After winning a $50 voucher from Instagram's @foodie_or_fatty, I was all geared up to try out Two Young Boys, a new cafe (behind Savers), in Greensborough.
It was very quiet when we arrived, but it was nice to not feel rushed to finish our meal so that new customers could steal our table (so often the case in the cafe scene now). The decor was simple, modern & fresh.
The menu has a middle eastern feel, with a lot of non-traditional breakfast and lunch items available. We ordered two coffees to start, which tasted great. I was all geared up to order the corn fritters that I'd seen on Instragram, but alas, they were the previous week's special menu item. The special for this week was a smashed pea/avo dish served with hash browns and poached eggs, but I don't like peas. Damn!
I ordered the "Bombay Potatoes" ($13) which was delicious and very reasonably priced. A bed of roast potatoes and cherry tomatoes topped with crunchy onion strings and a fried egg. I also ordered a size of bacon. This dish had some beautiful flavours and it was nice to have a dish without bread.
My friend ordered the stunning "Sweet Potato Cake" ($15) with sweet potato, lentil & quinoa fritters, green tahini, poached egg & sweet potato crisps. The serving was huge and the potato twists on top had people at the next table asking us what we'd ordered - a very photogenic dish.
All in all, a very positive experience and some delicious food from a brand new cafe. The staff were super friendly, the coffee tasted great and the dishes are very photo friendly. The only downside is having to look at dumpsters and a car park while eating haha.
