My husband and I are regulars of Lenny's and have still been visiting during this period for takeaway coffees and delightful treats. Whilst the coffee is delicious, unfortunately the last couple of times we've visited our large coffees have not even been close to full which is pretty disappointing as you should be given what you've paid for!! I hope they rectify this asap. Apart from this I definitely recommend stopping by.
The duck was ducking good! But the waffle definitely needs some improvement 🤭
FOOD: I ordered the Duck & Waffle and the duck was DEFINITELY the star of the show. The duck marinated really well and not dry but the waffle was super dry. The waffle was abit too hard and I’m not sure it thats their intention but it definitely wasn’t too pleasant to eat. The egg was a cute touch and the salad was really really refreshing! In all honestly, if the waffle was abit more moist, it would have been a PHENOMENAL dish
SERVICE: Not too good. The servers were abit unfriendly but still efficient.
Always good to find a place that understands black coffee! Thankyou, I’ll definitely be back.
Been here a few times for breakfast now & always blown away with perfect coffees & amazing food. You’ll thank yourself later when ordering the Green Breaky Bowl.
Highly recommend!
Lenny has a welcoming light modern stylish decor. Service is superb and quick. Love the chilli scramble eggs. Becoming a local favorite.

My Key Three Pointers
* Beach brunch spot
* Calm tranquil vibe
* Indoor and Outdoor seating
Situated on a corner in Albert Park this place is eye catching. It has a calm tranquil vibe. Even though the beach is not in view you can definitely feel the beach breeze.
The menu is super fresh and if you love super foods, then I’m sure you will find something on the list. I’m not super health conscious and I don’t usually gravitate towards a bowl but considering I just walked 10k I felt the need to order the Green breaky bowl. This was a turning point for me and I’ll be exploring these bowls more often. It was delicious, I was sold on the word golden halloumi but the green seasonal produce with honey, almonds and the perfect poached egg was the standout. My little man also enjoyed his vegimite, cheese toasty.
The Coffee was not cold, not super hot, not a cup of milk and not burnt. Just perfect. I felt super relaxed and loved everything about this cafe. Not to mentioned they have a changing table for little ones in the toilets. Win win win
It’s a tough world out there for Melbourne cafes - not only do you have to offer incredibly delicious food and drool worthy coffee, but it seems that must also offer insta-worthy dishes that could easily form part of a new exhibit at MONA. Luckily for Lenny 3206 on Victoria Ave in Albert Park, it hits this high mark. With items such as eggs benny served on a potato hash with crackle dust, and Japanese inspired okonomiyaki with a poached egg, Lenny’s breakfast menu ventures from your standard brekki fare. On this occasion I ordered the smashed avacado with grated broccoli and ricotta salata ($18). Fresh, healthy and delicious - as a lover of smashed avacado this interesting (and refreshing) take on the dish certainly didn’t disappoint.
I was pleasantly surprised with Lenny, as I hadn’t heard of it before but came along after my friends suggestion. The service was great, they were very attentive, and also very friendly. The waitress also helped me out with a menu choice, and I decided to go with the okonomiyaki, which was absolutely delicious and bursting with bold flavours. My coffee was also really enjoyable. Definitely a worthwhile venture.
Visited Lenny twice and ordered the same thing - almond latte and the duck waffles! The coffee is delicious, nice and smooth even with almond milk. I love all the components to the duck waffle dish- the duck meat is tender and the salad is so refreshing. If I was a local I would probably come here everyday for the coffee! Recommended.
A family friendly brunch place serving excellent food and coffee. Good for family with baby and young kids, there are plenty of baby chair stacking in the corner. I’d highly recommend the duck & waffle and it seems it’s one of the favourite. Coffee is from 5senses. Service is friendly and efficient.

A bright, warm & inviting cafe! Very minimalistic and modern fit out in beautiful Albert Park.
DISH #1 Blueberry compote, hazelnut, vanilla bean mascarpone!
THE TASTE: Oh my gosh these pancakes were next level fluffy! How is it possible to have such fluffy and thick pancakes?! The hazelnuts worked well with the vanilla bean mascarpone, the nuts really balancing out this dish ~ and it wasn’t sweet on sweet which is what we loved about it!
DISH #2 Green Breaky Bowl ~ Raw seasoned greens & herbs, roasted pepitas & almonds, avocado, chilli, buckwheat, crispy halloumi, honey dressing & a poached egg! 🌶🍳 SCROLL 👉🏻 for Chocolate, Crunchy Peanut Butter Smoothie ~ omg!!! This dish had it all going on for me!
THE TASTE From the perfectly cook egg to the crispy crumbed halloumi, herbs & nuts - this was a well rounded rish. Very nourishing and fresh!
If you love PEANUT BUTTER...Definitely order this amazing smoothie, you’ll thank me later! It was rich, creamy and was hard to stop drinking really! An amazing drink I’d certainly go back to visit.
Definitely order these if you come to @lenny_3206 💖👌🏽
Came here on a Sunday and it was busy but still seats available. Interiors is really nice, very relaxing calm music perfect for a hangover! Service was great and ordered the eggs Hollandaise which was really nice, potato hash could have been a tad crispier but otherwise a really yummy meal. Coffee was great too!
Duck and waffle
Meal rating - 3.9/5
Next visit - Probably
Slow cooked duck leg amazingly crispy and flavourful, with herb and cheese waffle. Apple salad on the side with maple syrup and a fried egg. Perfect meal for a lazy Saturday afternoon!
My first visit to the cafe Lenny. Located at the heart of South Melbourne. Overall I enjoyed my meal but could be quite busy if you are visiting on a weekend and might have a long wait, so plan ahead.
Lenny has a gorgeous atmosphere with even better food! Their smashed avo is delicious and a bit different which I like! Their coffee is great and service was fantastic too. Beautiful little cafe in the heart of Albert Park 😍

A contender in the brunch scene.
(Invitational)
The place is really cute, with options to sit inside or outside with a shade. We sat outside for good lighting but then gave up and moved inside due to the wind. Service was friendly and food came out pretty quick.
Starting with drinks, I'd say the soy matcha was just okay. The matcha wasn't as strong as I'd like it to be, and the soy not as milky. My friend had their Ms Omega and I had a sip, we were not a fan as it tasted pretty weird it's hard to explain.
Food though was a different story.
The duck and waffle was easily one of the best brunch dishes I've had, the duck crispy but juicy, and so was the waffle, it was not heavy and they both compliment each other really well. The egg and salad completed the combo, with sweet honey sauce that's addicting.
The green salad was great. I love the combination of all the components in there, topped with crispy haloumi and we added cured salmon, which were good except that it was a bit fishy.
Lastly, the pancake was just amazing. It was not too dense, and bit crunchy on the surface. The mascarpone, caramelized hazelnut and vanilla mascarpone just made the dish a worthy sweet dish.
Overall, I'm impressed. The food was amazing, though the drinks could be improved.

Award winning interior design combines with a healthy and interesting menu at Lenny. It’s unapologetically Albert Park in all it’s beachy glory while keeping it real with food to fill a hungry tummy, always a good choice.
Somehow got a day off today and decided to visit Lenny.
Beautiful setup, breezy and clean feeling. Love the white walls! Sat outside to enjoy the last bit of "summer sunshine". No one saw me for quite a bit I guess I wasn't obvious enough. Made my appearance to the counter and a lovely waitress came and served me.
Ordered the fish burger with sweet potato chips, food came out fairly quick. Loved the salad and the sweet potato chips. Brioche bun was milky in a nice way. Very yummy! Such a beautiful afternoon!
Absolutely loved my felafel wrap, very fresh and tasty. Was soooo delish! Beautiful, warm & welcoming decor and layout. Lovely friendly staff ❤️

I visited the beautiful Lenny cafe in Albert Park for a delicious brunch spread. The exterior reminded me of modern milk bar style and the interior was absolutely beautiful. Perfect for its proximity to the beach & a good size for plenty of seating. I ordered the grains with almond milk and was not disappointed it was an extremely delicious yet simple dish that had me full most of the day. My sister ordered the hot cake and absolutely loved it, she said it was super fluffy and tasted amazing! Definitely one of my favourite cafes in Melbourne and the location just makes it even better!
Really love Lenny, its quiter then expected on a Sunday arvo.
We really enjoy our dishes. The corn fritter has a great combination of flavours and textures. The beetroot sour cream and the fruit mint salad make the dish lighter and gave the oilly deep fried fritter a great balance.
The confit duck and waffle was a good one too, the duck leg was perfectly cooked and the meat was juicy and with a very sweat flavour. The waffle was savoury based with Chrissy bits and herbs in it.
Our coffee was great too, I would say it was better then the one we had at Moby.
Not far from the refreshing breezes of Port Phillip Bay lies this ideal spot for weekend brunch. The menu is just big and diverse enough to cater for different preferences. A friendly staff helped me choose the duck and waffle - one of their most loved dishes.
I get excited about innovative sweet and savoury combinations. The crispy duck leg was still tender on the inside. The cheese topped waffles, fried egg, apple and greens salad had a sweet maple syrup drizzled throughout. They had the balance just right - any more would've been sickening and any less the combination wouldn't have quite worked.
The light, modern decor created a bright, spacious and welcoming feel. Attentive and smiling service throughout the visit completed this experience. A good place to return on this side of town.

I came to Lenny’s for brunch yesterday on the Public Holiday (Labour Day) Monday at about 9.30-10am and really enjoyed it! I was surprised that it wasn't packed but as we sat down it did eventually get more filled. The interiors were bright, clean, modern and very inviting. The weather was good so we sat outside and got served almost immediately.
As it was a Public Holiday there was a surcharge of 15% on the menu. I did like that special menus were printed out specifically for the day, noting this price increase and adjusting all menu items to include the surcharge. This took out the guesswork from later calculating the bill.
We ordered our coffees as we looked through the menu. I liked how the menu read - lots of variety and options, I was actually quite torn on what to order.
Once our coffees (a long black and an almond latte) came back, we ordered a Chilli Scrambled Eggs on GF toast and the Open Omelette (from the lunch section) with a side of Rye toast. Our food didn't take too long to arrived and were delicious!
I absolutely enjoyed my scrambled eggs (although I asked for it without the parmesan). It wasn't overly greasy which I was worried about as it was cooked with bacon mixed through it. The sriracha chilli was also not overly sweet and gave the right balance of salty and spicy in each mouthful. I really like the GF bread - it was nutty and rich but crunchy and toasted really well.
My partner really enjoyed his Open Omelette and commended the flavours. We were both thoroughly satisfied and satiated after our meal! We would definitely come back for more.
I'm always on the hunt for great brunches not too far away in the city, so Lenny was perfect. I ordered the Waffles and Duck which were drizzled with a sweet, fragrant maple syrup. The crisp duck was perfectly tender on the inside. The waffles, slightly topped with a cheese mix also contributed to the diversity of flavours to the dish. Although the apple salad was quite refreshing in its own right, I still felt that the dish could be balanced a little better as the maple syrup, though fragrant, became a tad sickening when it's drizzled all over the dish. Overall though, great brunch experience! The interiors were modern and pretty to look at too!
Really love this place. Simple menu with excellent fresh food. Great place to take a baby. Staff are always friendly. Highly recommend if in the area
Came here on the weekend, and absolutely looked the interior of the venue from the word go.
Coffee by 5 senses was solid, and the menu was very modern Australian, with a tasty eggs Jenny made with ham hoc
We came to Lenny’s for brunch and absolutely loved it! The food was outstanding and still leaves me wanting to go back for more.
We opted for the duck and waffles and the green brunch, the duck was cooked nicely, tender with crispy skin, not too fatty. The waffles was sweet and complimented the meat and fried egg well
The star of our brunch was however definitely the green brekky bowl, the mixture of raw greens and nuts and dressings was so superb , the perfect flavour combo with the most interesting textures. The crispy haloumi on top was just a treat , we added cured salmon with this dish and it just elevated this dish to another level. I have never enjoyed such a healthy meal so much !
We also ordered a side of hash brown and although it was delicious, it was our least favourite item we ate ( very rare as fried potato is always amazing)
Thanks so much for having us!
Lenny has some amazing food that look good and tastes even better - plus their interior is on point (love how much natural light they have)!
I ordered their cheeseburger, green brekkie bowl and ricotta hotcake. My fave was definitely their ricotta hotcake - it was SO LIGHT AND FLUFFY, I highly recommend that you guys order this. The green brekkie bowl had fried halloumi, which was a fun change.
For drinks I got the chai and Mr Lenny smoothie (banana, cacao, crunchy peanut butter). The smoothie is one of the yummiest I’ve tried and would definitely order it again.
From the duo that brought us Moby 3143, newly opened Bayside eatery Lenny 3206, is the perfect weekend spot for a beachy brunch.
Just a hop and a skip away from the beach the venue is stunning with bright walls, natural light and earthy tones to create a truly welcoming atmosphere.

Lenny is a lovely, modern cafe located in the Albert park area. The place is clean and the decoration is easy to the eyes.
We were invited in to try their food and we had a great meal at Lenny. We started off with cold brew coffee and cold press watermelon, pineapple, mint. They were both really refreshing and enjoyable. For food, first, we had the chilli scrambled eggs with extra haloumi. The eggs were already so good, but the haloumi brought it to another level. We also had the waffle & duck. Who would have though that duck would go so well with waffle. It was unique and delicious. Lastly we had the poke bowl, which another great dish.
Totally recommend this place.
Nice, bright, beachy cafe right down the street from my work. Had the green breaky bowl which is absolutely delicious. The citrusy honey dressing and crunchy almonds made the dish. A perfectly poached egg and chunk of haloumi added just the substance it needed (although I wouldn't complain if the haloumi slab were bigger 😏). Got a soy flat white that was so good I had to order another. Unfortunately the second accidentally came out with cow's milk so my stomach ended up a bit upset (felt bad sending it back). Overall though, my experience at Lenny was impressive.

Lenny is located in a gorgeous classic building in Albert Park a little away from the water views. The cafe has a modern feel with bifold windows that can be opened up on sunny days to really bring the outdoors inside.
We sat on the tables outside and arrived a little ahead of the pack on cup eve Monday. We ordered lattes and our request for a strong almond latte was delivered perfectly, strong and incredibly creamy.
Today we chose the green breaky bowl, it was an absolute winner, the seasonal greens with avocado and buckwheat where kept crunchy with the roasted almonds and pepitas. I loved the inclusion of seriously fresh herbs and the honey dressing. Today my order came with a poached egg, haloumi and my added cured salmon. The salmon was lovely and thick and cured to perfection. I really enjoyed each mouthful, depending on which protein I added it was like having many meals in one.
Off the specials I chose the Banh mi breakfast roll which contained fried egg, bacon, yellow cheese, kewpie mayo, house made bbq sauce and pickles on the side. I no way was this a real banh mi in any way whatsoever but that didn’t stop me loving this tasty breakfast roll. Would defiantly order again... that yellow cheese was a huge reason why I loved this so much and the gooey yolk from the fried egg was another.
For dessert we shared cookies n cream ricotta hot cake. This giant hot cake was paired perfectly with a white chocolate glaze, peach gel and an awesome chocolatey cookie crumble, vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries. It was cooked with a lovely crunch on the outside and soft ricotta filling on the inside, the inclusion of all the sweet elements on this dish was the perfect accompaniment to the ricotta.
There is a lot to like about Lenny’s and we really appreciated the invite to try out their menu.
Awesome place for brunch. Have visited several times, food is always consistent and delicious! I particularly like the smashed avo, really simple and really tasty. The eggs Benedict is pretty delish also.

On a bright and sunny day, I discovered in Lenny a beautiful sun-drenched space that serves up great food and coffee, and excellent hospitality.
The cookies and cream hotcakes was not too sweet, yet naughty enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. The berries and the cream were light on the palate, and balanced out the richness of the thick yet soft hotcakes. I would have liked the cookie soil to be more chunky, so as to give an element of crunch, but that's a trivial matter.
Also delicious was the chilli scrambled eggs. A good kick from the chillies, a sharp bite from the fried scallions, plus the saltiness of the bacon bits. A simple dish that was executed well.
The skinny latte was wonderfully smooth and strong, and the iced latte did not disappoint either. All 3 cups of coffee that we had were consistent in quality.
I'm surprised that the crowd has yet to descend onto Lenny, seeing that Lenny not only has the looks, but also the substance to back it up.
A good replacement to Birdman Eating. Descent coffee, delicious menu and good service. The breakfast options were cooked with perfectionism and done with a little creative flair. Fair in portions also. Albert Park was majorly in need of some new quality additions so I am pleased with this one!
Lenny’s is my new favourite cafe in Albert Park. The decor is perfectly suited to the area with high ceilings and bold light fixtures that add character and charm. The coffee is solid and the food delicious. The smashed avocado was delectable and beautifully presented. The service could do with some fine tuning as it was a little impersonal and not as welcoming one would expect. A smile and a warm greeting goes a long way.
Light and spacious cafe with broad menu. I went for the pumpkin hummus bowl which came with lamb kofta, roasted and pickled vegetables, pomegranate seeds and pine nuts. A vibrant and tasty dish. Coffee was nice too.
One of the best smashed avos I’ve had in Melbourne! This cafe is amazing! The staff are fantastic and even though it’s so busy they are still super attentive and friendly. $23 for a latte and smashed avo. Can’t wait to return!

Anything on the menu that is Japanese inspired will always catch my eye and i was pretty hungry today and confit salmon & soba noodles was my order. I started with a matcha latte which was a nice as expected and in keeping with my chosen Japanese theme. When my salmon arrived my eye was immediately drawn to the skin and heavenly crispy it was! The broccolini soaked up the miso broth, the noodles were good and i enjoyed the taste and texture of the slightly bitter wombok against the miso broth. It was a good dish with the salmon starring but the miso broth was just too subtle, not enough flavour and let the meal down. My friend ordered the pumpkin hummus bowl and loved it and was equally a beautiful plated dish. He ordered the chai tea but was delivered the chai latte which was disappointing. I'll be back as want to try some of the other items on the menu. This is a classic modern Australia cafe with a stunning fitout and plenty of north facing outdoor seating. Also can't complain about the service with staff extremely friendly.
Salmon soba noodles from Lenny was delish, although the service was a bit weird... they were friendly enough, but when I asked for high chair they just plonk it near the table, or when my kid spilt water they managed to put down cutlery, then drinks then food but still, they didn’t manage to notice and clean the table. That being said I would love to visit again because the food was seriously yummy.

Coffee was very good and the food was amazing!!! The food is beautiful, very tasty and the flavours and textures are very combined! You should try!!! Thanks for the amazing food and coffee!!!
Everything looks amazing and from what I got it tasted amazing too!
The green breaky bowl appealed to my August health kick diet and boy did it deliver. Any dish that makes kale taste delicious and involves crusted halloumi is a massive plus. The food is fresh and flavours are there at Lenny’s. Desperate to try the hotcakes next time they looked amazing.
Awesome spot and even more awesome food! A great experience at Lenny, beautiful beachy decor and delicious coffee. I had the green breaky bowl and it was probably the best breakfast bowl I’ve had! Will definitely be back!
New brunch restaurant in a lovely area. So much good stuff on the menu and the two we ordered (duck waffle and lamb kofta with veg and hummus) were delicious and so different to other brunch places. Recommend and would return.
New kid on the block, there have been a through incarnations at Lenny’s new home but I think this one is here to stay, with sunny smiles and a cool new fit out we loved hanging out with Lenny for brunch. The menu was a plethora of choices from the familiar to the more exotic and I was stuck negotiating with myself what would be the best! The bahn mi breakfast roll sounded so good with a fried egg, bacon, yellow cheese, Kewpie mayo, house made bbq sauce, and pickles. Or the Chilli scrambled eggs with Sriracha chilli, bacon, scallions, parsley, parmesan and toast YUM!
Yum yum yum!
Duck & waffle - slow cooked duck leg, herb & cheese waffle, apple salad, juniper infused maple syrup & fried egg. The duck was cooked to perfection, the salad was fresh and the waffle could have used a bit more herbs but the cheese complimented it well. I would have liked less maple syrup as it did get a tad too sweet for my liking and there was a bit of a clash in sweet and savoury. But I still enjoyed it
Confit salmon & soba noodles - with broccolini, wombok, chilli, toasted sesame & miso broth. Now you can't stuff this one up and thankfully they didn't. Everything was well balanced and fresh!
Definetly will be back to try the rest of the menu.
Their green bowl was to die for - hands down best halloumi I've ever had! Menu is a little on the expensive side but food & service were great. Interior is stunning!
I have been here a couple of times because the taste of coffee is amazing!
In terms of food, I have only grab a small bite, so want to try having lunch somday!
Lovely place for brunch. Bright and airy. Coffee is good. Love the menu for a light brunch or lunch.
I had an Okonomiyaki and will be back to try other dishes.
Nice lively venue with friendly service. I had the eggs benny, which was ok, I should have read the menu better as I found the potato hash a little light and the apple slices kind of got in the way. My partner had the chilli scramble that probably would have been better on sourdough.
Great cafe in middle park. Plenty of seating inside and out. Inside was nice and warm on a cold July day. Staff were friendly. Hot chocolate was a nice big cup! Only had a ham cheese tomato toasted sandwich but other options looked great. Lovely atmosphere. Will return!
Many thanks to Andrew and the team at Lenny’s! Absolutely love this place. Their Mork Hot Chocolate is the best. Lenny’s recently catered an event for me - their Brunch Boxes are divine! Highly recommend Lenny’s.
Really nice food. Friendly staff, tasty coffee.
