Enter Neighbour is a humble looking cosy local cafe tucked in the heart of Hartwell and close to the hustle & bustle Burke Road, Camberwell.The cafe is easily reachable if you want to come either using public transport or private vehicle; it's just a door step away to catch public transport (route 75 tram) and plenty of on the street car parks available.We're glad to be invited by Jack (owner) to have the food experience.Worth to mention that Enter Neighbour supports and heavily involved in local community Foodbank Victoria helping to provide meals for 1 in 7 Victorianswho cannot afford food, more than quarter of whom are children.They also donate 30c per coffee for those who use a keep cup or similar re-usable cup to Foodbank Victoria to help them support Victorians who are food insecure.It's absolutely a good gesture and respectful activity showing by this local cafe; The owner has a big heart for the local community.The cafe has indoor and outdoor (the courtyard) sections, you can also opt for the more intimate and quiet section for the indoor (middle) seating. We opted for the front indoor seating.On Saturday, they also have a live music started around 5.30 PM (Saturday: 8am â 3pm, 5:30pm â 11pm). So you could still come and enjoy their food bit longer on Saturday.As we approached the cafe, we're welcomed by the friendly floor staff.The customer service was nice and friendly serving with lots of smiles which would make your day better :)The vibe and atmosphere were cosy and comfortable. We started off our food experience by having cappuccino and beetroot latte.Enter Neighbour chooses Axil Coffee Roasters and you know how the good coffee and reputation of this coffee bean!In fact, as expected that the taste of cappuccino was fantastic! It was served warm and the taste was balance!Beetroot Latte was surprisingly really nice, it had good fragrance and hint of turmeric.This beetroot latte was one of the best, we've ever tried! We ordered:- Truffle Mushrooms*Glazed Button Mushrooms + Spinach + House-Made Ricotta and Truffle oil, served with Poached Egg on Toast.Truffle Mushrooms had nice presentation with generous serving of Button Mushrooms.The poached egg was perfectly cooked!The Spinach was well cooked and seasoned; The nice fresh green colour surely increased your appetite.Every single component was perfectly executed; It's a simple dish, yet served nicely by the Enter Neighbour's team.From our point of view, it would be better to have more truffle oil in the this dish as we hardly smell the truffle oil.- Nanban Chicken*Forbidden Black Rice + Gribiche Dressing + Pea's + Pickled Cabbage + Japanese Chicken topped with Crispy Shallots + Fresh Chilli + Coriander.The Nanban Chicken was nicely presented, it had great textures.The chicken was well cooked, it was soft and tender. It's a lovely Asian Fusion dish delivered!The overall taste was very rich. The aioli dipping helped us to tone down the strong taste from the marinated chicken itself.- Scotch Pancake*Neighbour's Secret Coffee Marcarpone with Caramelised Banana + Fresh Strawberries, topped with Chocolate Sauce and Coffee Soil.There's always a space for a dessert, no exception. We're finishing off our foodie journey with the Scotch Pancake.The dish was generously served with the simple and clean presentation.Though the Pancakes were slightly thick, they were fluffy and perfectly cooked inside-out.The pancakes weren't too sweet to balance out the natural sweetness coming from the fresh fruits.Fresh sliced strawberries and partial caramelised banana served on the side;The caramelised banana was absolutely fantastic, it had the right crisp and sweetness.The marcarpone coffee gave you a hint and nice coffee flavour to enrich the overall taste of the dish.Loved this Scotch Pancake and it's definitely recommended!Overall, we had a great time to meet the Enter Neighbour's team, owner (Jack) and had great food.Note: Weâd like to say thank you to Enter Neighbourâs team for having us.Disclaimer: Honest opinions expressed here are purely on our own and are based on our experience at that timeTaste: 4.0Service: 4.5Speed: 4.5Yay: Beetroot Latte, Cappuccino, Truffle Mushrooms, Scotch PancakeNay: N/A

We are frequent visitors ....always been a great place, great ambiance, food and staff. However tonight, we waited ages for food, they got the order wrong then we waited 30 minutes for the dessert order to be taken.Really missed our friendly Greek waiter, Alex.

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Staff were great and service was fast however we were surrounded by nice with screaming babies which did not add to the ambience. The breakfast selection is limited . I had the beef brisket with scrambled eggs plus bacon on the side . The toast was soggy so inedible and the eggs were bland. Would I order it again or come back for breakfast? Maybe if everything else was closed.

We've been patronising Golden Child ever since it opened and have enjoyed it immensely until today.Arrived at 10.30 approx.....Very quiet. Sat outside, no other patrons there. Waited, waited, no sign of service. I went inside and took a bottle of water and two glasses and although staff saw me, no one batted an eyelid. After about 10 minutes a young lady appeared and enquired whether we wanted coffee. No, we replied, we wanted breakfast. We eventually got our breakfast, but what a disappointment ! The poached eggs were like hard boiled ! However, there was a goodly amount of smoked salmon, but Golden Child once was famous for its poached eggs; one of the reasons we keep going back. May be there has been a change of chef , who knows. Fortunately, the first young lady with the unpleasant manner didn't come near us again being replaced by a charming young lady. We'll probably go back again to see if this was a once off , but I do hope it goes back to its once high standard.

Contrary to what I read about the new management, it is still very good. I had my usual cappuccino and my croissant and I liked it.

A welcoming place. There are tables outside and a range of seating inside. Plenty of newspapers available. There is a good range of dishes available throughout the day, you're sure to find something you like. The coffee is excellent and my wife loves the Chai tea, leaves not powder of course. Staff are friendly and efficient, it can get busy but you'll always get looked after.

We decided to try this coffee shop near our daughters school as it does always look busy. Maybe we hit a bad day but they got our order all wrong - how do you muck up two coffees? We didn't know who's was who's and as they didn't write it on the cups they didn't know either. We like our coffee extra hot and they were luke warm. So annoyed as we waited a while and we ended up throwing them in a bit. Waste of money.Hi Vanessa, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, but are so sorry to hear about your experience with us. We passed along your feedback to management and after some discussion, we don't seem to recall any major delays over the past few days so we'd really like to know more about your visit so that we can look into this further, as service is our top priority. Would you mind letting us know the approx. time & date you visited? It will really help us understand more about what happened here. Thank you Vanessa!

Iâve visited twice so iâm basing it on both visits. I found the food very bland. My chorizo omelette was over cooked and lacking flavour and had bits of burnt kale stacked on top. Not great. I was surprised as itâs rated quite well. Perhaps just an off day or pressure in the kitchen as they were quite busy.

Went to Sketches based on a recommendation from the hotel and was had a very pleasant meal.The service was warm and welcoming. The Crispy Skin Salmon perfectly cooked and accompanied by some lovely broth, Sina noodles and radishes. My colleague had the lamb shank special and kept raving on about it.Great desserts as well - look forward to coming back on my next trip.
