Light Years

Lovely cafe with very modern interior design. The food was presented nicely on plate, Seating area quite spacious and clean. Can park right outside so pretty convenient!

Great spot for breakfast. Friendly staff and quick service. Nice coffee and tea. The meals were absolutely fantastic- crispy hash browns & bacon, waffles were divine!!

Nice mid-sized cafe with decent coffee and helpful, friendly staff. Ambience is industrial with exposed concrete, steel, and ducting which is okay if you like that kind of thing. It is quite cold with the cooler weather and the concrete and steel. Food looked good but didn't have anything. Prices were reasonable.

I tried the Eggs Benny which has a very interesting flavour profile. A smart combination between sweet apple and frozen grapes & creamy rich poached eggs w/ delicious pulled porks The staff was very friendly & hospitable Only note is that the portion is quite small compared to other places

Lwe were totally satisfied when we visited @lightyearscafe and enjoyed an amazing Brunch spread.. . Starting with the interiors and vibe of the place - it was electric and was so good to see people returning to normality. . Then out of a good menu spread we picked the following: • Tropical And Peanut butter chocolate smoothies • Lightyears Big Breakkie it is our all time fav • Pork belly eggs Benedict never disappoints • Belgian waffle satisfaction level top notch . We had a great time here and would love to return and try other items on their menu. . We would definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful food, great coffee and much, much improved service from my last visit. I'm so glad and I'm excited to visit again.

Surprised to find this gem at Hawthorn East. Great interior design. We have ordered pork belly dish for lunch. It’s okay. I would like to see a really crispy pork belly skin at the other places I tried before. BTW, coffee is good.

This place was very good very aesthetic and calm look and the food was very exquisite i got the waffles, and it was very fruity and had a good balance and wasn’t to sweet definitely recommend getting the waffles, the staff was very nice. Definitely recommend coming here for a breakfast or brunch!!

Light Years has been judged the best cafe in Melbourne giving us a reason to travel to Hawthorn. A very modern cafe that churns out decent food but anything splendid about it? Naah! Ordered Pork Belly Benedict, Crispy Almond and Cornflakes Chicken Burger and Chilli Scrambled Eggs with Grilled Chicken to go with our usual order of Coffee and Hot Chocolate. Flavors = Pretty average, Quality = Good, Pork = Chewy, Coffee = Very Good, Hot Chocolate = Good. Except the freshness of ingredients there's not much to offer as far as innovation is concerned... Something that we wouldn't miss!! Staff are very efficient and smiling. Pricing, based on the taste and taste only was a bit too expensive Overrated!!

Always a lovely brunch with very good quality meals. Would like to see the menu change seasonally or diversify a little with more sweet and lunch options. There are mostly egg based meals, 1 fruit, 1 sweet and 1 burger which may not suit everyone's tastes.
