If you happen in this area, one of the best place to start your day with super nice breakfast. Friendly and helpful people here. Special menu on every Saturday, love the pancake *Yummy Yummy Yummy* vegetarian menu with very nice mushroomsss *great great great*
Poached Cafe is one of the best food and value in Brunswick. Great breakfast menu. The meal that you'll enjoy is among the best in Brunswick and priced well below the others. Superior service with the smile. Great coffee, that is always repeatably same (=good barista).
Overall, we go there most of weekends, it's always a great treat!
The owner is a lovely lady who never forgets our coffee order. Personal favourite is the ham & cheese croissant. Just a nice, friendly place to be!
Great service and food comes out real quick. Cheap and cheerful cafe that also sells good coffee. Love that they havent overpriced their food.
Nice food and friendly staff.
Very basic menu but always generous with many different options that also includes the specials of the chef which change every week.
It is a must in Brunswick East!
Generous portions, good prices, friendly service and the chef can make changes according to your dietary requirements. They knew I was pregnant, and asked if I wanted to remove half-cooked eggs for a special order Carbonara (not in menu), and when I gave birth, he asked if I’m god to have the Carbonara as is, with egg! Relaxed great meals without breaking the bank. If you are looking to pay more for atmosphere and fancy-looking food, look elsewhere.
Poached was where I had my first meal in Melbourne, and I was all perked up by the cosiness of the cafe and the daintiness of its food!
Food consumed: Vegetarian breakfast with poached eggs, mushrooms, hash brown, avocado, sautéed spinach, grilled tomatoes and grilled haloumi
Huge serving sizes, yummy and such affordable food. Coffee was yummy also! Not the trendiest place in Melbourne but quality, classic breakfasts, including HUGE big breakfasts and big omelettes! A giant omelette with chorizo, tomato, halloumi and rocket only $14! Will definitely be back.
Great place. Friendly staff, food cooked to perfection. If you are around the area definitely give it a look. Perfect for a Sunday brunch. Try the Ewing sandwich if you are looking for some lunch. Chuck a hash brown in there as well, your life will never be the same again
Best vegie omelette in Melbourne, perfectly layered with Halloumi cheese, spinach, pumpkins, zucchini & a basil nut paste. It's not on there standard menu but is on the specials menu.
Coffe is good.
A must try when in BRUNSWICK.
We had the poached eggs with Spanish chorizo rocket and feta and it was delicious! The service was good and very good value for money. We couldn't fault the cafe
Well, I'm satisfied.. I had the Turkish pide. Was not disappointed. Cooked and prepared to perfection. The aioli was a standout. coffee was really good too. And cheap! Would come back.
Love Poached. Nice converted shop cafe done in a pleasant quirky style. My avocado toast with feta was rustic and lovely. My coffee was silky and gorgeous. It was expertly made. I adored the mixed berry smoothy too. Service was lovely throughout. What a terrific local cafe and with such reasonable prices. We will definitely return.
Coffee is really nice and the staff were very friendly! Will most definitely try the food next time :)
Oooooooh ma gawd!!!
Love love love.
We're regulars, and always go in, at least once a week for breakfast/brunch.
Can't actually say just how much I love this place. Always satisfying, quick service and lovely staff!
Nice atmosphere, I had roasted vegetables on sourdough bread, very nice, my partners GF toast was small and plain. Our daughters carrot cake was nice. Good coffee.
Great coffee, service and staple range of eggs brekkie & brunch options. Also: do not underestimate their sandwiches, if you are looking for some cheaper food options. Very flavourful and absolutely delicious.
