Friendly service. Didn’t quite hit the mark completely but willing to give it another go...strong chai latte was the highlight!
Wagyu beef burger was alright, a bit too wet - perhaps a nice tomato relish would go better than the current sauce. Crunchy chips and tangy tomato sauce worked well accompanying the dish.
Gratefully nothing that the barista/head lady made another chai for the young boy who accidentally dropped his takeaway. Nice act of kindness :)
This is one of the best cafes on Malvern road. Great atmosphere: friendly, cosy and reasonably priced - none of the pretentiousness that some nearby places exhibit.
To be honest there's nothing I can fault about this cafe. I love the not so busy, community vibe, it's quiet ambience perfect for a calm brunch meal with friends and family. The staff are friendly, the coffee flavourful, the food, glorious. Will definitely come back again.
This place surprisingly did a really good big breakfast.... their honey chorizo is actually a gift from god best thing I have had for breakfast in a little while.
Will probably be back here soon.
Lovely staff and lovely coffee and food! Always smiling and do their best to accomodate always! Small courtyard out the back and a very conscientious owner who is the barista! Always a great experience here!
At Thread I was greeted w a lovely warm smile from all the staff and I ordered a strong skinny latte.
The coffee was a good temperature i.e meaning I could drink it straight away lol
W single window seats this is my kind of cafe... and the kind of cafe that yo can relax and enjoy a coffee, read the paper and chillax.
This place is definitely worth a visit if your in the area. Enjoy
Stopped here for coffee on a weekday.
Service was great - always a plus for me when the attendant flashes a big smile and welcomes you in store! Coffee was lovely, well brewed and it definitely hit the spot. We sat outdoors with our coffees, just to have a chat and we were not chased away or hassled :)
Nice atmosphere here, good breakfast/brunch menu at realistic prices. The Summer indulgence dish of egg, smoked salmon, asparagus and crushed potato kept me going for hours

This is a great local cafe. Good coffee and they have some pretty great dishes - their mexican and Egyptian eggs are particularly good!
Very friendly staff, had pan fried fish, quality of ingredients were good and price were not bad at all.
Crisp of sweet potatoes were great and light to eat as well.
Only thing to add more freshly made vegetable options will attract more people who wants light meal.
Overall good option to have artistic lunch in nearby area.
Great service, food and coffee, very accommodating of our young children. My chicken and corn soup was especially tasty and hearty in the cold weather. Would return if in the area again.

Really nice coffee. Safe brunch venue
TASTE - Pretty safe, nothing mind blowing but nothing bad either
SERVICE - Friendly
VALUE - Standard
WOULD I GO BACK - Yeah, if I'm in the area, not special enough for a trip
It's always tough to pick the best cafe options in any suburban strip, especially when there's so many. The Malvern Rd/Tooringa Rd strip has a fair few options - but when it comes to breakfast, I like Thread. Franco's jewels (the Spanish eggs) are my pick. Really good flavours, cooked perfectly - just right for a cold morning to get you going. Haven't been back for a few weeks to see what the new owners have done, always an interesting time for a cafe.
Good coffee.
Food ok. I had the porridge. The serve was too big to finish. Quite liked the communal table ! It's a good medium size cafe !
Called in did not realise it was nearly 3pm happy to serve us meal and coffee, meals were great, bangers and mash and ricotta pancakes, great coffee. Will go again. Refreshing to get such excellent service.
Not a bad coffee place. There's quite a few coffee places along Malvern Road and Thread is probably one of the better ones.
Food was above average and coffee was great.
They have kids drawing books and toys and books to occupy my little one so that i can enjoy my lunch which is a big bonus.
PLEASANT PLACE. We came here today for a brunch with friends after being denied a place at Mr. Foxx (where we will never go again). The only tabes that had were in the back courtyard. Being a mild and sunny morning this suited well. The courtyard is sheltered from the winds. All 4 of us had nice, if not brilliant, brunch. Nice coffee, friendly and sufficient service and not arrogant as are Mr. Foxx. The prices were reasonable. I had a mushroom risotto with bacon. Evelyn had the smashed avocado on toast and our friends both had scrambled eggs with mushrooms. We all enjoyed our meals and were thankful that Mr. Foxx is not interested in pleasing customers. We WILL return here.
An old favourite that disappointed me recently. The food at Thread is delicious. Having been at least half a dozen times for their happy eggs I was disappointed the last couple of times I went - and we drove quite a way to get there. The serve of bacon was tiny. It's been becoming smaller each time I've ordered this dish over the last year - are they cost cutting? I have been thinking about ordering an extra side of bacon but shouldn't I receive a decent amount of bacon with my order if it is already included? And the very last time I went the poached eggs were underdone - the whites were runny. Hoping Thread can redeem themselves.
Brilliant! Stumbled upon this place when I was famished. Fastest food arrival ever, not exy, generous portions, delicious!! Ohh, find!
Great Brekkie and lunch. Come here frequently.
The mexican crunchy eggs are amazing. Never get tired of them.
Would highly recommend.
Nice atmosphere, lovely food, reasonable prices and friendly service. Only dislike- I personally prefer to be served on a plate rather than a wooden board which I don't feel are as hygienic...
Fantastic place for breakfast, brunch lunch or coffee and cake! Great menu items include the Egyptian happy eggs (although they are a bit rich so more of a brunch/lunch thing rather than early in the morning) and the smoked salmon eggs benedict. Also you can't go past without trying the freshly squeezed orange juice- simply devine! If its summertime/warm enough definitely sit out the back in the courtyard. Can't praise enough.
Mexican Crunchy Eggs were sublime. A friend had these on my last visit and described it as the best breakfast he had ever had. Big statement to make so I had to return and try for my self and I was overwhelmed! They are magnificent. The eggs were beautiful and runny and the chorizo cooked to perfection. The texture, the flavours and the ambiance of the venue all combined to a superb breakfast experience.
Food delicious .. We had the Egyptian eggs and the Mexican egg dish ... Fresh tasty n beautifully presented .. Coffee ok but cld b better .. Service a bit lacking but not bad Enuf to stop us going back .. Overall very happy n recom this place
A great local!. Great coffee, delicious food and service with a smile!
Today was my third time at Thread Cafe> have had one breakfast and two lunches and all have been really good. The coffee, I have to say is probably the best I've had anywhere!
Staff are very friendly which leaves a good impression. I like trying new places but when you find a place that ticks all boxes it's hard to move on.
Really nice coffee. I love this little gem out in the Malvern/Armadale area. Guys serving are really nice. Breakfast is pretty good - I'd change the sourdough bread as not great which is a shame as the rest is fab. Great atmosphere with a lot of families, people stopping by after their gym sessions etc. Coffee is consistently delicious (unless you love strong coffee, then you must ask for a double shot). Best coffee out that way believe me... I know as I've tried them all and am one of those annoying coffee fanatics!
The coffee's always good and the staff are happy campers
Great Mexican eggs, good coffee, nice courtyard at the rear.
Absolutely amazing cafe; BEST EVER coffee and the raspberry/white choc muffins are a must. These guys do a super mean breakfast-- highly recommend Egyptian Happy Eggs for something a bit different but the classic eggs & bacon will definitely not disappoint. Service is A+++ too.
Amazing coffee.. every time.. breakfast is great also.. a touch pricey, but better food and coffee than some other cafe's in the area.
Great coffee & pretty good value food. Wait staff are young & perhaps a little inexperienced but friendly enough.
Great coffee and especially love the breakfasts here...enjoy being able to spread out and read the paper on the benches or common table too, even when it's busy
I have been coming to thread almost everyday for the past few months and i am absolutelty in love with everything about this incredible little cafe! I was first drawn in by my friends non stop talk of "the best coffee around". Obviously this is a big call and i was hesitant at first, but let me tell you, the coffee is literally TO DIE FOR!!!
But it's not just the amazing coffee that keeps me coming back, it's the whole vibe. This place has a very relaxed feel to it and the staff are always super attentive and friendly. I am always greeted by warm smiles and quick service. You MUST try the Mexican crunchy eggs... The best breakfast I've probably ever had. Just.... SO Yum!
Really everything about this place is perfect! I don't know what else to say except please try it out and see for yourself!! Great cafes are hard to find these days, But thread is really a little gem! I'LL BE BACK!!!
STUNNING FOOD & COFFEE. My 1st visit to Thread cafe was a huge success. I ordered the mexican eggs with a side of bacon and my wife ordered franco's jewels (a spanish eggs type dish). It was the best breakfast we have had in Melbourne. My son ordered a fruit salad followed by a breakfast burrito and a freshly squeezed orange juice and they were a big hit too. Excellent coffees with a swan on them! rounded out a terrific meal. The service was attentive and friendly. We will definately be back.
WOW - a must visit cafe!. I never write reviews but this cafe has inspired me. Thread cafe definately serves the best coffee in Melbourne and the best coffee I have ever had. I sat in the sunny courtyard and followed my Panama short mac with a glass of white and the "3 P's risotto" - with peas, pancetta and pecorino and garlic bread. The aroma was sensational and the taste even better. Add to this the fantastic service and atmosphere and you have a winner cafe... I am now a regular and intend to try the cold drip coffee when the weather finally heats up.
Outstanding. I popped in for coffee on my way to work on thursday. I had my usual cappuccino, and have to say it was undoubtedly the nicest coffee I have had the pleasure of tasting since I moved to Melbourne. Feeling so enthusiastic about the place, I wanted to go back to try the food in the weekend with my boyfriend. I had the Eyptian eggs, and was equally thrilled with the food, really tasty good food that would brighten anybody's day. Lovely, friendly staff, and I for certain will sure to be back again ( on a very regular basis!)
Was on my way to work, ugh, decided to pop in for a coffee. BEST coffee I've ever had and the waiter who serviced me was so sweet :) can't wait to come back and try one of the raspberry white chocolate muffin, looks so yummy. Great way to start the morning.
Yay for thread! Love this place, can't get enough. Best coffee every time :) great way to start a busy day.
Nice Cafe in a cafe strewn precinct.r. This Cafe has a lot going for it. The Coffee and food were very good. I eat plain and my poached eggs and bacon was as good as any. The other items on the menu looked good and the value was Ok. I will go again..
Visited this cafe on Mothers day. We were a group of 12. The service was very good considering it was a very busy morning. We were promptly seated and orders for coffee were taken The coffee was served quickly and was excellent. The Egyptian Eggs were wonderful. All our group loved the meal and we will definitely return here. The vanilla slice in the display cabinet looked fantastic. A great little local.
COFFEE ADDICT IN LOVE!. Wow - the avo/fet smash is incredible and the silky smooth coffee to die for!!
what a find - I happened upon it by chance on my way to a friend's house and then I realized of course this was the new Malvern hang out my friends had all been raving about with THE BEST COFFEE IN MELBOURNE!!
and food so imaginative and yummy (pomegranate molasses - YUM).
I am now a regular and couldn't stop myself reviewing this when I never review at all -
THREAD WELL DONE - YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
Good local. Im glad i tried this place out. bustling on a sunday morning but no line :)
had the breakfast bruschetta - it was divine. partner had the big brekky, plenty of avocado and beetroot relish which i added to my bruschetta, yummo.
i know the staff were busy but a jug of water on the table isnt too much to ask? pet peeve.
is a bit on the pricey end.. not much for less than $15 in the brekky menu.
enjoyed and will recommend. nice use of space.
LOVE. From breakfast muesli to beetroot salad (and hangover coffee and muffins) I can't find one thing wrong with this cafe. Even my kitten loves their milk. Love love love love love
I came here for brunch with a friend of mine this morning. We sat in the court yard and had a really great time. She had the burcher museli and I had the roman holiday penne. All ingredients from the fruit to the vegetables were fresh and delicious. The staff were really pleasant and attentive - ill definitely be back. Thanks for a great brunch Thread.
Nice place, delicious breakfast meals and pastries, and great coffee too! We go there every sunday morning.

Egyptian Happy Eggs. When I first read this on the menu I thought it sounded way too adventurous as far as flavours for breakfast... beetroot relish? really??.... but I ordered it all the same, just telling myself "I just wont eat the relish!" Once the meal was put in front of me not only did the size of it impress me for a breakfast, but the smell coming from the plate was intoxicating!! Because I had been so pleasantly suprised by the look of this festive looking plate I decided to try a little bit of everything on my fork at once (quite a task as there is so much on the plate variety wise) and BANG, it was like party had started in my mouth!!! The blend of the smokey bacon with the sweetness of the relish mixing with the almost bitter taste of the feta and the freshness of the avacado, all just made the basic poached egg on wholemeal toast into something that is almost what I call ORGASMIC!! I find myself travelling the 40mins there every weekend now just so I can have my 'When Harry met Sally' moment in this retro little Cafe!!!!!
Consistently great coffee and food. Menu is interesting (in a good way). Staff are always attentive and quick. Owner is always there making sure the place runs quickly and smoothly.
It's definitely not close to being the 'best' coffee in Melbourne but it is still pretty good. Batista doesn't smile but heck, I'm here for takeaway coffee at 7.30 in the morning and I'm not up for smiling either.
I know this is a big call but I would say Thread has the best coffee in Melbourne. It really is that good! Also really nice staff relaxed and friendly. There is a courtyard which is great. I am addicted to their avocado & fetta smash for breakfast! Children friendly but equally good to go by yourself and read the papers!
Kay Method. Just dropped past Sunday morning for a take away coffee. It was superb! We are so blessed in this city to have so many awesome venues (and more importantly, dedicated staff) that really care about the product they put out there. Am only sorry I couldn't stop for brekky. Will return soon :)
Absolutely Brilliant. There's really not much I can say about Thread other than Wow!
I've been back at least 5 different times and the coffee has been consistently divine (which I must say is rare these days), the food is superb and the staff are always friendly and attentive.
What else can you ask for? Thread is a must try, you wont be disappointed!
Consistently very good coffee and excellent cheerfull service. It has a good supply of the morning papers. Breakfast food is good.
I went on Saturday morning. The place was full but still felt warm and cosy. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. The coffee was outstanding Try the single origin of the day. The barista advised me to try a Costa Rican short mac which was rich and sweet. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection My partner had the thread burger which was the best she has ever had. My partner also ordered a cappuccino which arrived with a beautiful puppy dog on top. Every coffee I saw there had amazing latte art! But it also tasted superb. I met the owners; husband and wife and had great chat. This is a great place owned and lovingly run by two barristers turned baristas
Fantastic find. Thread has awesome coffee, great food and such a welcoming atmosphere.
both the blend and the single origin were professionally and superbly made - no wonder people are talking about ithis place.
the menu is imaginative and full of flavour, fresh ingredients and creativity. from the avo/feta smash and warm cajun chicken salad to the free range green's eggs poached to perfection .
Love it! Comfy casual atmosphere, ambiant, great food. I had the chop chop salad. Yummy, healthy as, very substantial. I think the service was great! Prices, reasonable. I'll b back!
Best eggs Benedict ever :)
Best soy chai latte and friendly service! Delicious generous serving of food and has a nice courtyard area out the back. Been here many times and love it! Thank you, Winnie and Joe!

Our local cafe that has excellent coffee, a fine selection of food and welcoming and lovely owners. Couldnt recommend more strongly!
They were very nice and friendly. Quick service and a very attentive staff. Loved our lunches and the cosy atmosphere inside the cafe. Great coffee.
Beautiful little cafe with a delicious range of meals! Hope you like eggs for breakfast though, because they're in just about everything!
The burger is so good! 😎
Love coming here to see Winnie and Joe every morning for my coffee fix, all the staff are super friendly and the food is always perfect!
Had a great breakfast here tis morning. Friendly staff.
I can't speak highly enough of this cafe. My local everyday coffee fix. Winnie and Joe work so hard to make the perfect coffee and are very customer focused. Lovely to chat to, lovely environment, I can't wait till we can get back to normal to enjoy a relaxing weekend brunch again. Please support this lovely family owned business
