Ora Specialty Coffee is one of those places where you'd up and move just to make it your own local hotspot. It has everything, you could ask for in a cafe.
The staff are friendly and warm, the food is brilliant and fresh and the tea and coffees are perfectly brewed.
The seasonal menu consists of a handful of well executed dishes created by head chef Zoe Pearce. It was no surprise when Ora won the title of best food cafe in the Age's good Cafe guide 2014.
On my most recent visit, I had the Black pudding fritters with watercress and beetroot aioli. The fritters had a delicate crispy shell with a super creamy inside.
The beetroot aioli was a gorgeous vibrant colour, making the dish stunning both visually and taste wise. The peri peri pork roll was also a standout amongst friends.
As a tea lover, I adore the selection of teas on offer which are all from Storm in a Teacup. They are steeped to perfection and served in beautiful glassware, so you can appreciate the golden liquor of your tea. If coffee is your thing, they have almost every style of coffee imaginable - filter, siphon, cold drip, pour over etc - but rest assured, they are all done perfectly.
Finally Ora's small sweets display can not be overlooked, they have pretty little cupcakes, a delicious beetroot chocolate brownie and fluffy bombolinis with cream just to name a few.
Ora is truly a neighbourhood treasure. Its impeccable food and coffee bring a touch of city style and flair to an otherwise quiet suburban area.
