MELBOURNE | Little Sister Keilor East is a popular cafe from the people behind Essendon’s Hey Jude and Brunswick’s Flourmill. The proposition here is simple – an all day breakfast and lunch menu focusing on Melbourne favourites. The interior is narrow and full of natural sunlight and leads to a covered courtyard to enjoy on warmer days. The City Lane was recently invited to visit Little Sister Cafe and we were interested to get out to a part of town that we don’t usually frequent to see how things compared to the more well known inner city hot spots.
Service is friendly and attentive, with the cheerful staff giving off that “we actually really enjoy working here” vibe. Coffee hits the spot, with the house blend a flavoursome one by boutique roaster Where’s Macerel. For those with a big appetite, the generously portioned Jim Dandy Hot Plate is a great option – fried, poached or scrambled eggs with house made beans, thyme mushrooms, slow-roasted truss tomato, potato rosti, & grilled halloumi on artisan bread. The only criticim that we had when we visited was that the potato rosti were a bit dry. Apart from that though, all of these favourites were cooked just right. If it’s something lighter you’re after, the Breaky Salad featuring soft poached eggs, smoked salmon, avocado, Danish feta & rocket salad with artisan bread really hits the spot.
We didn’t try lunch when we visited but there was a lot on the lunch menu that looked enticing. Mexican chicken burger with corn salsa, avocado, mango-lime aioli & fat chips with lemon pepper seasoning anyone?
Little Sister gets all of the basics right and doesn’t pretend to be anything its not. It’s easy to see why this cheerful, unpretentious spot is popular with locals.
