Nice coffee and great chilli scrambled eggs
Great space, great coffee, great service! My only let down about this place was the lack of creativity with the menu. DO NOT GET ME WRONG! The food i ordered (scrambled eggs, sausages, mushrooms, halloumi and smoked salmon) was delicious :) But I'm not the type to go simple when it comes to brekkie, i want something that knocks your sox off, so yes 100% a great place with great food, just not as exciting as I like it.
Visited here during the week for a quick lunch. I loved the coffee (Allpress). I had a long black which was exactly to my taste on this day; lots of flavours and all of them delicious (coconut, caramel, chocolate, oh, and, overwhelmingly - coffee!! - sweet!), none of the harsh acidity which I've learned to anticipate in so many cafes! I could relax and enjoy every last mouthful! I had a toasted wrap and appreciated that I was able to order a half-serve, more than enough for my small appetite and fresh and good. I will certainly go back!
Loved the waffles the best i have ever gotten. Great staff, very friendly and have great food. Lovely little cafe looks fresh and cute, will be coming back again
Best bao in Melbourne!! and very friendly service - alas bao is being taken off the menu which is a real shame. The coffee is very nice as well
Had a nice lunch here. The interior is nice and simple but nothing too imaginative. The food I had was good but my drink was quite plain. One staff member (suspected owner) was very nice and friendly, surly old blond woman however needs to try to smile to improve the atmosphere for their patrons.
Beautiful staff
Beautiful food
Beautiful coffee! I cannot find a single flaw. Every experience is a great one at Willo and I am tres excited to see them grow!!
Fantastic local find! We have driven past this place and it's always been busy and today we found out why. Using produce from local providers this cafe has put their own twist to some of your classic brunch favourites. The benedict with apple and sriracha hollandaise was to die for and the chilli scrambled eggs with roti benefited from the thoughtful addition of Thai herbs. Even if you are just looking for a coffee it is well worth the visit. We will be back!
Stumbled apon this place as we needed a coffee hit, and for once we didnt look up the zomato rating before trying this cafe. We were pleasantly surprised! We were greeted by friendly staff, and after seeing the menu we were quickly persuaded to order as well. The Barruta salad was amazing, so fresh and flavorsome, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. Coffee was great, service was very quick, prices really good. Definitely recommend this even over many of its nearby cafe counterparts, which may have better ratings but often disappoint..
I don't know how the score for this place isn't higher. I can only assume that savvy locals are downplaying it so it doesn't get even more busy than it already is! Their coffee is brilliant. Their food is beyond delicious and their service is warm and friendly. So great to have somewhere like this just up the road. Highly recommend.
Excellent coffee. My extra hot skinny latte was exactly how I like it. Breakfast portions were rather substantial. Scrambled eggs were well done.
Stopped by for a quick lunch! Coffee good and the BLT was tasty. Friendly staff and not to busy. Have been before and would come back again. Very much suited to the locals I think
Excellent service great coffee and a fantastic menu have had several different all excellent .perfect lunch or breakfast size meals staff are really great always enjoy going there
Willo is excellent. Great coffee and food options. A small place facing the sun most of the day. Around the corner from another great Kew cafe, Ora.
Lovely, light dining room and we were seated immediately on arrival. Relatively small but diverse menu with good vegetarian options. Delicious Allpress coffee and friendly attentive staff.
Easy to park nearby and a number of tables out the front for those with dogs.
The only bad thing about willo was the fact I came on a day the doughnuts weren't available.
Struggling to pick something to eat I decided on the buttermilk pancakes, good choice on my behalf. Coming with vanilla marscapone, berries, maple syrup and julienned Apple, and 3 fluffy pancakes, it was quite a substantial meal for the price and so delicious.
I was also lucky enough to grab a bite or so of the halloumi burger which was delicious, salty enough and the avo and slaw to cut through.
Had a really delicious meal, friendly service, and about $60 for 3 people.
(Doughboy Doughnuts available Tuesday's and weekends FYI)
Brilliant newcomer located in the back streets of Kew. Such friendly and inviting (but not overly familiar) staff and such delicious menu options. All members of our large party were well accommodated..from the toddler critics to the older carnivores and herbivores!!!
Gorgeous little quaint café not in the hustle and bustle of Kew.
Had an amazing lunch. Smashed pumpkin with goats fetta, poached egg, wild mushroom & caramelised onion. It was a perfect dish. Serving size & flavours all hit the mark. My partner ordered the halloumi burger and that too was outstanding.
Coffee is All Press beans which is one of my favs and my latte was also perfect.
But what makes this café stand out from the endless cafes popping up everywhere, is the managers/owners. These ladies know how to operate a business! They are friendly, efficient and make you feel like at home.
Can't wait to come back!
I felt like something sweet so I decided to have the ‘Buttermilk pancakes topped with vanilla mascarpone, maple syrup and seasonal fruits ($14.00)’. The combination of the syrup, vanilla mascarpone, and the ripe fruit was scrumptious! The pancakes were also fabulous and I loved how the dish had just the right amount of richness that left you wanting more.
What a gem! Awesome spot in Kew, easy to stop in, hard to leave :) good coffee, good menu, neat fitout and lovely personalised service. Now I've found it it'll be hard to drive past the Chandler Hwy exit 👌
Very happy that Willo has opened. The Willsmere Village was crying out for another cafe with decent coffee!
Good coffee & food, friendly environment and helpful staff.
This Cafe opened up about a month ago and is always busy any time I drive past, so thought I'd check it out today.
Willo has a cool set-up with nice furniture and lots of natural light. The staff were lovely and the food looked delicious (and reasonably priced) but I only had eyes for the DOUGHBOYS DOUNUTS!
They are also in a great location with plenty of parking available.
Will 100% be returning to test their coffee/hot chocolate and good looking menu in the near future! Can't wait!
Great new spot in Kew, serving perfect smooth roast coffee and the food is right up there with fancy CBD cafes. My favourites are the smashed avocado with Meredith's Goats Cheese (Yum) and poached eggs with ham hock and apple cider hollandaise. If only it was a little closer to my home, I would spend every day here.

Every time I've driven by this vacant building, I thought it would be a perfect place for a cafe, so I'm glad to see that Willo decided to open there. It's not a huge cafe but it has great seating and big open windows to let the natural sunlight in.
For a Wednesday brunch, it was almost full, with quite a handful coming in and out for take away coffees. Initially when I walked in, all the staff said hello, smiled and kept moving, but no one stopped to see why I was standing there. Tad bit awkward, so I just interrupted a staff member and asked if I could sit at one of their spare seats.
I ordered the breakfast roll and also thought I'd try the salted choc brownie to go with my coffee.
Everything about the breakfast burger was awesome. It has the right mix of inclusions. It's juicy and messy - definitely not my most lady-like display of eating, but it was so delicious I didn't care. The salted caramel brownie was also a nice addition to my meal. Not too salty or sickly sweet with caramel either.
Coffee is good too.
There's nothing overly fancy about this place, but that's what is charming about it. I hope they can keep it up and I'm sure to be back to try more on their menu.
Willo Cafe! How exciting it is to have a new kid on the block. I went to the opening last Wednesday and it was chaos, waited a little longer than usual for food but it's expected in the first week of opening as they are finding there feet, but must I say the wait was worth it. I had the smashed avocado with ham hock along side a delicious double shot latte from the All Press espresso collection, it was well worth the wait.
I am now a regular and the staff down at Willo have it on point. The food is amazing the coffee is delicious and the staff are delightful.
I can't wait for my next meal.
I urge anyone in the area to go check it out, it will not disappoint.
Thank goodness for Willo. I've been watching the decline of Ora for the last year or so with a small sadness in my heart as what I regarded as one of melbournes best cafes has become increasingly to cool for school and there coffee has gotten worse and worse.
Then along came Willo, low on fan fair serving a nice double espresso in a clean and POSITIVE enviroment. The food has a certain feel of melbourne 3 years ago with a good smashed avo, fritters (grilled not deep fried), good bacon and a cabnet full of salads and toasted sangas.
This isn't fine dinning or sparkling water with your black coffee, this is fun food and good coffee done well with a happy and positive enviroment. Love it. Will certainly be back when I need those good time feels and a coffee with out attitude.
Came in to try out the much anticipated Willo Cafe on their first weekend open. It was absolutely buzzing with customers, and had a beautiful ambience inside coupled with an authentic fit out. The service, coffee and food were great, give these guys a chance and you won't be disappointed.
Tried out this newly opened cafe a few days ago. Fit out is looking awesome and staff are really friendly! My chai latte was beautiful, however smashed avo wasn't anything to write home about. Avocado almost seemed as though it has been puréed, they need to keep it fresher in order to compete in the cut throat Melbourne smashed avocado business. But I think once they straighten a few things out this will be a beautiful little brunch spot.
A tucked away brunch place opposite the kew ovals and cemetay, they have a great cold drip coffee if you ever want that but we went for brunch. I suggest you sit in a more open part of the cafe if you don't want to be forgotten about, but otherwise food is pretty good and well priced and came out all at once!

Great coffee and savoury goodies! We love coming here almost every morning to get a coffee before work. Friendly staff and always smiling.
The only thing I would recommend is expanding the vegan menu. In terms of mains there isn't much. A salad (need to remove eggs) and oats/muesli. If they would add another vegan option (hot main) that would be amazing and definitely eat here more!
Place looked busy so had high hopes but it was a little underwhelmed unfortunately. Wasnt much cohesion between the flavours and they came out lukewarm. Quantity is good though as well as the price point. Maybe what I ordered just wasn't my thing so worth checking out overall.
DO: The corn fritters.
DON’T: Want to sit in, the takeaway menu is great too.
PROTIP: Park across road for the little ones to run off brunch after.
Came in for a hot chocolate and some lunch… wonderful food and extremely friendly service! A very lovely environment to be in. I would highly recommend coming here!!
