Review Cafe Vanilli - Blackburn

Long opening hours, good coffee, nice food, heaps of outdoor seating 👍

Very busy restaurant, there are many dishes to choose from. Didn’t order coffee but food was quite yummy!! Great place for brunch!!

Had a pretty good lunch here today. Prices were fair and the quality was good. Service and atmosphere a bit lacking, but would go here again. Ordered a tea and found the serving very generous (pictured). Menu is quite large for such a small place, and food was served within 15 mins.

Cosy little local spot right behind Laburnum train 🚈 station. This adorable little cafe reminds me of visits to Nana's house, photos of friends, family and staff adorn the walls proudly with an old metal fireplace for added warmth of needed. Plenty of space inside and out with a small heated section outside. All your usual suspects on the menu for breakfast. As well as a reasonable lunch menu too. I really enjoyed their mushroom and 🦆 duck leg risotto. This is a place you visit for the overall atmosphere, good food & staff. Coffee being their only weakness at this point, but everything considered great little local cafe. For more ideas follow my Instagram 📸 : JoJo.approves

A lovely cafe with super friendly staffs. Great coffee and delicious food that comes in generous large portions. They also have a spacious outdoor area for those that like to enjoy some fresh air whilst indulging in great coffee and food! Recommend!

Loved the bacon and eggs. Really well cooked bacon lovely chutney and excellent (perfect) poached eggs. The toast was a bit of a let down. Soggy. The coffee seems to only be a single shot in the mug which just isn't enough (very milky). Good atmosphere for family.

Lovely staff, lovely setting and lovely food. Picking up lunch from Gourmet Girl while at home locked down is a treat to be had. I love the iced coffees - have been taking family for lunch there for several years now and cannot wait to visit once open again - a favourite for lunch

Been a few times for brunch with a friend, but upped it to lunch for Christmas. Grilled calamari salad as excellent as was the glass of sauv blanc we had. Coffee always good as are the staff.

I love this place. The food is awesome and so are the people. Very welcoming

The food here is so tasty and good value for money. The staff are always friendly too :)

The taste of the food is fantastic and choice on offer mouth watering. But it is the people that welcome and serve you that is by far the biggest highlight of every visit!

The best coffee in Melbourne. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Never ceases to amaze with exceptional service. Feel like one of the family whenever we visit. Great food and awesome coffee!

Excellent coffee..and lovely decor and service

Lovely place for lunch

Great staff, excellent food, a friendly smile and a chat and awesome "tradie" sandwiches!! You rock girls. I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't comment on the coffee, but if it's as good as the food, then it must be great.

Great coffee.... Luscious, creamy. Enjoyed the organic blend and the service today.<br/><br/>Surprisingly good! Equal to the best in Blackburn station area.<br/><br/>Ps this Cafe has the cleanest windows ON THE PLANET! WE know lotsa window cleaners and whoever cleans this place does a great job!

Getting crowded now ....<br/> would be one of the pioneer of cafes there.<br/><br/>This used to be the only cafe we stop by in that particular area of Blackburn, it serves good dishes on the Bain-marie, nice lounge room and a courtyard at the back<br/>.<br/><br/>There seems to be an explosion of cafes surrounding it, must upgrade their game although coffee is above average, very pleasant and enjoyable service.<br/><br/>Winter is coming and the lounge is waiting?

I think this cafe has a lot of potential but at the moment is just not quite there. Coffee was fine and when I found time to eat the egg and bacon sandwich it was a little egg dominant.
