First and foremost, the service was great with very friendly staff. I had their pumpkin smash for breakfast with a couple of flat whites. The food was sensational, and I can't wait to go back again. Their coffee, as one expects in Melbourne, was great.
Definitely worth a visit.
I held a workshop in the private room at Grandpa Joe's and the staff and management were very accommodating! Nothing was too much trouble, our drinks and food were to die for and they even gave me a sample shot of their cold brew coffee. Customer service was fab!
Amazing service. Food came out really quick. Loved the berry bircher. Had heaps of flavour and fulfilling. The soba noodles was also great. Recommend this cafe
Decent coffee, food and service! In terms of prices it’s a little expensive. The menu was a little limited and the cafe itself is on the smaller side. Highly rated the potato hash as an add on!
Regurlaly visit this place - coffee is possibly the best around and staff are always lovely. Specials board is regularly updated but standard menu also has wide variety
I enjoy going to Grandpa Joe. The staff are lovely. Its small, very inviting and the coffee is great. The menu is limited but it’s good. Slightly more expensive than I would expect but it’s a smaller business and I don’t mind paying a few bucks extra because it’s peaceful and not pretentious.
I just come here for the coffee. It's a small venue so you will struggle to get a seat on weekends. Good beans, good vibes. Friendly staff. Great little local.
Popped in off the street for brunch and had a very enjoyable time. Atmosphere was nice and relaxed, not too noisy and unpretentious. Staff were very friendly. Coffee was great, perfect temperature. They had lots of specials, I ordered the smashed avo with feta, dukkah and poached eggs off the board, with a side of potato hash. The hash was amazing, good sized serving and yummy. My other food was yummy too. My partner had a mix of poached eggs and sides and was very happy with his meal.
I would like to see some more vegetarian options, all the savoury breakfast dishes on the regular menu seemed to have bacon or salmon with them. That said, I didn't order off the menu so have no knowledge of whether they are willing to sub out meat for vego options or not (so it hasn't affected this review). All in all a very pleasant brunch.
One of my best brunch experiences in a while - had the chilli scrambles with kranski sausages, amazing!
Friendly staff and an awesome menu, was tough to pick a dish!
Highly recommend.

Cute little venue which is always busy located on Ascot Vales main street. Coffee has been hit and miss here from my past experiences which is unfortunate.
Last time I (Nic) visited which was quite some time go again now (in the scheme of the life of a business) and they had a card limit which sucks when you're trying to just order a takeaway coffee. Happy to adjust my review accordingly if that has changed recently.
Breakfast bun and potato hash combo was so satisfying! The potato hash in particular is amazing. My soy flat white was good, too. Service is very friendly, lots of options on the menu to choose from, my curiosity to try these (and have some more of the potato hash) will likely see me return.
My favourite cafe in union road. I'm not a big fan of breakfast - but these guys have a good menu for non -egg fans! Everything is fresh and made in house- service is good and food is always tasty.
