Been there a few times and there chai latte with soy milk it’s good. Price is reasonable. Can be busy at times but service by staff is friendly and nice. There banana bread is also good as well.
Hidden Gem inside Victoria university footscray campus. You get bang of flavours for every bucks you spend.
Came here for weekend brunch and greeted with nice waiter in a cosy library like environment. Looking at the price menu, we didnot put high expectation, but was amazed. We highly recommend their French Toast. The corn fritters were nice as well but sadly bit soggy.
...being away from the commercial strips of cafes, The Reading Room Cafe didn’t have the infamous Melbourne brunch crowds and we found that we could really eat at leisure. It
Variety is king at the Reading Room cafe. The constantly rotating seasonal menu means you can expect quince in the winter and crab croquettes in the spring. With an unfortunate location, buried deep within Victoria Univ
Reading Room Cafe is one of my favourite places for brunch in the West. It’s in an unlikely spot- hidden away in Building P of Victoria University but that’s what I love most about it! It’s almost like a hideaway, somewhere where you can take a book and escape the rush of popular weekend brunch spots like Yarraville and Seddon.
The coffee here came from Sensory Lab, and they occasionally get their beans from Auction Rooms as well. It was slightly sour, with a mild taste of berries and an exceptionally strong body (though surprisingly, it didn't have much of a linger). Definitely a good, savory coffee.
Back to the pizza - it comes laden with juicy tomato (which I like to think was picked that morning), field mushrooms, cheddar and parmesan cheese combo, not one but TWO eggs and shaved bacon. I gotta say, having the bacon so thinly sliced is genius for a dish like this, not too much salt factor.
I had the Fritter's Lane and it was divine. The fritters were beautiful - crispy and flavourful. The eggs were perfectly poached and all the flavours married together beautifully. I would return for these alone!
Coming back? Yes, definitely! Every thing was YUM and the ambience was great too. Plus the service was excellent, the lady always came and checking on us including offering us more dishes :p Reading Room Cafe (Victoria University) on Urbanspoon
This. Was. Woahwieskjdzngvx, Amazing. Better than Hutong. As soon as I placed a piece of fat in my mouth it melted across the tongue and was gone. Remoulade was very creamy and a refreshing break from decadent pork.
The staff here are amazingly friendly. Their coffee is well made and I've never have to wait too long. There's inside seating for the colder days and in summer the doors fold back to allow easier access to the outside seating. A great little Cafe on campus it also has a range of quick (heat and serve style) lunch options, sandwiches, sausage rolls, pastries, banana bread etc.
lovely place to chill at as a vic uni student, the rolls are ridiculous as to how good they taste! i love getting my BLACK coffee because they make it just how i like it :)
Great little cafe in the middle of the VU campus. Has the best coffee on campus with great alt milk options (MilkLab Almond & Bonsoy soy). Helpful, friendly staff, prompt service. Great selection of preprepared meals & cakes, but only a few gluten free options. Also have fresh meals on the menu, I had eggs on toast (pictured) was delicious! Recommend
Excellent spot for a coffee, friendly staff who are happy to help with menu adjustments
My favourite spot in town! The staff is super friendly, helpful and will perfect your order after a couple of visits - I am so particular and yet my soy chai latte is made to perfection! Prices are as in every other cafe; it is part of the Uni so the opening hours depend on Vic Uni as well, but I've never had a slight issue here. Definitely come for coffee and a bite!
Love the uni budget friendly lunches under $10
