Have been to this cafe a couple of times and have enjoyed their breakfast dishes! I especially like their sweet options which are not only delicious but very reasonably priced! I have had the French Toast with berries and the pancakes with banana and walnuts which I both enjoyed. I don’t particularly love their coffee but it’s still nice and I generally order the chai which is pretty good.
They have a great All Day Breakfast menu at this cafe, servings are generous and well priced and there are so many choices! staff have always been friendly too.
I had a well earned brekkie here after a visit to the hospital on Friday. I ordered the mushroom mania and a big coffee (can you believe it was 11am and I still had not had my morning coffee, I was desperate).
I was happy with my breakfast, I loved that they had more than enough mushrooms on the plate and they had been fried beautifully. Seeing how desperate I was for coffee, I should've asked for an extra shot of coffee as it was a bit on the weak side, but I know if you ask the staff are more than willing to meet your request.
Overall, very happy with my brekkie and this Mama is Hangry no more. Thanks guys!
Cafe Scintilla at Heidelberg. They call it the best coffee in Melbourne. Really nice coffee and rich flavour chai latte. Definitely a thumbs up recommend. Very nice.
We had the Monday-Friday special - bacon, eggs, toast and a coffee for $10. It was a huge serve and well cooked. I had mine scrambled and they were yummy. The food took a while coming out, but the place was packed so that was probably why. Good coffee too. I noticed they had several versions of smash avo, but decided not to go with my 'regular' choice for a change!
Attended here for the first time yesterday, we sat outside in the reasonably spacious area they have there. Menus are available just inside the door and ordering is done at the counter. I had the Parisan Eggs which is done with salmon, cream cheese, hollandaise sauce, capers on a toasted panini which was very nice. Wait staff were pleasant and friendly. I would definitely go back.
Really enjoyed breakfast here. Food was amazing with premium ingredients. Heaps to choose from with a lot of Variants which is nice, normally priced. I had the Noosa breakfast, highly recommend.
Agree with the previous review tho, quite sterile atmosphere could be nicer.
Self serve water and order at counter etc but service is nice and staff are friendly.

Went here with the lady for brunch today and neither of us would complain about returning.
You find your own table, you order from the cashier and pay before you get your food and drinks, you get water for yourselves from a self-service counter. The layout of the dining area is relatively sterile, although very open with plenty of natural light and is comfortable without trying to be.
The lady at the counter was friendly and chatty, but otherwise the service was pretty dry and impersonal.
We ordered a mocha, chocolate milkshake, 'Anzac' breakfast and chicken risotto between us; the drinks came out quickly as we watched our food being freshly prepared from our seats. Both drinks were excellent; I'm not much of an expert on coffee, but had no problems inhaling the mocha. The food servings were generous, tasty and good value for money (It was a touch under $45 in total); nothing was particularly complicated about either dish, just simple food prepared well with fresh ingredients and we both didn't need to eat again for a fair while afterwards.
While the venue was busy, with a number of chatty conversations going on at once, it was not overly loud and reasonably relaxed.... we lingered for a little longer than we really needed to as the mood didn't take us to be in a hurry and we didn't feel pressured to move on.
There are 'flashier' cafes on Burgundy Street, but if you like a down-to-earth, no frills dining experience, this place won't let you down.
If I need to guarantee myself a good take away coffee I go here!
Standard cafe fair with specials, and healthy servings off the menu.
I recommend the coffee to all my friends as the best in HB probably Melbourne. Although disappointingly, like a lot of cafes we still can't pay pass for a coffee.
Great coffee with its own signature flavours. Lime tart satisfies our insatiable sweet tooth. Quick service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend for family with kids.
Had lunch there today. The service and food was exceptional. I will definitely be returning and recommending to my friends. Thank you
Not bad here today. Food was good. Service was good. We’d come again on this experience.
From the outside, it looks a bland developer's aluminium idea, a glassy box attached to a supermarket. As you approach though, much comes to light. Lots of regulars. Seating options inside and out. Low cost meals. Fine coffee. Friendly greeting staff. Happy people. Sensible serving sizes. Some cirner cutting, like self serve water but overall it competes well on the strip. Recommended. Try the breakfast special.
Absolutely Fantastic Cafe with a wide variety of snacks or meals at a great price. Friendly efficient staff & a big shout out to the Chef SteFonzi. Indoor and outdoor Heated seating, highly recommended 👌
Great coffee! Inside in air-conditioned comfort, or outside on the terrace. Exciting b'fast & lunch menu. Many steps upstairs to the bathrooms!
Love Scintilla! Food is always consistently good, has a good atmosphere, and staff do their best to please. Best coffee too.
