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!
We had bough one blueberry muffins to eat in the plane is so nice, why i only bought one pieces :( (Is home make). The boss is super nice and friendly.
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.
Awesome! This place is always great. Great food & service. Fantastic value for money. Great coffee. Highly recommend, fantastic local cafe.
Love this place, simple & generous. We love this place! After trying lots of places around Brunswick we keep coming back here time and time again. The food is simple, fresh, unpretentious and the sizes are generous. Not to mention the great prices! Very simple decor, nothing fancy but if you are after a great breakfast/lunch at a reasonable price, this is your place.
'80's 90's radio. .... reminiscing
Coffee is ok... bit too hot, but ok.
Breakfast is ok, very cheap! $12.50 eggs benedict.... very very yellow hollandaise.
Waitress needs to tone down her perfume. ....georgio I think. ... way way too heady and strong for anywhere. .. let alone a Cafe.
Cheerful place.
I'll return:)
Great 'old school' fare. On a miserable cold and rainy day their steak sandwich and chips were spot on. Not pretentious in any way. The waitress was simply delightful.
Big breakup was very good. Scrambled eggs with ham terrific. Very good coffee. Good, polite, quick service.
Love the freshly squeezed orange juice.. The soy chai latte.. Very friendly staff. I haven't had much food here.. But yummy home made sausage rolls..
Great cafe, always receive a warm welcome. The vegie breakfast is fabulous. Unpretentious, relaxed environment with good service and consistently good food. Recommended!
My new brunch spot. Great breakfast here ,fresh,clean and value for what you paydefinatly be the family spot now thank you guys so much.
Friendly and Consistently Good Coffee!. After trudging through the other cafes in the area and being let down by either them being packed full of hipsters, burnt coffee or terrible customer service, Poached is the cafe we were looking for. While the decor isn't up to speed with the trendy cafes around it, it's almost more relaxing and you feel like you don't have to be dressed in skinny jeans and flannelette shirts to eat there. The staff are friendly, the coffee fantastic (especially when the owner makes it) and there's always a heap of newspapers and mags to paw through peacefully. Our new local haunt!
Well made amazing tasting coffee, Great fresh food, quick service, great atmosphere and very well priced. That about sums it up.
Came back to Poached after a 2 year hiatus & after being let down by Small Block... & thank god I did! Fantastic breakfast of perfectly poached eggs with chorizo, slow roasted tomatoes, feta & rocket accompanied by a freshly squeezed juice. Fantastic service and they also have gluten free bread... Stoked!
Simply can not get enough of Poaced! Try to make it there at least weekly, outstanding food, coffee and service. I'm always greeted and farewelled with a smile and all of their tasty menu items are delicious and if nothing appeals to you, you can always mix and match anything and everything they have on offer!
This is our local and we love it. Can't beat the food, coffee and service. Try the French toast with mascarpone and pear...to die fir or the omlette with chorizo. Good for ppl with kids too. And reasonable prices!
Delicious. A buzzing little place with the sound of breakfast satisfaction. The menu selection is great but the standout for me was the mascarpone filled french toast topped with bacon, poached pears, maple syrup with poached pears.
Absolutely yums! A must try.
Outstanding service and friendly, helpful staff. I had the poached eggs with Spanish chorizo - it was to die for! My new local brekkie spot!
Best coffee in Brunswick. Never had a bad coffee here and I have at least one a week Great food and extremely friendly service. Very relaxed and unpretentious - a place you could take your parents!
Coffee Heaven. Great coffee and very satisfying vegie breakfast served with lovely thick slices of toasted bread. Generous portions and good value. Family friendly.
Highly Recommended. Fantastic service and wonderful food. Rocked up with a party of nine, no booking, on a Sunday morning and they happily accommodated us and made room. Food came out fast and fresh and the waitress' were lovely. Everyone was impressed. The poached eggs and chorizo were divine.
Mmmm best french toast i've had in a long time!
Ummm!. Perfect food friendly staff and great coffee
What can I say? This place is great, perfect coffee, excellent food and the staff are awesome. Try the chicken Ewing with artichoke. Delish. All there breakfast dishes are named after the local streets. Very daggy.
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.
