Fantastic food. Cheerful friendly attentive staff. Very reasonable prices. What more can you ask for? Ticks all my boxes! Love it! Tip-Top brekkie, brunch and lunch venue!
Best local coffee place near me, the atmosphere is always sweet and the prices are reasonable! Go out of my way to come here because I like it best.
Such lovely staff and yummy food! What a find so glad we stumbled upon this cute little cafe.
Very Friendly staffs and recommended place�
Great find! Friendly staff. Beautiful food. We'll be back!
Delicious food, friendly people. Highly recommended.
Fantastic little cafe, run by the most pleasant group of staff you'll find anywhere.
Love it ...friendly staff and Rahul's very content with the burger there.

Great food. The pulled pork is very nice.
My girlfriend and I absolutely love the takeaway bacon and egg rolls from here and have ordered a few times but the service is always really slow.
On our last visit, it took 25 minutes for two of the rolls and there were only 3 other customers in the store.
Just something to work on but we really do love the food here.
We went to Chi Chi house over the weekend and really enjoyed the food.
We ordered both the salmon poke bowl (new item) and also their cheeseburger spring rolls.
The salmon was perfectly cooked, the dish overall is very tasty which I loved!
The cheeseburger spring rolls were very unique! I have never seen anything like that before, and as soon as I saw that on the menu I knew I had to try. The taste of the cheeseburger was spot on, the spring roll was crispy, and really loved the idea. Absolutely delicious and a must try if you’re here!
Service was amazing too. People were very friendly and quick to help.

Their friendly and prompt service compliments the fantastic menu on offer. Your next favourite brunch spot caters to most tastes, with your favourite as well as some yummy Asian dishes.
⠀
It's an understatement to say that the presentation was on point. The food was as delicious as it was insta-worthy. All three of us enjoyed our meals and as simple as a toasty can be, the addition of tater tots and orange was a huge hit with the kids.
⠀
This is definitely a hidden gem to check out. Bookings are recommended to avoid disappointment. A wonderful family friendly spot! The kid's meals were definitely one of the best we've seen for presentation and taste.
I had the Indonesian pulled beef with roti canai. Each individual component tasted amazing however there was a lack of texture within the whole dish. It was missing the crunch because bread was replaced with a roti which doesn’t offer the same amount of texture as sourdough bread would. The chickpeas were an amazing additional as it added both colour and flavour to the dish.

Chichi House is a cute and cosy cafe conveniently located close to Hughesdale Station. Visiting for breakfast we ordered the edamame falafel bowl and the corn and zucchini fritters along with a chai latte, coffee and smoothie to drink. Everything we ordered came out beautifully presented.
I loved the corn and zucchini fritters. The fritters were nice and crisp and worked beautifully with the flavours of the accompanying salad featuring turmeric cauliflower and pomegranate. The eggs were perfectly poached and along with the beetroot labne provided a nice contrast in texture to the crunchy fritters. This definitely one of my favourite fritter dishes to date.
My friend highly enjoyed the edamame falafel bowl. Although somewhat similar to the fritters each dish had a unique salad. The pumpkin hummus nicely complimented the falafel.
The service at ChiChi House is second to none. We noted quite a few regular returning customers whilst we visited and could see why they keep coming back. The team are very warm and friendly. Visiting just after Valentines Day we were treated to a cute little heart shaped cookies with our drinks.
Overall I had a wonderful experience at Chichi House. It ticks all the right boxes; great food and coffee and lovely warm hospitality. I rate Chichi House ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5. Thanks very much for having me.
A great local spot, not huge inside but very spacious. Staff are fantastic.
Huge fan of the Egg & Bacon Toastie, it was simple but very tasty and cheesy. The mushroom dish was also fantastic, we loved the crunchy fried mushrooms and the sourdough was excellent quality.
Will definitely be returning.

This place was so cute and in a nice road off the main road and right near a train station! The staff were so nice and friendly and willing to help with anything! The fritters were really nice and crunchy and complimented the beetroot labneh so well. the side salad cut through the dish leaving a beautifully clensed pallet and the dressing on the salad was also delish. the price of this dish was amazing for what you got too! The fritters could have used with a little bit more seasoning or salt to enhance the flavour that tiny bit more. The baked egg dish was so unique and fun. the potato gems were a fun quirky addition and tasted really nice too, as well as generously portioned. the corn chips added amazing crunch, and the cucumber and sour cream added beautiful freshness that the dish really needed! the vego chilli con carne was amazing and packed full of flavour! the beans chosen too worked so well in the dish! A tiny bit more sour cream could have been nice as there was quite a lot of the other elements so there wasnt enough sour cream to go with the whole dish. The chips were nice and crunchy which is what you want! The drinks were both amazing and a stand out of the meal!
Friendly staff, great atmosphere and amazing food! Must tries here are the chicken katsu sandwiches and the pork belly and Japanese slaw baos. A relatively cheap brunch option that satisfies both the stomach and the eyes!
I loved the ambience and the quality of food in the cafe'... The dessert varieties are great indeed!
Lovely place to visit on a bright sunny day!
Very very friendly service. One of the best corn and zucchini fritters I’ve had due to flavour and crisp. Chicken burger was delicious too. Very reasonably priced with generous portions. Good coffee. Lovely simple decor with an external courtyard up the back. Unassuming frontage but such a gem of a place. Will be back to try the other dishes.
A small cafe with solid coloured walls and an outdoor courtyard. This cafe has a the friendliest service
Chamellia chai latte with bonsoy - aromatic spiced chai and bonsoy is well steamed.
Corn and zucchini fritter - seasoned cauliflower is very flavorful with the toasted tumeric and sweet hand tossed pomegranate . The fritters are by far one of the best fritters i've had. The crisp batter with the corn and zucchini are well herbed and compliments the vinegar sauce and beeteoot labneh.
Edamame falafel bowl is well arranged with the crisp halved falafel. The pumpkin hummus is sweet and paired with the crunchy chopped salad and lemon dressing. A new addition to the menu. Thankyou for the meal.

Came to chichi to meet with a friend on a weekend. Its located right next to the Hughesdale station..making it so much accessible to people using PT for transportation(as myself). The interior is really cozy and the staffs were super friendly.
We ordered
•KFC Burger
This delicious burger had so many little ingredients inside those buns but at the same time the patty was so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. A perfect fried chicken treat indeed. And the beer battered chips were cooked to perfection..they were crispy until the last one..was an absolute treat.
•Ricotta Pancakes
I wasn’t sure what i was getting into with this pancakes however when they arrived we knew we made a good decision. (We asked for the extra syrup to pour, as we both have massive sweet tooth) the syrup just made the pancakes taste even better. The fruits added to the pancakes just went so well with everything on the plate. This is an absolute recommend if you want to try something sweet.
Overall my experience was just an awesome one. Would recommend chichi to anyone who is looking for a hideout cafe near the Hughesdale suburbs.
The cheese burger spring rolls are SO GOOD! And for the price, you get 2 giant spring rolls, one fried egg, bacon, potato gems and salad! I'll definitely come back and try more dishes! Really really enjoyed my brunch here on a nice day sitting at the backyard!
Chichi House tucked in a quite Willesden Road, just 5 minutes walk from Hughesdale Station (Cranbourne, Pakenham line). This small cafe offers creative Asian fusion brunch dishes. If you are driving, plenty of free parking in front of the cafe so getting there was a bliss. This small cafe is well decorated with plenty of natural light inside.
Yay: cappuccino, Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, Corn & Zucchini Fritters, Beef Rendang Rolls, Ricotta Pancakes

Tucked away on a Hughesdale side street Chi Chi house has become one of our new local faves. The staff are thoughtful are friendly and it’s a cosy, lively little cafe with a cute courtyard. I can’t believe we’ve lived a short drive from this cafe for so long and never realised it was there. The menu is so creative and it’s well worth a visit for something a little different. The filling bao were my favourite - the pork crackling just finished this off perfectly. The cheeseburger spring rolls are another great dish too and something everyone needs to try them once.
Seeking a quick breaky, the missus and I found ourselves at this charming little cafe. Walking in the waitress was very friendly and polite seating us to a table for 2. We started our meal with a beautifully made iced coffee and a refreshing "berrylicious" smoothy. We went on to order the smashed avo toast. Not only was it presented beautifully, but it tasted even better. Toast crunchy, avo fresh and eggs poached to perfection. Before leaving we also bought a delicious slice of banana bread which was given to us toasted warm and buttered. We left with a happy tummy.
Loved chi chi house! Stopped here before heading to chadstone.
Small cosy and friendly place- though quite hidden
The food was absolutely delicious!
Very reasonably priced
Extra 25% odd with entertainment Book too
Just by Hughesdale Station, popular Chi Chi House Cafe is deceiving from the outside – appearing small and quiet. But as soon as you enter you find yourself in a lively and very popular brunch spot. It’s pleasantly noisy, with chatter from customers above the backdrop hum of the coffee machine. You’ll love the thoughtful touches and carefully crafted menu at Hughesdale’s Chi Chi House.
I visited this newly renovated cafe and ordered a few dishes that really blew my mind! Seriously a hidden gem. The baked eggs with tater tots were incredible; crunchy, flavourful, cheesy and simply flavour bombing! The pancakes were fluffy and delicious.
I loved the korean bulgogi baos with pork belly, seriously flavours were on point! The only thing was the baos were a little dry on the edges...but that didn’t stop me from finishing it all haha 😆 you definitely need to visit here if you haven’t been!

😱Lizzie’s first impression: this place is literally right next to Hughesdale station and is honestly such a hidden gem. So those who live close by, please give it a try!
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: we ordered the baked eggs with potato gems and nachos on top - what a DISH!! I was so impressed as it was so creative but also worked to my tastebuds favour.
We also ordered tried the cheeseburger spring rolls which was honestly nothing what I expected - the flavours worked well together and I felt like they put a lot of effort into making that menu. Very impressed.
Last but not least we had the BEST mushroom dish I’ve ever tasted before - the enoki mushrooms were deep fried for starters and they had many different mushrooms in it. It sat on top of a toasted bread with melted butter - the perfect match in my opinion!
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: N/A
🥇Lizzie rates overall: I am so glad I came by to this place as it not only had a great menu, the staff were all so lovely. They had a backyard area which is pet friendly and is the perfect way to spend your weekend!
Got the chance to visit this cafe after their renovation. Love their new extended seatings at the courtyard.
So we ordered:
- Chilli cheese tater tots baked eggs
- Chilli scrambled eggs
- Latte
- Chai latte
- Earthy juice which was made out of beetroot, ginger, orange and carrot
The baked eggs was so good. I love the corn chips and the tater tots aka potato gems on the outside. And the chilli scrambled eggs actually got some kick in it, so if you like the heat, you’ll like this dish. Overall, great cafe right next to the train station so very accessible and lovely services!
This place is a hidden gem. They are so friendly and the food and coffee is delicious. We go on a regular basis and always so pleased. A must if living in south eastern suburbs
I’ve always loved this little cafe for their gorgeous staff and simple delicious food. Love the new renovation but miss the veggie breakfast and baked eggs from the old menu.
Really good food and service. Really enjoyed the forest mushrooms! Definitely worth a try. The atmosphere is quite lovely and the coffee is also good.
Chi Chi house is a Beautiful cozy cafe right near Hughesdale station.
I went today for lunch with a friend and my mum and the amazing staff handmade soy candles and gave them to each mummy ❣️for Mother’s Day what a beautiful touch.
We sat outside in the courtyard with a heater surrounded by a beautiful garden.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. their service was impeccable and prompt.
The dishes looked amazing as well as tasted amazing. The flavors they put together were very creative.
I will definitely be back to try one of everything on the menu 😊

Such a lovely cafe nestled into the bustling suburb of Murrumbeena/Hughesdale.
The exterior was very cute, with black bricks & a lovely saying on the front window ‘good coffee is a pleasure, good friends are a treasure’. The space was cosy, friendly & welcoming. Nothing over the top in terms of decor, but well designed & had a nice pop of colour around the counter. The outdoor sitting area was lovely & tried to create a cosy garden feel in the middle of a busy suburb.
The drinks were delicious! I really enjoyed my flat white with soy milk. The berrylicious smoothie was very tasty.
The food was quite unique, with my favourite dish being the chilli cheese tater tot baked eggs. I’ve never had potato gems with baked eggs but it worked so well here! It was almost an Aussie/Mexican fusion with the con carne & salsa. The potato gems gave it a nice, hearty crunch which I really loved.
The Forrest mushrooms had a lovely flavour, very earthy in a good way.
The quinoa porridge was different, I think the texture wasn’t my favourite but it’s worth a try for something different!
The service was above and beyond. Everyone was so welcoming & more than happy to answer any questions. They really made Jess & I feel welcomed during our visit. A must visit in the area.

Came across this fusion cafe through another instagrammer and I was so enticed to head in myself and see how good the place was. Definitely a gem worth visiting if you're around the area!
Food:
Such amazing, creative fusion dishes!! Each of the dishes we opted for, the BAO, the KFC burger and the Beef Rendang Roll were constructed from flavours and combinations I would've never imagined, and went together as if they were meant to be. The pork belly was the definition of "melt-in-your-mouth", the KFC burger had the ideal crispy/crunch level of Korean BULGOGI fried chicken, with a tang and sweetness from the apple and kimchi slaw, gochujang mayo too! And who doesn't love matcha green buns and thick beer battered chips on the side. The beef rendang roll was also enjoyed thoroughly, with a curry sauce of the ideal strength level, and so many textures in one, crispy potato chips providing a crunch, slightly chewy yet tender slow cooked beef brisket, all contained within a soft roll.
The dishes were such wonderful fusion options and the drinks were of a high standard too; the milkshake was a cookie and cream lover's dream, the sweet colada smoothie was refreshing and light, and the matcha latte was comforting and creamy, just how I like it.
Service:
The dishes all arrived at once, quite promptly, and presented with care and love. The waiters were so polite and friendly, smiling, and very accomodating as we moved locations a few times due to rain and for better lighting.
Ambience:
On a weekday, around 1pm the cafe was not the busiest, this was only due to the timing and the location. The cafe itself isn't very well known either, and it definitely deserves to be!!
Would definitely hope that more locals and cafe lovers and fusion food lovers alike check this place out! The dishes are great for something different, creative and delicious and Instagram worthy too! Combination of asian and western flavours and dishes. Can't wait to come back!
Chichi house is like the secret needle in the haystack. A great cafe located in the low-key area of Hughesdale. If you love asian fusion, then chichi is for you.
KFC burger:
Who doesn’t love korean fried chicken in a matcha bun? Lots of meat, tender and delicious. The bun is also super soft and fluffy. Chips are crispy and delish.
Pork belly baos:
Pork marinade is amazing. Reminded me of kbbq meat but in a soft fluffy bun. A bit hard to eat but so aesthetically pleasing so it doesn’t matter.
Beef rendang roll:
My favourite dish! FULL OF FLAVOUR, the meat is tender and the curry tastes freakin amazing. Not too full on and not too subtle, perfect.
We also ordered a matcha latte, cookies and cream milkshake and a tropical smoothie. ALL WERE AMAZING!

the coffee is awesome, the food has a unique twist with a modern flair to it. We felt welcomed here and left feeling full and happy. We would come back here. Thank you
A neat nice place at Hughesdale location wise very convenient, their food was really amazing, I tried the bubble and squeak with poached eggs and smoked salmon, it was very tasty washed it down with a fresh juice, a must try place
Chi Chi House is located on Willesden Road in Hughesdale right near the station.
A cute little cafe opening out to a courtyard space out the back.
We ordered a fresh juice & a sweet colada, both so refreshing & loved the flavours in the superfood smoothie.
The chilli cheese tater tots baked eggs was a really different take on baked eggs with the addition of corn chips, potato gems & sour cream & salsa on top.
The ricotta hotcakes were light & fluffy & served with plenty of fruit which I like as it provides a nice balance to the sweetness.
The baos were absolutely delicious, filled with finely spiced marinated pork belly with a Japanese slaw & pork crackling. The pork was full of flavour & worked perfectly with the super soft buns.
The staff at Chi Chi House were so friendly & helpful. A really interesting menu with a great range of dishes. Thanks so much for having us.
Such a quaint & lovely place! Not to mention their friendly service & warm welcoming.
We ordered KFC burger & Forest Mushroom with extra poached egg.
Loved the Forest Mushroom! So much texture & flavour: edamame hummus for creaminess, pan-fried thyme-infused mushroom and kale for your green intake. Topped with crunchy enoki & parsley crumbs, this surely is a dish to come back for, and such a great option for vegan/vegetarian.
KFC burger was also very satisfactory. Tender fried chicken with kimchi slaw in matcha bun. Really clever & yummy fusion of East & West.
Great coffee and refreshing fresh juice too.
Overall, great experience from the food and the people.
Will definitely come back and try their other dishes!

Wow! From the service, to the food, to the courtyard atmosphere, everything was on point at Chi Chi!
I ordered the Forest Mushrooms and Coconut Quinoa Porridge, as well as the sweet colada smoothie and a soy flat white.
Coffee: great!
Smoothie: tasty and refreshing!
Porridge: sweet and yum with fresh fruit!
Mushrooms: MY FAVE! Deep fried enoki, sautéed button and other yummy shrooms. Bread and hummus was delish! Plus some kale for the greenery!
Wonderful experience at Chi chi and I can imagine it is a popular place for locals. Worth travelling to for the unique dishes!
Born and Bred in Oakleigh, it’s no surprise I make an extra effort to support cafes in my local area. Hughesdale, which is a suburb next to Oakleigh, has a quaint café along the railway line, on Willesden Road. It’s conveniently located opposite Hughesdale train station, and recently had a refurb. I popped in to see their new look, and enjoy breakfast with an Indo twist.
Their signature dish is the Beef Rendang Roll, with slow cooked beef brisket in authentic curry sauce, served with tangy pickles and crispy potato chips in a roll. It’s where authentic Indonesian cuisine meets the Modern Australia lunch option.
Love this cute cafe tucked away in a quiet side street. We had the baked eggs and make your own breakfast and a chocolate milkshake. The food was executed well and the milkshake was presented in a cute bottle that made me feel like a kid again.

Found this small brunch place near Hughesdale station. Just found out that it’s a brunch cafe. It has backyard that is comfortable to sit on for a long time just to have coffee / tea. We decided to order: Pork Belly Bun, Big breakfast with scrambled egg, and hot chocolate
Lost of words for the Pork Belly Bun! That’s the best bun that I have here in Melbourne, didn’t expect that they will have fusion Asian menu in a brunch place. Soft white bun with coleslaw and a tiny slice of apple with addition of savory taste. Pork Belly is cooked perfectly with sauces that is sweet and savoury. Can’t recommend anymore for this food -- deserve 5 STARS
Big breakfast comes with grilled tomato, hashbrown, sausages, mushrooms, toast, and scrambled egg. Nothing much different with other brunch place. Mushroom tasted really good, though.
Not really a fan of sweet hot chocolate. It’s pretty sweet and served with marshmallow. If you like sweet, this is what you would like to have.
Overall, Will likely to go back and try the other menus that is unlikely to be in other brunch place.
Was skeptical at first because I don’t really do breakfast/brunch places so I let my friend order the chicken waffles - so glad I did. Presentation was great, taste was amazing, and the chicken was tender. The onion rings on top were really nice too. Was a little pricey ($16.50 for that dish) but most brunch/breakfast places are - the food was well worth it!
Great service & excellent food - the chorizo deserves a special mention. Eggs seemed too baked at first but was surprised to see gooey, creamy yolk goodness when forked! Would highly recommend this place.
Hidden gem. Wished I had discovered it earlier. The matcha here is nice and strong. Food had an interesting twist, was really generous and tasty. The lady serving us was really friendly and warm. Would definitely return to try other dishes.
Came here today for lunch . Delicious food , very friendly service . The barista served the milk hot to go with my tea which is definitely a plus . If you pay your visit to this adorable cafe , don't forget to try the cheese burger spring roll ( wow I know right ?) it's so so delicious . The chef definitely know about food ! Everything serves hot and fresh , the onion rings comes with the spring roll is freshly made not frozen . Hobby had the ham hock croquette which is fantastic too ! Love the back yard dining area. Very cozy . We just love this place. It may not very easy to find the place but definitely worth visiting . Coffee was great too 🙌
First time being in here for breakfast. It’s really good, I ordered the egg Benedict with bacon n ham. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the bacon and English muffin is good as well, had so many times that the bacon and the English muffins were so hard, can’t even cut it. The staffs are nice. Definitely will come back.
Located just off the main Hughesdsle shopping strip, this little cafe opens out into a quiet dog-friendly courtyard. Perfect for a little 'mother-daughter' brunch with my pup! ;)
We (yes, pup and I) ordered the Corn Fritters (w/ a poached, avocado and coleslaw) and Chai Latte. The fritters were crispy, crunching and absolutely delicious! And the Chai was creamy and generous :)
Definitely worth a try if in the area!
The avocado suprise for $15 is really worth it. They give a lot of avocado and the egg is cooked perfection, creamy and use free range egg by looking at the yolk colour. The staff is really friendly , especially their barista. She always welcome you with her beautiful smile. I really recommended this place since they cook and serve with love and heart.
It came as quite the surprise to see barely a single table available at Chichi on a weekday at 1pm. Despite all the construction and road works happening due to the Skyrail works, Chichi is going strong.
It seems breakfast is the main focus of this humble little cafe. Lunch options are not plentiful, but there's an eclectic and interesting lot of selections. Experienced on this debut visit was the beef rendang. With a fried egg perched on top of the rice it not only looked superb, it allowed for a terrific eggy/yolky infused rice to compliment what was a well rounded rendang. Just with a small heat kick, and superb rendang aftertaste.
Quaint little place this.
One of the best and lovely place to eat breakfast. The price is pretty relevant. Beautiful coffee and staff are super friendly too. Definitely recommend everyone to eat here!
Excellent food and coffee, with friendly and attentive service. Meals are always handsome and delicious. The savoury waffles are amazing, a must-try! Easily my favourite cafe.
Really like the southern chicken and waffle! Wow! creative (slightly sweet and savoury) and it just works. Great serving size, very friendly staff and coffee is good too. Must check out if you are in the area.
Cool Melbourne is perfect for a quick breakfast. This cosy place. The staff provide a cheerful, attentive and personal service. The coffee was nice; strong and hot. The corn fritters were a bit small though it was a just right for me. They were nice, balance of flavours. Great little place.
Really enjoyed this place, small but lovely environment. Staff was so kind and friendly and the food was quite good for a reasonable price 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 would recommend 100%
This is one of the warmest and friendliest cafes in the vicinity. They are always accommodating of any specifics in your order and go above and beyond to please. I love their outdoor area mostly as it is peaceful and tranquil. A warming experience.
This place is a hidden gem. My 2 year old and I stumbled upon this cafe for brunch and was greeted with such a friendly and welcoming service. (And great food too!) My two year old was unwell at that time and the waitress approached us, brought over some toys and played with him and offered several 'extra' biscuits for him since he was refusing to eat. She was so nice! The latte is spot on and the eggs Atlantic was delish. The salmon was fresh and the eggs was 'just right' and runny. Yum! We will definitely be back again! P.S: They have a nice outdoor seating area where your toddler can run around.
Delightful! The service was spot on, quick and efficient. Clean and modern setting.
The Eggs Benny with ham and bacon were just perfection. Simple, well cooked and delish!
The pancakes were light and fluffy! Hot chocolate and tea also perfect! Nothing to fault! Highly recommend. Thanks ChiChi we will be back soon!
A delicious food experience. A cute little place in the south east, closer to home. Friendly staff and homely food. Coffee is delicious and the food was a delight. Definitely recommend for those who are nearby!
A cute cafe that also had well decorated and clean garden courtyard at the back. The service was friendly and cheerful. We ordered the spicy croquette and pulled beef with hollandaise. Both dishes were decently priced and filling. The menu is cheap and good value for the variety of brunch options traditional Benedict and pancakes are available and also Asian fusion options. Thanks for a nice experience. But maybe update your menu on your website as you have more variety now and people would probably go if they knew of the new options!
Had a lovely time dining here at Chi Chi House - staff were all very friendly and seating during the weekday was no issue at all. Sat in the courtyard, which was perfect with the sun being out! Prices are quite pocket friendly - pancakes were quite fluffy and delicious - the combination is fool proof! Will return in the near future
After reading the amazing reviews and realising that this adorable little cafe is just around the corner. My partner and I made the 30second walking journey and came here. After ordering the Big Breakfast & the Mighty Beef Burger we have fallen in love ~
Quality and well priced cafe food. Delicious and unpretentious. Too bad it is hidden by the construction and road close from the rail station work.
Great family run cafe with a great menu.
Baked eggs were delicious and service was friendly with a smile.
Will be back to try more from the menu!
Tasty food and great service. Will be back for another delicious brunch on the weekend. The big breakfast was tasty and the coffee was also very good. Outdoor area is best on a sunny day
Very friendly staff in a small tucked away cafe. Lovely atmosphere to catch up and enjoy food and coffee. Tried the carbonara, good value and great portions and AMAZING taste! The vanilla chai latte complimented the meal very well without it tasting too milky, you can really taste the chai. Highly recommended!
Great lil cafe near the station or should I say work in progress. Staff lovely and inviting. Menu had some interesting items. Had the pancakes which were quite average as well as the coffee. Maybe should have ordered something else...
This is a hidden gem! Love the Asian touches on the menu! Crispy chicken burger was great. Beef rendang was spectacular, good amount of heat, had to ask for another serving of rice because it was so good! Would have been 5/5 if there was coriander to lift the flavour further. Pasta carbonara was a crowd pleaser. Pork belly bao was awesome, tender pork belly with interesting crunchy bits. Every dish was amazing! Highly recommend this dog friendly cafe!
A hidden gem. Great service, great food and drinks, and the price was below average. We ordered the corn fritters (extra toast) and a big breakfast, and it was simple and delicious. The atmosphere of the cafe was very home-like, accompanied by great service and friendly faces. Definitely will be back. Next time we're to try the pork belly baos.
This beef rendang is the best thing I had in Melbourne. Exactly like Malaysian food, thumbs up for this dish.
Ps. For those who don't eat spicy food, you're missing out on this
Hidden Gem!!!
I don't give 5 out of 5, well ever, but this place deserves it.
Started off with a big friendly welcome from busy staff.
Was attended to straight away.
The menu was different to one listed on Zomato, and there were much more delicious options.
Almond milk Mocca was a home run, and after much consideration I went for the Fritters. Presentation was beautiful and food was cooked perfectly, even the poached egg with no wiggly white but a soft yolk.
So impressed!!!
Look forward to trying the cute courtyard on a warmer day.

What is ChiChi House cafe? Up until this point I had never even heard of this small, amazing cafe. And it is not too far from where I live as well. That's the part that surprised me the most - I did not realise this place existed. Funny how things seem out of sight initially until you take one more hard look. I want to preface by saying I generally like the look of this cafe. It is simple yet appealing to the eye. Simple is good. I got the gourmet chicken burger and a small latte. The burger was very warm and tasted nice. Some parts of the chicken were slightly tough however. It is not really a problem, however it could potentially be one. As for the latte... It was great. Very light which appeals to people like me who do not like strong tasting coffee. There was nothing bad about it really. A few years ago I used to think that cafes only sold pretentious, over-priced food that attracted customers who wore fedoras but hey, I am always learning. I can safely say that ChiChi House has earned the praise it gets for the most part.
ChiChi House, I loooove having breakfast and lunch here~! The food is great and cheap, the place is small but cosy. The staff are very friendly, it feels very warm.

Most people probably don't even know where Hughesdale is. It's a quiet, little suburb near Chadstone and it never popped up on my food radar until last year, but this cafe has got to be one of the best places in the South East. Both food and drinks were delicious! The staff were super lovely! And it's really good value! Their menu contains classic breakfast items, burgers and even some modern Malaysian food. I will definitely be returning to ChiChi House and recommend you do to!
A cosy spot that's great for brunch. Had brunch in the courtyard which was very enjoyable. Friendly and prompt service. Food was delicious too!
I am delighted to have discovered the best suburban cafe! Their baked eggs are perfect and so are their spicy croquettes. I've also had their corn fritters. All worth their house special labels. All of the menus are under $15! Who doesn't like an affordable brunch? They also make great coffees. A courtyard at the back is a bonus for dog owners like me. My puppy and I had a wonderful time :)
Such a cosy and comforting place to go brunch or even a cup of coffee. Really inviting and the staff are just beyond amazing! Each Occassion that I've been is just lovely. I would definitely recommend this cute little cafe.
Cozy cafe, good service, delicious meal, nice coffee, and pet friendly. Extremely recommended. Furthermore, just one stop from Chaddy, easy to park, close to public transport, and 5 minutes from home :). What else...
We had lunch here，and both my partner and i went with the lunch specials (being a beef oie and a chicken and bacon pie respectively). The filling was delicious，and the crust nice and buttery. Service was good and i woild highly recommend thia cosy cafe.
A 4.5 from me for this cafe, my only complaint was how long the amazing meal took to come. It wasn't even a huge wait, just longer than I expected given the small number of customers. The staff were lovely, and I immensely enjoyed the food and coffee. I had spicy croquettes, every element was incredible. My kids shared a custom made meal (to cater for my daughter's allergies), which was just as she wanted it. Lovely, I'll go again.
Best cafe since long, long time. The staff goes the extra mile to serve, the food is meticulously prepared, the coffee keeps getting better every time I come. I recommend pulled pork, gourmet pies with flaky and buttery pastry and corn fritters stack. Nothing are quite like these.....
Saturdays are always very busy, regardless of weather, so bring nibbles to sustain you while waiting for table :P
强烈 强烈推荐这家的Mongo n Banana smoothie！真的可以喝出芒果和香蕉的味道 而只有真的放了相当大比例的香蕉跟芒果 而非香料 才能做出这种味道 货真价实且不贵
Highly recommend the Mongo n banana smoothie, you can taste the real fruit from the first sip, the flavor is balanced, smooth n the price is very reasonable.
Lovely little cafe near the station. I came early in the morning after a quick stop at Chadstone shopping centre which was only a few minutes drive away.
Affordable food that is worth its price, friendly service and great coffee! I loved the environment and what really topped it for me was while I was eating my meal, I saw many people chatting with the owners while waiting for their coffee. When owners make an effort to talk to their customers, it just proves that this place really deserves five stars.
My cousin and I were hungry for some brunch and I wanted to continue trying the local cafes. So seeing the good rating and comments this cafe has received my mind was made up.
Chichi house is an unassuming looking cafe, it doesn't look flash or hipster but if we're honest the look doesn't always correlate with the quality of the food. Thankfully some restaurants buck the trend and focus more on food than decorations.
I had the corn fritters with a side of Apple salad and an extra poached egg. The corn fritters were crispy and flavoursome served with crispy bacon, smashed avocado and thousand island sauce. The sauce complemented the flavors well and I really enjoyed the fritters.
I also ordered a freshly squeezed juice, I couldn't decide on the mix so asked for a bit of everything. It ended up just tasting mostly of Orange but it was still nice and refreshing.
Overall great food, if your in the area do check it out.

Second time back. Avo suprise was great. Just needed a lil more feta. Yet, this didnt seem like feta? Eggs were poached perfectly and the sourdough toast was really tasty. Mushrooms also full of flavour. Tasted some baked eggs and that was pretty good too. SqueezyD
Service was very good. Friendly and fast!
Came here for the second time. I got the baked eggs, my partner the avo smash with poached eggs. Both fantastic. Baked eggs with chorizo, beans, and tomato. Tasty and flavoursome. Couldn't fault either dish.
This is my favourite cafe I have ever ever been to. Price is awesome, service is super friendly and food is really good. Like the mushrooms.. One of a kind. Vegetarian breakfast is beautiful and chai lattes are amazing.. PLEASE open on a Sunday so I can stroll down there again !!
The most delightful people work in this little cafe. It is our local and we absolutely love it! We are making our way through the menu and can confidently recommend everything they have to offer. Really is a great place, generous servings and so tasty!!
Visited this lovely cafe on a weekday afternoon so it was quiet and I received an impressive greeting and service from the staff. I ordered a coffee and sat in the sun. The coffee was delish by the way. I ordered the croquettes with salmon for lunch. It was spicy but YUM! the croquettes were fairly large and I felt there was not enough salad on the plate. But that didn't stop me from enjoying the meal. Definitely will be back with the spouse!

On 6th of August, me & 8 other ladies had friend's baby shower at this cafe. We booked the outdoor. It's a bit small but It is a great place to relax and hangout with friends especially on sunny day. I love how they decorate it become a mini pretty garden.
I ordered baked egg for my lunch, for me it's too watery but overall it was yummy & tasty meal with affordable price ^0^ Will come back to this cafe in future!
A great place for brunch with calming atmosphere, amazing service and gentle to my purse! Located just opposite Hugesdale station so it's convenience for those who dwell in Melbourne's public transport.
Loved it! We regularly order them on doordash and finally went to the restaurant today. Coffee was good and the food was quite delicious.
My wife is Indonesian, this is her new fav spot now. :)
This place is great, and super dog friendly. The food was fantastic and something different from the usual breakfast fare. The servings were great size, the baked eggs were delicious, the cauliflower chips were an interesting menu item, and the palm sugar iced latte was amazing.

Don't let looks deceive you. From the outside Chichi does not stand out. This little cafe is Hidden off the main shopping strip on Poath Road and is just opposite the Hughesdale Station Carpark in Willesden Road. This little gem of a Cafe is worth the visit.
The Corn Fritters are absolutely amazing. 🌽 Topped with a Tumeric Cauliflower salad and served with a couple of perfectly poached eggs. 10/10 for my dish.
My partner has the Nasi Goreng Kampoeng. The presentation was amazing and his verdict was that we will definitely be coming back.
Reasonably priced - portion sizes are very large so perfect for brunch.
Vegetarian and vegan options are nice and I will be trying the Jackfruit enchiladas on our next visit.
Coffee was great and the fresh squeezed juices were both amazing.
Fast and friendly service and even though it was crowded, the noise was minimal.
Easy to access. Just across the road from Hughesdale Station. If driving then there is parking in Willesden Road but this can get quite busy. Luckily it is walking distance for us.
Pros:
-Delicious and varied Asian Fusion Menu.
-Close to Public Transport.
-Amazing Coffee
-Friendly staff
-Fast service
-Reasonable price for large meals
Highly recommended brunch spot in south side of Melbourne
Loving the concept of blending Indonesian touch in some of their menus which works really well and delicious! Must try the Pandan French toast with toasted coconut, pandan custard, coconut sugar toffee and vanilla ice cream. And their fried chicken Indomie is absolutely a banger!

Very cute dog friendly cafe, with a relaxed vibe, amazing food and some of the best coffee I've had in Melbourne. Definitely recommend the salmon and scrambled eggs, very satisfying and filling
Tasty food, brunch food with Asian flavours. A dog friendly cafe with a nice seating area at the back. We had the Pandan french toast and pork belly baos and it was delicious. Would definitely come back and try the other items on the menu.
Cute little cafe, lovely very interesting menu Indo/Asian inspired. Curious to return and try more of the menu.
