This place is perfect. I work up the road and this is my regular. Wonderful staff- so friendly! Superb coffee. Amazing food- extremely yummy and generous. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.
If anyone's looking for a perfect coffee and the yummiest food, this is the perfect place to be..!! Friendly staff and great service and simply love their food culture, I was there this weekend with a group of friends and will definitely be going back..!!
Omg!!!! Talk about baby friendly, baby loving cafe. The waiters here are so nice and helpful.... to the point they took my baby's milk while i ate to heat up for him. I didnt even sat down the batista shouted at me, 'coffee?' 'Soy cap'
Totally will be coming back again with my bub... great food, great coffee!!!!
Totally made my day
Best coffees that i have had, and i have been to many places. Nice atmosphere too
Great place to eat,drink, chill and relax. Handicapped accessible. Great place
I went here last week with my partner for coffee. Fair to say that the service was great and the coffee was everything to my liking. Thank you.
Amazing cafe. Guilty of not coming earlier! Loved to coffee and atmosphere
My favourite coffee shop! Grrrreat coffee and service. Great food. A pity no WIFI.
I came here on Saturday for a 21st Birthday brunch with a few friends. Walking in, it had a buzzing atmosphere, most tables were filled. It's a very cosy café.
I ordered the Lamb Benny which was roasted lamb shoulder, spinach, hollandaise sauce, two poached eggs on multigrain, micro herbs and a balsamic glaze. I had a latte as well.
The dish looked very elegant on the palate, the portion size wasn't massive but the meal did fill me up. The lamb was cooked perfectly, tender and it was very succulent. The poached eggs were also cooked well with a runny yolk. The bread was toasted and all of the flavours worked well together. I found that the hollandaise sauce was a little overpowering especially with how much they put on it. However, overall, I was pleased with my meal.
Prices are standard for a café and would recommend this place if you're a local or around the area.
A small little place close to Glenhuntly station. I had the egyptian dukkah toast and chai latte. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the chai latte (loose leaf) was one of the best I have had. A definite place to check out if you are in the vicinity for brunch.
Friendly staff, good variety of food, reasonable price. The coffee was well made. The thick cut chips were amazing the outside garden area is very nice
Popped in for brunch and had the quinoa porridge cooked with coconut milk & fruits. I'm normally not into this type of thing but I loved it. Another person had the acai bowl which also contained strawberries and crunchy granola which was lovely too. The baklava was moist and full of honey and lastly the coffee was strong and good quality. Nice atmosphere except when people bring in small children who yell & the echo is deafening- that's why McDonalds exists.
"Dukkah Toast"
The dish had a good combination of flavours, loved the grilled tomato and goats cheese. The service was great! The only thing this dish needed was more avocado, as there wasn't much on the dish, just lots of rocket.
Cafe Whyte isn't the trendiest of melbourne cafes but a visit guarantees money worth spent. Servings are extremely generous in size and they are very accommodating (ie swaps and substitutes aren't met with hesitations or exorbitant additional prices). Expect to wait a while for your coffee though it's very good!
Lovely cafe food, I had a smoked salmon bagel which was soft and extremely full of ingredients. My friend had a mushroom and chicken gnocchi which was nice warm and hearty. The gnocchi was lovely and soft too. The moment you walk in you feel welcome. Will definitely go back.
What i love about Whyte Cafe is the large courtyard with heaters with plenty of room for a pram, meaning bub can have brunch with us. We ordered a heap of food: breaky stack, corn fritters, smashed avo with poached eggs, lamb mousaka, and a plate of sides. Food all out within 10min. Great service and brilliant coffees. Thanks team!
Situated in a subcontinental pocket of Glenhuntly, the suspiciously named "Whyte" does a commendable job pressing Artful Dodger beans. There is an area outside, at the front of the premises, which is a handy spot to eat breakfast in the sunshine, whilst your pooch mingles with community canines. This is a wonderful ambience, which comes for free with your meal, until one or more of the nearby dogs defecates on the footpath
Good food, good vibe, nice coffee without being amazing, but the food makes up for it. Love being hit by that fresh coffee smell as you walk in the door, the background music is on point and, importantly, the staff are friendly and efficient.
Whyte cafe being local is my go to place for a quick coffee. Some of their menu offerings are good but i think needs an slight bit of improvement. I haven't tried the whole menu but so far thumbs up for a great service and food. I will definitely be going back to see if i could rate them 5 in my next trip
This cafe has a wonderful aroma of coffee that makes you want to take a seat and enjoy a cuppa...that's an immediate plus. The coffee itself was pretty good but not awesome. This is, nevertheless, the best in Glen Huntly that I know.
From the signage I thought this was a branch of The Artful Dodger, didn't quite notice the Whyte brand name...there's White Lady almost next door though!
Casual little cafe with a surprisingly great menu. Coffee could have been better though. I ordered the super salad with broccoli, kale, beetroot relish, freekah and citrus dressing with a side of bacon. The salad was incredibly filling and the bacon was generous and crispy.
I was meant to try Whyte for quite some time. I have to say my first visit this week is exceeding my expectation. As a fan of Artful Dodger, Whyte is more like a sister of that Elsternwick institution. From the coffee (same Artful Dodger blend) to the food style are so similar. Lovely fit out with painted wall is awesome. I've tried lots of cafes in Glen Huntley and Whyte is definitely one of the best around. Highly recommended.
Atmosphere was okay, I would prefer workshop brothers over this place (they are on the same road, just 5 or so stores apart). Coffee was average, food was average as well. Overall an okay experience.
Best chocolate brownie cake with nice coffee. We had breakfast recently but we started with chocolate brownie to see the level of their offerings and not at all disappointed. After brownie straight to breakfast and really enjoyed what we had. Would visit again
This place has really picked up with the new owners ... coffee was lovely and i had the rosti stack which was a great combination of flavours and colours and nice and hot ... didnt wait long to be served and the staff were happy to be there. . All in all a great experience for one of my fav cafes
Awesome cafe!
Can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing breakfast foods.
Killer coffee and friendly staff.
Bonus points for outdoor heating.
Not bad, not amazing. Slow cooked lamb wrap a real winner.
Popped in to Whyte on Tuesday for the Pendejo Wrap, was truly amazing!!
Black bean,jalapeño, avocado,sambol,tasy cheese and spinach with fries.
Yummy Yummy.
Also had a fantastic flat white with it.
Keep up the good work Whyte!!!

If you’re out and about in this cafe’s neighbourhood, I wouldn’t hesitate to pop in and try their dishes. It’s my favourite cafe by far, with a great atmosphere and even better food.
Sweet Potato Stack. Sweet potato rosti with bacon spinach red pesto and poached eggs
Great place for breakfast. Tasty dishes
Excellent. We had the corn fritters breakfast with salmon and poached egg and the breakfast stack. It was SUPERB ! Great breakfast.
Great coffee. Great staff. Very enjoyable ..... Will definitely go back for this café.
Smiles and caffeine. I felt incredibly welcome from the moment I walked through the door to the moment it was opened for my exit by a smiling and jovial staff member. Although I ate no food upon my first visit (running on a tight schedule) the dishes I saw on the tables next to me looked, and smelled very enthrawling.
Oh well next time.
The barista prepared quickly for me two exceptional black coffees. Try the single origin if you can.
I felt I learned a lot more about the coffee science in our brief chat.
Keep up the good work!

Too popular for its customers' own good. I was on the hunt for a morning cuppa after tramming way out Glen Huntly Road to one of the rare shops that sells batteries like the one that had died in my ancient mobile phone. (Fark with paying Apple or Samsung for a trendy new phone toy every year -- I'm anti-status that way.) Whyte was by far the busiest brekky place on the Glen Huntly shopping strip. I don't know whether that's because it's so popular -- it WAS full of diners -- or because people were sitting around a long time waiting for their orders. I don't usually comment on the service when I review a place on Urbanspoon -- I go out to eat, not be fawned upon -- but Whyte's order-taking and food delivery system seemed confused. The waitstaff was friendly, but I noticed a lot of rushing around, duplicated efforts, uncertainty about who ordered what, etc. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. From what I overheard sticky-beaking on the yuppie-ish crowd at tables around me, they get a lot of repeat trade, so Whyte must be doing something right.
The large flat white I had was good; robust flavour, on the stronger side of coffees I've had in Melbourne. The lone bloke doing the baristo service was swamped with all the orders (Whyte does lots of tea service, too) but he still microfoamed my coffee well. I wasn't blown away by the brekky choices -- your basic cafe culture choices, and $1 or $2 more than typical pricing. Whyte didn't have an overwhelming variety of pastries on hand, but when the waiter asked if I'd like a sweet or savoury muffin, I went for the latter, because I don't see those everywhere. It was good! It tasted like it was made there, not insourced from a provedore, and they served it with a heaping swack of butter. The muffin was laced with green capsicum (not one of my favourite veggies) but it mainly tasted of onion and cheese. I mean that in a good way. It was like eating a pizza muffin. It was substantial enough that I didn't start feeling hungry again until 5 p.m.
Very average breakfast, nothing you can't do at home, average hot bread shop bread, non free range eggs. Safeway bacon. Too many good places to try.
Yummy. I went here for breakfast today and couldn't be more impressed. Service was really good and they were really accommodating to my dietary requirements!! My breakfast (field mushrooms and eggs) was really delicious, my boyfriend had poached eggs with a few sides which he loved. Coffee was great too!
Lovely service and scrumptious food. Popular with locals and very friendly. Definitely a place to check out.
Great little cafe. Friendly staff. Good coffee :)
Yum. My experience at Whyte has been consistently positive. I live nearby so frequent it often and have always found the staff to be welcoming and friendly! Coffee is delicious, roti wrap is amazing.
Great coffee.... I really like this place and on my free time I like to hang out there to have a delicious coffee. The food is good too.The only thing is that every now and then (not always) the service is lacking of politness...but overall a good experience.
Thank you to Whyte for a really great cafe experience. I recently stayed in the area with a friend and despite there being many, many cafes and eateries down the length of Glenhuntly Road, few inspire! However, Whyte ticks all the boxes - fabulous coffee (Artful Dodger), good, interesting food, hip music, friendly, helpful staff and a great vibe all add up to a satisfying cafe experience! Artful Dodger cafe further down Glenhuntly Rd in Elsternwick and part of the group, is great too. I'll miss my take away coffee from them, on my way to work! Again, great staff and a good vibe!
Best soy chai in glenhuntly
Melbourne Cafe Restaurant Review
+4.5
50 Shades of Whyte!. When you walk into a cafe 300 out of 365 days a year, faces become familiar. This cafe has been my local for 3 years running so I may be biased but something keeps pulling me back there! Friendly staff, fresh food, great coffee and a large heated courtyard out the back! I can't go passed the avo and fetta mash with a side of smoked salmon & best bircher in town! Generous portions and lots of variety.
Lovely staff. Excellent coffee - just like Wellington, NZ :) We like our coffee in Wellington, and I absolutely loved my flat white from Whyte.
Whyte is an Artful Dodger. The guys at the Artful Dodger certainly have earned their reputation. The Whyte Cafe is a great testament to their success in Elsternwick. I love, love, love their courtyard. The menu has a great range of food and the juice and muesli was a great start to my new improved eating habits.It simply means I can enjoy the comforts and experience of the great Melbourne cafe scene without forgo-ing my need to shed a few kilos. I enjoyed the ambience and service was friendly. I do understand Mushmash's comment that the takeaway customers get served first and I'd be happy to be treated that way if I was taking-away as surely those of us who have the chance to dine-in have a little more time to spare. Thankyou for the welcoming and great service.
Went for brekky. They were unfortunately out of their chai bircher :( so went with their toasted muesli which was nice
friend got the green fritters which were quite oily and salty which was disappointing.
service was friendly from the waitresses
Seriously great food and excellent customer service and being in the industry I don't say this lightly, but the best coffee in Melbourne the house blend is full of caramel highlights and the weekly single origin specials keep things interesting
The food is always good and lively
Good food, not very good service. Had to wait awhile to be served, pretty busy though, maybe because there trying to find more kitchen help.
Em... not that bad like the others say.. I didn't get the bad experience like all previous reviewers mentions. Maybe I went in during a non busy time. Food were nice and coffee was good. The waiting staffs were nice and funny.
Best in area.... Easily the best in Glenhuntly (& possibly the rest of the City of Glen Eira); built on the success of the Artful Dodger this is, simply put, a great place. Only shame is they don't do dinners...
We love having this cafe just around the corner to take our family and friends to when they visit. Consistently awesome food. My favorite is the lemon thyme chicken foccascia (though I get it on sourdough). Great coffee, love the atmosphere. Ticks all our boxes and is one of our favorites, we are thankful its so close!! A+++
Loved it. Going from one of the only two cafe's in Glen Huntly, I would highly suggest Whyte over its rival any day. Whyte have an impressive menu, their staff is friendly and nice, and the service is amazing.
the food is tasty and always comes out on time, and don't get me started on the coffees. Best part though?
The outdoor section.
A long overdue review for this great little cafe. I have seen it grow over the years and it just becomes better and better. The food is fantastic, I am partial to the eggs Benedict which I LOVE! The coffee is amazing but what makes this place stand out is the exceptional customer service. The staff are always friendly, some even remembering me and making an effort to as how I am. They go that extra little bit to ensure you are having a good experience with them whether it be for a quick coffee or a meal. The decor has changed steadily but from start to finish has always been inviting and relaxed. Love this place!
Lovely. I met a friend here for breakfast this morning..we ordered coffee, poached eggs with ham on a bagel(me) and poached eggs with avocado(my buddy)..the eggs were cooked perfectly and the coffee was good.
The staff were friendly and the service was quick, which was perfect before work.
Just had the chicken and matzah ball soup of the day, which came with perfectly toasted herb bread. Absolutely splendid meal, the coffee was outstanding as always and the service warm, friendly and punctual. I will be coming here for noms very regularly from now on. :)
Maybe going downhill but still a great meal.. The new look cafe has fantastic atmosphere. This is helped in no small part by the great, friendly, passionate and fast waitstaff. The new look has also come with new owners and a completely revamped menu. The menu change has unfortunately meant a great deal of the best items have been culled. I was quite disappointed by the new options. Still good food but the menu has definitely declined. After loyally eating there for 3 years might be time I start exploring other local cafés.
Good coffee, BUT I leave a bit earlier for work so I can sit and have a coffee but it makes little difference at this cafe because if you order take away you jump the queue regardless. Extremely frustrating to sit their watching customers walking in 10 minutes after I ORDERED and then walk out out a minute later with their coffee. I have been a barista for some time and this is sh1t service
Brilliant!. Extensive menu, yummy food, great service & nicely revamped decor! Despite living 2 minutes away & this being my 'local', I'd given up on the old Whyte due to uninspiring menu & shrinking food amount (...not to mention the cranky staffer who's unfortunately still there but is slightly less gruff!).
I'm rapt with the new version of Whyte! Glen Huntly, ie not Carnegie, needed this vibrant & well run cafe. It's rare to find a cafe where it's hard to choose from the menu as there's so much that sounds appealing & even better is that everything I've tried there has been delicious: fresh, yummy & great portion size/temperature.
As a local I'm really thankful that Whyte Cafe has rebounded & is even better than ever!
A great place for breakfast - delicious food, good serving size, nice coffee and excellent service- looking forward to going back.
Fantastic!. Great Food + Doss Blockos Beer + Lick Pier Ginger Beer = Awesome!
Only ordered coffee. It’s consistently good coffee and friendly service. Definitely my go to when I’m at the local playground with the kids.
Consistently great coffee & very friendly service. Very nice cafe in Glenhuntly. Can't wait to try the food.
Nice little cafe hidden among the shops. I've been here several times and was not disappointed once.
They got the basics right! Great consistent coffee, lovely staff and pleasant ambience!
I've not tried food here, so the rating just speaks for my coffee experience!
Really good coffee with fast and friendly service. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a quality caffeine hit in the Glenhuntly area. Definitely keen to come back and try the food
Good coffee but no meals at all.
