A treat for young visitors as much as anyone else, be sure to bring children along to brunch dates at Hello Birdie, found on Grubb Road in Ocean Grove. On cold days, cosy up inside and soak up a chirpy café character among pastel tones and rich aromas as children play in a colourful kids’ corner, or should weather prove sunny, head outside to a back garden offering a charming timber cubby house, miniature lemonade stand and more for children to enjoy. For a bite to eat, order a children’s serve of spaghetti Bolognese with sneaky hidden vegetables for little ones to enjoy, and dig into the likes of mixed vegetable frittata or a Birdie’s breakfast stack for yourself, with toasted sourdough topped in spinach, slow roasted Mediterranean vegetables, Meredith goat’s cheese and a runny egg.
