I love the comfortable and homely feel of this cute cafe in Kensington. Staff are really friendly and chatty, and the place is often full, with lots of locals coming here for the fantastic coffee and food.
With an interesting menu and yummy treats available, I always manage to find something delicious to eat when I pop in. These guys also do a fab takeaway coffee, and it's one of my favourites when I'm in this part of town.
One of my faves since moving to Kenso six years ago, and I've never been disappointed! Excellent coffee and great menu choices that are a bit different to your standard Melbourne brunch fare. Very reasonably priced too. Great gluten free options. Friendly and efficient service. Eggs poached to perfection which is a rare find these days and all food looks amazing. Had the brassica classica and unlike salads in other Melbourne cafes, it is very moreish and actually a decent portion and filling.
There’s a few brunch offerings in Kensington and we opted for FOP for their spin on the eggs Benny. Theirs is served on a potato hash and drowning in apple cider hollandaise. How divine. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the hash was crispy and hearty. Friendly and prompt service, this is a lovely dining spot along the sunny Bellair Street strip.
As a Kensington resident, I found this cafe’s mocha is so far the best around the neighborhood.
I do like the coffee from Pepper, but their mocha is not as good as this place’s.
The service is good, people who work there are always warm and nice.
The brunch menu provides a lot of options, and if you don’t want any meal on the menu? Don’t worry, customized meal is always an option.
I love the chat potatoes there, as well as the eggs Benedict. The cheese cakes are also worth a try. :)
The eggs benedict with ham hock was delicious, my poached eggs were slightly over cooked but not enough to ruin the dish. The hollandaise sauce has a delicious apple cider flavour, which works so well with the ham hock. Great dish, I highly recommend it. My partner was also extremely excited because they served 'spiders'.. and yes it's true, some people never grow up. My chai latte was also fantastic. Overall, it was a great Saturday morning breakfast in the sun.
Friyay lunch date with husband who's just come home from a work trip. A quaint little place with a great atmosphere, service and lovely prints that were available for purchase. I had the halloumi + zucchini fritters and a hulk juice. Husband had a classic chicken + avo and a skinny latte to boot. Lovely food. Lovely staff and a beautiful spring day. What more can you ask for?
Best Soy Latte in Melbourne!! Absolute love that this place is in my local area! If your not from the Kenso area, defiantly make a trip for the coffee!
Just across the road from Kensington station, this is a great little cafe to grab a quick bite for lunch when I'm working from home. Coffee does the job most of the time.
Hmmm, this place was a mixed bag on the day of this visit. My Eggs with Attitude was great, loved the spicy chorizo hit, but the ricotta hotcakes were a disappointment. Hotcakes were massive and very stodgy, lacking any real flavour except the masses of chocolate sauce. Coffee was good. Give thos place a go but just be wary of what you order!

Another Local Place delivering quality food.
Me and a fried stopped by here on a Tuesday around 12pm and it was not busy but not quiet either considering it was mid week and most people were at work. We were greeted and seated immediately being brought water and our coffee order taken. The Coffee's arrived fast and hot, me going for the classic flat white and Hilda a latte. The latte art was ok but not the best for Kens'o and therefore did not qualify for a photo. Taste wise the coffee was ok but again not the best in Kensington.
We finally looked though the menu and ordered., I went for the Breaky board and Hilda just opted for a pastry as she had already eaten. The food was delivered fast an to good standards. The Board consisted of a single slice of sour dough with smashed avo and a poached egg, a small orange juice and a pot of granola with yogurt. A good amount of food and reasonable value at $19. Fresh and flavorsome and a good choice especially if you want a couple of things on the same plate.
The Pastry was nice, and from their cabinet i am sure the others were great too a wide selection from cheesecake's to brownies and muffins. I will be back to test those for sure. The service was great and consistent across all the staff who interacted with us. I'd avoid the coffee here not that its bad there is just better locally.
Restaurant Type : Brunch Cafe
Pros : Nice service, AMAZING milkshake and decent coffee. Food was all good.
Cons: Wife says her scrambled eggs were a litte overdone but still good.
Little bit pricey but not insane for similar cafe's.
The staff and service was great. The coffee here is amazing. One of the best lattes I have had in a long time. Had waffles for breakfast and they were well portioned and beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We will definately be back and might give the French toast a go next time.
The food was amazing! I ordered the Cheesy Chipotle scrambled eggs on a croissant and it was mindblowingly yummy!
My partner's coffee was good and the hot choc I got was made with actual molten chocolate and soooo delicious! It was a great find and we'll definitely be visiting again to explore their other brunch options!
What a great place to have Brunch great service friendly helpful staff ...
Great menu to choose from whether it's a coffee to takeaway or just to order or dine in. Plus you can modify your order as I did today ...much grateful it was superb 👌 I shall be back 👏😀
Sat outside had the FOP fritters, really nice , not a clue what was in them but so good. My partner had eggs benny which she enjoyed. All the food coming out looked good. Staff were attentive and friendly. Looking forward to another brunch there.
To the staff member who was working Monday 11th April & served my mum while I waited outside with my puppy- the beautiful message you wrote on my coffee cup was so thoughtful. My beloved senior dog was at that moment in hospital receiving chemotherapy & we decided to get a cup of tea while we waited- your small gesture gave me some hope & lifted my spirits. Thank you 💗
