Rowena Corner Store

It's been a while since I had Greek breakfast, and after finding this hidden gem in the middle of Richmond, I was glad to find authentic options here. We were greeted by a friendly staff. We ordered Kaski - Northern Greek dish of roast capsicum, feta, ricotta, chilli & tomato, served with a poached egg & warm pita bread. It didn't take long to get the food, and it was served very hot, on an iron pan. It was so good! Just wished there were less capsicums with possibly more pita breads, as I couldn't finish the dish. Coffee was good too, that my partner had a second serving. The place is slightly packed, so it does help to book in advance, specially on weekends. They have a cute grocery corner as well.

Such a sweet little spot. I love the old school aesthetic that actually feels pretty authentic and not contrived by hipsters. The fact that the space is in an old milk bar helps create that feel, as does the fact that the stock a lot of products you would find in one. I haven't tried any of the food, but the coffee and service are great.
