Situated just across the street from the Sun Theatre, Cornershop in Yarraville is something of an institution in the west. Lively staff, vintage tables and a pastel green counter with a wooden top greet you when you walk in, and a menu filled with mouthwatering standouts like the zesty coconut dahl with poached eggs ($16.50) and the moreish bacon and egg butty with HP sauce ($15) makes it difficult to choose what to eat.
Local roasters Profile provides the coffee, which is served with milk from Fitzroy's Saint David Dairy (or alternatives from Bonsoy and Milklab). It tastes just that little bit better when sipped on a sunny day in the Cornershop courtyard.
