Lovely little place that serves tasty breakfast + coffee. Cute decor + staff were great. �
First time. Great setting in the old Grocer store. Staff were very friendly and prompt with their service. Ordered brunch and coffee. The omelette looked sensational and tasted as good. The hock ham and cheese toastie was perfection. Coffee is also great served in very distinctive cups. Give this place a try. I will certainly be coming back.
The southern fried chicken burger is amazing!!!
First cafe meal in months and it did not disappoint 🙌
Great cosy cafe in the area.Very friendly service and delicious food.Keep up the good work guys.Your regular happy customer😊
Such a lovely atmosphere. The food looks amazing and tastes even better! Beautiful friendly happy singing staff! Enjoyed my visit very much ❤️
I could like this local gem ...
A bit hidden, only a local would know, despite running parallel with Hoddle St. It seems far from the madding crowd; tree lined street, sunlight, glorious golden hue from those Maple trees leaves. The cafe is housed within this tastefully converted period building, it's "glorious" remnant still intact; high ceiling, big glass windows, indoor and outdoor, and most importantly, they know how to make coffee and Chai latte.
Warm and comfortable, we shall come back to explore more ... I could like this local gem. JT-May 2019.
Friday lunch. Sat in the rear courtyard. Attentive staff. Loved that their table water is sparkling. Iced latte was nice & cool on a warm day. Chicken burger was juicy. Would have preferred the coleslaw in the burger. On the side I forgot to eat it. Roast spuds were a nice change to chips. Unfortunately my friend’s coffee order was forgotten.
Pop in a weekend morning and found the place really chill. Totally recommend coming to try the food, also they do great coffee. I recommend the crab scramble 😋 - great price & serving size.
They also double as a small grocer too!
Cute cafe with great little courtyard out the back. I went for the zucchini and corn fritters with pea purée, a poached egg and bacon. The fritters were really tasty and were super cheesy which was a nice surprise. A very generous portion size too.
Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff,, outdoor eating area makes it dog friendly, green smoothies to die for and fruit toast that will keep us coming back for more.
4.3. Here’s how to do it. This is a lovely bright corner cafe. It has a really nice feel inside and out. It has great outdoor seating options in the right weather. It just has that comfortable friendly aura here. Mavis’ shows that quality of service is key. One of Melbourne’s top cafe owners told me last week that quality of service was the most important thing of all. He’s right. It’s critical. With that in mind I received a joyous greeting here from the server with the white shocked hair, “...how are you, man”. Other customers received, “...how are ya!”, and other similar happy greetings. On being thanked by me for my coffee being delivered to the table, I received a “...no worries, my man”. He is fantastic and he personifies great service. Friendly and engaging with everyone but not intrusive or annoying. Just perfect in fact.
The tables are a bit close together in some spots here. I was sort of part of my neighbours’ convo but neither I nor they minded and we had a quiet chuckle about it. It’s s good menu here. Small but thoughtfully composed. A place to return to. I just had a jaffle today. I couldn’t resist it. One with gruyere and baked beans. A delicious snack complete with crinkle cut chips on the side. The jaffle was delicious. The baked beans are decent beans. Not the usual canned commercial beans. Proper beans. The cheese was delicious too. It was all nicely cooked and presented. I loved it. My long black was a beauty as well. A very good Melbourne coffee. As strong as my last one was weak. With the lovely length that my last one so lacked.
This is a cracking cafe. It’d be near bliss outside here on a nice day. Highly recommended. I shall be back for sure.
My 3 Key Pointers
* I feel at home
* No fuss, simple and that’s all you need sometimes
* Love the juice options
There is something that keeps me coming back. Is the food amazing no but it’s good and never had anything bad, the coffee is good, the juice is good the sandwich options are good. The decor is extremely paired back and nothing flash. Ohhhh wait the service Is really good and I have never had anyone that was not warm and welcoming. That’s what keeps me coming through the door.
Amazing SERVICE! Amazing people and most of all amazing food! Super generous and great flavors!!!! This will be my new regular
Very friendly and good service. Nice coffee. Good food.
Randomly entered Marvis the Grocer for lunch after my business in Abbotsford. Though i did not have any expectations, this little cafe/grocer is fantastic. Plenty of natural lights through big windows, super friendly yet non-intrusive serving staff and great choice of songs in the background. To top it all off, the foods taste amazing with fresh ingredients and the portion is very generous for the price. Highly recommended!
Great coffee and soulful food with humble staff….great overall experience
A really cute place, staff are friendly and has a great vibe to it (with some banging tunes!). The coffee was great, made pretty perfectly. I had the omelette option, not your typical omelette but again, good flavours and a decent portion as well. I recommend checking this place out!

Loved this very groovy cafe. Great food with lots of unusual and seasonal ingredients. Very tasty and perfect coffee to boot. Friendly staff and plenty of seats either inside or out.
