Great place! Best coffee! Great owners and staff! Great Service! So lucky this is my local♥️♥️♥️ Great selection of cakes and tasty fresh meals!!
I have been here on 2 separate occasions and very much enjoy the food. Brunch (with coffee) for 4 people comes to about $100, which is very reasonable. It's your typical Melbourne brunch. Would recommend the smashed avo dish, fritters or big brekkie.
The food is pretty good & the service is generally fast, even though this place is huge. A nice spot for breakfast on the weekend.
The one thing that concerns me is price, it's a little over budget for me.
The coffee is great. Food is marvellous. The environment is good with friendly staff.
Had brunch here, tried 3 dishes, everything came out perfect.
Always had a lovely meal and coffee .. great atmosphere and quick service.. been one of my regulars for a while now.. thanks guys.. always a pleasure
Got the Zeus (big brekky) and the poached eggs on smashed avo. Quality food and reasonable serve! Only complaints, and these are slight, is the customer service was a little impersonal and seemed like she didn’t want to be there and they don’t allow any meal alterations, only additions.
Came here on a Sunday for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. Chapter Too is so much bigger than any other cafe I think I’ve ever been too! It took a while to be served but once we ordered, we didn’t have to wait long for our food and drinks. The fruit toast is sooooo good 👌🏼 I also had the orange, carrot and ginger juice which was delicious and zingy! My friend had the fritters which looked and smelled amazing. Can’t wait to go back soon!
I called into this café for a light breakfast, I ordered toast and a cappuccino, and I was shocked by what I received, the 2 slices of sour dough toast were massive and with delicious rhubarb jam tasted fantastic, the coffee was very nice, and I was pleased to be able to read the morning paper whilst having my breakfast, it was a very positive dining experience 10/10 would recommend this café to anyone
Good service and friendly staff. Interior decor ok. Only ordered a milkshake (40 degree day) but it hit the spot. Will come back and have a brekky or lunch
A semi-regular favourite when we're in the area. Chapter Too is big and has a good brunch menu. The food on offer here isn't pushing the envelope, but they do their burgers, eggs and coffee well. The shared brunch platter is worth the spend to split over coffee and the paper. Service can be a little slow and inattentive but it's not actively bad.
Spacious, good service and nice coffee. Had the I am Maximus for brekky. The bacon was delicious and the homemade hash brown beautiful; in fact everything on the plate tasted great. Nothing to complain about.
A very big, well appointed cafe in Heathmont. Great decor. Clean amenities. Good seating options and an open fire place which was very inviting on a cold Melbourne morning.
Hubby and I stopped for breakfast here and we were not disappointed. I had the omega fix with an added house made hash brown. Great flavours and very large servings. My coffee was enjoyable however it was perhaps a bit on the cold side.
The staff were not engaging at all but they cannot be faulted for not doing their job. They served us and cleared our tables promptly.
Food was sensational! I had the Reuben! I was fully satisfied perfect blend of flavours, presentation, amount of food! I wouldn't have changed a thing!
The staff weren't overly friendly, they were nice but nothing above and beyond the atmosphere was good not too crowded or loud and there were options for some seating in the sunshine! Beautiful lunch experience :-)
Great place to visit for a light meal. Delicious food made with quality ingredients. Service is always prompt. It's a little on the pricey side though.
I came here yesterday for a birthday lunch not knowing this cafe existed. What an absolute delight it was. The coffee was sensational and The Reuben Sandwich was a treat. Will be coming back here for sure!
Nice breakfast options but the real winner here are the chips, which you unfortunately cannot get until after 12pm. They are fat, crunchy and delicious! All meal sizes are large and the eggs are always cooked perfectly. Ask for your Chai Latte strong and it will be just right.
Great food and pretty good coffee. I'm a big fan of this place out in the suburbs. The food is always ready super quick. I don't think I have waited longer than 10 minutes but it's usually 3-5. The quality is great, and the service is friendly. The chefs aren't a fan of alterations to the menu though, it always seems to be a hassle. Overall good experience though.
Cafe was very spacious and great for kids n bubs. Staff were warm n friendly. Kids were offered coloring books. We were there on a Sat afternoon and the cafe was pretty empty.
Food portions were big and generous. We tried the Rueben and Admiral. Food was okay, nothing wow. Loved my herbal chips & iced chocolate tho!
Who knew that there could be decent brunch in Heathmont? I didn't, that's for sure. Chapter Too seems pretty unassuming from the outside, just on a normal suburban shopping strip. However, once you step inside, the funky decor and light fixtures adumbrates a pleasant brunch to be had. Book covers were painted white and and black eagles were painted on top. I don't know what that symbolises exactly, but it sure looked cool.
Popped in for brekky this morning with our pooch.
They provided a bowl of water for her (proper dog bowl) which was lovely.
Food there is delicious however, it would be great if they could cater a little more to the vegetarian and vegan crowd, as there are so few places in the outer Eastern suburbs that do (without having to drive to Belgrave). Not asking for a whole menu, just a few things to choose from.
My vegan husband ended up having avocado and spinach on toast (suggested by the waitress) as the mushrooms were cooked in butter.
Service was lovely, coffee was great.
Provided me with a vegan option when there was nothing to choose from on the menu. I very much appreciated it. The coffee is also very good.
Great food! Great service. Food can take a little time but that can be expected when its always packed. Going to have my engagement party here. Quality of food is so consistent been coming weekly for 3+ years since it opened. I would recommend the salad they do which name changes slightly depending on the seasonal produce in it as a guy i don't usually order any salads anywhere but love this one worth trying with the poached egg on top. Barista knows his stuff too!
Business meetings call for business lunch. The meals exceeded our expectations.
Food Ordered:
The Makanek - exactly what I was craving. A Lebanese style meal, generous portion of sausages, fried egg, labne and Beetroot relish. I do wish there labne was a bit lighter and there was more Lebanese bread, but all up great value and flavour. Considering it was $20 meal and met its price well. My friend ordered a chicken salad and was loving it. Tender chicken and great flavours.
Ambience:
A very large layout with ample seating and a full bar available. A bit outdated when compared to many city cafes. But a good fit for this suburban area.
Overall a good experience and a great food spot
I love this place. The food is always good, they attend to my needs. The staff are always friendly and it makes the service great. The location is easy to get to and it's a nice quick drive from home with lots of parking. The bacon is definitely my favourite with lots of flavour! The coffee is really good too. I love coming here.
Big fan of my local. Always a solid breakfast and a recently changed menu which is definitely promising to deliver. Always a few sneaky specials to tickle your fancy, and everyone loves a good pun in a menu item name.
Delicious, smooth coffee and the cold drip is my personal favourite, even on those cold winter days.
Had the Omega fix on the weekend with rye & smoked salmon and that was brilliant. Was a big fan of the man(lady)wich as well so hope to see that back on the menu soon. Give it a try!
J and I stopped here for lunch. I ordered a mug of chai latte, which was standard fare and not too sweet. Jason's thick shake was a nice surprise - actually thick American style milkshake with more ice cream than milk.
I had their pork belly. It turned out really nice and crispy at first but reduced to tough bits at the end of the meal as the sauces drench the crispy skin. The salad and sweet sesame dressing on top was a nice complement to the Asian flavour.
J's burger was deemed "OK" by him. The fries were fantastic, I had a bite and decided I'd return for the fries and shake if nothing else!
Good ambiance for family meals, open and uncluttered with decent service.
Big open cafe with staff that are usually pretty helpful. We were able to have a meeting there for 12 adults for breakfast. Food was good & coffee is always consistent here.
Very friendly local cafe! Great place for breaky and or coffee. Friendly staff are always welcoming! Plenty of room and facilities for prams and changing nappies. Beautiful outdoor (smoke free) undercover eating area. I find the food a little bit over priced but overshadowed but all the good :)
Always nice food but I don't understand why they won't make very simple changes requested! Like having a slice of cheese on my vegi burger.
First time visit for coffee only today...lovely setting & gas fire. Coffee was great & staff really friendly & attentive. Will be back to try food next time!
I don’t get out to the Outer East suburbs very much but when I went visiting it was great to discover a local child-friendly cafe in Heathmont called Chapter Too. The cafe was spacious with plenty of room for prams as well as numerous high chairs. As we had booked they had already set us up on a big spacious table by the window and set out plastic cups for the kids. The window is prime position as the space is cavernous so I imagine it can feel a bit lonely up the back – though there is a neat wall cladding made with books and a mural of bird and trees.
I generally love my visits to Chapter Too. Great coffee and a pretty good menu. But the last couple of times I've visited I've found that the staff seem really unobservant. We had a table of four yesterday and we had to ask for menus after sitting for about 10 minutes, then I had to flag someone down to take our orders. Once our meals arrived that was it. The waitresses never cleared our plates, or return to ask if we were interested in another round of coffees. I just think that the floor staff need a little more direction and training.
Coffee here is hit and miss. It's okay if the barista is having a good day.
Service is really inconsistent. Weekend staff never appear to be able to handle the large crowds. It's strange because it is the same staff working each weekend and the place is always busy so this shouldn't come as a shock to them.
Food is good. Really good.
The share plate breakfast for two is huge and delicious.
The "Too corn fritters" are amazing and I usually order these. This is also the reason I keep coming back.
Mostly I have breakfast here and have never been disappointed.
I love the shared breakfast platter and the coffee is always delicious. Depending on what staff are working determines how long you wait for anything, or even how much communication is given.
The shared breakfast platter has equal servings of fruit toast, plain toast, avocado, fetta, roast tomatos, eggs of your choosing, chorizo and the bircher museli. I like that the portion sizings are small enough to have a bit of everything, especially when you cannot decide what you want to eat!
Chapter Too is great little treasure with the traditional melbourne cafe feel in the outer suburbs my partner and I had the Share Breakfast on a serving board it was delicious with a nicely chilled iced coffee, and every meal that left the pass looked amazing a massive thumbs up from me

Such Breakfasts. Not the cheapest place going around, but, I have loved everything I have ever eaten here.
Pricey good food. This is a large roomy cafe with plenty of seating, a good atmosphere, quick service and lots of tasty food options, but very expensive for the food you get. We ordered the felafel platter and the Vegie patty with salad. There were only 3 small-medium size felafels with some hummus, beetroot relish, lettuce leaves, tomato slices and a piece of Lebanese bread for $17! It was a similar price for the Vegie patty with salad on top. The rest of the menu was similar if not more expensive prices for burgers and the like. We also tried the lemon and raspberry tart for dessert. This was lovely. If price is of no concern to you and you want a decent lunch with friends, this is a great place to come. If you want a good feed for a good price, there are plenty of other options around.
I love going to this cafe when I’m in the area, the service is good the food delicious. Located in a nice strip of shops.
Lovely food reasonably priced. Found some of the staff not really in any sort of hurry to take your order. This poses a problem when back in offices with regulated lunch hours. Will give credit to young male waiter who you could see trying his absolute best to please customers.
Lovely bustling breakfast and lashings of it, great attentive staff and coffee the make a trip for, definitely one of the breakfasts in the area.
Coffee here is great, get a good result seemingly no matter who makes it. The dining in atmosphere is a bit on the noisy side but otherwise quite attractive with a lovely fireplace for winter.
Had the most beautiful breakfast here.
Chapter Too is a great cafe in Heathmont with an amazing menu, friendly staff and plenty of seating (indoors and covered outside too).
We ordered the smashed avo, which had the most amazing mushrooms and Persian fetta. The ratio of topping to bread was great - certainly didn't skimp on the avo.
We also ordered a BLT which was also beautifully cooked, filling and came with a lovely side of chips.
Coffee and iced chocolate went down a treat too.
Overall a lovely breakfast at a nice local spot.
We went for a family lunch to this place. The food was really good. Variety of options to choose from. Kids to adults all loved the food. The only thing that was a bit off was when asked to clean the baby chair a used cloth was given to us by the staff.. that was a bit disappointing. 😔😔. Otherwise...good food.
