This very popular bakery and cafe has three branches in Melbourne. After some morning exercise with our children, their friends, and one of our grandchildren, our stomachs led us all to Cedar Bakery Preston. (Our Parkrun session happened to be at beautiful Coburg Lake.) The place is very spacious – in addition to the cafe, they also sell spices, olive oil, nuts, dried fruit, and other Middle Eastern foods. Because there were a few of we were given a large table and we ordered vegetarian Lebanese pizzas, halloumi and sujuk pizza, harissa eggs, beef kebab sticks, and zataar and cheese pastries. Everyone was satisfied with these choices. For drinks, many of us opted for iced coffee with ice cream because of the hot Melbourne summer day; my granddaughter chose a Red Velvet smoothie. If you want to try Cedar Bakery, you can hit up a branch in Preston, Taylor’s Lakes, and Moonee Ponds.

Toko roti dan cafe yang sangat populer ini mempunyai tiga cabang di Melbourne. Setelah  olah raga pagi bersama anak dan teman-temannya juga satu cucu kami, rasa lapar membawa kami semua ke cabang Cedar Bakery di suburb Preston.  Kebetulan olah raga Parkrun kami didanau Coburg yang indah. Bakery ini sangat luas karena disamping cafe mereka juga menjual rempah-rempah, minyak zaitun, kacang-kacangan, buah yang sudah dikeringkan dan bermacam-macam makanan lagi . Karena kami beramai-ramai kami diberi meja besar untuk group yang besar. Menu-menu yang kami pesan: pizza Lebanon vegetarian, pizza halloumi dan sujuk (sosis sapi Turkey), telur harissa, satay sapi Timur Tengah, roti dengan zataar dan keju. Semua merasa puas dengan menu- menu yang kami pilih ini. Untuk minuman banyak dari kami yang memilih kopi es sama es krim karena hari ini cukup panas; cucuku memilih minuman susu dingin Red Velvet. Apabila anda tertarik ingin mencoba Cedar Bakery, anda bisa mengunjungi mereka di Preston, Taylor’s Lakes dan Moonee Ponds.
