Penta

The Verdict

From the guys who brought you Legacy, Temperance Society and Mob Espresso, their new café promises big, big things for Elsternwick.

Channelling good vibes only, meet Penta Elsternwick. Just like its predecessors, Penta’s menu features an array of healthy and colourful eats that are upping Melbourne’s café scene one step further.

Think Mexican rainbow bowls, chia beetroot pudding, and Nutella panna cotta. They’ve also got your classics covered – so look no further to subside your smashed avo’ cravings. Penta is also getting creative with their superfood smoothies, Nutella and salted caramel milkshakes, and golden lattes. Because are you even a Melbourne café if you don’t serve one of these?

The interior is modern and sleek, with pot plants growing in huge metal tins around the café. The exposed infrastructure also reinforces our favourite Melbourne vibes.

If you’re still feeling unsure, the ‘Big Deal’ will definitely have you converted. Featuring a beef burger with smoked cheese, served with fries and your choice of shake – you can indulge while your mates grab themselves an acai bowl.

Whether you’re healthy or cheeky, Penta will satisfy all your café craves!
