Terror Twilight

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 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!

Loved their new pancakes with thyme, salted popcorn and apple…adventurous yet so familiar and comfortable flavors for this winter. The coffee were amazing too. Would recommend better a long black rather than the magic just to taste better the coffee bean.

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.

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

food was great :) i did the make your own bowl and it was all so yum! only complaint is there should have been more tofu for $7. service was great, everyone was lovely

My sister & I traveled to Terror Twilight for brunch & loved it. Vibes were great, coffee was stunning & food gorgeous. I got the pancakes, I will say the texture is different because they’re gluten free, but they were delicious nevertheless. & the staff were lovely. There was a wait on seating but we understood seeing as they were busy & we’re happy to wait.

One of the nicest brunch meals I had on my visit to Melbourne! Excellent venue in the centre of Collingwood. Would definitely recommend a visit. And add the Spanish potatoes… just yummy

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.
