Hands down the best value for money cafe I have been to in Melbourne. When I say value for money I don't mean huge American cafe style portions, I mean really consistently good quality food for 10-12 dollars. Staff are friendly and efficient. It's always busy but the turnover is quite quick and they staff the place really well. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!
Came to Melbourne for the weekend with my granddaughter and happened upon this place. Great service, well priced food that tasted amazing ( best pancakes ever!!) and some really helpful advice about our safety concerns whilst in the 'big smoke' . Great breakfast which made the rest of our day memorable too, thanks so much , we'll tell all our friends where to come next time they're in town too.

Visited here for a quick coffee and loved their coffee roast! Amazing coffee to kickstart the day! Their ham and cheese toastie is also very nice!
A really good place, located on a great corner location; hence the name. Corner and Bench gets really busy, so I try to avoid coming at peak times. They do a great trade in takeaway coffee and food, with lots of great options such as sandwiches, salads, cakes and pastries. If you are lucky to get a table it's a great place to enjoy a cuppa.
It's a nice and light place, with lots of windows; and the staff are lovely even when it's busy. We enjoyed some hand made scones which were lovely and fresh, and the coffee was also really good. It's a pleasant cafe to visit when in this part of the city.
I come here all the time and it is one of my favorite places for lunch. The food is tasty and reasonably priced, ingredients used are fresh and the staff are always really friendly. I particularly enjoy the $6 breakfast special on Fridays (scones with cream and jam)!
Corner & Bench is the perfect cafe for busy people and takeaway lunches! They have a wide variety of dishes (all really yum) along with a salad bar - their salads are really hearty and filling, and by far one of the best value salads around ($11 for 3 salads of your choice). Highly recommended!
I come here with my girlfriend any morning we need a pick-me-up before work (more often than not!) and the service and food is always incredible.
The food is all made fresh, the coffee is some of the best in Melbourne, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming.
I also think it’s one of the cheapest breakfast deals around at $5 for a coffee & a snack. I’ve loved tasting all their different treats. I especially recommend the white chocolate and berry muffin, warmed up just enough to get gooey in the middle 🥰

There’s a lunch crowd on weekday - and it’s not surprising! The grilled chicken roti I had ($10) was delicious and filling for a petite sized woman hha. They used chicken thigh which can be quite fatty, but of course more tender. Coffee is also not bad. Great for a pick me up on a weekday! Happy to try salads next
Nice little cafe on Bourke street with a nice variety of food to choose from.
Friendly and helpful staff. Ordered a Lasagna take away.
Absolutely delicious, little bit on the spicy side but loved it! Definitely coming back!
During work lunch times, this place is chock a block with lines out the door. The salads are very popular, and their al la carte menu has variety. The worker crowd line up in an orderly fashion, know what they want, and stand to the side and wait patiently.
Service is friendly, there's lots of staff running around, but it's organised and effective. It's all hands on deck at lunch time.
I got their special of the day which was pulled pork with a roasted cauliflower, kale and sweet potato salad. It was delicious, and well worth the wait. For $12, it was delicious, filling and worth its value.
I look forward to trying new things.
Food was delish and staff were super friendly and accommodating 🙂 Would defs recommend if you need a peaceful breakie/lunch at really good prices!
A thoroughly enjoyable cup of coffee. The latte was extremely smooth and dreamily rolled off the tongue. There was a marvellous selection of sandwiches and other bakes that look delicious.
