Barton - Kurunjang

It has cheap snacks for after school, and I had this really nice server called Archie. He served me and my friend and helped us pick what to get. We did do the review Archie! from Egg Bee

Great for a “Sunday roast” atmosphere: the food there is better than your average cafe, the different rooms fireplace make the place really cosy. Not the cheapest but still new favorite!

Barton Milk Bar is now a cafe called 'Barton ' situated at the corner of Barton Denham Streets, Hawthorn. This cafe is a most wonderful addition to our quiet neighbourhood. The timber interior is beautifully renovated with several dining rooms. One of them has a cosy fire place. The menu is well designed. The furniture and decor reminds me of a traditional French cafe. Food served here are delicious and well prepared. The ingredients are fresh. The coffee is hot and expertly made. The selection of cakes are divine. Just like a milkbar, you can pick up your daily newspaper here as well. Do drop in and say hello to 2 very friendly sibling owners Cat James Laskie.

As we usher in a new year and adapt to a new way of life, Barton has transitioned to the dine-in menu they originally intended, now complemented by a liquor license. Many patrons celebrated the end of lockdown with a glass of champagne, while others enjoyed an Aperol Spritz in the outdoor seating area, which boasts a Parisian vibe. Inside, Barton presents a charming atmosphere with its dark timber panelled walls, a marble-topped bar with brass fittings, an open fireplace, and mirrored decor that enhances the space. The coffee is robust, perfectly complemented by oat milk. The breakfast and lunch menu features classics like Eggs Benedict and Smashed Avocado, with the local favorite being 'The Hawthorn', which highlights the chef's homemade hummus alongside vibrant greens and a poached egg.

I ordered takeaway from this place and tried the Barton sandwich. It was very delicious, but I’m not sure it’s worth the $16 price, especially when compared to places like Hector's Deli. Still, it was a good sandwich overall!
