Each Peach
506 Lygon St
Brunswick East
Ph (03) 9383 4529

This is a pretty cafe, located at the top end of Lygon street in Brunswick East. Each Peach is a relatively new addition to this stretch of Lygon street which has become a thriving cafe zone. Though it can get busy here, I’ve come today at the sneaky time of 2:45 PM on a Tuesday whilst most people are working! Hence I can stretch out at the long pinewood table nearest the front window, read Kierkegaard’s diary and gaze out into the street.

There is a pleasant, warm and vibrant vibe here, in part due to the homely nature of the design and décor as well as the cheerful manner of the two ladies who run it. Natural light fills the front room, thanks to the large open window frontage. The ceiling is white and metal pressed, newly painted. The walls are painted white upper and, as a hasty search of the net reveals to me, a yellow chiffon lower. As well as the shared pinewood table there are two smaller tables in the front room, and in the street are a couple of laid back wicker seats with a small table. More seating is available out the back, whence from soft light glows.

Some randomly noted items from the blackboard menu: organic fairtrade espresso $2.50; milk coffees $3; organic sausage roll $6; waffles served with mocha ice-cream or banana, maple syrup and vanilla ice-cream $8; scrambled eggs with parmesan and asparagus $9.

Today I’ve just come for a long black and strawberry friand. The coffee comes in an old fashioned pale yellow cup, is hot, and has a fair crema. The friand is light and fresh. I look forward to a breakfast here one morning as the menu options look creative and I have a sense that meals here would be very good, (something I might mention here at a later stage). A lovely place.
