Was craving açai bowls and I ordered some on UberEats. I was scared as cold things are obviously not super delivery friendly but the bowls arrived perfectly icy with a cute little greeting. Compared to other açai options on Uber, it was pretty reasonably priced and generously portioned and had a nice variety of toppings.

Health fix brekky @grouse__ A positive option in healthy choices for an active person on the go or someone who is trying to add a bit of conscious food choices. They serve up a selection of the best tasting fresh juices and smoothies in a fun environment that will leave you wanting more. Nutritionally dense, their range of Toasties and healthy bowls are packed full of key nutrients to help you on your way every day. My mosttt favourite and one of the best toastie fillings I have tried is their Jackfruit toastie, trust me on this one, not everyone can use Jackfruit so well. It blends well with all the other ingredients used and gives you a burst of flavours as you take a first bite. So so good!! If you’re around Carnegie, this place is a must go!!

This cafe consistently serves the best coffee in Melbourne. I come here a few times a week, and not only are the team lovely, but I haven't once been able to fault their coffee. Never bitter, burnt, and the perfect temperature. Very grateful that this is my local cafe.

This new cafe in Carnegie is perfect for those wanting a delicious and healthy snack, meal or smoothie! I can’t recommend it highly enough. The friendly staff and homely vibe in the cafe really added to the experience and I will definitely be returning soon! The Nut Case and Golden Bliss smoothies were absolutely delicious and very filling. The perfect addition to any meal or if you want something easy to take away. The Blue Signature Ocean Bowl was really something else. Very eye catching with the blue colour and so yummy I could get another! The add ons added to the texture of the dish perfectly. The brekkie board was very good and included everything you need for a varied and delicious breakfast. Some feta would have really been a nice addition to the avo toast however it was still a good dish.

carnegie smoothie bowls & superfood : @grouse__ : Near Carnegie Train Station : Known as Carnegie’s first health bar, Grouse offers a selection of smoothies, juices, raw treats and sangas every morning till afternoon. Been visiting here since 2 years back when I was still going to my super early internship in Pakenham, they were one of the only few places opening from 6AM something in the morning . : Portions here are super generous. This is one of the only places that serves me such a generous portion of acai that actually keeps me full for at least a few hours. Recommend the crowd pleaser with all those nuts and peanut butter, indulgent and delicious!!!
