Really great coffee, fresh food good value. I enjoyed the calamari asian salad, my brother had the slow cooked sticky pork burger. Both meals were fresh and full of flavour, would come back here again for another meal. Thank You!
Customer service was spot on. Meals were delicious. Certainly recommend their calamari & salad.
The beast hot chocolate in Melbourne.
Staff very friendly.
Thank you for the lovely coffee! And the $1 discount as I couldn't find my card and only had loose shrapnel. I really appreciate it �
Hip and funky little place near home .. yummy food and great friendly staff :) keep up the great work
Great little place. Kid friendly. Fast efficient service. Nice coffee and great menu. Considering we live 500m away, we'll be regulars! Great to see a cafe open on a Sunday close by!
LOOOOOOOVED! Best calamari salad and cheeseburger EVER! Congrats on opening and best of luck! You'll be seeing a lot of me!! :)
Coffee is amazing, food is amazing, staff are helpful, hilarious and devilishly good looking.
Magic coffee is magic we will be back to explore more of the menu!
Great spot! Close to home, nice people, good coffee, great brekky!
Fish and chips for lunch and leave the kids to play in the court yard. Friendly family owned cafe, great fish and chips and plenty of toys for the little ones whilst you get a break for the ankle biters.
Best Reuben sandwich ever. Nice sweet potato chips.
Went to this lovely, cute cafe in brunswick with my partner today. Lovely coffee with late art which is a bonus as well as really nice food. Was very nice relaxing cafe and lovely staff who greeted us as we came in and left.
I love this place! My business partner and I visit once a week as it is between two stops for the day. If it was closer to my house I would definitely go more often. We always get a coffee and sometimes food and we’ve never had a bad experience. The staff members are super lovely and helpful and will go out of their way to give personalised service to everyone there. There are always great vegetarian and gluten free options, portion sizes are generally what I consider to be very large, I don’t know what these other reviewers think is a big portion because I’ve never left hungry. Will definitely continue to be a regular.
Friendly waitresses. Good food. Awesome ambience. We ordered mushroom on toast with Halloumi and a French toast with gelato. They both taste delicious. But would expect the portion to be a bit more bigger. Other than that. Awesome place to eat.
Cute cafe with friendly staff. Service was relatively quick. Food tasted really nice. Just wish the serving size was bigger.
Especially on the Rueben sandwich. Australian can really learn from the US when it comes to Rueben sandwiches.
Brunswick West is very underestimated but it reserves many venues that deserve some love like Lasy Melville.
Decided to have a light breakfast to start the day and I went for the Green Lady, their Smashed Avocado dish.
The meal arrived quickly and it was exactly what I expected, nothing more nothing less. Standard Smash Avo, well cooked egg and filling in a healthy way. Perhaps not the best I have ever had but pretty decent to come back and try other items off their menu.
I think this little place deserves more credit than it gets. The coffee , while it won't blow your mind , is of a good standard and is quite nice. The atmosphere is very good and the service is warm and friendly. I will admit that when it's packed the quality of service drops quite a bit but it's still very good. I had the brunswich in my last visit. It was well put together, fresh and tasty. It's a little small for the price but nevertheless it was enjoyable. All in all a consistent quality cafe. It's not a place I would rave about. Yet it is somewhere I will keep coming back to.

I really enjoy the brunswich from lady Melville - very moreish. Nice local cafe to walk down to, pretty casual, great for take away. Not much parking.
Had breakfast here and the all day menu is pretty good to have on a Sunday. Coffee good, decor clean and uncluttered, had the lamb salad with goats cheese and pomegranate and it was decent value, but lamb was a bit dry and maybe over shredded but still tasted nice. Worth another visit to checkout other salads on the menu.
Not bad, good coffee, like the menu and is good to see its simple and available all day. Had the Bircher muesli and was tasty , worth going back to try other items, place was warm and cosy and clean design.
A good place for breakfast, with wall-made coffee, friendly staff and a good atmosphere. The place was a little hard to find, but delivered in terms of taste and food presentation. The meals were slightly overpriced for the quantity that me and my friend received, and we would have appreciated more for the price that we paid, however the lamb salad and halloumi&mushroom brushetta were delicious. Am not opposed to returning to try more of their food!
I always been here for the beautiful lamb salad and Latte is nice. To have a cafe with my friends In the backyard is enjoyable especially with the sunshine ... It is worth to be here. I like the boss who is kind.
With a relaxing and warm atmosphere, Lady Melville is the perfect place to go for a Sunday brunch. The service is fantastic, with a friendly yet unintrusive demeanour.
I ordered the pulled beef burger and boy, it exceeded well beyond my expectations. The poached egg was perfectly cooked (often the egg white is runny rather than just the yolk) and avocado aoili was to die for. The pulled beef had to be one of the tenderest I have ever had and the brioche bun was crispy, yet not too the point of playing tug of war. I requested no pickles, because even avocado aoili can't make me love that strange vegetable. Coffee was fantastic and the food came out really quick.
Lady Melville is refreshing in its ease and authenticity. I have been to so many Cafes that try a little too hard to be unique and stand out. In seemingly doing the opposite, Lady Melville has left a memorable mark on my tastebuds.
This place has really improved over the last few months. I'm not sure if it has been taken over or just had a rollover of staff, but those working now are much more friendly and helpful (unlike the original staff who ignored all customers and just chatted amongst themselves) and their barristers have really improved. The espresso is reliably good now (as opposed to reliably bad, burnt and way too long when the cafe first opened). Hopefully it keeps on the improve as it's one of the few cafes in the area.

Awesome cafe in great location. Broad menu. Avo smash was delicious with goats cheese and crispy bacon and the caramelised banana with pistachio jaffle also fabulous. The cafe seemed to go and go right out the back with lots of options for where to sit. Little kids play equipment out the back also.
Excellent customer service. The "green lady" was divine, good portions. The chocolate milkshake was absolutely fantastic! The only downside is the price.
I'm bummed I forgot to take a picture!
The food was excellent, tried the single origin coffee after speaking to a waitress and it was excellent
I had the Duke fritters with salmon.it was well presented, perfectly cooked and delicious to eat!Sooo yummmmmy.
The service was excellent, we had two cheeky babies at our table who made a little mess and the waitress were so helpful, definatelly will be back
I got the Calamari Banh Mi, it was so fresh and tasty. Chips don't come with the food, you have to purchase them separately for $4, that is very reasonably priced for great tasting and well fried chips. The portions are big, the atmosphere and space is quite lovely, staff are cheerful and friendly and the coffee is good. Great cafe in Brunswick.
I ate here on New Years day 2016 as not much was open, it's also our local place and we never ate here before.
Both my wife and I were very happy with our meals. My wife had a Quinoa/Kale and lamb shoulder salad which she found delicious and the serve was very generous. It was too much for her to eat and was able to take the rest home via take away container.
I had the cheeseburger and fries. The cheeseburger was juicy and tasty with melted cheese and mayo-sauce. The fries were krinkle cut, not a huge fan, but can accept based on the quality of the burger.
Both meals met our requirements of tasty, delicious and satisfying food and we will come back again to try something different.
Glad to have a local cafe that does good food
Nice cafe at the corner , had fresh OJ - was really good. Sir cramble for brunch - love it 🤗 scramble eggs mix up with a bit of chili, simple but yum.
Great coffee. Went to lady melville for my morning coffee love the relaxed vibe. Perfect latte will be back.
Went into today for a Sunday breakfast with the family (kids included).
I ordered the lady M cheeseburger and the wife ordered a shakshuka (I think that's how you spell it). I found both amazingly delicious! We ended up ordering banana bread afterwards as well. The coffees were at a good standard, I personally can't differentiate too much between types of coffee but it definitely got the job done. Both food and drinks came out at a fairly quick time given they were so busy, we were not waiting more than 20 to 30 mins for food. I reckon peak time is around 11am for them as when we arrived there was only one spot left.
I found the service great as the waiters and chefs on the day were friendly and caring to both the wife and kids (probably the most important thing for me). Also a massive plus that the kiddies were given coloring pages and plenty to do outside.
Will be making this a regular trip on weekends.
Lady Melville is a very nice cafe with good food. I recommend the 'Brunswich' and the coffee was nice when we last visited. It can be a little expensive which is the only reason it does not get top marks from me. The outdoor dining area is great on a nice day.
The owners (who have three kids) have thought of everything when it comes to kid-friendly dining. There’s a back entrance via Bakers Parade which leads into a sunny courtyard and down the centre is a pram ramp complete with a grip mat. On the fake grass under the stairs they’ve set up not just one but two toy kitchens which Lady AB had great fun with for about 30 minutes.
I have been here twice and both times were amazing. I got the French toast jaffle both times and it was so incredibly amazing. The best version of French toast I have ever had! The service was good - even though it was super busy, we were seated straight away and the portion sizes are quite large. The hot chocolates are great too!!
Finally good to have a decent brunch place in brunswick, walking distance. I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews out there. But I'm living locally, this place is a little hidden gem, when you go into there, a spacious area and warming decor bring you what you need for a holiday; the calamari roll is indeed a secret surprise, I like the coffee and the delicate feta with smashed avocado dish(Green Lady). I recommend this place!!
I can empathise with the poor reviews here but I don't think it's all that bad. It's definitely one of those places you have to be a bit assertive at but I've found the staff to be mostly friendly just very chill so this might come off as impolite. The food is good though, yes it's a little pricey and they by no means compare with LoLo and Wren in terms of quality, it's not a bad local. However, they should be reading these comments and improving their service and offerings.
Well Lady Melville really is quite lovely. Great food, coffee & fit out, lucky to have this little lady as my local...definitely my favourite local cafe. The calamari banh mi gets me every time, delish! And the take away menu that's available, just call up & order & they'll get it ready for you to collect - making things easy when you're in a rush.
LOVE LADY MELVILLE SHE IS DEVINE WE WILL BE BACK VERY SOON. Visited with friends on weekend, very busy considering only recently opened. Our table had Green Lady (smashed avo), the Brunswich - breakky sanga love the name, poached eggs & chutney & rice pudding..food was amazing, looked great, tasted even better. We sat on deck area & checked out their courtyard..love love love.. coffee amazing too we will be back..next weekend! congrats Lady Melville we soooooo needed you in our area!
Little gem in progress. I've been few times to Lady Melville since they opened, and even though it still need some improvement (but forgiven since it's quite new), it has been every time a wonderful experience. The staff members are always very nice, the food delicious (i have to disagree on the past comment about the fries size) and coffee yum! The courtyard it's the better place to have a relaxed brunch with the kids, they even have a little playground! I'm happy you guys came to the neighborhood, and I'm sure through time it's gonna be even better !
My favourite space was the sunny front room where coffee machine churns out Lady Melville’s house blend from Zest. The only drawback of the front room is that the teeny tiny tables are wall-mounted, which means they’re squishy and awkward if you’re trying to fit your bottom, your bag, food, drinks and cutlery.
Perfect. Loved everything about this quirky place. The fritter dish was sublime, service friendly and chirpy, the set-up with plenty of space at the back for hounds or prams with brats is well thought-out and comfortable. Lolo also in Brunswick West is excellent as well so the choice in this locale is now ascending to be off the chart. Loving it.
Brilliant food, drinks and really good service. Will definitely be back soon! Thanks guys...
Will be back!!. Awesome food! Great service, very friendly. Also provided drawing for the kids. Will definitely be back
Quick visit but positive. Dropped in for a quick coffee and cake. Enjoyed the iced coffee and the banana bread was well above average. Very busy which was a good sign, intend to go back to try a meal.
Coffee with banana bread. Both coffee and banna bread were good. A bit expensive for banna bread but still tasty
Ooh yes! They got it right! .... Ooh yes! They got it right!
$10 The Brunswick sanga is perfect. Great coffee.
Welcome addition to the neighbourhood. Great new 'local'. Just what we have been waiting for along this strip. Good coffee and yum breakfast, had the shakshuka eggs which we're delish. Nice fitout. Looked like the locals were enjoying it when we were there. Will certainly become a regular. Welcome to the neighbourhood.
Yum. Had the avo smash with eggs and a fresh juice for bfast and it was yum! Waitress was a little uncertain on the menu but being opening weekend and all that can be forgiven. The place looks good too and I will certainly be back for more.
Well presented tasty food with friendly service. a great addition to the area
Fantastic addition to this area, friendly staff, and a lovely courtyard. Menu has a great variety - I had the smashed avo with bacon and it was filling, and good value. A few teething issues, but will be back for sure
Great food at decent prices. Started with a juice which was very large and my girlfriends coffee was very nice.
I had the breakfast burger which was very filling and tasty. My girlfriend got the Green Lady and the eggs were cooked perfectly.
Great service
Delicious!! Came here with my partner for a quick pit stop before we needed to go somewhere and ordered the Brekky burger and an OJ. Great service, came out quickly and it was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend!
Enjoyed our lunch at this cafe. The healthy bowl was very yummy and filling! And the mushroom halloumi bruschetta was nice too, although it was less like a bruschetta and more like a vegetable big brekky (which is what I felt like) and a large filling portion :) thank you! Really appreciated the variety of vegetarian options ❤️
Service was lovely and the oat milk coffee was nice. Really liked the little Florentine too. Relaxed, humble atmosphere- not too fancy. Good value for money. Thank you :) will be back.
Absolutely delicious Duke's Fritters! The piccolo hit the spot too. So much room with seating on the street, in the cafe, in the next room and out the back.Will definitely be back 😊
Food was super cheap and fantastic, the vegan chicken was delicious as was everything else. Nice vibe.
Great b’fast spot. The staff were accommodating of my brother’s request for an item that wasn’t on the menu. Breakfast burger was fantastic- one of the best my husband has had. I had the banana jaffle which was also divine!
I really enjoyed eating here :) there were a lot of vegan/vegetarian options that were available and had meat as an optional side, which is cool. I had dukes fritters and they were honestly the best fritters I've had in a while! The service was lovely and I would definitely come back
coffee (soy flat white) was really good. menu is fairly standard, with generous serves. gluten free bread and salads are your main GF options.
