East Elevation - Brunswick East, Victoria

We had such a wonderful experience with East Elevation. Everything was explained perfectly and we couldn’t speak more highly of Lorenza.
She played such a crucial role in ensuring the day ran smoothly, and comforted us when wedding stress got overwhelming.

I would give more stars if I could!

After being on a sugar-free diet for over a year, my pallet no longer accepts anything that is slightly too sweet. For hot chocolate, I only drink Mörk. However, I heard that Monsieur Truffle at East Elevation also specialises in dark hot chocolate, I decided to come and give this a red hot go.
I came here on a Friday afternoon, which was somewhat busy but not packed. The waitress that served us was cold and not friendly-looking; we did not feel like she was approachable so didn’t ask many questions.
We ordered drinks and food, and although they came promptly, my croquette wasn’t piping hot, which was a shame for such a cold and gloomy day. It was yummy but there was nothing surprisingly amazing so I don’t think I’ll return for the food.
But!!!! I have finally found another hot chocolate that I can stomach!!! The 70% dark hot chocolate was amazingly rich in flavour, and it was perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness behind the bitter cacao. I absolutely loved it and will definitely come back for more!!

As a wedding photographer - this is one of my favourite cafes to photograph at. It's the perfect spot to hold a small, intimate, authentic wedding. The food is great & the space is quintessentially Melbourne with the high ceilings & exposed brick walls.

Lovely and friendly Barista and Staff. I ordered take away Peanut Butter Mocha ... was not on the menu but James , the barista made one for me anyways. It was interesting.... I liked it but my husband was not a fan. Anyway, it was a good experiment. The cafe is in the grey concrete building with red door. Good coffee and the environment is so lovely! Good to sit down relaxing chat with friends or business meeting. Or even work place to think and get creative.

They make chocolate here, so you can imagine how good a dark chocolate mocha will be. If you're a fan of feta cheese, pic a meal that's got some and see how amazing the taste is. I'm no veegitarian but I went with the full Veggie Breakfast and it was good.

Great spacious setting in an old warehouse style building with a distinct red door entrance. Menu offers a good selection of vege dishes and some meats as well. Brunch and all day brekky on offer. Food was very tasty but both of our portions were not big enough for the price $23 for pork belly and $20 Swedish board. We were still hungry after our meal unfortunately and we are not big eaters. This is the only reason it gets 4 stars. Service was great, setting really cool with hanging pot plants etc and vibe friendly and relaxed you can even keep tied dogs at the front.

A regular favourite. Delicious, healthy food, great selection. Usually very busy and a bit of a wait, but well worth it. We've been coming back regularly for years. Most meals are consistently fabulous, recommend the mushrooms and croque monsieur. Also the big breakfast- however this rather disappointingly is getting smaller in serving size. The last visit I questioned if that was a big brekkie? Perhaps it depends on the chef. Super amazing chocolate available and a buzzing atmosphere. We'll keep coming back.

Behind the red door is a surprisingly large cafe and chocolatier. Cool exposed brick walls, high ceilings and chocolate making happening behind the glass partition. The menu is Brunswick cool with great variety and and a French influence. The service could be better however it was early and quiet. Great coffee and I look forward to coming back to try more of the menu options, especially the croque monsieur.
