25.01.2022 Sorry folks, were CLOSED for the Melbourne Cup public holiday but well be back in action tomorrow. See you all then!

25.01.2022 There are lots of clever references to the round shape of a coin too. This naturally led the designers to create a distinctly Art Deco aesthetic with all those wonderful, rounded edges being cleverly incorporated throughout. It seems like were catching the eyes of not just food-related publications and blogs but also design publications! Check out the write-up on I for Style: http://iforstyle.com.au/the-penny-drop-cafe/

25.01.2022 Smashed avocado? Yawn, how boring! We like to whip ours instead and serve it on your toast with heirloom tomatoes, chilli pepita oil, shiso and Yarra Valley feta!

24.01.2022 We've created a delicious and refreshing dish to welcome this wonderful Spring weather. Our duck confit spring onion pancakes are packed with amazin' flavours! Whos been lucky to try them before? Image source: instagram.com/pearlies_oz

23.01.2022 Woohooo! Featured on The Urban List | Melbourne!

22.01.2022 Have you had a savoury waffle before? We've created a potato and garlic waffle, probably the best savoury waffle you'll ever have. Come try them out if you're in the Box Hill Central area!

21.01.2022 We're so happy to be featured in Est Living! 'Sitting at the base of the Australian Tax Office in Box Hill, Melbourne, sits the Penny Drop Café designed by We Are Huntly - the same team behind the recently featured Balaclava House project. Working in collaboration with POP & PAC design studio, the concept behind the naming of the cafe plays on the idea of penny's dropping from the pockets of the ATO above. Here, the use of art deco features and textured surfaces by We are Huntly work to add a warmth and softness to what could be otherwise considered a sterile space given the nature of the buildings occupants.'

21.01.2022 Our slow braised beef short ribs is another one of our classic dishes - it's delicious and melts in your mouth! Enjoy it for dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, along with a glass of red wine.

20.01.2022 Our wild mushroom san choi bau has been a hit with vegetarians but we think every carnivore should give it a crack too. We mix together wild mushrooms, peanuts and water chestnuts, tying it all together with a splash of soy ginger dressing. Bonus: theyre also vegetarian.

19.01.2022 The guys from the Delightfully Tasty blog visited The Penny Drop for breakfast recently. Thanks for coming looking forward to seeing you back again for lunch or dinner sometime! The interior of The Penny Drop is very modern and simple, with wooden aesthetics contrasting with the white walls and minimalistic design for a comfortable dining experience. Upbeat music plays in the background, and together with the chatter from all the customers makes for a lively atmosphere that isn't too noisy or overcrowded. The staff were friendly and attentive, asking how our dishes were and refilling our water.

18.01.2022 If you're after something light, you should try our coconut chia pudding. It tastes as good as it looks - we promise! Meanwhile, you can have a look at the benefits of chia seeds.

18.01.2022 A great write-up from the team at The Domestic Traveller. We look forward to seeing you pop down again soon! Note: we're open all day today for Cup Day Eve but we'll be CLOSED tomorrow for the Melbourne Cup. We hope your horse wins!

13.01.2022 We have a great list of cocktails and each one is worth every penny (we promise!). However, if you have another cocktail in mind thats not on our list, were more than happy to see what we can do. Just ask and chances are we will deliver!

11.01.2022 Available for lunch and dinner, our braised lamb flank is a dish for those who love it rich and meaty. Its so tasty thanks to the mouth-watering combination of black vinegar caramel, chilli, tomato and smoked eggplant sambal.

11.01.2022 You're always allowed a sinful yet delicious spread on Sundays! There's always tomorrow (and the rest of the work, for that matter) to work those calories off at the gym.

10.01.2022 This is another one of our yummy dishes specially created for our amazing spring menu. Our corn and kimchi croquettes are not your ordinary croquettes. Don't believe us? Come check them out! Image: instagram.com/thinnchristine

09.01.2022 Sorry for the radio silence on our end lately weve been busy developing our new spring menu, which is now ready to be launched. Were looking forward to bringing you some new and exciting dishes for breakfast through to dinner, yay!

07.01.2022 As the days get warmer, our cravings for cooler drinks increase. Here are some ways you can enjoy iced coffee from home. Or better yet, you can drop into our café in Box Hill, Victoria and well show you how its done! We do iced lattes, mochas and even matchas!

07.01.2022 Rise and shine with our delicious wild mushroom dish, a Penny Drop breakfast menu staple. Served with crispy polenta, kale, salted ricotta and perfectly poached egg, we can see why this has been a customer favourite from day one. Talk about a great breakfast!

06.01.2022 Our charred corn is one of our brand new sides and were pretty proud of it. We serve it with miso butter, fried onion and a bit of togarashi for a sight kick.

05.01.2022 Wholl be dropping in to try our coconut and chia pudding with compressed kiwi, kale and blueberries for breakfast today? Trust us, itll make your Monday just that little bit better

02.01.2022 We enjoy (and are inspired by) this beautiful view from our glass windows every day while making coffee. That's why our coffees taste amazing! (that and the fact we get our beans from the amazing guys at Dc specialty coffee roasters and hire the most talented team of baristas!)
