Cong Cyrus NguyenJuly 3, 2012The chocolate tart is chocoliscious!!! Lucky we had one saved for us when we arrived as it was late in the afternoon and there were only 2 left :) 3 ppl asked for it while we had our meals!! must try!
Gaik IgitkhanianApril 26, 2015One of the best french cafés in Melbourne. Wonderful atmosphere and absolutely amazing deserts. Hazelnut chocolate cake is a must try. Don't pass through macarons as well - coconut one was fantastic.
Love the warehouse feel and the large timber tables.Their cake selections is to die for so make sure you get some to take away.We had the choc mousse cake w banana/hazelnut crunch. Well worth a visit
Great lil place for all day breakfast or some yummy lunch. Coffee is awesome. & the desserts.. do yourself a favour get down there & try for yourself. Staff were great & prompt. Very busy place
VeeveeviiviiAugust 21, 2017So happy to be back after many years. Food and coffee is still good. Cosy lil' place with baked goods and fancy breakfasts :) cured salmon and poached egg was very rich!
Sarah VozzoSeptember 23, 2018You can have breakfast and brunch there! There menu has a great range of things. I’ve had the French toast and the Smashed Avocado dish. The service is great and very friendly.
Tim BDecember 24, 2016Pro tip - sit inside on days with even a slight breeze, or you, your food and your coffee will be covered in leaves and twigs from the neighbour's peppercorn tree
Michael LautersteinDecember 18, 2012One of the beating hearts of Instagram food photography. I don't think I have ever seen more of my fellow diners snapping away on iPhones in my life! with good reason the food is beautifully presented
Brandon LancherosApril 12, 2015Had the braised pork belly and it was delicious. Coffee was ok, not as good as when they serve the Colombian one though. Love the place. Be prepared to wait in the line for a few minutes...
Seda KokaJanuary 2, 2015Personal favourites: turkish baked eggs for breakfast and lamb salad for lunch. Very crowded especially on sunday mornings. Be as early as you can for breakfast.
Steph SSeptember 26, 2015The eggs royale is great with the extra twist of tobiko (flying fish row). Make sure you turn down Hotham St to get to the front entrance.
Linsey YewDecember 15, 2015Had the plain croissant and savory pastry - both were super yums! Awesome croissant with very flaky outside and buttery fluffiness on the inside!!
Sew LintFebruary 20, 2015Fantastic atmosphere, beautiful weather on the day I was there, and food with generous portion. superb coffee - two thumbs up.
Karen KirbyDecember 30, 2014Excellent food but coffee came really late when we almost finished breakfast. Must Try the pork belly breakfast. Good idea to come early.
Michelle LoughranJuly 28, 2015Recommend the pulled pork burger- one of the best brunch places in Melbourne!
A great well layed out open space. Croque Madam was terrific. Great to be able to sit back and watch the pastry chefs produce world class pastries in a big open kitchen.
If you're a fan of peanut butter, you can't go past the Peanut Butter, Caramel & Brownie
Aram DulyanJuly 10, 2012Trying the macarons here should be as mandatory as it gets. Plus they serve grated carrot as side for breakfast orders and the staff are lovely.
Guilherme AugusttoMay 17, 2014Café unique Australian fashion! Brazilians may wonder of first impression, but it's worth asking the fashion house!
Nick BurtoJanuary 13, 2016Amazing breakfast spot. You can sit outside under the umbrellas if the weather's warm.
Mel KershawSeptember 28, 2011Not a fan of the coffee, but the chocolate tart is out of this world. New breakfast menu is great, can recommend the jalepeno briche with beans and pulled pork.
They need to bring back their pork belly sandwich and their previous croque madame with the avacado green paste with mushrooms inside and rocket leaves.
Jeffrie TrikaJuly 30, 2013Order anything here, they all good ... pricey but good. Stay indoor as those smokers in the courtyard could not care whether their smokes is annoying you
Kirsten AndrellJune 28, 2013Planning an indulgent weekend? What better way to start the day than with Brioche French toast with caramelised apples, vanilla mascarpone & orange tuile?
Great place for a weekend brunch. The smashed peas and chorizo are delicious!
Leish FDecember 2, 2012If you're in near closing time you might leave with a box of free goodies!! Rose raspberry macaron is amazing.
Patrick KirbyOctober 31, 2014Quality of produce is exceptional. The chorizo with fetta, minted peas and poached eggs was perfect.
Teresa VillanuevaDecember 20, 2015Good place to take time, have a coffee or two with a great brekfaat.
- RobApril 15, 2013Great coffee, terrific food. Grand petit dejeuner and the breakfast platter are outstanding.
Gladys PutriApril 20, 2014Love this place, love the food, the coffee, and especially all the pastry!!!
Kelly IrvingMarch 12, 2013Awesome outdoor courtyard - try The Avo. It's worth it just to see how it's presented
Try the Roast Beef "Rare" Open Sandwich - It's practically a salad on a piece of bread. Delicious.
Yi Yun IreneFebruary 28, 2017Second time to here. I love the dessert but wouldn't recommend the Duck crepe.
Pan CakesApril 2, 2017Flavors were really good but the food was slightly cold. I wouldn't recommend the roast duck crepe. Filling is alright but the crepe is worst I ever had
Ben KershawJuly 3, 2011The eclairs and cake are amazing.. Check out the baked eggs also... Great back courtyard
Lou PardiSeptember 19, 2011Might I suggest you split the ploughman's lunch? Also - these macarons are like no other. #deelicious
JBMay 20, 2011Caramel french toast with creme and stewed fruit absolutely devine. Very rich&sweet for breakfast though
Fit MusMarch 24, 2014should i be more polite or should i be more careful with my choice of words.. or should i change my skin colour.. coz to have a reply "whatever" from the waitress is damn insulting..
- Their coffee is sublime. Best Long Macchiato I've ever had!
