Since we became vegan my partner and I always wanted to visit the Matcha Mylk Bar in St.Kilda. So we've read many articles and reviews about their great food and coffee, especially cause everything is VEGAN. No more checking ingredients and asking annoying questions from...the waitstaff.... it's all there and it's all vegan. It brings another issue that is a bit more satisfying to handle. THE CHOICE! Cause now you can have anything from the menu so you want to try everything!
We tried to sail our boat through the thickest part so we can taste as much as possible. Big Breakfast with v/bacon, runny boiled v/egg ... yummmm!!!! also Smashed Pumpkin with grilled vegalumi (haloumi :) ) and zucchini fritters ... Both of them are FANTASTIC!!! Just couldn't eat enough of it... not because of the portion size. That's very generous. It was just sooooo tasty that none of us wanted to put an end to our morning feast.
The v/egg and v/bacon are truly the creations of an artist! Beautiful runny egg yolk and the textures just leave the confused gesture on your face for awhile. The Smashed pumpkin mixed in with hazelnuts gives a sweet, nutty, crunchy experience to your breaki for sure... what a great idea. Loved it so much... that accidentally ... shame on me ... I have finished my partner's dish as well and she barely had proper taste of it. (You need to eat prison style, cause otherwise food's gonna get stolen from ya plate, mate.)
We also love our coffee and the MM's selection of special hot beverages is very broad. Tumeric latte is past tense (not off the menu, but ) .... almond butter cacao, spiced beetroot, apple pie, .... and so on... you need a week to give a proper trial to all of'em. Unfortunately we didn't have that time. Not a problem, they have a little tasting plate for the different blends, called the Flight! Definitely go for it if you have a chance.
Our four little shots: Blue Algae Latte, Charcoal Latte, Mushroom and Date Latte and Purple Peanut Butter Latte ... :) FANTASTIC!!! We wished to have more time to try more of them. All of them! The presentation is beautiful and colourful. The flavours are ... WOW ... you would never imagine your morning coffee like this. This lifts the coffee culture game to a brand new level. (I still can't get my mind of the Apple Pie coffee... ) ... although just a suggestion: keep your coffee separated from this tasting platter ... it can alter the taste in a not necessarily positive way.
The staff is very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Absolutely great atmosphere. Definitely wanna go back to try all the other items on the menu! :)
Thanks Matcha Mylk Bar!!! :)More
