coffee look - 1 Coffee flavour - 1 Price - $5.50 = 1 Pram Friendly - 1 Atmosphere - 1 Total: 5/5 Holy crap it happened! A café has actually lived up to my slightly unrealistic expectations 😂 The coffee was very well presented in a beautiful cup. In my excitement I may have forgotten to sniff before tasting, but not a big deal because the flavour is there in spades. The foam was luxuriously velvety and a great precursor to the flavourful coffee underneath. The price is fantastic consi...

Mick's at Sweet by Nature (Sweet by Nature) 11/11/2023 The last few weeks have been zooming by with such force I decided to stop for a breather coffee and lunch after errands. I almost didn't because I feel like I'll have so much washing etc when I get home. But it can wait. Let's review: Coffee look - 1 Coffee flavour - 1 Price - $18.30 for meal, so $5.30 at a guess = 1 Pram friendly - 1 Atmosphere - 1 Total: 5/5 I'm not overly surprised they got such a good rating. I've been to Sweet by Nature many times over the years and their coffee and food has always been good. The café section is now a separate business called Mick's at Sweet by Nature. Thankfully the quality of everything is still excellent. When I took my first sniff I knew I was in for a good coffee. The froth was lusciously velvety and the perfect intro on what was to come. As I took my first sip I got a good hit of flavour. The coffee they use is excellent quality. In terms of the price that is ...

Aisle 17 14/08/2023 I've come to a random café straight after work because it's really convenient and I realised it's been a few weeks since my last review. I think I'll have to put a fortnightly/three weekly reminder in my phone since I keep almost forgetting. #mumbrain As you will see I've come for lunch as well. So lots to explore in today's review. Let's get into it: Coffee look - 1 Coffee flavour - 1 Price - $6 = 0.5  Pram friendly - 0.5 Atmosphere - 1 Total: 4/5 The coffee is well presented and not stingy on the all important choc dusting. The foam was a little thinner that I like, but not a deal breaker. The flavour is fantastic. For a decaf it packs a good punch and not too bitter or acidic. Definitely on the more expensive side at $6, but given the quality I could almost let that go. Almost. There are only a couple of tables you would consider bringing a pram to. It's not ridiculously cramped, but would be awkward with a pram further in. The atm...
