I was invited to visit Focus Melbourne in Balwyn this week and was delighted to visit with a friend for a brunch date mid-week – ah, the delights of being a teacher on school holidays ☺ We ordered two coffees and two of the sweeter dishes to try and were blown away by how beautiful the presentation was!
I ordered the hot cakes with matcha ice cream, popcorn and fresh berries. It was the perfect size and was able to finish the whole thing – which is a rarity when ordering hot cakes in Melbourne. The flavours were perfect and I loved being able to finish the dish.
My friend ordered the acai bowl with granola, fresh fruit and plain yoghurt. The acai came served in three perfect scoops that were smooth and round. The presentation was 100% on point. The flavours were also delicious – the acai had a bit of a vanilla after taste, which I much preferred to the bitter, citrus taste that most acai has these days.
The table next to us ordered the salmon poke bowl and it looked outstanding! I will definitely need to come back and suss that dish out. The service at Focus is outstanding and the owners, Ken & Karen are so lovely. They are super attentive and make sure that you enjoy your visit. Thanks for having us, team ☺
