A woman has vented her frustration over Melbourne’s breakfast offerings, sharing a photo of the ‘deconstructed’ avocado toast she was recently served at a Melbourne cafe.
And honestly, we don’t blame her.
For a hefty price of $18 at Kettle Black cafe, writer and radio presenter Jess McGuire was served a slice of bread, half an avocado in its skin, a slither of feta cheese, a line of kelp salt and a slice of lime.
Jess posted a photo of the next-level hipster meal on Instagram, gaining hundreds of likes and comments in a matter of hours.
“I’m not sure you guys will ever fully understand the level of annoyance I felt being handed this alleged ‘avocado toast with feta’ breakfast that cost $18 today,” Jess wrote.

I'm a Melbournian. I love food. But it's getting ridiculous. Do you know how hard it is to find cafe that has mastered the breakfast basics, and have the familiar items such as pancakes now? They are all trying too hard. I live in a very cafe-y area with many couples, dogs and prams. And too many cafes. None are serving up a decent breakfast. All are trying too hard with deconstructed fusion foods. No simple eggs on toast with optional sides.
I know Kettle Black and it's popular. It's trendy. But it's a joke.
Elsewhere (Newport) I had a deconstructed iced coffee served to me on a wooden board - coffee, milk and scoop of ice cream - all separated. Why?
That's why I love menus with pics!
