The food in this place is out of this world. Take the 5* and double them.
Great spot, with great service from the time you step over the door to the time you leave.
Thank you guys.
Very reasonable prices. Delicious breaky and coffee. Our waitress was bubbly, friendly and very efficient. Definitely will visit again.
Brilliant coffee and food. Reasonably priced. Great staff and service unbelievably fast.
Sam and Theo are all over it. Great healthy food, good staff, yum coffee
Great place. Healthy delicious meals and they also offer gluten free/dairy free options. Staff is very friendly too.
After 10 year working in the CBD I can't think of a better lunch spot.
Always busy. Always excellent. Passionate people. Perfect...
Great food, great service, greeted with a smile every day! Will definitely be visiting again!
Excellent meals and service, will definitely go back when I visit Melbourne again
Everything, food, service and excellent all round place !!
Personalised service! Amazing coffee and delicious food. 10/10 every time
The 10 that I use to rate all other cafes.
Fantastic service, nothing was too much trouble. Enjoyed our delicious breaky.
đ±Lizzieâs first impression: Always fresh during lunch, busy but homey.
đ©Lizzie enjoyed: I usually come here for comfort food â you can order a main base which is usually a lasagne or a pasta or meat. Then you can order some sides with it as you wish. Such a simple idea yet well done.
đ
Lizzie did not enjoy: The food is not all that healthy but you can opt for the salad options,
đ„Lizzie rates overall: A great place for lunch especially if youâre feeling like a whole feast of a meal. Quite affordable too.
The reason why I gave 5 stars to this cafe I've only been once is that their service was efficient, professional staff and sandwich makers who actually wear gloves and used it the right way (seen too many who wore glasses but still used fingers to handle meat and then used gloves to handle money).
The waiter was enthusiastic and actually wanted to be there. I was waiting for my food for about five min when he noticed and asked what I ordered and followed it up for me.
The focaccia I got was called kinetic focaccia or something and it tasted really nice esp with the tender chicken pieces and pineapple in it.
Absolutely fantastic experience.
One would think eggs Atlantic was pretty standard- honestly hands down this is the best one Iâve tasted. The hollandaise is out of this world!
Delicious cup of coffee to match.
Great vibe. Lovely, friendly owner Sam.
Iâd go into the city just to get this again!
Consistent coffee, great breakfast menu and friendly staff every morning! The coffees come out really quickly, and the wait time is always kept to a minimum for busy office workers.
Found this place while walking back to office from a meeting. The coffee was good however the ambience is alright. A 3.5 would be more fair rating but zomato doesn't have that option so an extra .5 for kinetic. However if you are looking just for coffee you won't be disappointed.
I really like Cafe Kinetic! Consistently good coffee, unpretentious atmosphere and fast coffee turnaround. $4.00 for a medium latte, which is reasonable for the area (maybe even "cheap" when compared to the surrounding cafes).
Favorite spot for a coffee and a quick brekky in the morning. Â Staff are very friendly and fast - doesn't take long for your coffee to come out. Â Solid.
Impressive cafe. I don't know why I've never heard of it before. It has a fairly basic layout but what the fit out lacks in style the food and service has in spades.
It was a cold day and I fancied a warm meal. Basically I had chicken and vegetables. I forget the name of the chicken but it came with a reddish sauce and was very nice and moist. There was a wonderful selection of vegetables on offer too. I loaded up a fairly sizable plate of food and was very impressed with the price. All of the food was extremely tasty indeed. I finished with a coffee which was lovely too.
This is a very impressive business model. The place hums and I'm not surprised. They're serving very good tasty food here at reasonable prices. No wonder it's popular.
I'm intent on returning for breakfast very soon.
Friendly staff, solid range of foods (focaccias, salads, wraps, hot foods as well of course) somewhat small and occasionally hard to find seating if going at peak time. Honestly like a better version  of Bull Run (from down the street).
Great spot for lunch, breakfast of coffee. Fast service, friendly staff, and the selction of rolls/wraps etc is spot on. I'm a bit of a regular, so must mean I rate it.
One of the first Cafes to open their door early in the morning on Melbourne's CBD, and this is what got me in. Barista was spritely and made a great coffee. Would go again without hesitation.
Tried their signature pepper beef pie, it is really good, full of beef inside the pastry, and some potatoes and carrots. Curry beef and butter chicken also available. Victor Cheng

It seems I always struggle to find a decent place for lunch in the city that is quick, reasonably priced and of good quality. It's either a bad corner sandwich bar, a food court in a shopping centre or you steel someone's lunch from the fridge in the employees lounge at the office. So this week I made it my mission to find an establishment that could tick the three boxes, quick-price-quality.
I started my quest in the most unlikely spot in Melbourne, Flinders Lane. Now don't get me wrong I love Flinders Lane, and it houses some of my favourite restaurants in Melbourne, but they, to my mind, don't meet the brief. So I was surprised when I stumbled across Cafe Kinetic. This little gem ticked all the boxes and more. As with majority of venues in flinders lane, the cafe is narrow and long. It's divided into three major sections, pre made rolls and sandwiches, design your own sandwich and a hot and cold buffet serving soups, hot dishes and salads. I opted for a simple made to order sandwich of freshly cooked chicken and salad on white bread. I know that this is such a simple dish but believe me, so many places can't even make a humble sandwich, but I'm pleased to say Cafe Kinetic have bailed it. Fresh bread, together with fresh ingredients, made for a sensational sandwich.
So if your looking for a great uncomplicated lunch in the CBD, then head to Cafe Kinetic on Flinders Lane.
Coffee is amazing. Friendly service! :) :)
Even though it's in Finders Lane it's actually quite a big cafe. Makes a great casual place to meet up for lunch. Also a pretty good cafe to grab a quick breakfast roll before work.
My go-to spot for lunch at the Paris End of Collins Street. Lunch buffet is the best deal around by far: always great European cuisine and very fresh salads. They do a mean breakfast sandwich too: focaccia with bacon and fried egg. Wouldn't change a thing here.
Great food great dervice. We were a bit stuck finding a nice looking breakfast spot in melbourne cbd , believe it or not, so we looked up urban spoon and found kinetic. Great breakfast, reasonable price and loads of choice, and best of all a really attentive waitress. Brilliant...
Great place for a casual lunch. I have never had a dish here I didn't love and the veggie and salad bar is great. Coffee has always been good too. Highly recommend.
Awesome breakfast and coffee!
We were taken aback - we loved the service here and the food was brilliant and great value! We felt so welcome and loved the fresh quality of the chicken tenders and herbs and ingredients on the open breads (we forgot the name) but they were lovely. Fusion Greek/Cypriot/Egyptian/Latin ingredients and lots of spice but very much your coffee and work lunch meals but done superb. 10/10 best service - but beat the rush!! It gets busy after 12:30
Good coffee and a great selection of fresh sandwiches, rolls and rotis.
Gonna miss these guys. My regular morning coffee and often lunch spot. Alas my work is shifting buildings. I am going to miss these guys - they yell out my coffee order is ready before I've even asked or paid for it. They see me coming in my bleary eyed early morning state and know what my regular order is. The staff are so friendly and the main guy is on top of his game as a host..I assume he is the owner..or one of them... The food is the best in this strip as far as quality produce, value for money, variety of options. We've been spoilt by Kinetik...and now we're off to Docklands. :( Whoever moves into my office building when I'm gone - Kinetik is the hot tip.
Fresh and wide selection. Do yourself a favour and try one of their Zaatars if they are not sold out already!
Switched On and Fabulous. Can I just say that I have never had a bad experience at CK - The staff are always super friendly and the food not only tastes amazing, but is healthy and looks fabulous. I have also had office catering from Kinetic and I can safely say that they provide a very professional service that is also amazing value for money (and I have used many catering services) They are genuinely happy to have your business and it makes it such a pleasure to visit. If you are down that end of town you must get a big sambo!
One of the best goumert rolls ever!. Had the gourmet roll, toasted with roast beef, mushrooms, greens, cheese, caramelised onions. it was devine and comfortable in saying one of the best rolls I have ever had! quality ingredients, decent serving, coffee is consistently amazing too. this place is always packed at lunch and for good reason. I will be trying the hot food bar for sure!staff are lovely and friendly too.

Great Lunch place. Ate lunch here at least 1-2 times a week for a year whilst working 4 doors up. They are a Sort of gormet Buffet style lunch place, Daily specials would include Roast beef, Roast Pork, A selection of 8-10 Vegie dishes, 5-6 salads, Lasagne, Corned beed, Yemista, Shepherds pie, Honey carrots. Probably the best Lunch place I have come accross in a long time - lots of variety, at the front they have Manouche (Lebhanese Zaatar wraps with Various fillings, all are great). :-)
All this and healthy too. Fantastic healthy muffins - a meal in themselves, not just little cakes, and they even display a list of ingredients! The filled pide are delicious too.
Me likes. Good coffee, friendly staff and lots of variety. Price is reasonable. The Lamb Zatar I highly recommend!
I took the family here for breakfast. Friendly service, great big breakfast was delicious and fresh flavours. Didnât wait long for the food very quick service. Clean and spacious premises. Thank you for the pleasant experience.
Really quick service, huge and tasty serving of brunch on a weekday.

There r 3 sections in addition to the coffee bar, ready made sandwiches, bespoke sandwiches n our favourite cooked food section....u pick ur main which normally HV a dozen choices including roasts, pasta, meats n fishes n all the vegetables (6+ to choose) n salads (
Itâs always a great time to go to kinetic for our morning coffees - getting greeted by Evaâs friendly smile in the morning sets you up for a great day!
Melbourne City & all respective citizens, if you don't drop into see Sam & his amazing crew, something is seriously wrong with you!! Guilty & healthy options available that taste so damn good!! Not sure what to try 1st, ask Sam for the hook up, he'll definitely provide a tasty/tastebud satisfying solution!! Go on, get on down there on the ASAP (WEEKDAYS ONLY!!)
