Cafe on Bennetts

Café on Bennetts is a quaint café with secret tropical garden found on the corner of Bennetts Road and Frank Street in Norman Park.

Customers can enjoy a well-brewed cup of Segafredo coffee, breakfast or lunch inside a modern dining room or al fresco in the lovely dog-friendly garden; while another option is to relax on the footpath provided with colourful adirondack chairs.

The all day menu features wholesome breakfast fare like acai bowls and the café’s signature dragon bowl with pink dragon fruit, banana, lychee, seasonal fruit, crunchy granola and coconut yoghurt. Otherwise, there’s a brekkie baguette with grilled sausage, bacon, fried egg and spinach, and Bennetts’ benedict - 2 poached eggs, ham and house made hollandaise sauce.

Popular lunch options are banh mi filled with your choice of roasted duck, barbecued pork or grilled chicken, beef burgers and steak sandwiches topped with bacon, egg, cheese and salad.  The menu also includes seasonal dishes such as grilled salmon served with salad and miso dressing, and watermelon salad with mixed leaves, refreshing watermelon, feta and roasted pumpkin seeds.

Drink wise, there’s coffee, tea, chai latte, coconut water, kombucha, milkshakes and smoothies such as Tropical Bliss, Banana Power and Green Goodness.

Nice to know - Kids can nosh on nuggets and chips or fish and chips; while four-legged family members can enjoy a puppyccino or doggie ice-cream.
