Review Lalage - Hawthorn

Dani L

This is one of the best Japanese style cafe I have found in Melbourne! The coffee is on point and the food is amazing! If you crave for authentic high quality Japanese food because you can’t travel to Japan yet, come to this cafe. All the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful, the kitchen is very efficient too. The interior of the cafe is nicely decorated, so bright filled with sunlight, its also very spacious with comfy seats. Highly recommend the sesame latte (no caffeine) and the Tempura Prawn Sandwich!!

pretty satisfied with the experience! ☺polite and attentive staffs, fully utilised internal spaces but not crowded, you may find little thoughtful little details everyone like colour pencils for children, etc food and coffee was amazing, my friend and I ordered the onigiri brekky set, prawn brioche sandwich and a cap! will definitely return to try others like sesame latte 😋 nice area, situated at a corner, it was not hard to find parking places. 🚙

Such a lovely calming and refreshing Japanese infused decor. The food was exceptional, the staff delightful - honestly, I did not expect this! Well done

Good little coffee shop, modern clean and well presented. Indoor and outdoor tables. Lovely staff. Only criticism is the cups are small in comparison to normal, so coffees are small

Wow what a surprising Cafe with Japanese inspired menu. Went for a sandwich and ordered somthing far more delicious. Onigiri (panko rice balls) with prawns & a curry sauce on the side. With a tasty garnish. Just great on a freezing day.

Such a nice and cute place!! I absolutely loved the ham and cheese croissant and their matcha latte. I didn’t get to take a nice picture because we were in a rush and ate in the car but I absolutely recommend this place for a nice brekkie or lunch:)

We just went there to pick up a takeaway brunch (not dining in because we are in lockdown). The American person at the counter was unwelcoming, rushed our order, and appeared confused when we ordered a chicken burger - there are only 2 burgers on the menu for them to remember. The food was expensive - $11 for scrambled eggs and the eggs are oily and crusty. A lot of bread for the small egg serving. Coffee was not good - sour and milky. This was a pretty disappointing experience.
