Hello, folks. Welcome to this episode of My Mate In... .
This week I was spending sometime in Richmond and I found a
cafe that I hadn't tried before.It is called Touchwood.
Welcome to this episode of MyMate In... where I like to tell
you about yummy places to go getfood and drinks.
Like the most recent episodewhere I was telling you about

(00:33):
Ellis' Belly, Touchwood has asimilar kind of industrial white
vibe so it also has concretefloors it's a much bigger space
than Ellis' Belly, it's also ona main strip so it's on Bridge
Street in Richmond. They have areally cool menu. I think I want
to try almost everything onthere. The physical space is

(00:54):
really nice and clean designwise. It's Bridge Street so if
you sit in the window you'regonna see lots of cute dogs go
past. We sat in the window, weenjoyed coffees, we watched
these dogs go past, particularlyadmired a British bulldog called
Alfie, wanted to make friendsbut good to give dog space. I

(01:16):
had Touchwood's waffle dish andthe thing that I really liked
about this was it had apistachio cream that my brain
just couldn't really understandwhat it was and what kind of
flavour it was except that Ijust knew it was delicious. The
dish, it's pretty sweetaltogether. I really enjoy just
the pistachio cream with thewaffle but it also has chocolate

(01:39):
sauce. It has like a berry pannacotta that sits on top and it's
served with berries. When itcomes out it's just you know
chef kiss looks beautiful. Timmycame along with me and got a
bacon and egg roll and it lookedand smelt really good, like
barbecue sauce looked reallydelightful and both her coffees
were good as well. So this isone that I would recommend if

(02:01):
you're walking around BridgeStreet on the weekend, find
yourself in Richmond, Touchwoodis a nice place to try out. I
hope you enjoy it. Sending youall the best and hoping that
you're keeping warm in thischilly Melbourne winter.
