Review Webster's Market And Cafe - Ballarat

Great place for a breakfast or a brunch, the food is very good, tasty dishes, good coffee and fast service. The cafe it's well located, nice and spacious. The staff is very friendly and the prices are okay as well. Highly recommendable

I went a trip to Ballarat, I got a good and nice friend when I was walking along the lake. She highly recommended this café(thank you so much, Olivia’s mum😘), I just went there right away. So good coffee and nice staff👍 I went there two days in a row. Thanks for your kind service.

Webster's Cafe is a cute bistro located obviously on Webster Street not too far from the lake. It offers fair pricing for extraordinary food and experience. Definetly a new favourite added to my books and would absolutely visit again. Do yourself a favour and have a coffee at Websters Cafe.

We had a Sunday brunch after a long time. I have been hearing good reviews from my colleagues and I was wanting to try out. The staff had been so welcoming and accommodating. I had to prepond my booking and they were able to make that changes. The environment was comfortable and aesthetically appealing. The menu had good options and we tried few items and they were all yummy. Was a beautiful experience and we enjoyed it :)

Highly recommend! I went during Easter break and they were so busy on that day. However the staff were very friendly and the service was fast. Ordered the mushroom panini with scrambled egg on the side. The scrambled egg was absolutely amazing! Will definately go back if I visit Ballarat next time

Waffles are the perfect balance of sweetness, sourness and pure deliciousness! Possibly the best waffles I’ve had. Beef baguette also highly recommended! In addition the service was on point! The staff were super accomodating. Having only 20 minutes to eat we preordered ahead and arrived with the food on the table! After just 1 visit, you’ll definitely become a regular! Don’t wait too late in the day to have food though, as they’re so popular the may run out!

Stylish cafe with amazing food and coffee. The glass windows are simply spectacular. Just a bit noisy when crowned.

A beautiful cafe in residential area. Good atmosphere, and many amazing photos are displayed. Latte art was amazing as well!

Honestly, a good job.. done well. Can't bring myself to give a 4* rating as 5 stars is a more accurate description of the 4.5 stars it deserves. The goods; best coffee in ballarat hands down and a critically perfect meal that comprised of house cure salmon, kids toastie, mushroom, kale polenta ~ amongst all the else.. btw.. did i mention, best (slow to serve, but worth the wait) coffee in ballarat. The downs; asked for an inside table on a wintery day.. when one becomes available.. yet watched two seperate groups of four leave while we sat outside in the cold. Surely first in best dressed particularly when such is requested. * a few other grumbles not worth mentioning but gives you, the reader an insight to just how good everything else was to still highly recommend this proud establishment as 'the place' to dine for a world class late breakfast, coffee stop or lesuirely chat over lunch. Well done to all the team and in particular the mentors directing such a purposeful and worthwhile venture her in our humble lityle ballarat town. Big props and a happy 5 stars. ;-)

Absolutely the best coffee in town, staff are awesome, food amazing with many making the comment "best breakfast I've ever had" me included. What a lovely place to sit and enjoy the surroundings and the best part is that it's our neighbour. Don't be the last to try Webster's and its worth waiting for a table if it's busy. Cheers all & thanks for the great service & food.

The food was beautiful. We had the breakfast platter and pumpkin bruschetta. Unfortunately there was one waitress who should have stayed home in bed as she was quite abrupt, however, the rest of the staff were terrific.

Great coffee 👍 Excellent food and interesting menu, well worth a visit. Thanks for a great breakfast 🍳

Had the Webster's breakfast was amazing. Customer service amazing! Down to earth staff great atmosphere highly recommend will be coming back!!

Awesome food, did not disappoint. Was looking forward to the duck waffle but it’s off the menu. Good service and coffee. Will be back, cheers!

I've been to nearly every coffee shop in Ballarat and this is my favourite. Friendly service, great coffee and the friands are the best I've had anywhere. I order my coffee with the skip app and have never had to wait in store for more than a few minutes. Keep up the good work :)

Wandered in for a coffee and carrot cake during Sunday lunch rush... busy and under the pump and the service was genuinely friendly and attentive. The staff were smiling and the place had a great vibe.. the coffee was superb (and I’m a coffee snob) and the cake delicious.. impressed enough to sit in the car out front and write a review �

I had the Brioche french toast and quite frankly it was the best breakfast that I have ever eaten. Well done Webster's. The service was fantastic also.

Despite being super busy, the service was friendly and efficient and the food? The food was superb. Thank you for an excellent brunch!

Travelling back to Queensland and would have to say it was the best coffee I have ever had and the staff were so welcoming.

Amazing breakfast will be back again that’s for sure. Hats down to all the great cooks and well mannered staff

Great coffee,highland brunch of poached eggs,black pudding and smoked salmon was scrumptious.....partner had a Webster’s brekkie ,also tasty.....friendly staff...great leafy location,parking not a problem.

Amazing food. Seriously talented chef. Wait staff are lovely. Have café-d around the world and this little gem is world class! Thank you!!

What a gem of a place! Very cosy and comfy cafe, amazing food, sensational coffee and happy staff. Highly recommended spot for lunch.

Seems like a nice cozy spot, but I’d reconsider if you don’t have a good solid hour. 40+ minutes for a toasted sandwich (from seating to service) and then being told to wait another 5-7mins for a halloumi afterwards is stretching it. I’ll definitely give it another go regardless. Think we just got unlucky, watching the tables next to us feast on what looks to be a brilliant breakfast (arrived well after us and have all their food... while we are still waiting for some cheese). This is getting worse. Update: also forgot about the bill after asking about it; had to walk out to pay. These guys are seriously disinterested.

My husband and I have eaten here a couple of times. Food, coffee and service have all been fantastic both times. High quality ingredients and thoughtful presentation. Would definitely recommend and will definitely pop in more regularly.

Little brunch place on a road lined with grand old homes. My strong cappuccino was nice to start but my bircher muesli was delicious! First time I’ve ever ordered muesli at brunch ($17) but it was really nice and not too heavy to start the day.

Full Webster's breaky is a must! $25 and you get two slices of toast, 2 eggs, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, potato and bacon! Delicious. Great breakfast / lunch joint near the lake.

Nice small cafe... located in residential area on tree lined Webster Street. lots of natural light. Nice atmosphere. We enjoyed coffee and wine. Good service

We came to Webster as we were quite impressed with the  Industry Beans coffee that were using so we were hoping for some great coffee. And so we walked in on a crisp Sunday morning and as expected, the place was pumping. There were a few people waiting for their take aways and some other for no apparent reason.<br/><br/>From the moment we walked in, we felt lost. We didn't know whether to approach a waiter (in fact, we shouldn't, we should have been approached to) and so we proceeded to go to the counter and order at the till where everyone was ordering their take aways.<br/><br/>We ordered our coffees at the till and asked whether we could have them there and we were given a table at the back by a very polite and smiley girl.<br/><br/>We had our coffee which was slightly spilt on the cup. The coffee was not what we expected. One of our flat whites were too flat and the other with a lot of crema (more like a latter in a cup) which reflects some poor spilling milk skills.<br/><br/>After quickly sculling that, we ordered some batch brew. That one wasn't great too and it had some aftertaste which we couldn't really understand what it was.<br/><br/>And so we ended up back in Brunswick for the real deal at Industry Beans. :)

Been here a few times and the food is always great. Classic breakfast/brunch menu options, with a unique spin and plenty of healthy options.  The serving sizes are quite generous. The coffee and tea is nice too. <br/>The service could be better, we had to find our own menus as the wait staff seemed to disappear after we were seated on our first visit. On our second we had to ask to have our table wiped as the waiter who took our order just didn't clean up the mess from the previous customers.

Stopping here for breakfast on the way to the Grampians was a good idea. <br/><br/>We weren’t expecting very much coming from Melbourne but this cafe definitely has some inner city charm to it. (Think Fitzroy area) <br/><br/>Unique spins on classic breakfast dishes, good coffee and Bee gees playing at 7a.m. Sets you up for a good day. <br/><br/>Service was friendly and the cafe had a nice layout and rustic feel to it.

Didnt expect such a gem brunch place in Ballarat! They used industry bean coffee and double shot latte was full bodied. We got a broiche french toast with scramble egg on the side and a websters breakfast. The figs and candied bacon was good but toast could be more fluffy. Overall good mixtures of sweet and sour (from the cream to top). The scramble egg was buttery and good texture. The big breakfast was one of the best I ever had. The mushroom was nicely done in olive oil, tomato was juicy, poached egg had nice sprinkles of salts. Generous portion too in the big breakfast with 2 eggs and 2 bread. Feeling so full and satisfied from the brunch!

Really good coffee! But the breakfast lacked substance... for the price they are charging, I expected a whole lot better! I ordered the Webster’s breakfast. my beans were piping hot, eggs were slightly watery (scrambled ) and the bread was disappointing! For the amount of bakeries in town, surely you you can dish out better then coles sliced wholemeal toast... the good beans were so tasty / mushrooms delicious 😋 again coffee picked up the pieces! small tweaks and this place will be as good as I remembered it to be :)

Visit this place when we on the way back from ballarat , this cafe isn't busy in Saturday morning which I like , all cafe packed with people in weekend morning around my place… like this quiet and industrial design cafe. coffee is nice！<br/><br/><br/><br/>

We stopped by this little cafe after reading all of the amazing reviews and being the 1# cafe in Ballarat (according to Beanhunter). It was late afternoon and during the week. The ambiance was cosy and warm. We sat outside which was just lovely. We both ordered flat whites, they were a bit cool ( I am not a fan of extra hot coffee however these were too cool, call me ‘coffeelocks’) and milky. I wouldn’t write this place off, I had high expectations going in. I would probably try a late next time.

Went there just yesterday and ordered the eggs benedict and an ice coffee.  While I liked both meals, would have preferred if there was either a second piece of toast or it was slightly larger considering what you payed.  I personally preferred shaved ham rather than pulled ham but the quality of the meal was excellent.  Ice coffee was great.

If you’re in need of your daily hit of caffeine then look no further. Websters Market and Café serves single-origin coffee by Industry Beans, poured by adept baristas using their shiny Synesso machine. <br/><br/>This cute little brunch spot also serves a great selection of brunch options. Our top picks include their Seasonal Greens Bowl – an exciting amalgamation of wild rice and grains, sugar snap<br/>.

Went to this place since all the high reviews in here but super disappointed. Coffee average. Husband wasn’t hungry so he ordered toast with honey while I had Eggs Benedict. With $18 for Egg Benedict my expectation was high, but instead what I got was unseasoned hollandaise sauce & eggs that had a strong taste of vinegar. Total bills was $35 (2 white toast with fair bit amount of honey, Eggs Benedict & 2 cappuccino). Definitely not come back nor recommend anyone this place

Webster’s was recommended to us by our hotel’s staff and we’re so glad we followed through. The food was delicious and the coffee was even better - perfect blend!

This Cafe was amazing! The food was so good - poached eggs on gluten free toast is not usually an impressive meal but they somehow managed to make it stand out as something special and delicious. The sweet potato and haloumi fritter was fantastic too. The coffee was high quality and the service was especially lovely.

Nice cafe with a good menu. Worth a visit. <br/>Staff seem a bit lost and confused, but intentions for service was good. <br/>The breakfast board - a bit of savoury with a sweet was perfect. What has nobody in Melbourne figures out the concept. Brioche French toast was disappointing, was more like bread pudding. <br/>Coffee was great, not excellent. <br/>Overall, a winner and definitely holds its own against the Melbourne cafe scene.

My wife and our 2 kids had a very nice little brunch at Webster’s market and cafe and we were blown away with the creativity and presentation of our meals. The service was very smooth and made us feel wanted and appreciated, good job we will be back soon, I highly recommend this little hidden treasure!

Best cafe in Ballarat! We love it here and make sure to visit every time we’re in town. Scrambled eggs are incredible with the mushrooms and halloumi but everything on the menu is great. Coffee is fab and the cafe has a great vibe with lovely staff. They also present the food beautifully- Fruit and Yogurt + The French Toast are some favourites

We were on our way to The Grampians amd thought of stopping by Ballarat to have breakfast. Thanks to Zomato and stumble upon this cafe in the first page search. Awesome food and good coffee and first dark hot choco 70%!!! Highly Recomended to come here if you are nearby. Thanks Webster’s for continuing dishing out awesome food and drinks.

Have made past attempts to eat at this cafe to no avail but today was my lucky break. Ordered the breakfast board and I’m glad I did. The star was the maple yogurt, beautiful and creamy and the combination of the nectarine pieces with the pretzel crumble made it possibly the yummiest yogurt I have ever tasted. The smashed avocado was too much on the purée side (like baby food) as I couldn’t taste the feta, I suggest a firmer avo with feta chunks you can see would a be much nicer experience. The smoked salmon was a generous portion and lovely when combined with the avocado and poached egg. The Yarra Valley Mango and Vanilla bean jam served with the fruit toast is really delicious. The coffee is perfect and very friendly service.

Webster's Market and Cafe..... it's a yes from me. <br/><br/>Great food, good coffee and a lovely warm atmosphere. <br/><br/>I visited this cafe midweek at 8am and the place was already buzzing. The staff were very accommodating when two in our party asked to substitute a menu item and were all round very pleasant to deal with.  <br/><br/>I would strongly recommend the breakfast board as it has a great variety of sweet and savoury options, which is perfect for people like myself who enjoy a taste of everything.

Was excited to go to Webster’s based upon reviews here & the buzz around town.<br/><br/>For Melbournites, think Coin Laundry x Glen Iris Pantry. <br/><br/>Ordered their big brekky, a coffee & a fresh juice. Saw juice poured from a Berri carton, so strike one. Asked for coffee - ‘it’s on the way!’. Food arrives, so I ask where my coffee is. ‘You didn’t get it? It says you got it.’ - strike two.<br/><br/>Waited a few minutes & still didn’t come, so I started to eat. Poached eggs looked like a beautiful sphere... however the yolk had partially set. By this stage, I was over waiting for the coffee so couldn’t be stuffed asking for a do over.<br/><br/>Our table was cleared hurriedly, as they desperately needed our table to accommodate a family of 6, and lo & behold the coffee arrived. I said I didn’t want it anymore and was told ‘well you’re paying for it, so you may as well have it!’ - strike three, you’re out.

This cafe is in surbubia but it was rocking lol<br/><br/>I haven’t seen a country cafe so busy before. There were ppl everywhere! <br/><br/>The service was quick. My strong skinny latte cost $4.70 so I was hoping it’s the best coffee I’ve had in a very long time haha<br/><br/>This cafe won the Ballarat/Daylesford/Pyrenees Best Coffee Award for 2016 which seems impressive. <br/><br/>Pumping out coffee from a Synesso coffee machine this place was happening haha<br/><br/>With no minimum eftpos this place could rival city cafes! <br/><br/>With a great range of Hepburn Spa and organic soft drinks, I was impressed. <br/><br/>The coffee was excellent, expensive for me but well worth the cost! Thank you 😊

Ratio decidendi: Great place to stop for cake and coffee in a town that’s historic in its own right but also serves as a great pit stop for those heading westwards from Melbourne. All the classic metropolitan brunch options adorn the menu, with some left of centre offerings like the pictured “pea and mint” which combines the fresh flavours of a pea and mint medley with the saltiness of vego bacon (i.e. halloumi) and the runny yolk of a poached egg to tie it all together.

My partner and I visited from Melbourne and really liked this place! Coffee was delicious - we loved the Ethiopian cold brew. We ordered the french toast with rosewater meringues and sourdough toast with scrambled eggs. Everything was tasty; the only complaint is that we wished there were more vegetarian breakfast options to choose from, especially savory options. We'll probably stop by again next time we're after coffee or brunch in Ballarat.

Found this cosy little cafe when I was driving through Ballarat and I'm glad I did! They have sourced their coffee from Fitzroy street blend and it's absolutely divine!!! I've ordered the cured salmon for brunch which was swerved as a generous portion with abundance of flavours, the hand cut, round shaped, pieces of green apple are a great visual addition to the dish. Staff were very friendly and helpful, definitely will be coming back here.

amazing modern food with a lot of eggs but they can simply be removed from a dish and it is still amazing! the coffee is also very good and there is a great atmosphere

This cafe near Ballarat lake is definitely worth a try. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is great with relaxing music but not too loud. Of course the food is excellent, exceeded my expectations, better than most cafe in Melbourne, outstanding presentation and the breakfast board was great for people like me who would like to have a bit sweet as well as savoury. Warm poached pear topped with vanilla yoghurt and chia&flex seed, very nice blend of warm and cold with smooth and crunch texture all in one.

Delicious!! Friendly staff and breakfast so well cooked. Perfect poached eggs, delicious pumpkin feta mix. I can be quite picky with mushrooms, sometimes cafes can make them tasteless and chewy. This place makes yummy mushrooms. What a pleasant stop over brekky. And excellent coffee.

Fabulous location, fabulous decor and fabulous food! What more can you want.  Okay, I've had moments of slow service, but they were busy so you can give a little slack there.  I think this is just the type of place to bring the standard of cafe's in Ballarat up a notch, push the others to perhaps lift their game (away from the early 2000's decor which seems to pervade the place).  Coffee is good, and selected food items great (love the mushrooms), however I have had a few 'misses' on the food front, but not enough to stop me coming back.  I think the overall experience lends itself to walking out satisfied, even if every little thing wasn't perfect.

Do try the bread and butter pudding. The addition of rhubarb to the traditional recipe gives it a beautiful tangy surprise. The whole pudding is so light and quite delicious. I did not expect it to end up being my new favourite dessert. It scored 10 out of 10 from two of us today!

We had a very filling breakfast with some unique combinations of flavours that mixed delightfully. I enjoyed the breakfast board with haloumi, grilled zucchini, salmon, poached egg, sourdough bread and fruit bread (with figs), chia pudding and a delicious fruit jam (rumble berry? It was for sale in the cafe). Great mix of sweet and savoury. The filtered coffee was unexpectedly presented in a beaker and made for a fun twist on the morning brew. Cleverly their courtyard has a roof that can be open or closed depending on weather...great service too. A welcome, unexpected find.

If you want really really nice coffee from a cafe in Ballarat this is where you will find yourself. <br/>Industry beans roast and make great coffee based in Melbourne supply this wonderful cafe. <br/>Thank you

Lovely atmosphere to sit inside or outside. The food was tasty and well presented. Served in large portion sizes and Industry Beans coffee. Great spot!

First off, I’d like to stress how much I love brunch! Like a lot. An uncomfortable amount to be frank. You couldn’t put a nominal figure on my adoration for all things cafe. Whether it be the coffee, the fact that there’s still time to do stuff during the day, or the food; the key to my heart is a good cafe crawl!

For a quick stop in Ballarat we chose Websters. Great atmosphere, good healthy options, the pea and mint soup was deliciouS and the coffee as well. The staff was also very welcoming!

Websters market is one of a few Ballarat cafes trying to keep up with the Melbourne cafe scene, which I appreciate. They serve Mork hot chocolates, deconstructed ice coffee, and Istra ham, some of my fave things. Their coffee is pretty decent, and they do probably the most delicious take away ham and cheese toastie that I've ever eaten (so good!). However the couple of times I've eaten in I've been underwhelmed by their food. The Webster breakfast is a typical fry up that I could do at home.. and their brioche French toast is so spongey that after a few mouthfuls it actually feels like you're putting a soggy dish sponge in your mouth. <br/>Not sure how I feel about this place - and yet I keep going back!

Websters Market and Cafe is an awesome local cafe with lots of positives going for it!<br/><br/>Location wise, it's set within a leafy street, with cafe itself having a chilled out vibe going for it!<br/><br/>Food wise the meals are delicious, with brekkie being a main feature! The French Toast was delicious, with the Poached Pear being a tasty fruity compliment to the dish.<br/><br/>Service wise the staff are friendly and talkative, being efficient to boot.<br/><br/>In relation to price, the meals are smaller than what you would expect. However, it is tasty regardless!<br/><br/>Would reccomend, especially for the coffee!

Nice place<br/>Was so busy, no place to sit but been offered to sit outside, with no heaters ! No sure if they know its cold or not !<br/>Must say, nice and lovely service, good coffee <br/>Guess, the best coffee in Ballarat !

Wonderful breakfast<br/>We had the cheese toast and the corn and mushroom polenta, fabulous combination of flavours. The staff were very friendly and the establishment was easy to find, very cute and modern. Being pet friendly was a plus as well, there was a water bowl outside for my fur baby which was nice. I would definitely return here.

Customer service- bad experience! Never greets to all customers coming in. Only greets to locals & maybe to their regular customers. If you're an Asian expect the same treatment as what we've experience on how rude they can be to you for a first time. Just looking at us waiting what food to order. Never even bother telling us what they have and never gave us any menu. So, we just ordered what we think they might have had. 🙄😒 <br/><br/>Hot chocolate? Just right. Nothing beats cornucopia cafe's hot chocolate still. <br/><br/>Almond croissants are great. But I can't feel much of it's taste anymore after the bad experience.

Dropped by for a coffee, well hot chocolate. Mork's Jaffa. Tastes just like a jaffa! Though I'm not sure why when it got to the bottom there were bits of flowers or something that hadn't dissolved. At $6 it's standard city prices though perhaps a tourist town has matching prices.

Came here on a fine Saturday morning. Of course it was packed but good vibe and visually, a beautiful place to eat. Service was pretty bad, probably due to how busy they were - we waited over 20 mins to be served initially and then another 30 mins for a coffee. Meals were also slow but food was good. My husband ordered the bruschetta and they forgot to put the bread on it! We just thought it was one of those overly-deconstructed, over-priced meals, until we re-looked at a menu while we were paying and realised he never got the bread with it. But they were very apologetic and didn't charge us for the meal. Would like to come back but perhaps on a week day when it's quieter. If it's super busy, give this place a miss.

A quaint little cafe with a lot of outdoor dining available. I've enjoyed drinking coffee at Webster's over Summer, but now that it's Winter, it's time for another place to sip my latte. Why you ask? Webster's has very limited indoor seating and due to poor acoustics, if you do manage to score a table, too closely positioned next to another one, you'll struggle to hear what your friend is saying. <br/><br/>Don't get me wrong, the staff are fantastic, the coffee is great (although not very hot on occasion) and the decor is aesthetically pleasing. It's just there's not enough indoor seating and THE OUTDOOR AREAS NEED HEATERS! :)

Highly recommend for anyone coming to Ballarat! Huge portions, with quality produce. Tasty and we'll presented. Excellent service which was flexible.

It feels like Big Brother Melbourne .....<br/><br/>Glorious autumn Sunday, Maple leaves, golden rays of sunlight in this leafy suburb of Ballarat, a stone throw away from Lake Wendouree. Gold Rush period homes galore this has to be the place to live.<br/><br/>But we are not here to buy a piece of Ballarat Real Estate, we are here for brunch :-) <br/><br/>From the outside, Period home, renovated, modern outdoor eating area, fitted accordingly, buzzing with lots of Sunday patrons. The inside is tastefully renovated, lots of raw materials; polished timber, exposed red bricks, replica Bentwood chairs and modern Cafe lighting off-course, it feels like home, Melbourne that is, especially looking at those White Industry Beans Coffee Roaster. Complemented with a Synesso espresso machine, so looking forward to some descend liquid gold. EUREKA, satisfied with the Short Black Burundi, Soy Latte and the likes.<br/><br/>On the food side, a few on offer, so let's order a few.<br/>From the boring but good Scrambled Eggs on Toast with extra Bacon,<br/>Eggs Benedict, pulled Ham<br/>Cured Salmon; fantasticly balanced with those Avocadoes <br/>Bruschetta, an Instagram favourite, and<br/>Webster's Breakfast; just too much goodness on the plate, seasoned mushrooms ...<br/><br/>All GENEROUSLY served, just value for money.<br/><br/>Might come back for those Sweets on the Display Cabinet tomorrow .....<br/><br/>Great service .... thank you to the team at Webster's Ballarat.

Been here regularly for coffee and breakfast. Everything has been on point so far. Absolutely excellent coffee- always a perfect double espresso with a glass of soda water on the side. Food is excellent, and service has improved enormously since some early learning curves with recognising and managing the up and down nature of cafe busy periods. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Great little cafe. Servers were friendly and even though it was busy, quite attentive. I had the cauliflower textures and it was amazing! A must try! Absolutely delicious!

Lovely coffee, delicious food, friendly staff. <br/>This is our go-to for breakfast now- unique options and has always been spot on. Coffee is one of the best going around.

We had heard great things about this cafe so I was disappointed when my meal of grilled octopus arrived without the octopus. When questioned, the waiter said it was hidden under the rest of the food and suggested I fork through the other ingredients to find it. I explained that normally grilled octopus looks like a baby octopus sitting on top of the meal. The waiter had no idea. It was embarrassing for us all. Finally he took it back to the kitchen then reappeared with a completely different dish, this time with grilled octopus. This is unacceptable for any cafe, but one that charges like a Melbourne Cafe should know better. PLEASE TRAIN YOUR STAFF. That said, the food was delicious and I felt sad for chef who obviously had put heart and soul into the menu, ingredients, and presentation, only to have staff not be able to identify each dish. Not sure if I'll be back, or how I will share today's experience with my friends. Probably along the line of "Great food, terrible staff training".

Lovely breakfast <br/>Love the atmosphere of the cafe but the tables are too close together which understandable due to they have tiny space. Staff is friendly, average coffee. I had a cured salmon yesterday a little bit disappointed because the salmon its very salty way too salty actually. The yogurt panna cotta is soooooo good!!! perfect dish ever!! The yogurt panna cotta is perfectly set and its go well with all the berries. Im looking forward to come back and try them lunch next time.

Nice atmosphere, chairs a bit uncomfortable and and tables are very close together. Coffee wasn't hot and have heard from others they have had the same issue. Didn't have any food this time but the meals I saw came out looked great

Great food, shared bruschetta bar and beef salad which were both beautifully presented and very tasty. Staff are also very friendly and helpful. My favorite place to catch up with family

Great Food! Coffee is the best especially flat whites and long black consistent flavor and temperature. I will happily come back again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big city food at big city prices. Coffee was great: good beans, good milk, professional baristas (eg. weighing each coffee dose). Highly recommended

Had the bruschetta bar between two and coffee with a berry Danish . Coffee wasn't "Wow" but ok , they do use Industry Beans from Fitzroy Melbourne . The little cafe has a very Melbourne feel about it and the atmosphere was cozy . It's a nice place to catch up with a friend not for a large get together , there is outdoor sitting for a sunning day .
