FOOD | WOODSTOCK CAFE

I am a lover of food, perhaps even an addict. I spend my spare time unapologetically searching for the latest hot cafe and scrolling through copious amounts of food photos on Instagram, so much so that sometimes I wonder whether they have a support group for fellow food addicts- 'Food Lovers Anonymous' anyone? 

I always tell anyone who will listen that I have a severe case of 'FOMO'- fear of missing out! 
With many Melbourne cafes boating a seasonal menu, my FOMO tends to flare up quite regularly and you will regularly find me at a cafe on weekends. 

Having woken up early on a Saturday morning to do a quick airport drop off, I seized the opportunity to have breakfast at one of my favourite cafe's Woodstock. 
Located on High St, Armadale, I always hit this cafe when I feel like a 'classic', no-fuss breakfast. 
None of this flavoured hollandaise (although they do serve a lime hollandaise on their menu), or fruit done so many different ways that you didn't even know it could be done that way (which seems to be all the rage amongst Melbourne cafes as of late). For those occasions you feel like a simple breakfast/brunch then Woodstock in Armadale is the place to go. 

The menu boasts the usual suspects- fruit salad, croissants, muesli, pancakes..the list goes on. With all that choice and after many "ums" and "oohs", and  a lot of indecisiveness, I finally settled on their omelette dish (a tough decision given the large variety on offer). 

Three fluffy buttery eggs, topped with smoked bacon, cherry tomatoes and beetroot relish. A sprinkling of rocket on top, provided a freshness that cut through the richness and heaviness of the egg-bacon combination.

The servings here at Woodstock are generous, so much so that I have not been able to completely finish a dish in its entirety- thank god for T as he is always willing to finish my dish for me. And, moderately priced, it is certainly value for money.  

If it's simplicity that you're after then look no further than Woodstock Armadale. Like the historic Woodstock Festival of 69', this cafe is certainly memorable.
