Brother's Keeper - Kurunjang

Probably my favourite cafe in Melbourne (and I visit 3-5 cafes a week). Stunning and delicious food, friendliest staff and gorgeous interior. Plus a courtyard!! What more could you want?<br/ <br/ Always impressed with everything from the coffee, to the smoothies and the mains. Definitely worth coming to check it out!

Brothers Keeper is located on Glenferrie Road in Kooyong. On entering, I was in love with the interior. The colour scheme of blues pinks was stunning with cheerful wall art in the main dining area. Out the back is a gorgeous light filled courtyard, covered over heating for winter it would also be a perfect outdoor dining area in summer. Lots of colour, wall art, comfy seating cushions as well as pet friendly. <br/ <br/ We started with coffees ordered a few dishes to share. The menu had a fantastic selection of dishes as well as lovely fresh smoothies juices as well. <br/ <br/ The squash on toast was a favourite, mapled pumpkin, spiced walnut pesto, feta, beetroot hummus, dukkah and sweet potato chips on multigrain toast. It was a generous serving and the flavours were divine, the sweet pumpkin contrasted beautifully with the salty, creamy feta the sweet potato chips on top added a nice crunch. <br/ <br/ The zucchini pea fritters were served with avocado purée, pickled zucchini, smoked pork belly, peas poached eggs. The pork belly was delicious while I enjoyed the dish I did find it a little bit dry, perhaps the addition of a yoghurt sauce would have added the creamy element I felt it was missing. <br/ <br/ The Reece’s Pannacotta was insanely good. The presentation was flawless the addition of chocolate granola, strawberries peanut butter bites was perfect. One of the best pannacottas I’ve ever eaten. <br/ <br/ We washed it all down with a smoothie a fresh juice, both delicious refreshing. The service was also impressive, fast friendly we loved our visit. Thanks so much for having us.

Brothers Keeper is a cute cafe conveniently located close to Kooyong station.<br/ <br/ Visiting for Sunday breakfast we opted to sit in the courtyard out back. We ordered the ricotta Hotcake and the zatar cauliflower tempura with an added poached egg to eat along with coffees, a chai latte and a golden latte to drink.<br/ <br/ Everything came out beautifully presented. I loved the zatar cauliflower tempura. The cauliflower was nice and crispy and worked beautifully with quinoa salad, I especially loved the burst of flavour from the pomegranate. I recommend adding the poached egg, it nicely complements the rest of bowl and adds a bit of creaminess to the dish.<br/ <br/ My friend highly enjoyed the ricotta Hotcake. Topped with plenty of berries and creme fraiche and accompanied with strawberry coulis and a side of maple syrup this is one very pretty dish. The Hotcake was light and fluffy and makes for the perfect sweet treat.<br/ <br/ Overall I had a wonderful experience at Brothers Keeper. The food and coffee was top notch and the service was excellent. I rate Brothers Keeper out of 5 and highly recommend checking them out. Thanks very much for having me.

I was mightily impressed. This one is a keeper! My scrambled egg was perfect and the coffee was top quality

My Brothers Keeper – super cute café in Toorak, bright, light, lovely staff, fab courtyard out the back and a menu that seemed familiar but was also full of fantastic new dishes to enjoy. Zucchini and corn fritters with corn puree, avocado, tomato, charred corn salsa, tomato kasundi and poached eggs – I am a sucker for fritters, I have had the good, the bad and the ugly and these were some of the best yet.  The friends of the fritters on the dish were also perfection! The actual fritters where those big gnarly golf ball sized ones, cooked deep golden brown and inside packed with a good level of denseness vs veggies.  The corn puree was epic – would buy that in a jar tomorrow. And the charred corn salsa was beautiful, fresh and vibrant flavours, mixed with the avocado it was that kind of dish you just wanted to keep going back for more.  And how were the eggs?
