I’ve visited Dr Morse a couple of times for drinks and really enjoyed the experiences. The beer garden is great, fits a lot of people and the drinks are good.
The curry loaded kipfler potatoes are delicious if you are peckish for a snack while visiting.
Staff are friendly - I would recommend visiting if you are in the area.
The place is great for a lazy brunch, also have nice dinner menu, food were good, have nice selection of beer on taps, have in door and outdoor bar, fantastic for drinks on weekends, very cool vibe.

Although I’d come here six months ago a recent return for a ‘coffee on the go’ and then today chatting with the staff, means I’m going to have to return again and have a meal. The menu has been updated since I last fined here and I’m always looking for something new.
The coffee I had was not just good but the whole experience with the barista Paul who greeted me with a smile, happy to fill my reusable cup and wished me a good day - makes for a nice start to anyone’s working week.
The restaurant itself has a warm ambience and is spacious and open with exposed brick walls and decor to match the era in which it was built. Out the back is a stunning courtyard that you can enjoy summer days (or winter ones as there are heaters) and soak up all that Abbotsford has to offer. Wine and beer menu is good and a large bar for those that want something more.
Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Parking - is Johnston Street so can be hit or miss.
A must visit. I will return.
Good coffee
Great courtyard
Awesome drinks menu
Great lunch time snack through the side window
Fab weekend breakfast/brunch spot
Have visited many times
Had an expensive but worth-the-price drink at this Abbotsford drinking hole. It was a beer aged in wine barrels and served in a wine glass (at half the standard serving side). I would feel ripped off if it hadn't been so refreshing and delicious. Sat outside, which is nice and lively albeit a bit hectic from the train station right behind it. Would definitely visit again for food and other drinks.
Staff were very friendly, great variety of food and the flavours were delicious, we loved everything we ordered except for the lamb ribs, unfortunately they were far too fatty and had that lamb smell and they were deep fried, I think they would’ve been much better if they were beef or pork ribs. Will definitely return to try other things on the menu.
Such a good atmosphere for Saturday afternoon drinks. Edamame, cauliflower and ginger beef were fantastic. The ribs were a bit of a let down, a little too salty.
Abbotsford darling, Dr Morse is an all-day eatery boasting a spacious beer garden at the back. A new menu has just been launched with everything cooked on their new courtyard BBQ.
Under the guidance of Head Chef Ash Monks, the kitchen is in safe hands – think flavour-laden Pan Asian offerings made with locally sourced produce designed to entice and delight.
Been here for casual drinks and work functions. Nice food, accommodating, love the space and service. Nice touch having chef cook right at your table for functions. 👌
We love eating here! It’s a friendly atmosphere and the staff are always nice. Personal favourites are the Doc’s Smash and Dr Morse Benedict. The Pablo crumbled eggs are heaven!!
I grabbed the breakfast burger before meeting my friend. It turned out to be really delicious!
I really like the texture of bacon and chili mayo with fried egg. I definitely go back again soon 😉😎
Brunch date done right at Dr.Morse.
Came here this morning with the Mrs. And absolutely loved it. From the decor to the food, everything was spot on. The service I found to be the only negative. A bit hard to catch the attention of wait staff to order another coffee etc.We also waited a while before anyone took us to a table upon entering. Despite that, the quality of the ingredients used in each dish was superb, coffee was very good, chai was also not too bad ( had better). Definitely would come back !
Dropped in for a quick breakfast. The venue was really nice and very clean. Staff was energetic and friendly. Ordered a cappuccino and scrambled eggs on sourdough bread. Could not fault the coffee and the scrambled egg was so good! it was perfect combo for the wet chilly morning. would definitely go back for the eggs!
The food is so delicious and the beer was okay too for me. But being honest, the portion of the food just too small so i would like to get more. But overall, it’s nice and i will back. And it’s dog friendly too :) such a really good experience 🙂
Delicious evening of Asian inspired dishes. We were a group of 7 with different dietary requirements and the staff was fantastic juggling our needs with those of the kitchen really well. Our server was very affable and the food was ideal. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Morse.
Delicious and interesting vegan options and the best coffee. Really friendly staff and vibe too.
Would recommend a side of tater tots. Potatoes for life.
Eating Away Melbourne

Love Dr Morse. Always busy so try to get in early. Couldn't imagine a bar's food was actually really delicious. The Japanese style food was really cool. THE best YUZU spritz I have ever had. They also have this Sunday thing that you get really good bbq food and cheap drinks!
Wow I was so impressed with Dr Morse Bar & Eatery! We had the Doc’s smash & chilli scramble. The edamame in the Doc’s smash blended perfectly well with the avocado. The chilli scramble was one of the best I’ve had. You can actually taste the chilli as it was mixed inside and outside the scramble egg. I also loved the Vietnamese mint leaves, bean spouts & roti on the chilli scramble dish, such multi-dimensional flavors. There’s a beautiful courtyard & plenty of tables inside for large groups.
Never been disappointed here. Turns over beers weekly, coffee has improved recently, but the variety on menu at breakfast and lunch keeps it interesting. Asian fusions best on offer. Chips outstanding with a burger on the side.
I visited 20/11/2017 I ordered a take away coffee.
Wow! Impressive.
The coffee was spot on. They even put the sugar in for me. Full body good flavour well balanced. Good job guys.
The service was friendly prompt and polite. The inside set up was awesome and went well with the location. With great character. Will love to visit again and try the food.
Great atmosphere and amazingly friendly staff. Stopped for a beer and coffee. Lovely way to spend a Sunday morning after exploring the neighborhood. Fun place. Will be back to try the food.
Came in for a lunch with the dog. After trying to shuffle some crates around to be able to sit in the sun out the front they told me there is a courtyard with sun. The courtyard is great. There was no table service, which wasn't a big deal (although I do like table service). All the ingredients are well thought through, local, free range meat etc, lots of appreciation for that! I took the shio ramen with pork belly. Not a big fan to be honest. It missed flavour, was a bit blant. There were only two strips of pork in it. The half egg in it was really beautifully cooked, still a little bit soft but not runny. Wouldn't mind coming back and trying sone other things.
We've been here a few times and loved their food and the vibe. The most outstanding dish for me is the egg benedict, whether with smoked salmon or bacon or mushroom they're all delightfully good. The poach egg was coated with panko and deep fried, but they're still running when u break it open. And instead of the normal English muffin, they use some kind of roti that make the dish really special. Hollandaise sauce with a hint of spicy really lift up the dish.
We've tried prawn salad with coconut and duck with rice. They're all added an asian twist that make it interesting to eat.
They chance their menu quite often to make sure u're not bored when u come back.
Stunning, locally sourced food. Classy venue, ideal for special occasions or after work drinks. Great coffee and professional baristas. Only qualm being sullen wait staff.
Trendy all day bar and kitchen with a distinctly hipster vibe and an Asian inspired menu. Came here for lunch today and really enjoyed the Dr Morse Benedict which came with Panko crusted eggs, roti bread, bacon and srirachia hollandaise. The sauce was a real highlight. Also tried a few of their cocktails. In the nice weather the beer garden out the back would be fantastic. It's also extremely popular venue on a Saturday night.
Cafe in Abbortsford by the train station. Drinks look nice and pretty. Live music and entertainment in the evening. Generic pub food meets cafe kind of food.
The Benedict is still legendary. Fav breakfast ever. Quality hasn't dropped. But it has recently become $25? When did that happen?
I think that is extreme. But I will still be back. That's a Melb Life for you eh? 😫
Soup noodles on a cold day
Aint nothin better
If I may then I'm a stay and
Get my taste buds wetter
I risked it on the brisket
Damn glad I ain't missed it
Nobody ever dissed it
Top 7 for me listed
We came for ONA coffee but actually the milky one is not very good served. My latte has too much milk flavour but not the coffee. While foods are nice. The ramen is cooked with special seasoning and broth is also different from the normal Japanese ramen. My crumbled eggs is coming with spicy mayo which is nice but the crumbles are not very well cooked, a little bit too oily. Anyway it is good to have Asian flavour in.
Jake Flax great place for brunch. Coffee was good, have yet to try the tins!
Would be a great bar to come and have pres at, good beer garden and nice atmosphere
Happy little accident stumbling upon this place today. Had the most delicious breakfast (Benedict and smashed chats), great coffee, friendly staff, good atmosphere and super speedy service. Will definitely be back.
First this place is very cool and hip, well worth a visit. They have a range of beers not commonly heard of which only makes it more interesting.
Lunch was decent but not brilliant. The place was not busy and the food took a fairly long time to be served. My friend got his meal 15 minutes before I did.
I had the Satay Campur which was excellent and the steak (on skewers) was very tender and flavourful. My friend has the cheeseburger which also looked delicious.
The portions were however very small. The cheeseburger for $19 was not much bigger than a McDonald Cheeseburger, albeit with a bigger patty. I also wished my dish had more steak and another paratha roti.
Happy to come back. If not for the meals it's cool spot for a drink.
The Beauty Of Melbourne

This was actually so random for me, I was completely craving the Benedict from Sir Charles, but was running late to get back to Brunswick so stopped off instead to Dr Morse and was so delighted to have the exact same brekky! It was a really hot day though & the windows were all completely open // no aircon.
The best people serving the best food and the best coffee. Love their mochas, I can never ask for a better start for the morning. Staff are lovely too. Enough said.
Pan Asian inspired with the chefs hailing from Chin Chin and Red Spice Road naturally Dr Morse is one of those venues that encourages sharing food. My partner and I headed here for date night and ordered the massamum beef fries, the steamed prawn dumplings and the salt and pepper squid- all delicious. The fries in particular were exceptional. We then chose Penang lamb shank curry and roti with satay sauce which were both amazing. The outdoor area was perfect for post dinner cocktails and I can't wait to head back here to try the breakfast menu
Great location, visually appealing layout, beautiful food, good coffee, immaculate service. We've been twice now and we love it! Always clean and tidy, we come from north balwyn to have breakfast here. Well done guys!
This Diner Is Anonymous
+4.5
Really love this place. The food is great (THOSE SAUSAGE ROLLS), with the best bit being the window that looks onto the al fresco dining area - perfect for those with a hound. My only gripe is that the coffee's pretty pricey at $4 in a cup that's definitely smaller than others in the area. The service is always good though, and their meats are sublime. Check out their sister (brother?) cafe, Plug Nickel, in Collingwood for some seriously amazing roti wraps.
It says a lot about the high standards Melbournians uphold with regards to brekky, brunch and coffee that Dr Morse is only a 3.6 rated restaurant... because if it was anywhere else I feel it would be rated much higher.
The breakfast/lunch menu is inventive, exciting and varied... the coffee is of good quality, and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. I ordered 2 flat whites and a chill scramble with roti and crab and the flavours were fantastic, the roti was moist but flakey, the egg folded beautifully and the crab and chilli was warm but subtle.
I will 100% be coming back here of a weekend and recommend it to friends.
Food was really really good but service a little lacking. Maybe it's just the general Melbourne cafe vibe we're the staff look and act like everything's just a little too hard for them.. good coffee even though we were told larges could only be made in takeaways.. would go back for the chili scrambled eggs with roti, was delicious. Lovely building and seating.
Come here for a late brunch. Sat outside in the beer garden. Very nice space tucked away at the back. No table service at this time so have to order at the bar.
Coffee only comes in one size but it is good.
Food was very tasty and some interesting selections on the menu.
Very chilled out vibe. Worth checking out.
Probably a great place for arvo bevvies as well.

I arrived here on a Sunday morning around 9.30 am. There's free parking right outside on Sundays. There's not much nearby and there is also a bus stop quite close. So very accessible.
Its got a large industrial style layout with a large courtyard. The loos are outside and clean. Winning
The menu has panko style eggs benedict with a choice of mushrooms, salmon or other sides for 22. I went for the chilli scrambled eggs with a shot of chilli and Vietnamese style mint.
Service is quite quick and the staff are uber friendly. The place didn't seem to get busy at all and I believe there was even a reservation for 10 people. The lunch menu looks equally enticing but only starts at 11. My friend was enamoured by the duck main on their lunch menu.
Portion sizes are great. My chilli scrambled eggs despite the shot of chilli were not spicy and quite bland. I had to douse them with salt and pepper. I could definitely taste the Vietnamese flavours with all the bean sprouts and mint leaves but these garnishes took away flavours from the egg. The roti was nice but then again I could not taste anything. So though I want to give this dish a five out of five, the lack of taste makes it hard.
My friends devoured their Panko fried poached eggs and one of them kept complaining about how creamy the hollandaise sauce was (it's hollandaise sherlock - stop complaining). The mushrooms were delicious. But I guess my issue with this dish is that it is almost identical to the eggs benedict at sir Charles

Looking for somewhere local to my friend's abode for a celebration and came upon reviews of this place. Sounded interesting so met up for a late-ish lunch on a wet Melbourne Sunday afternoon. Upon arrival noted artificial grass on milk crates, busy hole in the wall serving up their table fare and coffees for take way, doggies sitting at outside tables...a great inner-city vibe without the pretension. While waiting for friend to arrive, took in surroundings. interesting retro/industrial/shabby mix with lots of little areas to dine or just wine, lovely spot at open fire. Ordered the Dr Morse benedict. Wowser! Perfect eggs, bacon, roti and just the right amount of heat. Lovely dirty chai in fabulous mugs; did I say I love the detail in this place?
terrific service, attentive without being cloying. Wiled away several hours here very easily. only one teeny tiny thing....couldn't order a coffee after 4 as machine is shut down, otherwise probably would have stayed for dinner (and possibly breakfast the NEXT morning!) Will become a regular haunt
If I was a local, I'd be here almost on the daily but can't cause I live yonks away.
I've only been here once to dine in for brekkie with a friend and the other time to drink outside in the bar area for an event. My friend and I both got the same thing the Benedict (I think a must try and get) and I just knew it would be so good to eat up. That egg was something, it oozed and it was flavoursome and the rest of the dish was damn fine. The coffee was exquisite too!
It's such a cool, trendy place - almost like walking into a house even. I found the service to be bloody awesome, the waitress that served us was attentive and served us water - like literally poured it for us. Rest of their team are friendly as well! 😄
Be back for brekkie vibes for sure! 🙌☕️️
Not a bad eatry/bar which plays some decent tunes and is conveniently located underneath Victoria Park Station , Abbotsford . The interior is a hotchpotch of Melbourne now and a bit of " it looked good in 2006 " . Front of house is poorly lit and so loud; the hard flooring probably doesn't help . The beer garden is probably the best space in the venue, open an airy with enough room to gyrate to the funky old skool tracks being played . An eclectic crowd which you wouldn't call urban . More suburban tourists on a night out with a smatterings of oh " I live in Colling-ford-rich-roy so I must be cool " . But what was important was the food wasn't bad at all an assortment of mains and entrees accompanied with good wine, definitely value for money. Considering it was a busy Saturday night the service was really good. Maybe my problem is I went on a Saturday night .Oh well, will give it another burl but on a school night or during the day.
Dr Morse Bar and Eatery is positioned near the railway way track bridge, just a stone’s throw away from Victoria Park station. It was a great spot to fuel up before my friend and I started our Pokemon Go hunt. You would think that I was kidding, but I’m not. I’m still playing it and going strong.
I had one of the best casual meals that I've remember in abbotsford. Cocktails are great and the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.
Great relaxed atmosphere with open fire and comfortable seating including lounge & outdoor areas. Nice Orange & Tequila cocktail but limited menu. Yet to try food but looking forward to going again!

TASTE - flavours were good in the duck curry, found the cauliflower flavours a bit odd/unbalanced. Duck pancakes were nice
VALUE - very little meat in the duck curry so didn't consider it good value, would prefer to pay more and get more meat - probably only 6 small pieces of meat or less. Rest of the menu was fairly priced but definitely not cheap/good value
SERVICE - friendly and knowledgeable.
WOULD I GO BACK? - Probably, but wouldn't make a special trip here.
My gosh the eggs Benedict! Amazballs! Everything on that plate went down so well! Loved it sick. Only negative about this place might be the lack of smiles from the staff :( but still up for a chat and do there job well!
If you like your breakfast with a little kick or a touch of herbs, this is a place you want to try. The coffee is ordinary but the egg Benedict is awesome and substantial. The crispy duck is nice too but may not be very filling for lunch.
These guys are class. Take note.
I hope they open a microbrewery close by.
PS. My friend Luke has the hots for Pete
Food and Drink (particularly beer) is possibly best around the hood.
Best soda water too.
Woooow !!
So good place ! Hot choccy was so good and i had the benedict eggs ! That was what i call a perfect dish ! Eggs were poached and fried so the outside was crispy ! The sauce was a bit spicy but very good ! For once i didn't have the basic/boring benedict and that was just so good !!
Had an absolutely beautiful takeaway coffee here today. Sweetness, creaminess, coffee strength and milk was frothed perfectly. 9.5/10 coffee - easily one of the best I've had, and came in a cute compostable cup too. Didn't have food but heard it was underwhelming compared to the coffee.
Had a great casual meal here with family after the footy! We had salt and pepper squid, toast pumpkin salad and Balinese pork curry. All absolutely scrumptious- friendly & fast service!
Kids friendly being very open and spacious. Eggs Benedict was innovative by combining with Roti. Good atmosphere and relaxing. Will be back again and again.
Coffee 6/10 coffee was weak, wasnt strong at all. Made perfect though.
We had the pork sliders and a pork chicken bbq platter, was all nice and tasty, great little spot. I really liked the outdoor beer garden, bar and bbq area.
Interesting place, good music, nice coffee. My first Panko eggs but too much spicy Hollandaise salsa, it made me a little sick. Next time ask for this one at side
Have been here a few times and their BURGER AND CHIPS is delicious. Have not sampled the breakfast but their coffee was acceptable. I would have preferred a richer, creamier froth and it was slightly bitter; however it did leave a great taste in my mouth when I was finishing it off.
I would have preferred they did not serve sparkling mineral water as the default. I loathe it.
I will retry their burger soon, but I doubt that quality has been compromised.
Service was extra friendly and the place has a relaxing ambience.
Today's sago and coconut pudding had some exotic fruits that added colour and varied flavours to the satisfying dish - dehydrated pineapple, dragon fruit, star fruit and mango. The hot chocolate is always excellent here. This is a regular hang out place for us, with enough variety to suit everyone.
Had the Dr Morse Eggs Benedict with bacon.. It was so yummy, pan lo crumbed eggs were fabulous and spicy hollandaise was perfect
Coffee was a choice of black or white that is it... Mine was lovely
The crumbed eggs are phenomenal! My new addiction. I had them yesterday and I really want to go back and have them again today. With greens and mushrooms. Wow! Great espresso martinis and Bloody Mary's. Good service. I like the sunny courtyard. Right near the train station is handy. I can't wait to go back.
15/2: I went back and ordered the same thing. And it was just as amazing!!! Chai latte was bland though. But who cares. I will be back for these poached eggs for sure!
4/7: just went back for the cheese burger. Absolutely awesome. Meat was top quality medium rare and the meat to bread ratio worked. Simple cheese burger with cheese pickles and a creamy kind of sauce. Like a tartar with a bit of tomato? Maybe? Anyways - loved it.
Seriously, you MUST try the burgers here! Sooo flavoursome and fresh, side of chips always crispy and yum. Pretty good coffee from the hatch on the side near the station, cakey things and coffee a little over priced if you ask me, but delish coffee is worth it
Came here after dinner for a few quiet drinks and we will be back. Good range of beers on tap , a great beer garden and good range of bar snacks to choose from. Nice relaxing atmosphere.
Have been a regular since this place opened. Generally good to very good meals and good service. Music, as some others have noted, can be too loud on occasion. Really love the outside beer garden area on a nice warm day. Menu turns over regularly so sadly some of faves have disappeared. My biggest gripe - and why I don't rank it higher - is the poor labeling of the menu for food allergy sufferers. As somewhat with a peanut allergy, I'm very cautious, but have been caught out by 1. A doughnut with a nut filled centre (!), 2. A meat curry jaffal served with a peanut salad, and 3. A prawn slider with a peanut salad - in each case nuts were not expected. If you're in the area then a great place for a good coffee and tasty bite to eat. Bring your epipen just in case!
I like it here, but had some pretty average service the other day. Unfortunately they don't mention on the menu that they put beetroot juice in their Bloody Mary. When I let the staff know that I wasn't a fan of the drink they acted like I was being ridiculous and asked me if I'd ever had a bloody mary before. Trust me I have...many.
Like another reviewer has mentioned the music can get a bit loud, which is fine on the weekend but we were there for lunch on a Wednesday and it was insane.
The food is nice and they have a great selection of craft beer so will be coming back.
Have been a regular here since they first opened (we live all of 250 metres away). And love it - in spite of several menu changes that have seen our favourites disappear never to return :) The fact we find new favourites each menu change is indicative of the quality of this place.
It can get busy at weekends - particularly in summer months with the outdoor courtyard heaving. People = noise, so on these occasions if you're looking for a quiet meal, Dr Morse is not the place (music is played indoors as well and it can get intrusive if you're not in the mood).
We tend to go midweek, sit back wiht a bottle of red and a series of 'tasters' between two or three of us (usually on recommendation of staff). Brilliant.
Sick venue, in summer it's great to come here with friends for a drink outside. I've had brekky here once and they somehow manage to also nail an all day eatery which is pretty rare! Love it

An invitation to Jim's Disco and Spit-Roast Sunday at Dr. Morse was pretty much a guaranteed RSVP for me. Straddling the crossroads of Hoddle St. and Johnston St. on the Abbotsford side, Dr. Morse Bar and Eatery is housed in a handsome space of exposed brick and woodworks that extends to an outdoor bar, where DJs paced the tunes of classic house en plein air. With the weekend menu items hovering around the ten to fifteen dollar benchmark, the eatery ticks all the boxes for a choice Sunday arvo hang.
I went there for coffee and breakfast on a Sunday morning. The coffee was okay, but the breakfast was great! I had the corn cakes and they were definitely different from your typical fritter. The chimichurri dressing makes the dish great.
Location is conveniently located next to Victoria Park train station. Wait service was decent but could be better.
Funky cafe with a large outdoor area which is great when the sun is out. Good selection of food on the menu and they do great coffee. Would definitely recommend.
Great buzzing venue with ample outdoor seating located on the boarder of Abbotsford and Collingwood proper just off Johnson Street. Very good selection of beverages, and a great and varied menu serving aptly matched drinking food. On multiple visits I have not been let down.
Had breakfast here and it was really nice. Pretty basic though from other cafes I've been to. However could not fault the food . The atmosphere inside is great and the staff were also amazing. Breakfast was followed by a doughnut of course which was delicious!
What a fit out. Great location and deceptively big inside. Staff were great. Our meals were pretty good but maybe a little on the small side.
It was pretty good, but gets docked for the terrible value for the price. Portions are far too small. The gnocchi was excellent, but the dumplings disappointing. The best part of the meal was the smoked onion aioli that came with the chips. I could eat a tub of that stuff.
This is my local go to for .. Brunch , pint after work or meeting with friends. It caters for most occasions.
The coffee is superb buttttt the "we only do one size" unless it's in a take away cup is getting a little old...
There is always something new going on with monthly and weekly specials and live music.
The menu is tight but wonderful and the quality of food is brilliant and served quickly.
The staff are attentive, friendly and provide a welcoming atmosphere.
A friend of mine told me about this place. He has so many good words about it, so I needed to see with my own eyes to believe it. And he was right. The food is delicious, the drinks are awesome and the staff is really nice.
It is a really great place. The food is amazing and the drinks, I have no words to describe. I must my friends to this place. They will enjoy it as I enjoyed. I truly recommend this place.
One of my favourite places! I have taken so many people there for meals and drinks and everyone's loved it. Never a bad meal to be had! Changing menu also keeps it fresh. The staff are also lovely. Definitely a must go to place for newbies to be the hood ❤️
THE CHIPS! THE CHIPS! THE CHIPS! ... Those hot chips man are soo good. Especially with the sauce. its like this bacon tasting aioli sauce which i could just drink hahaha. like its amazing. i only went here for drinks but its a pretty nice place. probably better in the summer with its big outdoor area but still pretty nice and semi chill for after work drinks. but if u go....GET THE CHIPS!
Really nice place. I came here with some friends and I wasn't disappointed at all. The drinks are awesome and the staff is very kind. I am going to come more often.
Beeeerrrrz!!!!! These guys have some of the best beers going around. Awesome staff happy to talk you through them as well. Beer garden is great and the themed BBQs are always a winner. Place looks tiny from the front but its actually huge.
I've done all meals here - brekky, lunch and dinner. All have been fabulous although my favourite is to order everything off the menu and share with friends. The beer garden would have to be one of the best winter options in Melbourne. Warm and dry. The staff are always knowledgeable and friendly and have never failed me with wine/beer/food matching. Get there!
Excellent! Great food, casual and friendly service. The beer garden out the back is an awesome space, summer beers anyone? Who would've thought all this is is hidden alongside a train platform in a very neglected part of Abbotsford! Go forth & enjoy
Absolute winner if you want top notch food, drinks and service!! Came here with friends and was treated to a perfect night of delicious food and quality booze. Friendly staff more than happy to point us in the right direction when it came to drink choices to accompany our food.Keep it up Dr Morse - I will be back!
Good coffee, delicious food and a cosy little venue with a great courtyard out the back. The service can sometimes be a bit slow, but they're generally a pretty friendly lot!
The Breakfast items here are somewhat hit and miss, my friend had the fritters which were great, crisp but not dry on the inside which complemented the Tomatoes perfectly.I had the Pork Belly Sandwich which was plain, and dry, for $16 i would have rathered 2 Banh Mi's from a local Vietnamese bakery. Thankfully the Corned Beef Hash (either a special or no longer on the menu, i can't remember which) was great.
Salads and burger have been favourite options for lunch. Difficult to sit a group together out the back. Usually split into smaller tables.
Ordered coffee from the outside window on a weekday morning but was a long wait. Ordered before others then watched them receive theirs first.
Inside is a great space to bring friends for a few quiet drinks.
Sharing menu precisely cooked (beef, mussels, chips), however not to my taste unfortunately with the sauces/seasonings. Wine list was great and simple, including a tasty french white. Desserts were the highlight of the meal with a chocolate fondant tart and mandarin ice cream.
It's all about the mussels and beer here - such a great variety and all so delicious! Nice atmosphere too with a great beer garden for summer.
It was good. The coffee was a little like warm but the chorizo hash was nice. Not a big menu but adequate. A nice space, good service but no wow factor. It would be a nice local if you lived in the area.
Good food, just don't be in a hurry.
I'm a repeat customer to Dr Morse, and the food and the coffee never disappoints, but seriously a 30 minute wait for food at lunch is pushing the limits.
Service is attentive, the bar staff & baristas churn out the drinks, but they leave the kitchen for dead.
One item at a time over the pass from a kitchen with 5 or 6 guys back there is just not acceptable
I come here plenty, always something tasty on the menu, nutritious, and changing with the seasons. A great range of beers and wines to taste from a rotation of breweries and vineyards near and far. The staff are relaxed but efficient. Love this place, so glad it's so close to home. Oh, and the coffee and whatnot will ruin you for anywhere else.
Good joint for sandwiches, burgers, salads.
Nice Coffee. Recently moved into the area and wanted to try the new local cafe - so I stopped by the Jnr Morse window for takeaway coffee and bacon and egg roll. Both were very good - caremlised onion on the roll was very nice. Hopefully be back soon to try out the beer garden.
Friendly and warm atmosphere, great food and wine, and knowledgable and accommodating wait staff. Will return to Dr Morse.
Brunch. Twice visited, warm friendly service from all the (many) staff members. Accommodating to food allergies! Delicious chicken curry jaffle. So glad this bar eatery has opened to spruce up this end of Johnston St.
Great location. This is our go to place when looking for a local coffee. The food is great, menu is interesting and the rotating beer taps are always worth a look.
Loving this place as its close to home and its always got something we want be it coffee, drinks or food.
Love this place! Amazing food, great service & the staff are all so happy & friendly.....all except for one dude. The grumpy moody guy that was working the back bar last night was pretty bad! Did not like the vibe of this guy - he looked like he was hating life & hadn't slept for about 2 days! We were trying to make him smile all night, but it didn't happen. We couldn't believe how rude he was. But alas, we'll be back as we love Dr Morse - hopefully old mate changes his attitude by then!
Great vibe, service and coffee. All good.

Came here a couple of years ago. Food was average "dude food", dropped in for a beer occasionally, but needed a Thursday night meal. Menu has changed dramatically. They are now doing cracking modern Asian dishes. Pork sliders are great, of cheek curry was very good, beautiful aromatic sauce, lots of crispy vegetables. Roti could have had 30 seconds more on the grill for me.
Beer list is great. Full range, and lots of quirky choices (red IPA). Wine list is short, but suits the food, or just sitting down with a bottle.
And it is 500m from home.
Back again: for beef back ribs with corn. Beef ribs are great; chilli sauce "to die for"; corn. Well the corn deserves its own sentence: what committee thought "let's cut in quarters lengthwise and smother it in butter"...so it is impossible to eat? The bearded wankers in the kitchen at Dr Morse - that's who. Order roti with this - beef, corn and roti wraps dipped in chilli sauce. Awesome!
Back again: you can make little roll ups with the roti, corn and beef...
Beef burger. Best burger I have ever had. It sets a new standard.
Fantastic new addition to the Melbourne scene - the fried sardine salad should floor most foodies - strangely no quality mineral water (why not Daylesford if anti import?) a minor point - love the vibe - I'll be back
Great eatery and bar! Great ambiance excellent staff

Good stuff. Headed to Dr Morse with my housemates tonight instead of our usual place as we thought it might be worth giving it a shot. We were correct. The fit out and atmosphere of the place was great! We only just managed to get a table as the place was pretty packed.
We were bit surprised at the menu, which pretty much gave us no other option but to share (which is a bit difficult considering none of us like to share our food haha), however we decided to go with the pork belly, lamb ribs, broccolini and hand cut chips to share between the four of us. The food came out quickly despite how busy it was which was a major plus! Due to a mishap in our order, we received carrots instead of brocolini, however this wrong was quickly righted and we received our brocolini and got to keep the carrots for free! Despite the boys being big eaters, we found it to be a decent amount of food and none of us were left hungry.
The chips and the lamb ribs were my top picks, but in saying that everything was tasty. I can't wait to come back for lunch and try one of their burgers (and possibly some s'mores in a jar for dessert...). The service was great, all the staff were really friendly and the prices were spot on. Absolutely no complaints! Went to Messina for dessert at the suggestion of one of the lovely waitresses and we were glad we did. Thanks for an awesome night - we'll be back!
Best establishment in the North East. Dinner, drinks at the bar, lunch and conga lines. 5 stars.....
Great vibe, food and value. Love the ten dollar burger...great value. The service was great but found the rug ratz on the run a bit scary. The vibe is understated and un pretentious ... We missed the previous milk bar stoners but now feel very fortunate. Staff are lovely ... Especially the waitress who flirted with my 20 yr old son much to his delight... Love the interior design just a stunning transformation. 5 stars
Quality menu. Tried 8 of the dishes on offer. Everything from the melt in the mouth, perfectly seasoned lamb ribs to the sensational s'mores and tantalizing trio of ice creams were perfect. The well heated courtyard on a chilly night made it very enjoyable. Friendly staff and clean fresh yet welcoming decor throughut made it a definite place to return to with friends. Thanks for a wonderful night
Cocktails here are well made. Barmans' cocktail knowledge is fantastic! Food was excellent, try the pig ear! Attentive service. Will def come back.
The Dr does it right. We tried Dr Morse last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The fit out looks great and the space works well. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food, lamb ribs, chips and salad went down very well with a couple of glasses of red. All in all a good night and we will be back. Abbotsford keeps getting better and better.

Open for dinner!!. Went in tonight on their first official open for dinner night.
Food was outstanding and arrived so fast!
We ordered way too much, the plates are definitely designed to be shared, and thinking there would be a wait, as they appeared busy, we ordered and filled up on too many hand cut chips, with our meals arriving right on their tail.
We enjoyed the cured meats, (the pate was devine!), chefs guacamole with bread, fries and salmon duo for entrée. (The sesame salmon outshone the coconut style, but both were tasty.)
For mains we shared the lamb ribs, brisket & lentils, pork belly, carrots(harissa is quite spicy!), and brussell sprouts. The pork belly was rich and crispy and tender all at once, the lamb was flavorsome although a tad dry if you forgot to slather on the delicious eggplant and yoghurt. The highlights for me were the brisket and the brussell sprouts. Doing things old school isn't always bad. Perfectly seasoned lentils, melt in the mouth pulled brisket.... mmmmm
The sprouts are cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of crunch and a delicate sweetness from the craisins and great texture added from the walnuts.
As if we had the room for dessert, we called upon our second stomach reserves to order one of each of the desserts.
The icecream was the winner! All 3 creamy delectable complementary flavors hit the spot perfectly. The honeycomb sprinkle added the right tooth and the ganache filled waffle cone was too much for me to handle! ♡
If you are a super sweet tooth, go the smores in a jar! Chocolately, mellowy, sugary brilliance, so rich only the most avid dessert eater will make it through on their own..(or someone pregnant, in our case)
And the pear did impress also. Fantastic flavors of ginger and raspberry sorbet complement each other deliciously. The only gripe was that there could have been a tad more moisture. (Marscapone perhaps?)
A few minor hiccups with the table service, the wait staff couldn't find our table... Nothing a couple of services won't sort out.
Overall, outstanding!
We'll be back again and again. Keen to try everything this chef has to offer. ;)
I confess I can't go past the excellent pork bahn mi from the hole in wall, but the coffees are also great! Can't wait until they open up. Fantastic arrival in our work hood!
Great take away food nom nom nom. Look forward to your cafe opening. Keep up the good work :)
After hearing so much bou em... great to taste some Ona coffee in Melbourne!! Really can't wait for Dr.Morse to open its doors soon!! Until then, I'm sticking with their takeaways!!
By far the best coffee going round. Definitely grab one whilst your travelling through Victoria Park station.
Had a really good salad and Chai (storm in a teacups recipe!). Expecting big things when these guys open fully end of march!
Teaser. I stopped by the Jr Morse window recently to grab a takeaway coffee and breakfast tart on the way to work. Both were very nice. Looking forward to the rest of the shop opening up.
Real good vibes, smashed a Soft taco and hand cut chips- both really delicious which says a lot considering how common a taco is in Melbourne. Apparently they're making their own habanero hot sauce soon; great to see a cafe not just grabbing the usual suspects from casa iberica!
Juice was a banger too- straight up watermelon!
Have been here a few times now and have always has fantastic service. Great drinks menu and the food is a perfect accompaniment. Atmosphere generally laid back and perfect for lazing away an afternoon and evening. ...
Great Spot, Amazing Coffee. I ordered a coffee and a Bacon and egg roll from Dr Morse's little open Cafe window and it was amazing.
The staff were very kind and they knew exactly what they were doing, I cant wait till this place opens in march.
Dr Morse will be the place to be !!!!
