I shared two dishes with a friend, first was the Baba Bao. Three delightful steamed Taiwanese Bao a soft delicate crab with a lovely chili mayo, and fresh cucumber. Then a Pork Belly with a pickled mustard to die for. Thirdly a kara-age chicken with a tasty sauce.
Then the Hong Kong Egg Waffle, wow this was truly amazing. with custard so light and creamy. That berry compote sweet but not overpowering, then green tea and pistachio praline bringing the dish quietly together. A mouthwatering delight.
I will be back.
Food is beautiful, wonderful fusion, but totally unpretentious. Have dined here a few times, and always impressed.
Hong kong egg waffle and toastie were a good waffle and so delicious!
One of those reviews you don’t want to write because you’re not sure you want to share this gem of a plaice. With an all day breakfast and a creative Japanese take on the menu, this place feels calm and quiet even when it’s bustling. Sophisticated vibe but very welcoming. Just a great choice.

A cafe close to Glen Iris station drew my attention through its cute teddy art with every hot chocolate and matcha drinks. What did surprise me more from the place is the quality of their dishes. The cafe put together an asian fusion menu which included dishes like the okonomoyaki and chilli egg scramble.
Japanese cabbage and corn fritter 4/5: While the dish was amazingly presented and tastes like the okonomoyaki dish from Japan it did not need the ham to complete this dish. Having poached egg on any dish will always be a yes from me so I was quite satisfied with the dish.
Chilli prawn egg scramble 3/5 - special menu: Not being a fan of prawn and eggs together, the flavours still came out quite nicely. The egg was fluffy and had a nice kick to it. Would have liked the croissant to have been a little more toasted and the dish to have something to cut the richness of the prawn and eggs.
Potato croquettes 3.5/5: From the value of this dish in proportion to the quantity you get it did not disappoint. The broccoli salad which I quite enjoyed, gave the dish a balance between the hollandaise and the fried potatoes. The croquettes were crisp but also fluffy inside. The presentation was eye-catching and as a fan of smoked salmon, I am definitely planning to reorder this next time.
Drinks 2.5/5: Disappointing to find that the hot chocolate from mork did not live up to our standards as it tasted quite watery rather than rich with chocolate flavour. The matcha latte was also a little milkier to my liking. Adding a bit more would do no one any harm am I right? The art however shows that extra attention the Barista give to their customers which I quite appreciated.
Overall I quite liked the ambience of the cafe and the overall presentation of the food. Flavours were different to most brunch places which gave this place an edge I'll remember it by.
Really cute cafe. New and trendy fit out, food was delicious had a modern Japanese touch to the menu. Coffee was great and staff were lovely. Will be back!
The best hong kong egg waffles I’ve had. Would return just to eat them again. Light and fluffy but should be eaten quick as the hot waffles melt the ice cream.
Nice friendly cafe with yummy food. We ordered the egg waffle and baos..both very tasty. Although i do like my egg waffles a lil crispier. The matcha latte was nice too with a cute bear.
One of the best cafes in Melbourne. Beautiful and cute matcha latte. Be sure to try the Baos, my favourite out of the fried chicken, soft sheep crab and pork belly would be the pork. But you get all three and they are all awesome.

Been here twice which 1st time was over a weekend and the 2nd time was a weekday. Both times didnt disappoint at all. The flavor of the food has good flavor so no extra salt or pepper is required.
We ordered the ramen, Boa and the chicken wrap. The Ramen noodles had a nice bean paste flavor and the noodles where perfectly cooked. Nothing is worse than having over cooked noodles.
The Boa was pretty average with a very small amount of soft shell crab. I thought little bit more sauce would be nice tho. The chicken wrap was amazing. Chicken was very juicy, not over fried and with the comination with cabage and i think Japanese mayo really hit the spot.
Lovely presentation with my matcha latte but couldnttaste the match flavor. The vietamese coffee could have been little sweater and slightly stronger.
Im big on cleanliness, coz if you cant keep you premises clean then how clean is ur kitchen??? I would say the decor of the premises is kept minimal and is very clean. Store is rather small so you can be sitting rather close to the next table.
The reason i didnt give this place a 5/5 would be becoz i only got great customer service from one person but the rest of the members didnt seem to happy
With a great score comes great expectations and I’m sorry that this place, although good, just did not live up to these expectations. Don’t get me wrong, the food was delicious and beautifully presented however the coffee was average and the service lax
Well hello, you beauty! Stumbled across this glorious little place when looking for a new place. Sure, it’s slightly out of the way for us, but I would definitely return for the great service and really great vibe.
Had the bao bun medley, with soft shell crab, chicken and pork belly! Damn, it was tasty!
If you like something different that standard “modern” cafe , Baba Sus did not disappoint! You need to try their crispy pork belly!! Just look at the photos that I posted. Hig portion too. We also ordered the omelette, so yummy. I have been so many cafes and lately they offered similar food OR the portions are too small 😄 We will definitely come back.
Love coming to Baba Sus. Always delicious. Really enjoy the fusion of Asian and western cuisine. I usually go for their HK waffles but thought I'd try something different this time.
LOVE everything about this place! Okay so the Waffles are AMAZING!!! Everything on that plate compliments one another and it is just delicious! Coffee is amazing, all other food is fantastic. ZERO faults.
Book ahead, it gets busy!
Love this place! The egg waffles with custard, matcha ice cream and raspberry coulis is amazing. Honestly I haven't tried anything else on their menu but its worth it for that alone. I've taken a few dates on there and one of them is going to be my future wife now. Great memories here. Love it!
Really great meals great service will be back for more
Asian fusion cafe, we loved the HongKong egg waffle, custard are great to taste with highlights of berries, crispy waffle too!
Congee is something rare in cafe, I like the congee but maybe not all the toppings. Baba bao I reckon is a good dish, like very stable dish, not difficult to failed the taste!
However, still good food and coffee! Will revisit !
