Little By Little Cafe, Berwick

FAIRY

I found a gorgeous new Cafe in Berwick today thanks to a tip off on Instagram. Open for two weeks now, Little by Little Cafe, Berwick is owned and run by two locals.

Unique to Berwick, Little By Little is a stand alone Cafe in a gorgeous little building that has had quite the spiffy make over prior to opening. You will find it at 2-10 Reserve St, Berwick.

Their menu looks beautiful and my afternoon tea was delicious. Banana Bread, Coffee and brunch Little by Little Cafe Berwickfresh out of the oven. The staff were lovely too and there was a great energy to the place.

  • Friendly staff
  • Great coffee
  • Sweet location

My favourite thing though? They are serving 5 Senses Coffee, and it was perfect.  🙂

So stop in and let me know what you think.

Welcome to Berwick, Little By Little.

Top 5 things to do in Berwick and beyond this weekend.

stag-768568_640 The weekend is nearly here.

So we have manned the phones, checked the town square noticeboard and scanned the Parish Newsletter. The votes are in for our Friday Favourites and top tips for the weekend. Berwick Market

1. Market. Visit a market. This weekend we have the Farmers Market @ The Old Cheese Factory in Berwick (Saturday) and also the Belgrave Big Dreamers Market in Belgrave on Sunday. The playground at the Cheese Factory has had a much anticipated make over so take the kids and check it out. Belgrave Big Dreamers Market is always dreamy, hills-y and good.

2. Out of town. I am still smiling from my visit to Impodimo Cafe in Garfield. Go for brunch or lunch and stay a while.

3. Eat somewhere cosy. High tea anyone? The Piggery Cafe put on a beautiful afternoon tea and have also started Piggery Winter Nights dinner service, which I would love to try out.  Our own Primary @ Pioneer Park has great coffee, beautiful scones and lemon tarts and a great lunch menu. coffee-690422_1280

4. Read. Leanne Cole Photography has the most beautiful blog and sometime soon will have a book too, I believe. Or if homewares or decorating are more your thing check out The Design Files.

5. Make. I will be making another batch of Chocolate Cherry Ripe Balls this weekend as they were so simple, and so good. But Sandra over at The $120 Food Challenge posted an amazing recipe for Steamed Golden Syrup Steamed Pudding which looks nearly as good.

I am going to my first ever bloggers conference this weekend. Wish me good vibes. I don’t know anyone and will have to plaster on my friendly face. Pretty excited but also pretty nervous. I’m sure I am not the only one who struggles in a room full of smiling strangers, right?

Whatever your going to do, enjoy it!

Maybe you would like to take a look at some of my other reviews in beautiful Berwick? Try here for brunch, or here for cake or here for my favourite dinner.

Today is a great day for going out for coffee in Berwick. The sun is shining, there is a cool breeze blowing through the trees and like the daffodil and jonquils, locals are slowly breaking out of their winter hibernation.

I haven’t posted much lately, mainly because of the winter ills and the cold and the wearying effect of not enough Vitamin D from not enough sun. But today I am back and keen to try out Berwick newest offering, 2 Sisters Cafe & Patisserie.

So basically anything with the word patisserie in it gets me excited. TV shows, cafes, recipe books, Countries. So I was well pleased to stumble across our very own Patisserie in leafy Berwick. 2 Sisters Cafe and Patisserie, Berwick is non too shabby either. In fact, I really liked it!

The kind of Cafe that reminds you of actually visiting your own sisters house, but with less lego on the floor. Also, I think, the perfect place to sup caffeine with your very own sister, should you be so lucky to have one. I have five sisters, but I am not sharing  sorry ;-).

2 Sisters Cafe and Patisserie, Berwick

I had the chance to chat to one of the proprietors and she was sweetness itself, just like her cake and sweet offerings. She tells me they have been open for a few months and that she runs the Cafe with her sister (no surprises there) and that they have never run a Cafe before but that they are keen and excited so they just jumped right in. Gorgeous hey? And reminds me a little bit of our areas other huge success stories and my favourite, O.My Restaurant (2 brothers in that instance). http://omyrestaurant.com.au

They have snaffled themselves a nice little location in Blackburn Square with a few pavement seats in the sunshine.

The coffee was fine. Map coffee beans if you are interested. At $3.50 a cup they might just win my heart as one of the only local cafes to not have completely lost their minds about the price of a cup of hot joe.  But the real strength here is the beautiful array of cakes, slices and pastries. Yum!

2 Sisters Cafe and Patisserie, Berwick

They make them mostly onsite and themselves, with sister number two being designated chef and the passion behind the food. We partook of a slice of hedgehog ($2.50) a piece of baclava ($3.50) and a raspberry and white chocolate scone ($3.50).

It was all very good. There was an amazing looking Romanian Celebration Cake in the cake display that I loved the look of. This can be ordered for special occasions and I think I would quite like to find myself a special occasion just so I might order it. They do wraps, sandwiches, bacon & eggs and pasta dishes as well.

So pop by and say “Hi” to the sisters and shout yourself some cake and let me know what you think. It is a simple cafe, not as well dressed as La Baguette (my current fav) but very comfortable and welcoming in its own way. A great addition to Berwick’s cafe scene.

Happy Eating.

A Touch of Dutch Cafe

A touch of dutch cafe Berwick

Ok. So I have been very excited about this post.

I love a touch of Dutch Cafe in Berwick.

I know it does not sound overly loveable, but bear with me (and check out my images). Kitschy goodness in a tree lined village on the South Eastern Melbourne fringe.

So I have to admit up front that I do have Dutch heritage and seeing big glass jars full of  mouth puckering, salty Dutch licorice does make me feel all nostalgic. But I am pretty sure I would enjoy a touch of Dutch even with out the dutch blood running through my veins.

A touch of Dutch Cafe is attached to a kind of general store next door. It is full of themed tea towels, cuckoo clocks and biscuit tins with the face of the outgoing Monarch plastered on them. They also sell jewellery and frozen food and sauerkraut and an astounding number of vegetables in a jar. I love having a wander through, although I am yet to buy anything. On my last visit it was also full of wandering Dutch men with their “ich” laden conversation, smooth burnished skin, dapper trousers and well cut casual jackets.

Back in the Cafe however I found the food to be lovely and interesting and the service to be friendly but professional (my favourite combination- chat to me, but not very much).

There was a whole shelf of dutch cakes that the waitress tells me are made on site. Then there were plenty more options for your average sweet tooth fix. The caramel slice looked quite fetching I have to say. Coffee was good and they seem to show some interest in ensuring it stays that way. My understanding is that the Dutch have been drinking good, strong, fresh coffee for a long time before it became popular here in Melbourne. So while the coffee did not knock my socks off, it has so far been reliably good. Boy have I been to a lot of Cafe’s where that is not true.

We had to eat the poffertjes. Mini dutch pancakes covered in butter and icing sugar.

They are delicious. And moreish. And flluffy and buttery and maybe addictive? I have ordered them every single time.

They are also kind of fun. I’m not sure how. Maybe I am easily amused?

I really recommend you visit. Order a coffee. Maybe have cake or some sauerkraut or even the caramel slice. Then please let me know how it tastes. I don’t think I’ll ever get past ordering the poffertjes.
