Read some of the other reviews... cant be the same place, even though it is. I go there every time I am in Melbourne from Canberra. I have always found this to be a friendly establishment and great service. I was in Melbourne for 3 days, had breakfast there each morning... preferred to drive from East Melbourne to have an incredible breakfast. Slight variations each morning. Incredible food and great takeaway meal options. Recommend you try for yourself. Every visit has been a pleasant experience with friendly service and great food!! I will DEFINITELY be back!!

An amazing cafe with fantastic food, great coffee and staff that make you feel at home. No other cafe in the area has such a welcoming vibe. My only complaint is they won't let me play with the bobble heads on the front counter. :)

Dropped in for a quick breakfast and a coffee. Loved it. My go to for breakfast is always scrambled egg, and this was perfect. Coffee was great, service was very friendly and fast. Just wish I had time to stay longer. Will definitely be returning here to try lunches and more. Had a great selection of sweet / reward food as well. Delicious.
