Grafete

Grafete has recently re-​opened with a small renovation, new menu and new head chef/​part owner (ex The Point Restaurant Albert park lake.) There’s currently two menus’ on offer; one for breakfast/​brunch and another for burgers. I ordered the cheeseburger for $ 13. What is usually a good choice became a better one. The bun was soft and fresh, improved with toasted sesame seeds. It wasn’t dry stodgy or stale. The meat was perfectly cooked; crispy yet moist and tender inside. I’d strongly recommend the hand cut chips with fresh tomato relish.
So for 2015, Grafete has been re-​born, and looks stronger than before. Great menu to go, and hopefully will become a booming hit amongst locals. Oh and good coffee as well.

This is a cool wee café, great place to drive to for some lunch… Definately try it out… The food is very good, and the staff really down to earth…
Crackin’ café…

Grafete lives up to the name, with a graffiti style font for the name out front and spray paint adorning the walls inside. This place has popped up by the Foodworks and is definitely still getting its sea legs.
We popped in for breakfast on a weekend. I was in the mood for pancakes so I ordered the blueberry with mascarpone cheese. My guy got the big breakfast but had to do some substitutions because they didn’t have a vegie version. The food came out in a timely fashion and the service was good. In the end, the service is one of the few things this place has going for it right now.
The serving sizes either need to be adjusted or they need to lower their prices. $ 12 for 3 small pancakes… not really worth it. The pancakes themselves were good though. The coffee was alright, not the best in the neighbourhood though.
The reason for 2 stars instead of 3 is that they still have opening day kinks despite being open for weeks now. The bathroom has no paper towels or a hand dryer, and the women’s toilet was out of order. Their eft pos wasn’t working so we had to go over to Foodworks to get money, paying a fee at the ATM.
Now that there are options in the area, I doubt we’ll be back. The place looks cool and everyone was really nice, but I need more than that to head back.
