When on the hunt for all day breakfast fare with some serious coffee, head East on the Burwood Highway for Ferntree Gully, where Chosen Bean Café and Roastery will be waiting on Ferntree Gully Road. Surrounded by exposed brick, matched with wooden furniture in tones of cherry and walnut, early birds and commuters followed by a hungry lunch crowd queue for house roasted beans transformed into fresh coffee, or pluck from an all-day menu loaded with paleo, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Artfully scattered on the plate with flair, Yarra Valley produce and more of the region’s best is heroed in options like Middle Eastern poached eggs with seeds, grains, nuts, dukkah and beetroot relish, or on the sweet side, raspberry, ricotta and chia pancakes with maple cream and pistachios.
