Reviews Ora Specialty Coffee

Ora's coffee is one of the best in Kew area. I am not a big fan of sweets & cakes in general, but most of their sweets & cakes have great balance of texture and tastes. The lunch specials are great - "Spiced Tiffin Egg" is one of my favorites. The eggs are deep fired with a special crispy coat and the egg yolk is still nice and runny. The sauce on the side is unique and has great unique taste. Their special drink called Root beer is a must try as well. Unique taste of ginger beer mixed with Ram, it's awesome!! The waiter and waitress are extremely friendly and have a lovely yet dorky sense of humour. Highly recommended.

Food is amazing. There is always surprise in their specials. Really well designed dished with lots of new ingredients I've never tried before. I've told many my friends and highly recommend them to try.

You can always rely on a great coffee at Ora. Takeaway or have in it's always perfect. Staff are friendly & treat everyone like a regular. A must experience if you haven't already #coffeelover #luvalatte

Visited here in August, whilst on trip to see brother and his family, from the UK. A great, small and intimate coffee place - the ice cold drip coffee was fabulous! Not back in Oz until June 2017, but will be making another visit (or more!) to you then.

I went here Sunday for the first time and have already got plans to go back. The menu was amazing and what I finally did end up deciding to order did not disappoint! The staff were helpful and friendly and even though it was packed and a cue of people we didn't feel like we were being rushed out. The baked goods are amazing and as we saw them coming fresh from the kitchen we had to make room for some. Overall outstanding doesn't describe this well enough!

Ora has really yummy food with lovely seating both inside and out. I got the Romesco Eggs with prosciutto. The meal was delicious - it was sort of like a weird version of an eggs Benedict so it was a nice change up to the usual. However, my one criticism is that the meal was a bit light on for the price - my friend and I were both a little hungry after.

Ora cafe, I have heard much about you, all good things and to my pleasant surprise, you lived up to your reputation and you were fantastic! Busy, as always but still very attentive and helpful. Your staff were great, ensuring we had everything we needed and checked in on us a food amount of times. My girlfriend and I had the noodle dish with broth and it was amazing - egg cooked to perfection! Would I come back? 100%

We ordered the spiced egg and pumpkin fritters. I think they just recently renewed their menu, so few of the older dishes are no longer served.
The eggs were nicely spiced with an Indian twist. It was definitely the highlight of the meal.
As for the pumpkin fritters, we were pretty disappointed. The fritters tasted a bit too doughy and dry. My mum didn't enjoy it much at all. Due to this, I rated this place a bit lower.
Overall, the atmosphere of the cafe was nice. It was full of people even on a very rainy and cold day.

Amazing cafe, a hidden gem - food is flavoursome, created with heart, soul and passion. Coffee is perfection. First visit was less than 2 weeks ago, and I’ve been back 3 times so far! Must try: lamb roll, beef burger, and shrooms 3 ways.

Upcoming regular... :)

P.S came this morning for the lamb roll, but was delightedly surprised that it still had 4 hours to go! I’ll be back soon to get it again ;)

This is now one of my regular and favourite brunch places. The menu is very interesting, beautifully presented and something I haven’t come across before. On my last visit I took my Mum and sister who were visiting Melbourne, and they absolutely loved it also.
During my last visit, I ordered the ‘Shrooms’ (photo attached) which is a must have for mushroom lovers like me. Oh, and coffee is great to!

I haven’t had a chance to eat at Ora’s (yet) so this review is solely on the heavenly tasty Soy Chai Lattes I have had numerous times and also on their friendly and attentive customer service.

Really nice cafe. Great simple breakfasts and great for vegetarians but if you eat meat the black pudding is delicious and they make very good eggs and sides. If you would like a nice breakfast then I recommend it. Service is good but you can't take leftovers which is a bit annoying. All up it's a cool little cafe that works well.

Everything about Ora Cafe points to a bright future ahead in Melbourne's bustling cafe scene. 

From quirky food items and drinks menu this is not your usual hipster cafe. To my surprise even though it was different it was still a nice enough combination that most people would enjoy. The variety entails individuals such as myself to try some different combinations which are often not thought about as common lunch/breakfast items.

The portion sizes and prices are extremely reasonable as well and you will definitely leave satisfied. 

Recommended for locals that's for sure!

Ordered "the warm bowl" with beautiful simple presentation and delicious! But be mindful it's sweet for person like me, who do not normally have sweets.
"clay pot eggs" my little girl's favorite! Savory dish, good potion and yummmm!
"duck & pistachio sausage" good combination of all the ingredients! Some even from asian cooking ingredient!

Ora Specialty Coffee is a hidden gem within suburban Kew that strives to provide an exceptional café experience for all customers. Since taking over from the previous owners, current owner Phil has cemented Ora’s reputation as being a place that provides great coffee and food full of flavour, in a small venue with a local feel. Speaking with Phil, it is clear how much he loves what he does, and loves what he can provide for his customers. Something that he strongly believes in, and that he instills in his staff, is that hospitality comes first. From the friendly welcome you receive when walking through the door, to the attentive and genuine service when sitting down, a lot of cafes would do well to follow in Ora’s footsteps.

Well what an unexpectedly nice find in Kew! Dropped by with my partner and were quickly seated at the communal table. Service was basic and pleasant (no frills), but nothing was lacking. The food was original and tasty - worth a repeat visit, which in Melbourne's competitive brunch scene is definitely saying something. Had poached eggs with side of broad beans and bacon, the claypot eggs, and polenta + parmesan chips. Ora mini is great for little ones the want brunch too! Looking forward to trying more next time.

What a delicious, unique menu. However those with a more traditional palate need not fear, as the menu still contains Melbourne's standard brunch offerings. I, opted for the fricasse and mushroom duxelle, goat's curd artichoke mayo and artichoke chips. Oh my goodness what a delightful dish, beautifully balanced and filling. Thoroughly recommend!!!

Ora cafe has successfully managed to create a very memorable experience from mastering this traditionally simple breakfast. The scrambled eggs were buttery, creamy and was cooked to perfection. We also recently tried their autumn/winter menu and it was absolutely delicious! Every single dish deserved praise, so make plans to head there multiple times to try the entire menu because it's that good! If you've never been, start off with their scrambled eggs, you'll never go wrong with that. ;)

Perfect location, near the Freeway exit, easy parking, still quaint, simple, casual looks, great team running the floor.

This is a nice cafe in Kew the coffee's good, the service exceptional. I found the menu to be a little too simplified lacking some of the Melbourne classics one has become accustomed to. In fairness I was famished when I went here so perhaps that clouded my judgement. I will return as a result of the lovely staff.

I went to Kew to pick up a few groceries, I looked across the road to find a quaint cafe and thought I'd treat myself to a midweek breakie out. I was thrilled with the "non meat" choices on the menu. I ordered the Tiffin eggs and wow it was amazing!! Everything on the plate was flavour and texture. YUM! Coffee was great. I can't wait to come back to try the other things on the menu

Visited here on Saturday for brunch and were lucky enough to get a table. Boy oh boy am I glad we were...it was one of the most delicious breakfast I have had! I surprisingly ordered the mushroom dish, even though I would never ever choose mushrooms as they're not my favourite food in the world. But this dish was so hearty and full of flavour (and not an overpowering mushroom flavour weirdly) I was so wrapt that I listened to the waitresses advice. Coffee was great, and the staff were lovely. Cannot wait to return!

First time here, picked it as we were around the area and it was one of the cafes with the best reviews (4.5). The menu changes every season so unfortunately some of the nice dishes we saw on zomato weren't available. The toast for my Dad's soup was a bit burnt for his liking and so was the bun for my burger. Overall the coffee redeemed itself for the rating as it was pretty good. Barista was super nice and even let us have a taster of the filtered coffee for free. Staff are definitely one of the friendliest around.

This humble cafe is quite small and intimate but the wall of windows and strategic lighting broaden the space. The simple wooden furnishings and minimalist style underline a straightforward attitude, offering what we all came here for – good food and good coffee. It was a particularly busy Saturday morning when we visited so we were wedged among a row of people on the front bench overlooking the street in front of us. The staff were very apologetic about this situation but it was short lived and I happily unfolded my elbows across the table as our close neighbours left! The staff were very friendly and attentive and our orders arrived promptly.

I came here the other day and can definitely say that it was one of my favourite cafe meals. I ordered the tiffin eggs (of course) and they did not disappoint. The flavours are strongly middle eastern throughout the dish and the serving portion is huge. However, my friend ordered the French toast and was pretty underwhelmed by both the flavours and portion size (minus 0.5). There is also a delicious array of sweets at the counter which we couldn't just pass by. Coffee is wonderful and the service is honestly outstanding. Smiles all round and genuine enjoyment to be working there.

Ora seems to be a well known cafe in the area and always has customers regardless of the time or day. It's quite small, so it can be a bit tough getting a seat on the weekend. The staff are engaging & relaxed and you can see why people enjoy spending their time here. The coffee is great too.

Today I decided to try the rum and raisin clafoutis. I had no idea what a clafoutis was, but I assumed it was going to be sweet as it was topped with stewed fruits & a vanilla mascarpone. Ended up being a flan/cake that's cooked in the dish.

As a whole it was a lot to get through - it's a pretty rich dish. I'm going to need to lay down afterwards! I also was easily swayed into trying their earl grey iced tea, which was delicious.

I've heard talk about their prawn toast before, but it was either not on the menu or I completely missed it (I was hoping to try it). I've been here a couple of times - tried the French toast & the tiffin eggs. The tiffin eggs are different to the standard breakfast. There's a strong herby flavor that's interesting & addictive. It's got lots of interesting textures & flavors too. It's a very unique spin on an egg-based dish - would recommended giving it a try.

I am a Kew local and Ora take away coffee regular. They do superb coffee. Always spot on.
I had a spare moment to myself this morning so I decided to sit in and order a dish. It has been a while since I have dined in.
I ordered the French toast brioche with passion fruit curd, halva and drizzle. Passion fruit curd was impeccable. However there was something missing in this dish...I still can't my finger on what it is. Although very pretty it was a tad mediocre.
I usually walk away from Ora blown away by what I have eaten. However, today- I was a little disappointed I had forked out $18 for the dish.

I guess you don't win them all!
Never the less, I will be back....

Went for Saturday lunch. Cosy yet cool space. Staff were welcoming and seemed to know most clientele so must be popular with locals. Coffees hit the mark. We ate the tiffin eggs which was a spicy and nutty take on the scotch egg with perfect kipfler potatoes and a charred toast that took me straight to Mumbai. The trout was refreshing and well balanced. We finished off diving into a warm and gooey dish of clafoutis with a nice dollop of ice cream. Left feeling full and happy. Will be coming back and I'm sure they'll remember my name.

Today was sunny with cool breeze in the morning, got here at 10am, the cafe was already bustling. Friendly and efficient staff. Food was pleasant - I ordered the tiffin egg with Kepler potato. Ice coffee was nice served with ice cream and a few coffee beans on top to enhance flavour. Overall a good experience, will be back to try more different dishes.
On the side note: a couple sitting next to me didn't get to try their salad yesterday and was back today to try it, maybe their salad is also one of their signature? Shall check out again next week before they change their summer menu. ;)

This hidden little gem tucked away in the back streets of Kew not far from the Eastern Freeway, operates on the same site as the very popular Japanese restaurant Ocha used to be many years ago. It's situated in a tucked away little village with the usual standard fare of a newsagent, pharmacy, laundromat and small supermarket that look well loved by the Kew locals.
Ora is a fabulous café to have as your local coffee shop, with a bustling hive of activity happening when I was there to meet a friend for a late breakfast. This is a small café and there's a choice of a communal table & a few other scattered tables and a couple of benches out on the path out the front for you to sit. It's nice and cosy without being cramped.

The menu is small & concise with a range of egg dishes like 'Spiced Tiffin Egg' which had a Kasundi as a garnish and a 'Ora Mini' which included scrambled egg, bacon and sausage and a gorgeous fruit dish, 'Summer Melon' which was a sea of beautiful pinks and red melons surrounded with a granola chia crumble. The coffee was great, including the decaf and they were able to make me my favourite Almond Milk Decaf Latté, so full ticks for having Almond Milk.
We didn't have room this time for their delicious looking cakes that were in a glass cabinet in the counter, but I was reliable informed that they are all made in-house by their chef. There was a chocolate cup cake that was definitely calling me back for next time!
My friend and I were very busy chatting, but our coffee's and meals came out very quickly and the service was very efficient.
I would definitely return to Ora as the small lunch menu looked really interesting. Another good thing was that the parking was easy!

Cost: $40 for 2 people
Coffee: excellent.
Service: excellent
Convenience: perfect if your a local.

Coffee is on point. One bad thing and only disappointment was when I ordered my eggs on toast they were over cooked ( like hard, and took over 30 mins, but it was busy and they are a small cafe), but none the less tasty. When I am driving through to the Chandler Hwy through kew I will pop in each time for a Coffee without doubt and highly recommend this place.

We come here every Sunday with our dog Harry (who is always welcome) and sometimes in between!
I think it's a little difficult to find places at this level in the burbs and feel lucky enough to live walking distance from this place.
It's always buzzing, has great beats, but most importantly the food, service and coffee are consistently fantastic!!!
A fabulous place and amazing team that simply must be commended on what they do here.
This little gem is on point with their menus offering up beautifully plated, seriously tasty and impressive food!
So much more than a cafe!
I love this place and look forward to the food and friendly smiles every Sunday.

Coffee is great! Food is ok, well presented just felt like something was missing? I ordered the pork roll, I think if coriander was added as the fresh herb rather than the dill it would've been better and also some chilli sauce. Also had the French toast, found it was more soggy raisin bread, the whipped peanut butter however was beautiful.

Barista is fantastic! Friendly and know coffee has recommended blends which I think shows he knows coffee well, tried duck roll which was beautiful pork was a bit dry , apple and cinnamon donuts got fingers down from family. Apart from the Barista other staff a bit  to rigid.

Will defiantly make this the regular while in Kew.

Brilliant. Menu was a touch hard to break down but I thought that was a positive, makes a talking point with the staff and you leave with a little more food knowledge! Meals are on the smaller side here, perhaps offer some sides? Overall great food, service & experience.

This is a small cafe tucked at a corner away from Kew Junction. As a tourist with no car, it was 20 mins walk down suburban road but it was totally worth it.

Service was very good and friendly with water provided instantly and coffee order taken.

I ordered the prawn toast as I have read the reviews and man I was blown away!! The toast was thick and crunchy, and the flavours were so fresh and light, which complemented the prawn and buttery toast really well. Highly recommend. I definitely wished I could have tried the spiced tiffin egg. Next time!!

My coffee was not dry enough for a cappuccino, hence the slight markdown in rating.

But overall, great find in Kew :)

Ora Cafe is one of my all time favourites. It is on the smaller side but it is very homely and inviting. Arriving around 2pm on a Sunday, the cafe was relatively quiet with a few other customers eating their way through the food. There was no background music so it’s perfect for those long DNMs. The staff were friendly but it did take a while for them to come and take our orders. Nevertheless, the menu had a small tantalising selection of meals!

Came in here for breakfast this morning. We were seated quickly, even though the cafe was busy.

The menu looked  interesting and I decided to order the Prawn Toast. The food arrived not long after and I was very impressed with what was served. Together all the flavours worked very well. I don't think I've ever had prawns for breakfast, but with the avocado and the egg, it was delicious.

I tried a few of my friends meals, all of them were good but the highlight was the Spiced Tiffin Egg. Very tasty.

Coffee here was also very good.

Only let down is how small the place is, it felt very cramped with the four of us on a very small table.

This place is fantastic! Coffee is superb and food is excellent. Had the bacon and eggs/sausage....best I've had in a while. Service is pretty good as well. The place is a bit cramped so nice and cosy.

...The toast was a bit too thick for my liking, while the vegetables reminded me of those you find in bánh mì (Vietnamese pork rolls). Overall: Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, small unique menu.

Really liked Ora! The service is reasonable enough (not the most friendly but not the worst), but most importantly, the food is delicious! My only issue with the Pulled Lamb Salad was that it was perhaps a little bit too cold, as the yogurt that it was mixed through had been just taken out of the fridge. But, I will definitely be back to try the Tiffin Egg!

Amazing breakfast the rice pudding is a must try, purely for how it's platted up. Great coffee. Will come back next time we are in the area.

I like the location and the outdoor area at the front. It was charming little cafe at the intersections of the streets. I was surprised with how small the menu is. I cant remember which brekky roll I picked but it was beautifully made. The relish was soo yum and everything else is just great. Mocha was a tad bitter but other than that staff was so friendly and let us sat there for a long time. Definitely a great place to sit and chat.

Small, clean, quaint interior, front outside seating also. Coffee, Almond Latte, double ristretto was good strength. Normal shot, would be weak for people who like a stronger coffee hit. Poached eggs on GF bread was nice. Bircher Muesli was good.

Great little spot in Kew. A no fuss cafe that has really good scrambled eggs on sourdough. The side of mushrooms was also super tasty. The espresso was well made and full of flavour. What would be good is to see a few more options for breakfast. Either way, we'll be back.

Ora Kew - Cafe & Smokehouse has very nice outdoor and indoor seating areas and it even had a small kids' play area at the back. The staff were fabulous and friendly. The coffee and the food were amazing. I would definitely be back.

As a Kew local, I’ll definitely be back! Warm hospitality, prompt service and big points with me when it’s dog friendly!! It was a 22 degree day so we enjoyed the outdoor area. I had a delicious chai latte and the French toast which is from their new menu! My friend had the shroom panzanella which I’ll come back for the next time! Plenty of parking along the streets and this cafe is slightly tucked away from the main busy street which is great! Some calm to enjoy your meal and linger to chat. Loved this little gem of a cafe!

Great coffee and yummy food. A great stop south of the river and easy access from freeway! Breakfast eggs beautifully cooked make a great light breakfast. The polenta chips were golden, tasty and crisp. Very pleasant outdoor street side area or a cosy indoor cafe style area. Staff are friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking in surrounding streets.
