Each Peach

 

506 Lygon St, Brunswick

I really enjoyed my experience at Each Peach. It’s probably been one of the nicest places I’ve been to breakfast and I think the secret is the lovely staff and because even though it’s been around for 2 years it felt undiscovered. There were only a few people around and we didn’t feel cramped, rushed or have to wait 45 minutes or a meal. I have a theory that its location at the end of Lygon St out of the way of traffic and other shops makes people forget it’s there. Which is a shame because Each Peach was a great breakfast experience.

Set up with 60s Australian Childhood Chic there are gumleaves hanging against the window, a giant Australian themed quilt covering a wall and a case of collector edition spoons. The spacious upstairs also features a couch with a crocheted rug.  

Finally, for those with kids, there is a back room filled with old school kids toys including a doll house and knitted dolls. There is even wallpaper displaying a variety of colourful fruits, a touch reminiscent of Willy Wonka’s lickable wallpaper. However, a warning to you all, if you choose to sit in the back room like Egyptologist and I you may be asked to look after people’s children whilst they go to the bathroom. No jokes, there were 2 of them and they liked to scream.

Each Peach makes all its own food on site and you can buy a variety of organic, preservative free jams, breads, tarts and biscuits. The menu also contains a range of Vegan options. In keeping with the natural, environmentally friendly ethos you should know that the milk used in unhomogenised, so don’t be frightened when it comes out with lumpy bits in it.

As for breakfast I had the parmesan scrambled eggs with avocado on toast. They were perfection and the best eggs I’ve had in ages. The great thing about the bread was that it wasn’t overcooked. Often preservative free bread is overcooked and this leads to hard crusts and difficult eating. Not at Each Peach it was soft, yummy and the eggs were perfect.

Egyptologist had the organic oats and walnut seasonal fruit crumble with deliciously thick yoghurt. It was a little fiddly to eat out of the tray. but it was yummy and the yoghurt delicious, which is good otherwise they would have been telling a lie in their menu. She also noted that it was more of a snack and wouldn’t recommend it if you were really hungry. I also thought it looked like a perfect afternoon tea option.

The only drawback with Each Peach is that even though it was quiet and there were a few staff about it took a long time for tables to get cleared and the table we sat at was sticky because it wasn’t wiped down after they picked up the plates. When you add this to the fact that you order at the counter and the same person making coffees is also trying to take your order it just leaves them lacking in the service department. If they could fix up this little niggle it might just be the perfect place to breakfast.

And, do we want to stay for breakfast? To immerse myself in 60s Australian Childhood Chic and play with the doll house (when no one was watching)
