The Unexpected Duck - Kurunjang

No wonder this cafe is so popular. Absolutely delicious honest food. Best coffee in the area, and the friendliest atmosphere. I get coffee and lunch here whenever I’m in the area. YUM!

It is unexpected. The cafe is tucked around the corner off the Hartwell shopping centre. You just don’t expect it to be there. Cute name. Cute little space as well. Friendly owner/server here. Clearly loved by the locals going by the interactions I saw! The cafe has a great local following. There are coffee loyalty cards posted everywhere at the counter. I took the amazing deal, a toastie and coffee for $10. It was lovely coffee and a large one too. And, it was a super super bacon and egg toastie as well. Great value. Beautifully cooked. They’d used great seeded bread as well. Nice place. Lovely service. Well worth a visit.

Hi!<br/ <br/ Like some other reviewers we were in Camberwell and saw this little sign 'The unexpected duck cafe ' in George St.<br/ <br/ We headed in and grabbed a table, there were already a few in and seated.<br/ <br/ We had the Green smoothie bowl and mushrooms on toast (pictured). The smoothie bowl was delicious, the smoothie itself was tasty and well mixed, no lumps which I really enjoyed. The mushrooms on toast had a awesome twist, they put a hint of chili on the tomatoes which gives it real boost from the usual diced tomato on the plate, we also had a side of bacon that topped it off perfectly, everything 's better with bacon, right?<br/ <br/ Coffee was great, service for one staff member was spot on and super friendly, happy to have a quick chat while doing things which was nice.<br/ <br/ Congratulations to The unexpected duck as it is their one year anniversary of being open.<br/ <br/ Would highly recommend and plan on visiting again when in Camberwell.

I was lucky enough to sample Camberwell 's, The Unexpected Duck, new menu this weekend just gone and was blown away by the generous serving sizes and array of different items on the menu. I went with a big group of foodies and we were able to try a little bit of everything so yummy!<br/ <br/ After starting with coffees and freak shakes (strawberry donut chocolate with peanut butter , we all ordered a dish each the french toast, the hotdog, the burger, the mushroom brekky, the quinoa salad, the duck Benedict and the smashed avo. <br/ <br/ I had the Club Sandwich and I could not recommend it highly enough! It was absolutely chockas full of fillings grilled chicken, bacon, egg, tomato, lettuce mayonnaise. It came served with a side of potato crisps instead of fries, which I initially questioned, but was glad to snack on after eating such a huge sandwich.<br/ <br/ The french toast had a great flavour, but lacked presentation. We also ate it after everything else and it had gone a bit soggy. The hotdog received great reviews, but that the bun was very crunchy. The quinoa salads and burgers were all demolished. I tried a bit of the duck Benny, and liked the flavours, but it was very rich and I don 't think I could have eaten the whole dish.<br/ <br/ The Unexpected Duck is a small cafe with super friendly staff and delicious food and coffee. I would recommend visiting before more people find out about them. If you do visit, take an old book with you, because they have a cute little 'read and swap ' book nook in the back corner. <br/ <br/ Thanks for a wonderful lunch, team :

Such a pleasure launching the new menu with a bunch of lovely food bloggers today at the Unexpected Duck. A cute little local cafe located in Camberwell that does good quality food at extremely reasonable prices which is great for the nearby Deakin uni students. They also do a very impressive looking and decadent tasting freakshake in the form of strawberry topped with a jam donut and torched marshmallows or a peanut butter chocolate flavour complete with a cookie and peanut butter cup. Wow. Extremely indulgent and delicious.Foodwise I opted for the smashed avo with feta and poached eggs and a side of smoked salmon. This dish along with many others at the cafe are gluten free which is great news for our gf foodie friends. I really enjoyed my meal and the pleasant atmosphere of the space. They even have a little lending library in the corner with a ‘take one leave one’ philosophy with their books which gives a real sense of community. Easy parking, friendly staff and tasty food. All the ingredients for a perfect Sunday
