Gertrude & Mabel

It’s good. Fresh juice, iced tea, the amazing definitely home made cakes and cookies. The menu is interesting and tempting and not overloaded with trendy words. Service with a smile. A sunny spacious room filled with what we jokingly say must have been raided from Gran’s house. Savory or sweet, everything is delicious. Roadside parking and a few small tables outside as well.

An adorable little café, Gertrude and Mabel radiates a European charm, as well as a welcoming & cosy ambience through it’s polished timber floors, repainted furniture, vintage china, ornamental chandeliers, & embroidered cloth napkins. All of this adds to the original character of historic building & makes one feel such at home. Open daily for breakfast & lunch, Gertrude and Mabel’s menu is simple, short, but beautiful & inspired by the owner’s Greek heritage. Gertrude and Mabel make everything they offer, its all about home made, sourcing fresh local ingredients & products, including honey from Grandad’s beehives & herbs from his garden.
The menu is a perfect example doing a few things & doing them brilliantly. Today we caught up with a friend, & ordered:
(1) The breakfast board with Loukaniko (pork sausage), 8 minute egg, fasolatha (beans), avocado, blistered tomato & home made hollandaise. ($ 19)
(2) Loukaniko (Pork Sausage), smashed peas, goats cheese on Ciabatta with Lemon Mayo & 8 minute egg. ($ 16)
Both dishes were incredible, & cooked perfectly. They were both so fresh & had alot of flavour. The coffee & in house treats are absolutely delicious! The Coffee was nice, smooth & not bitter. This is definitely a place you must visit! You will love the laid back atmosphere, great service, & you will feel as though you are visiting a good friend’s house.
