Mama Bear

Mama Bear is in Flemington near a tram stop and a stone's throw away from Flemington Racecourse. This morning there was a power fault at Flemington Racecourse which brought my tram to a halt and several others rushed to get the train. It was a long wait for the next one.

Hence this is why I decided to visit the cafe. I have read that other bloggers really liked the cool vibe amoung other things. The atmosphere inside was homely and it had that rustic feel in a working class suburb.

Here they use locally source produce meaning that your food is always good. But they don't have filtered coffee though. Rather they do single origin long blacks and after reading in the paper that sugar and milk in coffees is not good for you, I decided to skip both.

And skip both I did because the coffee turned out to be really good. It was nutty and a bit chocolatey in flavour, making it pure gold.

My usual of scrambled eggs turned out to be quite good too. The plate was huge for $9.  They were creamy but some chives would have been nice. And I added in the apple cider sauce for an extra $3.50 as it was interesting and I really wanted to try it. It was quite eggy and there were subtle hints of apple cider. The parsley and herbs added a nice touch to the meal.

Rating: 17/20- do visit the cafe whilst waiting for the tram. You can get takeaway coffees too.
