How we read reviews →Box Hill cafe famous for a truffle mushroom pasta locals ask for even off the menu.
Tucked away from the main road, quiet and cosy despite being close to Box Hill station and hospital. a compact space with small tables that can run warm from the aircon, plus dog-friendly outdoor seating.
An off-menu truffle mushroom pasta made on request, a $49 weekend brunch set for two, a European hot chocolate menu with unique flavours (orange, mint, chilli), and staff known for remembering regulars by name.
Not tied to a single heritage cuisine. the menu draws on varied influences (a Lao Gan Ma-style chilli twist, Moroccan chicken salad, European hot chocolate) rather than one lineage.
Split opinion. the $49 weekend brunch set for two is called great value, but standalone coffee and food are repeatedly flagged as pricier than average, with weekend surcharges up to 15%.
