Light Years Cafe

My go-to coffee spot here in Hawthorn. Pop in after a workout or grab a coworker for a walk and coffee, Light Years will be a great for you. Plenty of food options whether you grab a takeaway and sit in the park behind the cafe or enjoy the ambience of the space. This place is lovely and the staff are very friendly too.

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.

Rating: 10/10

Short Review: Great service, nice belgian waffle.

Long Review: Came here at around 10:30 for a late breakfast, and was very pleasantly suprised. Great atmosphere, not too busy, staff were fast and helpful. Food came out in a timely manner, and was delicious. Would recommend.

Batch brew was one of the best I’ve had, but was small, about the size of a long black. The croquette dish was presented beautifully, and was a great combination of flavours and texture. The service was a little cold.

The best cafe in the area! The food is amazing. Services is prompt and friendly. Highly recommend it to everyone.

Great spacious cafe with a few outdoor seating around the side.

The staff are friendly and lovely.

The food, amazing. The bircher muesli is full of fresh fruits making it full of flavour.

The pixel avo is so instaworthy, the crispy air dried bits and edamame hummus was to die for. Add a soft shell crab and it's out of this world.

I can see why it won Timeout cafe of 2018

Can't wait to come back.

easy parking, great hospitality, professional baristas good at both expresso coffees and filter coffee , food was very tasty with great presentation, one of the best muffin in Melbourne with good price! Crunchy muffin top with moist muffin body, well balanced flavours full of surprises! Thank you 😊

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!!

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.

Good coffee, efficient service and we got our meals quickly, meals were delicious, fresh and generous. I loved the Bircher muesli in particular. Nice and relaxed atmosphere.

My go to place for coffee. Best soy latte 👌. Lovely staff. Ambient surrounds

Absolutely LOVED this place, I can see why it has so many great reviews and articles! Really recommend booking ahead as it’s quite popular. Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. Coffee was great and the dishes on offer were exquisite! Definitely coming back again to sample the whole menu!

We only had black coffee here, but I really enjoyed the batch brew. Long black was also decent

Modern industrial design with lofty ceiling and large windows provides the interior with an abundance of natural light.

Light years is an awesome cafe in Camberwell. Its stylish concrete floored venue with great food and service to go with it. I recommend the candied bacon.

The oat lattes are delish! It's definitely the better coffee around this area!

My daily go - to cafe, love the vibe , nice staff.
My coffee recommendation- Vanilla Latte

Nice friendly staff and great coffee and food. One my regulars.

Lovely service and coffee. Best cafe in Melbourne!
