Our Cafe
At the gateway to the Yarra Valley and set amongst the gum trees in a leafy back-pocket of Eltham, Second Home is housed in a stunning Alistair Knox warehouse. Steeped in history, the building has previously been home to heavy manufacturing, mechanical workshops and antique furniture before being transformed into the space that it is now… a most spectacular dining space that is Second Home.
Our FOOD
A collection of breakfast standards and classics interspersed with a more innovative lunch offering, there is something for all tastes and preferences. Second Home caters to all food intolerances and has a good offering of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan items.
All items are available for takeaway, a perfect option if you want to eat on the run or take it with you to explore the many beautiful parks and recreational spaces in Eltham.
