Mietta's Review
Standard (read creative), but high-quality fare available at this eclectically decorated cafe and produce store. The menu changes regularly, and the service matches the quality of the food. Ingredients for the pantry are also for sale, including; lentils, vinegars, oil and pasta. No longer open for dinner.

Herald Sun Dining Out, Stephen Downes, 6-11-07 Score: 14/20 "I loved Spoonful's savoury A dishes. Servings are big and the value for money is considerable. Fight off the local ladies - many of whom are dead ringers for Prue and Trude from Kath & Kim - and you won't regret it. The wine list is limited, and a white, a rose and two reds are available by the glass."
