Delicious food, great coffee. Wonderful take away bread and pastries. Fabulous service!
An example of the great service: Went in to get my weekly coffee & baguette on a Saturday morning (to make breakfast at home), unfortunately they were already sold out but the team went out of their way to find one (which they had out back to make sandwiches) and gave it to us - saving the day!
Thankyou Hapsburg! Our local for breakfast, brunch, lunch and an Aperol Spritz on a sunny afternoon. Specials board and seasonal menus keep eating interesting. We had the smoked salmon on rye, perfectly cooked steamed egg and pickle. The space is light and embracing. On sunny days the tilt windows are opened onto bridport street bathing the room in a gorgeous glow. If you can nab a table in the corner window on the banquette you will never want to leave - keep drinking great coffee and chill.
This cafe has slowly gotten better and better over the past few months having lifted their game. Once a quite place for brunch , it’s now packed and you sometimes struggle to get a table straight away. Food is prepared fresh and the menu board changes regularly. Great coffee and quick friendly service. Today I had the corn fritters with ham and tomato relish. A great breakfast or lunch spot with an outside pet friendly area. One of my favourite local spots
Enroute to the library, we came upon Hapsburg Empire, naturally My mini and I had to pop on in to try it's offerings plus it was time for Mini's daily ritual (a baby chino) Their all day menu is extensive as is their drinks menu, a plus in my book.
I was tempted to sample one of their daily specials - a slow cooked lamb shank on barley risotto with steamed baby sprouts.. Meaty fall off the bone, melded melt in your mouth goodness. Just what was needed on a cold Melbourne morn!
The service was sufficient enough, the staff smiled at appropriate intervals but I can't say they were overly friendly or chatty. However, none the less I'd still revisit this little hot spot not to mention the non stop footfall it's a pretty popular spot with the locals.
Very friendly staff and a nice assortment of well made food.
Typical ambience is being sat surrounded by activewear-bound, gossipy housewives native to Albert Park. Typically seen pushing their bugaboo prams with Cavoodle/ at heel.
I take particular relish in lighting up a ciggy upwind.
Checked out the Hapsburg Empire in Albert Park on a Saturday afternoon recently. I had the smashed avo with mini tomatoes, goats curd, eggs, coriander and siracha. It was quite nice, love the touch of coriander!
Old school milkshakes, giant cookies, delicious chai lattes and more at this gorgeous cafe in Albert park. The deco is very girlie with pink walls and floral plates on the wall. Great range of treats, sandwiches, salads and drinks on the menu.
Don't know about your tastes Nathan but Christian and his crew have some of the the best coffee and certainly some of the best food going in cafes around about. Christian's wife and partner is a brilliant and inventive cook with daily taste delights, the staff are great and the corner spot a winner. Lori
It's a cute venue with plenty of outdoor seating. Coffee is ok but nothing to write home about. Didn't have time for food but the menu didn't really Juno out at me.
Been here a couple of times now whenever I'm feeling like a chocolate milshake- it has become my go to place. However every time I am there I end up buying some food since everything in the display looks so appetising! And I was not wrong, from what I have had so far the food is great, the goat curry pastie is a personal favourite. Definitely a place to stop by.
First time visit during lockdown. Love the place with plenty parking spaces around, friendly staff and tasty coffee, great place for meeting friends after lockdown. Will definitely return ~
Just discovered this little cafe and really like it. It’s a lovely cozy space, staff are really friendly, food was delicious and didn’t take too long to get and the hot chocs are amazing. Little on the expensive side, but will definitely be coming back!
I come here often for lunch and it’s always great, today was no exception! I haven’t had anything from here that wasn’t delicious- my favourite are the pork and lamb toasties, and the chai here is not just a drink, it’s an experience.
Outdoor seating is great too with cushions available, and on sunny days they open the big windows which is really cool.
The staff are generally great too, always up for mad bants.
The one thing stopping this review from being 5 stars is that sometimes they take a while to bring your food or coffee, especially when it’s busy, but honestly unless you’re in a hurry it’s really worth the wait!
Toilets available: yes
Wheelchair accessible: no
Beautiful place, fresh breads and pastries. Coffee is great especially when Christian makes it 👌
I've lived in the Albert Park area for a long time and somehow only just in the past few weeks managed to try this place and OMG it's excellent. The breakfast menu is fantastic and the pre-prepaired lunch foods on off are really beautiful good coffee and friendly staff you can be assured I'll be back
Not just a cafe, it's a legendary cafe. The food is seriously delicious and artisan in its presentation. The staff are fast, charming and genuinely nice. Great location and perfect for a long lunch (out of lockdown) or a quick takeaway bite.
Personal service, pleasant atmosphere, plenty of newspapers, on shared table
