Second Home 21 Brougham Street, Eltham, Victoria 3095

"The interior is a lovely light filled space with high ceilings. Staff friendly and great service. Also a serene outdoor space with heating, great for the frosty day we went! Decent amount of items on the menu, with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. Coffee is great! Standard prices- my breakfast salad was a good size and was $22. Carpooling recommended, we went on a random Monday morning and the small carpark was full! No side street parking as it is a busy thoroughfare."

"Had a nice brunch here in a homely atmosphere. Breakfast Super Salad had a great variety of greens and proteins and tasty. Tarte Tartin was nice too and the feta, rocket, crunchy root chips combo was excellent. The pastry of the tarte was soft and could have been crispier. Place boasts high ceiling and several different seating areas including couches with a fireplace. Where we sat was a little bit dark as the place relies heavily on natural lighting and it was a gloomy day. Plan ahead as nearby parking can be hard to find. Overall lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, fresh food. Will be back! What a gem in Eltham!"

"Second Home in Eltham is nice and cozy cafe with combination of dining and lounge seating... loved the ambience and the service. Cafe has its own parking which can be a bit tricky to get in and out of if your driving a big car and was full when on a Saturday morning. We ordered 'Our Benedict, the dutch hot chocolate and a dish with beans and bread on the side. Food was tasty with good portions. Highlight was the dutch hot chocolate which was enough for two of us... the benedict was also yum however the beans were a little underwhelming with too much gravy and spices with not enough beans on the dish. Overall, was a good experience, so we might give it another go."

"It really does feel like a home inside this cafe. Beautiful decor, high ceilings, friendly staff, little nick backs to purchase. The menu has great variety and all the meals were very fresh and generous in size. Absolutely loved my open cheese toastie and I opted to add ham and poached eggs. The spicy relish was such a good add on, it really tied the dish together. The chai latte was beautiful presented, I loved the mug they used. I’d love to come back with my dog and use their lovely outdoor area and get something off their dog menu!"

"Great trendy Cafe for brunch and social gathering. Great ambience and super friendly and attentive staff. Food is great and tasty. Been back a few times and never disappointed."
