Just happened to be in the area and passed by this place. Decent size mug of coffee, to kick start our day. My owner ordered the smashed avo, and was delighted when it arrived. Quality and quantity was above the average for establishments in the area. Customer service cheerful and friendly. Might have to talk my owner into coming here more often.
This place has been my regular spot for my morning coffee! Amazing coffee, amazing people! Absolutely 5 stars for you guys!
Great birthday lunch...thank you Benny and Me, your food is delicious, great coffee and such friendly owners and staff...all yum!
I'd had coffee here a few times before but decided to head down with my wife this morning as we both had the day off. We both ordered the smashed avocado. To say it was awesome would be an injustice. The taste was amazing with just the right mix of the right stuff. It was huge and I think cheap, compared to what you pay in the area for something similar without the same quality or quantity. Coffee was good, as it has been in the past and all the staff were very helpful (we had to move some stuff around for the kids.) Will definitely be making it a regular for coffee/food/snacks stop. Thanks guys.
Been here twice, and both times have been amazing! Food is so yum! Best eggs benny hands down, love the service, so friendly!
Great coffee wonderful friendly staff highly recommend
Best cafe in Essendon. Never disappoints! Open souvlaki is a killer ��
Great food and coffee and wonderful customer service. Be sure to do yourself a favour and drop in for breakfast or lunch. Delicious!!
I'm so glad you guys renovated the cafe and made it your own! Good food, great menu and fantastic customer service. I'm here all the time! :D
Thank you for lunch today- and for being so accommodating of our needs (walkers).
Great coffee, Great Food, Great Service, Great Staff! What more do you need? ���
Located just across from Essendon station, this cafe serves excellent coffee and good quality food that is very reasonably priced. I had the vegetable fritters which comes with tomato relish and a poached egg, and my friend had the big breakfast. Absolutely delicious. The dishes were reasonably priced, and sides average $2 - $3. Lots of seats available, and a perfect place to visit for brunch or lunch. This will be a regular brunch spot for me.
Great, trendy cafe offering delicious, affordable food & excellent coffee.
Staff were friendly & efficient. They have a breakfast & lunch menu & there’s also a large display with other home made goodies on offer. Today’s selection included arancini, various quiche, sausage rolls & lasagna, sandwiches & salads also made on request.
I come here regularly and couldn’t recommend it enough. It’s very affordable, great food and coffee and the service is fantastic. Looks great with the new renovations too.
Went Saturday morning 10am. So busy but staff were very good and attentive! Stayed for 4+ hours yet staff kept bringing water, so we were very impressed and happy. Ordered the Baked Eggs which was delicious, and the Organic Green juice which was great. Great service and affordable prices. Will definitely return.
Great value prices and good selection of menu items.Had the chicken parma which was on point washed down with good coffee.
Expansion to the premises was needed as it could get a little cramped in there.
Excellent all round ! Now with a liquor License and outdoor deck even better !
Good coffee here. The service is also really nice and friendly too.
I had a strong skinny latte and it was delicious. It had an earthy flavour, nice, bit too hot and it was strong without being bitter.
Definitely worth a visit if you want a good coffee opposite Essendon train station.
Food took a little while, but understandable since my partner and I changed up our orders from the menu quite significantly. In terms of taste, Benny and Me never disappoints. Good on you guys
Great place for brekky... my hubby loved the big breakfast on offer and the avo on toast was delicious! Hubby says best brekky this summer! Oh yes... and the coffee was right up there too.
We had an amazing experience. The food was great and the staff were wonderful. I had the chilli eggs which was very nice. The vibe of the place was great also.
Brunch here today. Tea, coffee, iced coffee, chips, fruit toast and a toasted sandwich. Service was friendly, helpful and quick. Coffee and tea were served as asked for. Needed more sauce for chips but should have just asked. Great to see a family running a business. Acoustics not great when busy-- soft furnishing needed?

I visit Benny and Me frequently. I am always accommodated- taste, serving, seating. We also use this cafe for catering at the organisation at which I am employed. Very well received on numerous occasions!

I love this little cafe. Great staff, always really friendly and much more importantly the coffee is amazing. Makes the train to work just that little less painful.

Visited Benny & Me with my girlfriend on Sunday and ordered a great coffee, Mr Benny (eggs Benedict) and the gf ordered simple poached eggs on toast with avocado. Food was pretty good! On par with a lot of other brunch places around, left satisfied.

Staff were friendly and efficient. This small cafe has a lot to offer, from sit down meals to a take away sandwich when you're on the run. Food was tasty, but parma could have been cooked a little more (I like my cheese really cooked and crispy)
Really nice place, and great food/service. Came in pretty close to closing time but the guys were still happy to help us out with food and coffees.
Cheers!
Was going to try out another place today but found it empty so I decided to try this place I spotted driving up the street and it had a few people in the outside eating area it is small but quaint inside and during my stay had many people come in and get turned away because of no tables left I service and food was great and staff was very friendly it's only downfall I found was parking was so hard to find near by all in all I would recommend to others to try and for me this time it was breakfast but will return to try lunch another time
The staff here are friendly and efficient and the food is always good for the price. A quite cosy place that can be quite busy at times. Good coffee.
