The Social Roasting Cafe
307 Racecourse Road, Flemington
Get yourself to the Social Roasting Cafe, not only do they make a great breakfast they also do great things for the community. Social Roasting is a not profit business which tries where possible to employee refugees from Asia and Africa and at only 18 months old the place is absolutely hectic.
The stream of people coming through the door to get takeaway coffee can only mean that the coffee they roast and sell is something special and Mildura Man agreed. Social Roasting is cosy and the wooden tables and wood panelled bar give it a touch of colonial Africa feel.
Social Roasting has a great menu which uses unusual ingredients; kasoundi, rosewater, cardamom poached rhubarb and beetroot relish. There are however no sweet choices but the big range of eggs should provide something for everyone.
Mildura Man had poached eggs with kasoundi and avocado on toast with bacon and feta. They were delicious with the feta providing a nice touch. However the kasoundi (Indian spice relish) was “like a festival of flavour” and went particularly well with the avocado.
I wanted something simple and went down the route of scrambled eggs with avocado and feta which was delicious – I am often surprised by how easy it is to get wrong.
And, do we want to stay for breakfast? Definitely, to have a great breakfast and support a great business
