Sanctum Wholefoods & Sauna: Mentone’s Wholesome Beachside Sanctuary

 The menu at Sanctum celebrates wholefoods with a focus on fresh, wholesome ingredients. Standouts include their signature toasties (described by regulars as “hitting different”), creamy avocado toast, smoked salmon bagels, fresh fruit platters that taste like summer, and vibrant salads. For those after something heartier, options like pesto and brown rice stuffed peppers showcase the café’s gluten-free and health-conscious ethos. Drinks are equally impressive: the matcha cloud with cold foam has become something of a local legend, alongside excellent coffee (often praised as some of the best in Bayside), chai, and other wellness-focused beverages. Whether you’re after a quick breakfast, a leisurely lunch, or a post-beach refuel, the offerings feel nourishing without being fussy – exactly what you want from a beachside spot.

What sets Sanctum apart is its name: Wholefoods & Sauna. In addition to the café, the venue hints at a wellness focus, with a sauna experience reportedly coming soon (or already available in limited form). It’s this blend of good food, great views, and holistic vibes that has locals raving. Reviews highlight the attentive staff, consistently delicious food, and the sense of community – many describe it as the perfect bayside escape where you can slow down, savour the moment, and leave feeling recharged. One visitor summed it up perfectly: “Unbeatable ocean views, amazing food and coffee, and the best chilled atmosphere.”
