Mietta's Review
Its legend proceeds it, the Turtle Cafe in the corner, on the round. Footpath tables with a little green nature strip beneath the towering gum trees, ideal for pooch and owner. Inside its wall to window kitch that over the years has become a lounge room away from home for locals and the many who want a slice of Elwood action. Parents with children and prams like it especially. Since 2000 Guy Ezard and his mother Frieda, a founder partner at the fabulous Fitzroy bakery Babka have owned and run it. The menu is simple-sandwiches, pastries, salads- and admirably attempts to remain on the healthy side of delicious. Turtle Cafe remains unlicensed preferring to serve coffee to those who have consumed too much alcohol.
