Review: Social Sutra (Werribee)

Social Sutra in Werribee cafe review

The Social Sutra cafe has been in Werribee for a reasonably long time now with a few different incarnations. So does Social Sutra continue to deliver?

Social Sutra has a nice modern clean contemporary look although it's probably a bit more sterile than hipster than is desired. It also has some nice outdoor street bleachers if that is the right terminology for outdoor dining if the weather suits.

There are probably three great features of Social Sutra. The first is the ecletic and quite cool menu they have. From all the typical cafe brunch food such as eggs benny, smashed avo stack, big brekkie, zucchini and sweet potato fritters they also have a more diverse menu.

This includes an updated special menu that included beef brisket quesadilla and beef wagyu lasagne when we were there. As well Social Sutra's standard menu includes items such as philly steak sandwich, Korean fried chicken burger, pulled lamb salad, chicken karrage and a select childrens menu. In Other words they have an extensive menu that also stands out from the crowd.

The second Social Sutra stand-out feature is their amazing pricing. This is some of the most competitive and value pricing you will find in Werribee for it's generally excellent quality. In other words you definitely don't feel like you are breaking the bank coming to Socail Sutra. The value is compelling as you don't feel like you are in anyway downgrading yourself dining at Social Sutra.

The third great feature of Social Sutra is that they offer an extensive selection of alcoholic beverages at again very compelling prices. It's really nice to have a nice beer or wine with your meal if you feel in the mood.

Social Sutra is generally a great cafe experience with probably it's weakest feature is that it doesn't have any coolness or hipsterish feel and at least when we were there wasn't too busy so lacked a bit of atmosphere. However don't let put you off.

In a nutshell

Social Sutra is an attractive looking cafe although perhaps is a bit generic. However its great and extensive menu, budget friendly pricing, alcoholic beverage selection and food quality make this a highly recommended cafe. The biggest letdown may be its lack of vibe if that is important to you.
