First time ordering brunch home delivery and we were so impressed with the freshness and quality. We the felafel bowl with halloumi, super fresh, tasty and delicious mix of flavours. We also got the potato rosti, 3 small but chunky rosti with a tasty salad, salmon and zingy pesto. Add 2 fresh juices and it was almost as good as going out. Great flavour and value, highly recommend.

This is a super cute cafe in Kew and has such a great breakfast menu. It is one of those cafes that is great to visit during the warmer months as they have lovely benches to sit at when dining in. A while back I tried their waffles which were so well made and accompanied with cream and strawberries. They also have some great options to pick from in the window such as yummy wraps, sandwiches and sweets.

Lovely service. Just popped into view coming back from Heide Makers Market. Was full food wise so no munchies. Green juice lovely and spicy from the ginger. Mocha not to my taste bcz of the beans used. It reminds me of Next of Kin. Beans almost with a grapefruit taste. No points down bcz if that just my tastebuds. Would definitely come back.

I love adeney milk bar! It’s a great local where you can enjoy the Kew lifestyle. The food is always delicious and very generous in their serves. The menu has something for everyone with lots of breakfast classics! I’ve eaten my way through and the muesli, smashed avo and scramble are my fave!

Often visit Adeney as it is close to home and have never been disappointed. Went out with Mum and ordered the Wagyu beef burger which was very tasty, with the meat patty being quite juicy and fresh.

Mum ordered the Honeymoon wrap, which consists of a healthy combination of tomato, lettuce and avocado. She really enjoyed it.

Staff were friendly and pleasant. Will return back

Have often passed this cute little café front on the way to the park and have been meaning to call in for some time.. Well last seedy Sunday was the day. It was jam packed with humans and pooches alike so we opted for takeaway to take back to the park. The menu items were simple but I felt there was plenty of variety, something for everyone. The service was friendly and considering how busy they were the wait was not long at all. There is a handy little “wait” bench off to the side service window which was appreciated. My ham, cheese and tomato croissant was beautiful, just the way a croissant should be. My boyfriend really enjoyed his bacon and egg roll with smokey BBQ sauce and rocket, coffee was okay but could have been better. Looking forward to going back for a sit in breakfast. Adeney looks to be a much appreciated pit stop for all with fur babies!

This place is a brilliant little cafe. I’ve gone back again and again for the fritters and hope they put it on the permanent menu - one of the best cafe dishes I’ve ever had. The coffee and fresh juices are also fabulous!

While the menu is a little uninspired, they do the classics justice. I was disappointed when I realised the small lunch menu was all sandwiches except for one salad since I'm not a huge fan. Would be nice to see some more variety in the menu aside from sandwiches and brekkie.

I ordered the basic Milk Bar burger - pricey at $15 with +$3 for egg or +$4 for bacon. Nice but a bit heavy (I didn't eat the top bun or I wouldn't have been able to finish!) and needed something fresher tasting to break up the rich flavours. We also grabbed a Copperfield Toastie (special) to share $16 - that's poached chicken, mayo, pesto, beetroot relish, avocado and spinach between some Noisette multigrain (my one weakness!). Definitely prefer this over the burger as it's lighter tasting but filling and flavourful. We were surprised to see that no fries come with the sandwiches/burgers or on the menu at all - we later realised that its probably a good thing since the servings are pretty big.

Spiced carrot cake ($5 a slice) was dry and too heavy on the spice to the point that it was bitter. Would be improved a bit by being warmed and served with cream.

Service was very hit and miss - one waitress was very helpful, splitting our milkshake into separate glasses and sandwich on separate plates, while we seemed invisible to another when we tried to order. Food took a long time to come out for something that is just assembled in the kitchen or pre-done, we were waiting about 40 minutes on a weekday lunch.

Only going in to uni twice a week now I did the only sensible thing, used up my free time for yet another lunch out. I chose Adeney Milk Bar, as I have enjoyed their cookies and muffins for years but I have only tried out the menu a few times. On a previous occasion a few weeks ago I tried their winter smashed Avo. It was a really good serving size and very reasonably priced. The avocado was seasoned perfectly and it had just the right amount of feta! I then went back with some girlfriends, where I ordered the beef sandwhich. It was soooo yummy and the beef was really nicely flavoured, which went really well with the tomato relish.
Overall, I think this has become a new local favourite with great quality reasonably priced food and coffee! 😄

Brilliant brunch spot! Excellent food, and I've tried most things on the menu. The best zucchini fritters I've ever had!! Still dream about these, have never found fritters as good anywhere else. And the coffee! Honestly I think it's the best in Melbourne. Love it here! Would come more often if I lived closer for sure.

Hidden but definitely not unknown. This quaint little milk bar turned cafe is busy both weekdays and weekends alike and it's hard to manage the noisy crowd whilst dining indoors. Service however is quick and the quality of food is great! Will return but will probably dine outdoors

Good place to go when its not too crowded (and it often is) and you want somewhere a little off the main stretch (which it is). Great coffee - and that is a vital statistic for me. Occasionally has a great breakfast special.

So here I was, thinking lucky me I have a morning off during the week. Seems like everyone else did too & then we all went to Adeney Milk Bar. I've been here a few times on the weekend & it's always busy. Looks like it's consistently like that any day of the week.

Got myself the Vic Park Toastie (ham, cheese, tomato, and avocado). It was thick & filling. Wasn't expecting to not be able to finish it, so I ended up taking half with me. When u go to the counter, if you're not tempted by the Doughboys doughnuts, then you have some serious self-control. Clearly I don't & I grabbed the salted caramel & chocolate ganache doughnut for the road. For $5 it seems pricey, but it was amazing.

Coffee is lovely & the service is even lovelier. It's also located right near a park, so lots of people bring their dogs. Makes for a really pleasant start to your day.

Such a cute little cafe with a great menu full of delicious selections! The coffee blend is one of the best I've had. Staff were very friendly and the service was fast and efficient. It's also very well priced! Highly recommend the smashed avo- I've had a lot of cafe smashed avo in my life and I must say, it was one of the best !

A quaint old Milkbar converted cafe, tucked away off the main streets of Kew right opposite beautiful lush green parks.
•Food: the menu was a good length with many different flavour options. I would've liked to see more vego dishes. The sweets and doughnut display is a must. Of the orders during my visit the smoked salmon bagel was very tasty, the ham and cheese croissant was generous and had multiple slices of thick cut ham, the cocoa ball was flavoursome but nothing to rave about, the coffee was really nice and my matcha turmeric latte was yummy though I would've liked to see/taste more of the turmeric.
•Service: as expected, no special mentions.
•Final note: definitely worth a visit, the location absolutely makes it.

This is a great cafe in the heart of Kew. It serves great coffee and sweets. It also has a great breakfast and lunch menu, though it would be well served if it had a few more vegetarian options. I love the convenience of the take-away coffee window.

Adeney Milkbar is a neighbourhood cafe, with a small space indoors, as well as an outdoor area out the front. We visited for afternoon tea - ordering a chai latte, a hot chocolate, and two donuts. Coffee is sourced from Industry Beans, and the donuts which are from Doughboys, are only available on weekends. The staff were friendly and efficient, although the wait for coffee was a tad long. The donuts were fresh, and I particularly enjoyed the flavour of the Blood Orange one, being not too overly sweet.

Perched on the banquette seating along the wall, I had a wonderful view of the street outside and full view of another separate dining space towards the rear of building. It's quite cosy in the seating department and not long after arriving, a family with very young children sat down at the next table alongside me, which was in such close proximity that I could have helped myself to their breakfast as well. It was no laughing matter when the little girl then proceeded to keep yelling repeatedly in my left ear, "Mummy, what can I have to eat?" for what seemed like an eternity.

They do a very decent coffee and uses Industry Beans, which I really like. Have not really eaten there except their cakes and slices, but looking at their menu the food looks pretty standard and ordinary. I would say that they offer the best coffee around Kew at the moment.

This is a great little find. I stumbled upon it while on tour. You can tell it's got something going on. It's very cute and has nice tables out the front. It's inviting. I had a flat white and bacon&egg roll here and loved both. I went back again for another coffee another day. I also got some Industry Beans from them for my home set-up. They, too, are great. Go here.

Ahhhhhh I'm going to say it was one of the BEST coffeeees I've had. Staff were fantastic! There was no rush to leave so we sat for 2 hours and ordered more coffee.

As you can guess Adeney used to be a milk bar and it's been converted to a cute little local cafe.  It does still have the drinks and ice-cream coolers so it is still a milk bar!  Across the road is a park and there are tables out front which is great when there's good weather and a good spot for human and fur kids.

Adeney is our local brunch and coffee spot. We keep coming back not because it is so close, but because we always have a good experience there. The waiters are incredible kind and thoughtful. The food is fast and delicious. The coffee is amazing. There is a happy and calm atmosphere. There's really nothing to criticise here and I hope it stays the same for a long time.

Adeney Milk Bar recently celebrated their second birthday and is a great local hangout to sip a coffee and read the papers on the weekend. An old milk bar that has been converted to a café, Adeney Milk Bar is located opposite a sports oval down a side street in Kew. The café weaves its way around some white rooms where a bottle of foliage can be found on each table. The menu is simple with a focus on sandwich and breakfast items. As well as some homemade cakes, they now stock Doughboys Doughnuts!

Always a pleasure to visit.. The Adeney Milk Bar is a regular spot for Sunday brunch for my friends and I - we are there nearly every week.The owners and staff are always very friendly, attentive and accommodating, even if they are very busy, quiet, or somewhere in-between. The Adeney serves great locally sourced coffee and delicious meals. I've tried nearly everything on their menu, and have never been disappointed; even simple poached eggs on toast is a winner. A few favourites are the Salmon Bagel, Chicken Chiabatta and whichever omelette is going at the time! The milk bar's decor is quaint and simple, with a few original pieces from it's past hung on the walls. There is adequate seating for couples or groups, and you can sit inside or out, depending on your mood (or the weather!). If you haven't visited The Adeney yet, you are definitely missing out!

Best coffee. I have been going to Adeney Milk Bar Cafe regularly ever since it has opened. They are always so friendly, with such great service and they make probably one of the best coffees I have ever had. The menu is just the right size and I love their winter porridge. This is definitely a cafe you don't want to miss.

This is a great little family owned place. A group of us go to The Adeney every Sunday for brekky or lunch, and have done since it first opened - it's that good! The menu is the perfect size and absolutely everything on it that I've had has been made to perfection. The coffee is great, the service is excellent, and they really appreciate their regulars with occasional free coffees and the like. My favourite cafe in Melbourne - Highly recommended!!

Kew backstreet cafe. The new gauged in kew cafe culture, light, breezy cafes with close tables and light colours.
Busy, mix of private school graduates, teachers and locals, easy parking and excellent coffee.
Menu is not inspiring, and if you try to distinguish your smashes by adding coriander and chillies then for gods sake, add enough to be able to taste it.
The eggs are extra for the smashes, and we have been twice, and the first time, orders were mixed up, second time, they were spot on.
The guys try hard and deserve success, well worth a visit and if you r a local, and there r heaps of locals and office workers, this
Lace will rock!
Speaking of rocking, fix up your music, but prices are ok, not good for value but not bad either, just the serve sizes are a bit mingy

The soy latté was good in a quality take away cup. The gentleman who served me was friendly , beamed several smiles and thanked me after I left. I'm not sure why people are complaining about service when it's clearly called the Adeney Milkbar not the Adeney Fine Dining Restaurant. It's a cafe in the middle of a jungle of residential blocks for god's sake. Though instead of the organic soy milk with my latte, I would prefer vita soy calci plus.

Little Gem. This is a great new cafe and in a place where there was always destined to be one.

The coffee is rich and satisfying. The fitout is modest and perfectly set in its corner shop location.

The food descriptions on the menu could be given a boost but part of the charm of this place is its modest, homely presentation.

Keep up the nice work!

Coffee hits the mark also. Prices are reasonable. Service is friendly and always chatty. I have a feeling this little gem of a cafe will be a hit and have a need to expand very soon.

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.
