Terror Twilight

I visited this café today and loved the vibe such a lovely place to chill with friends. I ordered the chai orange, which was really good, but what stood out the most was our wonderful staff, Laura. She was so attentive, gave us the warmest service, and recommended special drinks that turned out to be fabulous. Thank you for making the experience extra memorable!

Really nice cafe, highly recommend the spicy green eggs. The front window is perfect for people watching and it has a nice atmosphere. I also picked up their white nectarine, peach and vanilla jam and it is so yummy.

Delicious food and coffee, so good we ate here a couple of times haha. Cant go wrong with this place. The portions are generous and everything was scrumptious. Service was fast and attentive. They also open early on weekends which was great!

A friend of mine suggested here for our regular catch up for our group of four. Service was lovely and the food was even nicer! The fritters were so filling! All of the meals were great portions. Will definitely be back!

A Collingwood fave! The nod to Pavement lured us in all those years ago and we have been back every time we hit Melbourne. Lovely sunlit space, vinyl records, great coffee, with an interesting, ever-changing menu. Special mention to the next level pancakes, of which there have been many incarnations, but these sweet potato & toffee apple compote with chantilly cream might just top ‘em all. Breakfast cocktails available too!

We were staying just down the road on a business trip and stopped in for breakfast. Food was great, loved the music on a turntable, coffee was great and the cups were awesome. So good we came back the next day and our waitress remembered us! The service from GG was fast, polite and efficient - she knew her stuff! Overall, loved the experience dining here. Will be back on the next trip!

One of my favourite places for brunch in Melbourne! Truly so delicious and I’ve Been a few times now. Food is 10/10, coffee good too! Avo on toast 10/10 Halloumi and pumpkin fritters 10/10 Service is delightful and the sunshine that beams through the windows is truly wonderful MUST GO brekky, brunch or lunch

Stepping into Terror Twilght on a wet, bustling Saturday felt like entering a delightful whirlwind, but thankfully, Laura was there to greet us! Despite the flurry of activity and a short wait (which, honestly, just built the anticipation), Laura didn't just take my name, she ingrained it. By the time we left, she not only remembered mine but charmingly extracted my wife's name too – a feat of memory sharper than my morning espresso! The cocktails were so delightful, they practically serenaded us, and the food was so absolutely delicious and generously portioned, we might still be recovering from a happy food coma. Despite the lively atmosphere, service was lightning-fast, leaving us with zero complaints and fully satisfied bellies. We absolutely enjoyed every minute here which has left us eager to return and explore more of that irresistible menu.

Best toastie in town. Service is always on point and friendly. Coffee is great. Music is eclectic and played from the record player. Record rotation is displayed on the wall. What more could you want?

Now Terror Twilight is a pretty unusual name for this cafe, as it will fill you with delight, not Terror, and it's probably best to visit at the crack of dawn, to enjoy their great coffee - provided by Brunswick's Wide Open Road, and sample their gorgeous breakfast menu. We visited on one of their quieter days, and although it was almost empty when we arrived, about half the tables quickly filled up with patrons visiting for a mix of coffees and pastries (Also made by Wide Open Road), or breakfast. It's a simple, clean fit out and works well for laid back brunches or a calm environment for a business meeting. There are a range of tables, including two well suited for larger groups. The menu comes in roughly two parts- there's your more traditional breakfast options - free range eggs, avocado, pikelets, porridge, fritters etc. and then there's Bowls or Broths, which are definitely going to become Terror Twilight's trademark. There's a lot to love about them - they're healthy, full of flavour, fresh and totally on trend. Choosing them comes in 4 parts. Firstly, decided if you want a bowl or a broth, then choose base, add your sides, and a protein. I opted for haloumi, sweet potato, and tumeric + cumin tossed cauliflower in my bowl, with a base of broccoli and winter greens and chicken for my protein. My other half went for a chicken broth, with buckwheat noodles, a soft boiled egg and fresh bokchoy, enoki mushrooms, beanshoots and thai basil, adding salmon for his protein. I want to say the best thing about them is that they are so healthy, but it's not. It's either that they are so delicious, or that you get to build your own dish, so they are really versatile, or that they cater really well for dietary requirements - so you can please everyone! We also got to try the pikelets, which came with grilled plums, cherry and cardamom syrup, coconut yoghurt and hazelnut brittle. These were also vegan and were amazing, they were light and airy and really tasty. They were so easy to eat, I could have devoured about 100 of them. I enjoyed the syrup and the brittle, but I think a smaller fruit like blueberries or strawberries would have completed the delicate pancakes better. A quick final word on the coffee. My other half tried the batch which is a strong, but enjoyable brew - will really wake you up. You can customise this by adding extra shots too. We liked the healthy conscious, clean eats undertone of Terror Twilight. It's not in your face about it, but most of the menu is healthy, fresh food. It tastes great and really sets you up well for the day. It's a got a good all day, versatile menu, with plenty of options to keep you coming back.
