Seriously the best breakfast in Melbourne. Inventive, flavoursome and delicious. On point every time. The only place I eat each time I visit. Staff are always delightful and the coffee is good. A definite must eat!
Fabulous food and staff, best lunch ever. Highly recommend this little eatery, was a fabulous find.
Staff are friendly. The gnocchi with smoked tomatoes, summer vegetables, crisp potato skin and pecorino was really delicious. So soft and fluffy inside. Makes me regret not having had gnocchi for a few years. Yum.
Smoked eggplant salad was also really nice. Eggplant was lovely and smokey. Just the right amount of herbs, too.
Small axe cafe is nice and customer service is excellent very good would go again
Really delicious food and friendly service. Breakfast pasta is worth the hype and a good place to go on a weekend brunch, if you fancy something different. Coffee is great!
Nice cafe... great service with a smile. Nice atmosphere. We sat in a cosy corner and enjoyed a great coffee. We ordered the scrambled eggs on toast with pork sausage and the grilled sardines. It was nice... highly recommended
I really like Small Axe. It’s friendly, quaint and has great food. We usually bring our doggie and sit outside. The service is great.
The menu has a variety of dishes. A few are Sicilian inspired. They cater for most food intolerances.
I like to build my own eggs. They have amazing GF bread (and they’re generous), the avocado is well presented with a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds, and the bacon is a thick ‘steak’ with picked fennel- it is SO yum.
Would recommend for sure!
Flat white ($4) ⭐️ 4/5 ⭐️
Spider tiramisu ($8.50) ⭐️ 3/5 ⭐️
🍴A pretty cafe near the #beinartgallery with a relaxed open communal area and small cozy interior. The #flatwhite was smooth and while it didn’t wow with any strong or unique flavours, it was enjoyable and easy to drink. The spider tiramisu sounded highly interesting but it was a pricey confusing drink mixing coffee, ice cream, cocoa and a fizzy drink. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t our preference and the flavours just felt like they were conflicting. Do note that there is a 10% surcharge on weekends.

DELICIOUS food, coffee and desserts. Was worth the money. Also child friendly and staff are friendly and inviting. Highly recommend it! We got the the green pea fritters and it was delicious. Vegan peanut chocolate balls were super yum too.
Their service was quite good and the food was also quite nice but I thought it would be a little better. The menu posted on Zomato doesn’t match the one in the restaurant so I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have what I wanted. The atmosphere and decor is lovely though
Cool little cafe in Brunswick, got a seat outside which was nice. Had the blood orange juice which was great then ordered the eggs Benedict which had pork and fennel sausage, pistachio hollandaise apple slaw on a brioche... flavours were absolutely tremendous, only slight disappointment was the severely undercooking of the poached eggs and I love my eggs gushing but these were a bit watery. Had the potato croquette as a side which was superb too. Great joint, different and good menu.
Gone through my fair share of coffees here having had a pre-paid coffee card. 100% recommend their chocolate croissant heated up! They are what dreams are made of. Coffee is pretty good, had some amazing ones from the guy who dances and sings and the girl with the tattoos. However, there is one barista (blonde with a fringe) who is so slow at coffees and kinda rude. Otherwise some really fun chatty staff.
