The Drinking Glass Den

October 18, 2015


The Glass Den is a roomy Coburg cafe ready inside the D-division gatehouse of the now-decommissioned Pentridge Prison. In the past times calendar month they've truly ramped upwards their vegan card options, as well as then nosotros skulked inwards for a belatedly breakfast on sun morning.

Though it's a meat-and-all menu, it's clear they know their stuff. There are dairy as well as 3 non-dairy mylk options on the outset page (plus a vegan java frappe hidden farther back!), as well as vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free symbols scattered everywhere. They're most to live on expected, perhaps, on the chia pudding as well as smashed avo dishes, but kokosnoot mousse, kokosnoot bacon as well as mushroom substitutions hateful that plates similar the big breakfast as well as the calamari salad are also on the veg*n table. You've truly gotta hunt for the eggs as well as bacon (they are there). It all made for some tough  decision-making.


Michael needed a influenza fighter juice (carrot, ginger as well as orange; $7) to combat his sniffles.


With that done he demanded a minute big food boost from the Shrooms & Kale ($15.50), a plate of multi-grain sourdough toast, sauteed kale as well as garlic mushrooms, pino nuts as well as kokosnoot bacon. The kokosnoot bacon lacked coloring but the dish was well-seasoned. Unfortunately the thick, crusty toast as well as lack of sauciness rendered this a niggling dry.


I took a jeopardy on the kokosnoot hotcakes ($16.90). They're vegan as well as gluten-free past times default as well as read a niggling overwrought - "gluten costless hotcakes, grilled banana, berry foam, maple syrup, candied almonds as well as coconut". Actually they seem to live on i of the cafe's most pop dishes, as well as I saw several pretty plates delivered to the tables or as well as then me earlier I got my paws on this one.

My suspicions were unfounded - these were first-class hotcakes, alongside the texture of a flourless almond cake. The fruity trimmings were really generous as well as complementary. I can't mean value of many (any?) amend gleegan breakfasts or as well as then Melbourne.


With a belly amount of hotcakes, I barely glanced at the sweetness treats past times the till. But hither they are! They looked nice, as well as some of 'em were labelled vegan too.

Service was welcoming but a niggling slow, as well as it won't deter us from visiting again. This is a card nosotros desire to encounter to a greater extent than of.

Accessibility: There's a apartment entry as well as clear corridors throughout the cafe, but the tables as well as chairs are densely arranged. We ordered at our tabular array as well as paid at a depression counter. We didn't catch the toilets.
