Einstein's 251

Caulfield's bohemian local. shakshuka, pitas and steak sandwiches with genuinely friendly staff.

Cosy and unpretentious with a bohemian edge. The indoor space is small and can feel snug, but a secluded courtyard out the back adds breathing room. Papers on the table, buzzy when packed, and genuinely warm staff who have made it a neighbourhood institution over many years.

Loose-leaf chai latte; fresh-pressed juices; pocket pita served with house salad; owner personally invested in coffee quality; newspapers available for solo diners; house-made meat pie; curry available to pre-order a day ahead.

Eclectic menu with notable Middle Eastern influences. shakshuka, falafel pitas and pocket pita reflect the multicultural character of Caulfield North.

Reasonably priced for a local café; a minority of reviewers note portions could be more generous, but most consider the value fair for the food quality and service warmth on offer.
