WHAT WE ATE...
I was looking for a light lunch so I picked the ‘Vegetable Pastie ($7.50)’ from the glass display cabinet. If I was wanting something bigger, I definitely would have ordered the Sweet Potato Burger as the one on the next table looked fabulous! Anyway, my pastie was really delicious with excellent pastry and a spicy, quality filling.




My dining companion chose the ‘Wagyu Beef Burger with short cut bacon, caramelised onion, house pickles, melted cheese, beetroot relish and beer battered chips ($20.50)’. The beetroot relish was a wonderful addition to the burger and overall the burger was brilliant. The chips with the aioli were also tasty…


WHAT WE DRANK…
Our lattes ($3.80) made with Toby’s Estate Coffee were delightful.


OVERALL…
We had just been to The Makers and Shakers Market at the Coburg Town Hall and were looking for a cafĂ© around Pentridge. The first cafĂ© looked very busy so we kept walking to The Boot Factory, which is part of the Pentridge Prison redevelopment. The cafĂ© is actually located in the old building where prisoners used to make footwear, hence the name… I loved the interior with exposed brick walls and vintage pieces which expanded on the historic theme. A great cafe to try when you are in the area!
