A small hidden Vietnamese influenced creperie in a cute lane. It's very small but coming after lunch hours there were usually seats.
The owner Lisa was super adorable and funny, always so fun to talk to!
Had the veg lasagna twice and I liked them. They can look bit unstructured but I liked the flavour and the components in it. Could be less watery but nonetheless enjoyable.
Had the yoghurt and blueberry crepe and it was just good, not the best I've had. The crepe itself was bit bland i think and a bit doughy so could be improved.
The pork banh mi though was yummy, portion was really generous, pork was flavorful, and we had the crispy bun as she recommended it and it was perfect.
Overall, a really cute place for some affordable good bites in the city.

The bbq pork banh mi and Vietnamese ice coffee was excellent. But the service was fantastic! The owner was very friendly and approachable which made the experience better.
Day 2 started with breakfast at Aix café, just a street over from Degraves St. I’ve only tried one or two in the area. Most places you can get into without a booking. Aix cafe was selected because the crêpes looked delicious and the food was reasonably priced. The place is really small and they only had one table that could accommodate us.
I can’t say I wasn’t concerned when I turned up and there were no French people in sight. However, the coffee was great!
This little crepe shop is located along centre place where there are a wide range of small eateries.. aix does a mean crepe we had the Nutella and also the Vietnamese bbq Pork which was really very good.. the crepe itself was soft and not too dense.. the nutella crepe had just the right amount of sweetness and the bbq pork had all the flavours of a banh minh.. aix also sell a number of sandwiches at its front counter.. We had a Vietnamese coffee and also a cuppa.. which was a great start to the day..
The owners of the place were super friendly and were very approachable..
Overall a great experience and would definitely come by again..

So many lovely places to eat in Centre Place. This little beauty took me by surprise because on first glance I thought it was just a regular cafe but no - it’s so much more. Seating inside is limited but it does deliver big on food and service.
The choice is in some ways limited but what they do have is amazing. I tried the lemon crepe. Delicioso. A good size, light and fluffy with a serve of fresh lemon on the side. there are also baguettes, omelettes, poached eggs, quiche and freshly squeezed juice.
This Vietnamese run cafe has a lovely owner who is friendly and so sweet. Nothing was too much trouble.
Notes: recommend you come early for lunch as it does get busy, suitable for vegetarians and vegans, not really wheelchair friendly to dine inside, kid friendly, takeaway available.
Will return and try something else and this time snap a pic of my meal.
I visit this place quite often. you can get a decent meal and drink for a decent price. Introduced the place to many friends who came to stay from overseas and every single of them said that the coffee and crepe here was so impressive. My fav is smoked salmon crepe and lasagna is very nice too. coffee is really strong which is good. I usually get coffee or chai latte but from what my friends told me, smoothies are very nice too :)
Great staff. Comforting home style food. Generous servings and very cheap for quality. $12 for 2 eggs, avo and coffee. Really enjoyed this place
This Vietnamese-influenced crepe restaurant tucked away down Centre Place was something of a revelation to me. I love Vietnamese cuisine and was pleasantly surprised at the Vietnamese crepe on offer here. The folded crepe had a filling of BBQ pork, pickled carrot, cucumber, and coriander topped with a drizzle of tangy plum sauce. We also grabbed a classic sugar and lemon crepe which was a lovely light dessert and I was pleased that it was made with real freshly squeezed lemon.
Vietnamese BBQ pork rolls very good. I love that place
The service fantasies. Food is cheap ,Tasty yummy and fresh.
Breakfast so good . Fast service quality number one.
Staff so cute and sweet. I love everything at this place . 10 over 10.
Well done guy. I love you
Super delicious vegan bahn mi with crispy yet juicy tofu! The baguette used is fresh and on another level from the rest of the pack. My friends hoovered up their pork belly bahn mis and we washed down our delicious brunch with some strong Vietnamese coffee.
I personally prefer thinner crepes loaded with syrup but the rest of my group were very impressed (these are served with fresh cream) with the choices of filling. In my mind, I still taste the chocolate and hazelnut crepe.
I cannot wait to go back for more. Pictured here: vegan tofu bahn mi and apple & cinnamon crepe
Super delicious banh mi! The roll was fresh and cruncy and the fillings were amazing. The fresh juices are beautiful. We had an orange juice and a watermelon, apple and mint juice 😋
Vietnamese French, me thinks. I had time today for a quick roll and drink after my Christmas shopping expedition. There was utterly harming service here. Quick and friendly. The food was good. A huge roll stuffed with pork and salad. Good spice in it. The cost was extremely modest. It’s a great little place.

Really nice coffee, crepes and bacon and egg roll.
A wonderful and welcoming atmosphere, the staff were nice and understanding with the most delicious nutella, strawberry and ice cream crepe, the ratio was great and even though the shop was on the smaller side it was tucked away in one of melbournes astounding laneways, a true diamond in the rough.

This little niche French Creperie with a Vietnamese influence, you may think hmm. FYI there are still some old quarters of French in Vietnam. This place is petite, dining in and outside, so you can do the Parisian thing, have your yummy crepes and enjoy the passer bys! Value for money; my crepe base was fairly thick, not toilet paper thin, with 4 slices of ham, 4 slices of Swiss cheese and copious amounts of tomato. The coffee was good too. Well worth a visit. Staff a very welcoming and friendly. Bon Appetite, Au revoir
Whenever I’m working in the city I make it a must to have my lunch and coffee here. The Bahn Mi is easily the best in town and the coffee is second to none. On top of this, the proprietors Lisa and her husband are the loveliest people you will come across. The two and their team of staff are very warm, welcoming and insanely hard working. Coming here feels like visiting a good friend - they will remember everything about you and genuinely be interested - not just remember how you take your coffee. Their food, coffee, prices, service, location are all second to none. In all honesty, I do wish I could have two hour long lunch breaks just so I could sit there, people watch and chat to the owners. Great place.
