Giddiup buttercup! With the sun shining and the birds singing, I could not think of anything better than a lunch date all by lonesome at the recently refurbed Tony Le Pony on Burwood Road…
Toneh Le Poneh, I just can’t say it without channelling my inner Godfather (you give it a go!) But I digress. Many of you know that I have been lovin’ this cafe that is oh so conveniently located opposite school. With many a cheeky childhood memory in the ‘hood of Hawthorn, it was totes meant to be for owners James and Dave to have their very first stable in their hometown (3122 represent!)
The new fitout is thanks to Papa Tony Le Pony’s “connections” filled with vintage treasures found in Melbourne’s fabulous op shops…
Barista extraordinaire by day James recommends Dolci Sapori to those who love a bit of creamy goodness with their coffee (like lattes and cappucinos), whilst Modena are for those who are sweet enough and have not gone back from black (like espressos and long blacks)…
A horse is a horse, of course of course…
Not about reinventing the wheel, Tony Le Pony’s menu is classic cafe food made from locally sourced seasonal produce with a bit of love <3
This one time at band camp…
Please don’t tell my lover but have totally become infatuated with their rustic shelving!
How cute is this display near the entrance? I never seem to find stuff as cool as this whenever I trek down to Savers! This horsie would have to be my fave #Bubbycanwekeephim?
So many adorable details everywhere, especially the old school timber fans and whitewashed wooden ceilings…
Check out their gorgeous back beer garden with baby orange trees! This is probably where I’ll spend most of summer when I should be doing homework…
A little birdie has told me that they have also renovated upstairs for some function fun and look what I saw along the way #Iheartflowers
Tony Le Pony sure knows how to throw a partay, with many still recovering from the launch last Friday! If you’re keen, you can have the exclusive function space for 25 of your peeps sitting down all formal, or 65 peeps for a cocktail soiree…
Apart from soy lattes that rock your socks off, they also make very delectable dishes for breakfast, morning tea, lunch, merienda and word out on the street, dinner coming soon as well! Did I mention that they do catering as well? #winning
So I’d like to present to you the Rueben sandwich of corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese & thousand island dressing on rye with pickles and beer battered fries on the side #soulfoodforreal
Was there any doubt that I would not finish off with a caramelised banana and cinnamon muffin? Promise it had nothing to do with the fact that it smelled and sounded soo intoxicating, but purely just on cinnamon‘s brain boosting benefits!
Ciao for now siopao, happy drooling xoxo
