.. not wanting to be called a slacker, thought I'd put this up.
I'll be away for about 2+ weeks, so won't be around for the next 3 meet-ups (this coming one included). Will pass on the baton to meanmx to update the next stop. So have fun, guys.

Embassy Cafe

VIC 3003

7:30pm onwards

I'll jump in early and say that I can't make it this week.

My sister is visiting for a few days.

Damn you always beat me to it Shuey! What if I don't want the baton? I've also done a little research into the next weeks possible meetup at Deganni's Northcote. This seems it is at a shopping centre which doesn't automatically discount it but it does go against it. The Deganni site just says it is open until late. Does anyone have any better experience with it as in actual close time, parking situation, outdoor area close to cars, etc.

Review of recent outings:

Groove Lounge - Parking is moderate although doable. Closes early. Much busier come summer.
Java - Very limited parking.
Andrews Burgers - Very little parking. No outdoor seating.
Braeside Kebabs - Not central enough. Parking could be an issue. Not enough table space.
Pancake Parlour Chadstone - Too restauranty, removed from cars. EXPENSIVE!
Garage Cafe - Perfect!!!

Anything else to add? Any comments on future spots?

Deganis Cafe in Northcoate. ALOT of parking.

meanmx · Postby **meanmx** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 1:11 am

We're aware it has alot of parking because it is a shopping centre. Is there alot of parking right next to Deganni's where people can keep an eye on their cars? Is that part of the carpark busy at that time? We automatically stay away from shopping centres as there a alot of morons in cars going to shopping centres. What time is open till late? 9? 10? You need to give us more info.

Sure,

Parking is right next to the store and they are open to pretty late. Last time i was there i was there till 11:30 and left and they still had people there. It's busy but with people going to the Rib joint and Degannis to begin with as the mall is more on the other side.

I'll swing past and take some photos this week.

Degani's in Northcote has sufficient parking close by.
The plaza closes by 6pm and after that, the only people that go there either go for ribs and burgers or deganis.
Besides that its a very quiet shopping plaza.

Id love to have a look at members mx5's. I've been looking for an na mx5 for the last 2 months but havent had any luck.
