Quite a nice big, cafe on a corner in North Balwyn. They serve great meals of food and I love their brunch menu. They have a great variety on their menu, so anyone and everyone will love it. They have a lot of great drink in the fridge and this place is in a great spot, I highly recommend it.
I have been going to this cafe for as long as I can remember. Their food is delicious and as my tastebuds have changed, the menu always catered for them. I highly recommend coming here even if it is only for a cup of coffee.
Our lovely local cafe.
Great selection of savory, sweet, hot and cold food and a huge variety of drinks!
Staff are extremely friendly, helpful and service speedy.
You can tell this establishment is well loved by the locals (and rightly so!).
A very nice cafe with some fantastic staff who go out of their way to ensure you're happy with your meal and drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been to this cafe many times & it's definitely a go to for my family.
It has a great variety of lunch & sweet options in the window including banana bread, almond croissants and cakes which always look delicious. As well as a great breakfast & lunch menu that is served all day.
The coffees are also great and I have had many mochas and chai lattes at this cafe.
Absolutely amazing food well presented along with great service. :) I had the arancini ball which was huge and delicious. My dining partner had the avocado smash which was perfected with a delicious dukkah.
The Village is a cafe that is popular with locals and for good reason! The interior is nothing fancy but the food is delicious and filling. My sister is a big fan of the Bircher and I ordered the baked eggs - a little bit runny but nevertheless, delicious! The service is friendly and fast considering how busy this place always is!
Earlier this week, I was invited for a coffee tasting at the Village Cafe, hosted by DiBella Coffee and Zomato, and being the coffee fanatic I am, I was ready to sacrifice some sleep considering all the coffee we were about to sample.
2 weeks ago I was invited along with other amazing bloggers to a food and coffee pairing session at The village cafe in Balwyn. I purposely did not have coffee that day as I knew that after this I would be buzzing and I sure was! I think that I was hyper for a day or 2 and then just crashed haha.. Coffee can do that to people.

Great Coffee and Food, Friendly and Fast Service. My wife Victoria has a latte. Mine is a soy flat white. There is simply no better coffee we know of in Melbourne! On a corner in "The Village", Balwyn North. it is a bright,and pleasant place on any day, whether sunny or grey, due in part to the great expanse of glass on two sides, but perhaps even more so due to the friendly staff, led by Sam.
Bircher Muesli. Best Bircher ever!!
A few of us went for breakfast. The food was delicious, coffee was beautiful, staff were very friendly. Will definitely go back again!
Favourite coffee. I love dropping in here to get my coffee and occasional banana bread. The staff are always so friendly! On the couple of occasions that I have eaten a meal there both breakfast and lunch options have been delicious! Not quite sure why some of these reviews have been so negative!

Great coffee and tasty yummy food. The staff are very nice and efficient. I enjoy getting my coffee hit here!! .
This cafe is now under new management and improvements are obvious. Consistently good coffee, hot chocolate made with real Lindt chocolate, breakfast is always high quality. I've been a local to this area for some time and am glad to finally have a decent cafe within walking distance. If you havent tried the Village Cafe in the last 6 months, you really should give it a try.
New Management. The menu has a great variety... very speedy service lovely atmosphere and kind management...
the NEW owners have definitely turned this place around... the coffee tastes exactly what coffee should taste like.. i extremely enjoyed the big breakfast and will definitely be coming back!
Village Vibe. With new owners on board, the cafe is worth a try. New menu, friendly staff & bright sunny corner. Nice breakfast & good lunch options.
Great place.... I have enjoyed my breakfast in the Village, not just the environement and the location, but delicious and rich food with excellent and very friendly service from the new management,,,A must try...
Talk about an amazing place. I used to come here 2012 when they first opened. I just walked in June 2022 and the owner right away recognised me. LOVE the customer service, love the quality of food. Huge range of delicious food in display and order off the menu. You won't go wrong.
One of my very favourite cafes in Melbourne!!! Personally probably my favourite.

Team, keep up the amazing work. Love it!
Seriously good coffee. And cakes. And staff. Street parking or some car parks here and there.
This is a fabulous cafe!!! The food is great and my personal favourite is the eggs your way (I like the toast with scrambled eggs)…
Anyway, if you haven’t tried this cafe, well, you better! The owner (Sam) is also extremely friendly. Just eat at the cafe 2-3 times and then he’ll be able to recognise you super easily!
One of our favourite places to visit! Sam and his team provide a wonderful atmosphere with great food and coffee! The Village Cafe has been our ‘go to’ for almost 10 year and we look forward to getting down there every weekend. Awesome job team!
My go to place for a hot chocolate made with Lindt chocolate! We also love breakfast here on the weekend. It is always busy with a great buzz, but getting aseat is not usually a problem
Warm friendly owner and staff, excellent service and best coffee in Melbourne with wide variety of delicious food and dietary friendly. Highly recommended!!!
Big range of nice cafe food. They make a very good coffee and the service was very friendly.
