Highland Park Sandwich Shop - Melbourne

Truly their vegan smash burger is the best I have ever had. Served with a side for $9 on freshly baked, organic, toasted sour dough bread, along with eggplant spread, micro greens, tomato and homemade pickles, it was absolutely delicious. The patty was crisp and tasty, cooked just right and not dominating like all other vegan burgers. The menu changes monthly so not sure it always will be available, but no doubt other vegan options offered in the future also will be made from scratch and yummy. The sandwich shop is co-located with the bakery Simply Bread for You, so other vegan and no vegan options also are served with their homemade baked goods, which are outstanding and nutritious. Loaves of bread also are available for purchase but call ahead if interested as they sell out early and bake only on certain days.

It seems like the vegan options are very popular at this restaurant, as they only had one vegan burger left and another customer was also interested in ordering it. We also tried the avocado toast, which was delicious. The food overall was very flavorful.

You may have heard that bread isn't good for you, but trust me, it's worth every bite at this restaurant. If you take your bread seriously, this is the place to be. They are the only reliable source in the area for naturally leavened bread. Join their cult following, sign up for their mailing list, learn their schedule, and treat yourself to some amazing bread. They offer many vegan options as well. While it may be a bit pricier than factory-made loaves, the quality and taste make it worth the cost. Some people even finish it in one day because it's that good. The apricot pumpkin seed bread is pure bliss. And yes, they do offer avocado toast, and it's everything you could hope for.

My husband and I recently visited this restaurant for a quick meal. I ordered the avocado toast and he had the portobello sandwich. I personally preferred my dish, but we both agreed that the food was delicious. It's worth mentioning that the menu at this restaurant changes every month.
