Kristy (Kids For Dinner)
+4
We visited for dinner on a Saturday evening. We were promptly welcomed and seated in one of their comfortable booths. The decor of the venue is welcoming and staff were friendly. We noticed a free glass of wine deal with every main meal, which was great value too!
We decided to order the kid’s fish and chips and penne pasta. My husband and I ordered the Calamari Salad (with cherry tomato, spring onion, corn, cabbage, rocket & tangy lemon dressing) and Grilled Chicken Salad (with smashed avocado, roasted capsicum, corn, pesto, fetta & rocket salad). We were pleased with the great healthy options available and how flavourful the dishes looked.
The kid’s meals arrived promptly and shortly after our meals arrived. We enjoyed our salads and the kids enjoyed their meals and trying some of our food too. Had we not been pushed for time, we would have loved to stay for dessert. We had a lovely visit and would love to return to try some meals from their brunch menu too.
I had quick brunch special greek bangles . Was Awesome and love the service

It is a lovely place with delicious food and beautiful services. I had summer avo and it was AMAZING!!! I will definitely come back again and recommend it to my friends. It is absolutely a perfect place to spend a weekend and enjoy a typical Melbourne brunch.: )
A cafe close to work that I frequently visit. Friendly staff and the best salads! Their specials menu change quite often too! So there is always something new the try.
I went down for breakfast today and the food was absolutely AMAZING! The pancake was just delicious and looks really fancy and I also met an Israeli women and she was really friendly and she looked after me, I left really happy and I'll definatlety be back.
Great local cafe! I have been living in the area for about 8 years now, and I still remember when I saw the new Astroluxe sign and I said, YES! A new cafe 🤗
My sister and I have walked down from our street a couple of times to order our favourite almond chai tea with honey, and it’s always perfect 👌🏽 We have also had brunch here and the food is great.
I definitely recommend if you live close by or are in the area!

Astroluxe has been on my radar for a while and now that I'm a local, I finally made my way over. We were warmly greeted upon arrival, and the waitress who looked after us made us felt right at home.
Feeling like sweets on top of sweets, I had a Banana Split smoothie and the Over the Moon Pancakes. I was definitely over the moon with the pancakes. Incredibly soft and fluffy, a great balance of different flavours, and not one but two scoops of ice cream! I wanted a bit more brownie crumble to add a more crunchy texture, but that was not a deal breaker at all.
My smoothie was just as delicious as the Super Green smoothie that my partner ordered. Mine was more indulgent and decadent, but his was a glass of refreshing and yummy green goodness.
My partner's mushroom dish was another stunner. An assortment of juicy shrooms, pecorino and goats curd, tangy salsa verde, and with the genius addition of pecan crunch. Of course, he had to add bacon and there was no way that did not take the yumminess up another notch. A crazy delicious dish.
Gorgeous brunch, lovely vibe and I definitely see myself returning.
Large family friendly cafe with a nice traditional brunch menu. The big breakfast here is seriously BIG and is enough to feed two! I really enjoyed the huge chunks of bacon in my chilli scramble and it’s one of those dishes you’ll want to order again and again. Staff are very enthusiastic and do a great job - particularly as Astroluxe is popular with many young families so can get busy pretty quickly.

😱Lizzie’s first impression: although a little out of the city, this brunch place is really worth checking out. The staff are super welcoming and attentive and the decor of the cafe is done really well.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: the food here is exceptional. The mushroom dish was delicious and honestly the stand out dish of this cafe - they put all kinds of mushrooms in and it all worked well together. They used goat cheese with honey and some nuts to even out the mushroom flavour and added a bit of texture to the dish - Very well thought out.
Their bacon and egg bun is magnificent and nothing I’ve tried before. Think a better version of the mcmuffin- it also had a egg sunny side up. I was so impressed and the flavours were all there especially with the cooked sweetened onions and the honey glazed bacon. It also came with a hash brown which perfected the plate.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: their pancakes were a little on the softer side which is not my preferred texture but each to their own. Nonetheless I loved the flavour especially with the passionfruit!
🥇Lizzie rates overall: the staff here are all so friendly and I loved the vibes of this suburban cafe. I will sure be back for more Astroluxe!
Very nice place with fantastic service. Delicious burger and the amazing smoothies. The pancake is soft and healthy. Will come again!!!! Highly recommend!!! Amazing place can hangout with friends and families
We love this place! Always super friendly service and the food is always fresh and generous portions. Truly can’t be faulted, one of the best cafes in bentleigh.
Whilst the exterior decor isn’t the most chic or suave in town, once you step in it’s a whole different story.
The spacious interior is modern and relaxing, with the main colour scheme being the sun-faded grey vibe. Everything was quite easy on the eye and harmonious. The staff was friendly and welcoming too.
We had the soba noodle salad (as per the recommendation of the chef) and the smashed avo on toasts with two lattes. The lattes were good, although not groundbreaking but it sufficed. The soba noodle salad was light, refreshing with a tangy sweetness on the tongue that was accompanied perfectly by the mint. The smashed avocado had great flavour and potential to be outstanding, however it fell short to the slightly over cooked poached egg. I like my eggs to be runny and coating my toast but this one was mostly solidified. Slightly disappointed for otherwise a nice experience.

Nice decor, friendly staff, we were lucky to get parking right outside but parking is often at a premium. Quiet for 9am on a Sunday. Nice menu variety. We had one of the big breakfasts, one serving of the pancakes and 3 bacon and egg rolls (one with fries). Milkshakes and coffees were also excellent

Astroluxe is a gorgeous all day eatery serving vibrant, fresh food in a beautiful spacious venue (loved the grey and pink interior) and even has a small courtyard out back (so puppy friendly!). We came for brunch after they recently launched their new menu, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
We had the Astro Signature Assorted Mushrooms which was an absolute winner - seriously if you love mushrooms you need to try this dish! Packed full of flavour and different varieties of seasonal mushrooms, it was elevated with leek, grated pecorino, salsa verde, goats curd, pecan crunch and a poached egg. The smell of this dish is amazing and it’s just lovely to eat all the way from first bite to last!
We also tried the Asian Chicken Soba Noodle Salad which was super fresh and delicious with free range grilled chicken, shredded chinese cabbage, pea, baby corn, carrots, fresh herbs, fresh chilli, roasted peanuts, spring onion, chilli and lime dressing. This is the sort of dish I could eat for lunch every day and never get tired of!
Lastly we had the Over the Moon Pancake which is a beautifully fluffy vanilla pancake topped with seasonal fruit, berry compote, vanilla ice cream, house made brownie crumb and maple syrup. This was delicious and would be a winner for kids especially.
Definitely give Astroluxe a try if you’re in the area, or make the drive for that mushroom dish in particular. The staff and owner Jackie are so lovely and their passion for food is so evident in each dish, with almost every element made in house. We can’t wait to go back!
We were really curious and just got time to try one of the brunch place in our area. Place is big enough and you can have a chill place to chat with your friends. The service is excellent with friendly waitress.
We tried Over The Moon Pancake, Son of a Bun Chicken Burger, and Astroluxe Wagyu Burger.
The pancake was thick and fluffy. Loving it so much with the perfect sweetness with 2 scoops ice cream on top, really satisfied my cravings. A little bit of brownies crumbles make it perfect with additional strawberry, raspberries, and blueberries.
The bun for the burgers are light and not too oily. The chicken is really crispy combined with veggies and kimchi makes it perfect combination. Additionally, the wagyu is the star with the cheese melting in between, bacon, and egg really fits our taste buds.
Overall, Place is really cozy for coming with your friends (we sit for 2.5 hours) and great food with good price.

Great local cafe if you're in the area!!
This place is run by the sweetest owner who has an extensive chef background, he loves creating new dishes and plating them in beautiful ways!
VENUE:
The venue is a standard cafe, can't complain :) They have a doggy courtyard which is a bit hard to get to as you have to walk all the away around, and it is a bit small.. but my Husky is also a fattie so that's probably why he had to squish haha!!! Perfect for smaller dogs I'd say :)
FOOD:
I came here about 4 months ago and did not really enjoy my meal (brekkie burger) but this time around was a different story. The meals have not only improved but compared to last time it is like a whole new menu!
SUMMER MUSHROOM:
omg can I just LIVE inside this dish!! This was so delicious, if you are a mushroom lover like myself you cannot go past this meal! It is paired with Pecorino cheese and goats curd, and creates such an amazing flavour combo!
THE ASTRO BREAKFAST:
Perfect after a big night out! It is loaded with everything you could need if you're in for a big greasy brekkie!
GREEN SALAD:
Super refreshing and very tasty! The tahini yoghurt used gives it a great flavour, great for someone looking for something light on the hips, but delicious on the lips ;)
OVER THE MOON PANCAKE:
So much yum! Although I'm not a sweet tooth myself, my brunch dates loved this dish! Great way to end your meal, they were fluffy and very filling
SUMMER LYCHEE PANNA COTTA:
I love lychee so this was a no brainer for me! The consistency isn't as great as other Panna's, but the flavour is still great, although I would have liked less granola. I think what stood out most though was the Lemon sorbet in it, that was so refreshing and tasty, loved it!
OVERALL:
Give this place a go if you're a local / in the area! It's a great staple cafe that is owned by passionate people excited about food :) I cannot wait to go back and try their winter menu!
INSTAGRAM: @ OVEREATING101
This place gets better each time I eat here. The food has always been healthy and tasty with quality ingredients, but the combination of textures and tastes has improved. Not personally keen on the coffee bean used but others seem to like it.
Great cafe. Everything about Astroluxe is great, the food, coffee and the service. I come often and my favourite meal is the chicken soba noodle salad. If you go here you will definitely not be disappointed.
A gorgeous little gem with a great ambience & an even more delicious menu! The food was outstanding! The pancakes were fluffy with so many complimentary flavours and textures on the plate! I can't wait to visit soon!
Hidden Away
This little cafe, hidden away is a little strip of shops was a good find.
I came here with my partner and we both loved our food. I had one of their burgers and it was fantastic! Great flavours that are unique to their take on a burger and yummy chips too!
Coffee was decent as well and ended with a delicious smoothie also.
Delicious :)
Really nice cafe! The outdoor area is super nice & lots of seating both indoor & outdoor! The food was really generously portioned & tastes great!
After coming here for 6 months for the usual "coffee run" in the mornings (soy capp is my brand), I finally stopped to have a banging brunch. Asian Chicken soba noodle salad was my fave with a side of chilli because I like it spicy ;). The pannacotta is everything you want in a pannacotta and your healthy mates will be ecstatic with the superfood crunch salad. Heaven.
Came here the other week with a bunch of other foodies and the vibe was absolutely outstanding, they had a HUGE variety of food and tasted outstanding, definitely one of those hidden gems in Bentleigh. Hands down you have to get the Reuben sandwich when you come!

I love the vibe and décor of Astroluxe! The courtyard is great, and it's also nice and comfy inside.
As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendly team. They really make you feel at home.
As for the food - the GREEN SALAD was so tasty! It has asparagus, broccolini, cabbage, peas, roma tomatoes, hazelnuts, herbs, dukkah and harissa eggplant! Super satisfying!
Would definitely recommend!
Absolutely loved visiting this cafe in Bentleigh - cute interior, good vibes and friendly service. Have to say my favourite dishes is definitely the summer mushrooms and the asian chicken soba and for the sweet tooths, try the over the moon pancake or lychee pannacotta. Family friendly joint - they have special offers time to time where kids eat for free.
What a great cafe for brunch and breakfast! I love the decorations,coffee and food. The staff are really friendly and I really enjoy my lunch especially under a super hot day. I love their chicken soba salad and their new drink lemon lime bitter! So refreshing!
Great coffee and always friendly staff greet you when you come in. Their brunch is recommended by other customer , we will try the next time.
Such a cute cafe, the owner is very friendly and I appreciate cafes like this. We went on a very hot day but it was still pleasant. We enjoyed the Reuben Sandwich, the Thai Chicken noodle salad and the creme brûlée pancakes! Recommend visiting, good vibe and nice interior!
Very friendly place suits different people. I am so glad that it has a small yard for dogs. Food is tasty and staff members are really helpful.
Beautiful food and coffees all the time! I love your new drink!!(Lemon Lime Bitter)the colour is so good and the layers are quite clear. Also the staffs are very friendly! this is definitely gonna be one of my favourites cafes in Melbourne.
One of our favourite south east side cafes. Us Breakybabes are always so delighted with Astroluxes friendly service but what keeps us coming back for more is the incredible food creations. Each dish you can feel and taste the love put in to it. The perfect amount of unique yet still having a classic home made food taste. The summer mushroom dish is by far my favourite off the menu with some cheeky added extras. Oh and if you are feeling a little daring you cannot go past Astroluxes Bloody Mary cocktail... I mean alcohol is totally acceptable for brunch, right?
Keep up the good work.... Will definitely see you soon.
Love Breakybabes ❤️
Love coming to Astroluxe! The food is delicious and the coffee is worth coming for. The staff are very friendly, definitely will be back soon.
Excellent.
As a non coffee drinker I was stoked to find this place had beer!
Jackie and his staff are super friendly and the food is great. Worlds best toasties!
A very nice cafe with friendly staff. Coffee is beautiful and I love super crunchy salad and green salad. Plus it's a dog friendly cafe with a nice backyard.
Really super delicious, coffee is also super good to drink, service attitude is super good, will often come over to eat in the future.........
Everything is amazing，especially chai latte.My daughter and I both love this restaurant. I want to recommend this restaurant to all my friends.Friendly service,lovely chef.
Food is fresh and delicious.
Salmon and soba noddles is my favorite dish. Green smoothies is nice too. My son loves the Pancake and we will definitely come back again.
The food were absolutely delicious and generous in servings! The staff were soo friendly and welcoming and the best part was that they now have a backyard area where dogs can play 😄 Will be back!
A nice cafe with delicious food and friendly staff! A wonderful place for weekend. The pancake is fantastic! It’s the best pancake I’ve ever had!
I just keep coming back for these fresh, delicious soba noodle salads! I’m obsessed! Astroluxe has really mastered this summer favourite!!!! Perfect brunch spot with a courtyard and beautifully modern interior as well 😍😍
Love this place, but absolutely gutted they've gotten rid of That Good Salad, which was a fantastic blend of roasted veggies and harissa. The other salad I got as a substitute is no where near as good.
Excellent customer service and great selection of food. My friend and I came early in the morning following our night shift just for their waffles and it did not disappoint! Wonderful combination of flavours and my favourite part of the dish was the caramelised banana.

Came to this place on a weekend after hearing so much about it. At first glance of the menu the dishes looked to be your run of the mill fare: reuben, eggs benedict, salad, pancakes, smashed avo, big breakfast, chilli scrambled eggs, burgers etc. I ordered the reuben because I have been looking for a good place to enjoy a delicious reuben and lo and behold I found it! The pastrami was juicy and savoury without being too salty, the swiss cheese had a gooey texture without being too cloying and the sauerkraut provided the sourness to the sandwich to cut through the richness of it. And of course the mayonnaise tied it all together and gave it some moisture. Even the bread was toasted to perfection. Also love the chips that went with it (though personally I feel that shoestring fries go better with this dish than chips) and the pickles were a nice palate cleanser in between bites. My partner ordered the green salad with chicken and said it was delicious. My iced coffee was aromatic and creamy as well. I’m excited to come back and try their other dishes on the menu.

Real rating 3.8 ⭐️
We had decided to visit Astroluxe as we had heard good reviews on it. Here’s what we had (note that this was their winter menu)!
Eggs benedict - served with apple slices, bacon and a rosti, this was an average dish with the bacon being slightly overcooked and the apple slices not really adding much variety to it.
Winter mushrooms - coming with seasonal mushrooms, salsa verde and goats curd, this was a pleasant and delicious dish (I’m admittedly a mushroom lover) with the mushrooms being flavorful thanks to the salsa verde and goats curd adding that extra kick to it!
Brûlée waffles - two scoops of ice cream, banana brûlée and fresh berries, what more could I ask for?! The waffles were cooked to perfection giving it a nice soft crunch to it and the dish was so beautiful and extremely yummy with the right level of sweetness for me! Each bite made me wanting to go back for more hence making it my favorite dish of the 3!
Overall, we had an enjoyable time at Astroluxe and can’t wait to try their summer menu next!
I visited here recently to try their new menu and really loved the caramel banana hotcakes and the chilli scramble. The green smoothie was also refreshing and good for the insides.
The smashed avo was nice but I would have preferred some chunks of fresh avocado to give it some extra texture, but this is a preference thing. I was impressed by the coffee and the passion the owner’s have for good coffee and offering a great meal and service to their customers. Some great specials on offer too like Friday night dinners and kids eat free on weekdays before 11.30am and after 1.30pm. Pop in and visit!
Thanks for having us!
3.5 Whatever you do, make sure you try the Summer lychee panna cotta. Refreshing, light and simply beautiful. Think wobbly panna cotta with chunks of lychee inside served with a playful amalgamation of raspberry jelly, white chocolate, lemon sorbet, coconut granola and goji berries.
Best service ever ! The owner is very friendly and courteous and his meals are beyond delicious ! A little local gem . Chicken meatball pasta is amazing as well as smoked salmon croquettes and calamari

We came by Astroluxe for a late lunch on Sunday. This cool little light filled venue had a pile of character in its simply designed interior. We liked the skylights and blue crockery.
Whilst listening to chill out tunes we perused the menu and started with a long black, a skinny latte and a super green smoothie. The smoothie was a lovely combo of fruit and veg and was made complete with a fresh ginger hit.
To continue on our healthy start, we ordered “That good salad”, a the combination of baby kale, cauliflower, roasted vegetables, full of sweet earthy roasted flavours and when combined with the pomegranates seeds, caraway seed purée and goats curd, a real sassy tang and fresh pop arrived on my taste buds. In my opinion a real winning food combination, very Ottolenghi.
To balance out our super healthy start we also ordered “The son of a bun chicken burger” and fries, this arrived in a super fresh brioche bun, with crispy double fried chicken and kimchee. The kimchee was paired with a sticky chilli caramel soy sauce and this bought a lovely sweetness to each bite, nice to mop up with the crispy fries.
Plenty of additional healthy and not so healthy choices on the menu and some flexibility around proteins so a good overall menu. Thanks so much for inviting us in. It’s would be a dream of mine to have a cafe of this standard near home so the locals must be wrapped.
Had such a delicious lunch here the other day 😍 I ordered the waffles, Asian salad and mushrooms. The Asian salad was definitely the hilight!! That dressing was so delicious and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The waffles were a perfect way to finish 👌🏼 such lovely service as well😍
Came here to try Friday dinner after seeing some yummy photos on Instagram. The Seafood pasta did not disappoint! The prawns were very succulent and pasta has a nice balance of flavor. The calamari entree were very tender with a tasty wasabi mayo. Overall had a very pleasant dining experience. The chef is also very welcoming.

Astroluxe is a fantastic cafe located on Chesterville Road in East Bentleigh. The interior is spacious & inviting with comfy booths as well as bigger tables for diners.
We visited on a Sunday & it was really busy, obviously a popular place with the locals.
The menu includes some traditional breakfast dishes with a twist as well as a strong Asian influence as well. We ordered a few meals to share, Asian chicken soba noodle salad, ‘that good salad’ and waffles to finish.
The Asian noodle salad was my favourite. Super fresh & full of flavour served with a chilli lime dressing which was delicious.
‘That good salad’ was full of roasted veggies, goats curd & a caraway seed purée. It had great flavour but not a particularly photogenic dish.
The waffles were so bright & colourful. Served with brûlée banana, vanilla anglaise, salted peanut praline, chocolate ice cream, raspberry sauce & white chocolate, it was sweet & indulgent & the perfect end to our meal.
It was lovely to speak to the owner who was very receptive to feedback on our meals. To me this is a sign of a business striving for constant improvement & I applaud him for this. A great cafe to check out, thanks so much for having us.

A perfect lunch at Astroluxe! The owner and staff were extremely accommodating and friendly and the food was delicious and presented beautifully! We parked right out the front (30 min parking) and sat inside although there is outdoor seating as well! We had a smoothie each and a meal and they were very tasty! The food came out quickly which was good so not much waiting time if your in a hurry!. After lunch we enjoyed a cake and coffee. The food was all very fresh and large portion sizes. Overall I couldn’t fault this restaurant and will be going back again for sure! Thanks Astroluxe 👍
After going to Astroluxe a couple of months ago and loving it I just had to go back to try the new spring/summer menu! Once again the brunch experience was perfect. This time we sat out the back (you can bring your fur baby) which was lovely with greenery and some sunshine. We ordered the Over The Moon pancakes , The Astro Breakfast and The Superfood Crunch Salad! Everything was very tasty and the meals were quite large ( I couldn’t eat it all) although I wanted to! The hotcakes were to die for! So so yummy! We also had the mango smoothie and berry (we had last time) and again were delish! The service was friendly and the meals were quite quick in coming out. Highly recommend you pop in here!

We came into Astroluxe for dinner the other night and was pleasantly surprised with the extensive menu . Astroluxe only does dinner once a week on a Friday night and after speaking to the chef we found out that this menu also changes weekly.
We tried his special chicken wing dish which had a secret sauce that was tangy , spicy, sweet and utterly delicious , this dish to me was a 10/10. We then sampled his smoked salmon croquette which was a creamy smooth texture . The outside was crunchy and my partner mentioned this was one of this top dishes this year ( a great compliment) , he could not stop raving about it
For mains we ordered the beef bourguignon with creamy mash and also a seafood pasta . The spaghetti although was not home made had great flavour , we even found out the olives were marinated in house. The seafood was abundant and also very fresh . The beef bourguignon was a very delicious dish indeed, the stew was rich in flavour and tasted like it had been cooking for hours as the meat was falling apart, the mash underneath was creamy and silky smooth- another perfect dish
Cannot wait to try out the brunch menu here . Thankyou so much for having us !

Located in Chesterville Road, Bentleigh East, on a very unassuming precinct, Astroluxe is bringing in an air of class into the neighbourfood. While there is nothing wrong with a bain marie and a charcoal chicken shop (both things I frequent), it's nice for Bentleigh to have some cafes that you would normally need to go to Brunswick St or the inner East side to access.
We were invited by the owner to try their menu on a Monday lunchtime. THe interior is very typical of the latest bunch of modern cafes that have popped up. Shades of pastel, black bars, open kitchen, greenery.
We had the 'That good salad' and the 'Waffles'. That good salad was, so so so good. It was well balanced, crunchy, sweet, savoury, caramlised, moist. We really enjoyed it and licked the plate clean.
Waffles are on par with the best of the best instagram waffle dishes that are out there. The point of difference is the brulee banana, I very much enjoyed that. The seasonal fruits countered the ice cream and angalise and raspberry sauce. Waffles themselves are a denser belgian waffle. Very decadant, but not sickly.
Smoothies were tasty and refreshing. Overall, Astroluxe is a much needed addition to Bentleigh East.
We were lucky to be invited to this cute suburban cafe in Bentleigh. This friendly, warm cafe has the perfect atmosphere for a weekend brunch. With a large range of breakfast,brunch and lunch options and even a cute kids menu.
What we ordered:
Chilli Scrambled Egg: Definitely a meal for the hungry with 2 slices of toast and a mountain of Chilli Eggs. This dish was flavoursome with the kick of chilli.
Fish of the Day: Grilled crisp salmon, salsa verde with saute carrots and roast potatoes. This was a great lunch meal. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the carrots and potatoes accompanied this dish well.
Waffles: Unfortunately the waffles were a bit disappointing as they were a bit dry. However the toppings were great! With ice cream, cream and a brûlée banana.

We were invited to Astroluxe on the weekend and what a fabulous spot it was. Located super close to chadstone (my happy place) it’s modern fitout and delicious menu make it the perfect spot to lunch post an afternoons shopping. And if you’re a lucky local kids eat free on weekdays when adults order a meal between 11.38 and 1.30- definitely a very family friendly place.
We chose the fish of the day off the specials menu and were pleased with its restaurant quality plating. The menu boasted many interesting and impressive specials that you wouldn’t typically see a cafe offering. Even the smashed avo which I ordered had a bit off a twist with a house made cashew cream. This complimented the beautiful roasted super sweet tomatoes and the Persian feta and olive bread gave it a little saltiness
We then had the waffles for a sweet ending which was an excellent choice. Some of the best I’ve tried, well made and lots of flavour in the various accompaniments. The owner told us he wasn’t overly interested in ‘ Instagram food’ that’s more focused with appearance rather then taste. He just wants to serve good quality food, as far as I’m concerned though they have nailed both. Washed down with a mango and coconut smoothie I was one happy customer
In a small, nondescript row of shops, lies Astroluxe – a larger than average suburban cafe with an eclectic menu and a great family feel. We actually...
We had a birthday party there recently and I cannot recommend Astroluxe highly enough. The food was delicious (and reasonable); there were 20 of us and not one person was unhappy with food. The service was great and they were so accommodating in assisting us with this gathering. And, it has a really nice vibe.
Great Cafe! Love their eggs benedict! Taste is amazing good. The staff are friendly as well. Every time I went there from Hobart, excited to try that dish! It's very hard to find the good chai latte while they nailed it! Glad to know this place, 5 stars give to them and recommend friends to come and visit as well if you were in Melbourne.
Latte was wonderful and beautiful. Chicken Burger and Smashed Avocado were really good and worth to try. Soba noodles and fruit smoothies were healthy and delicious. The service was quick and staff friendly. It was a nice place. Will be back soon to try others on the menu
First time to go, soba noodle is yummy, smoothie is awesome! Lovely service, my friend and I enjoyed the meal here. We will come back to try some different soon :)
A very nice place for breakfast. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The chicken burger did stand out and was worth the try. The smashed avo was good too. Will definitely be going back to try more dishes off the menu.
After walking out of poncho we went here for breakfast! Very nice spot service extremely quick and food was very nice. Ordered chilli scrambled eggs x3 with avocado. Was literally on our table in 4 minutes with coffee to accompany!
Well done- would recommend this.
Been here a few times and the food is always tasty. The service however is a little arrogant. When I mentioned my toast was burnt it was whisked away without any words and returned with fresh toast. This is great that it was done but perhaps a ‘I’m sorry about that let me get that fixed up for you’ the mushroom fish is delicious!
What a great spot! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is quirky, contemporary and charming! Staff were attentive and friendly! The menu was versatile, healthy and unique! The food was exceptional and beautifully presented! Will be back really soon to tick off everything on the extensive menu!

Astroluxe is very easy on the eye. Nice décor, the signage, the people, the furniture - it’s all very appealing. The menu too, is quite eclectic. Lunch options look tremendous but for the debut visit it was breakfast that was experienced. The Dear Luncher experienced their chilli scrambled eggs. In addition, after seeing a cheese kransky on someone else’s breakfast plate a decision made was to add this sausage to the eggs. It was a tremendous idea because this cheese kransky was the highlight of the meal. Cheeze ooze noticeable when cutting through it, high quality smallgood. The Dear Luncher is all about high quality smallgoods. The chill scrambled eggs were not what was expected. They were decent, but they were just scrambled eggs interwoven with some spring onion and non-spicy chilli strands. There was some expectation of some zest, and a bit of a heat kick – none was present. Still, very nice eggs and the parmesan cheese they were cooked with was a nice change-up. The coffee, was just OK. A little on the bitter side. This place is busy for a reason though, an impressive operation.
Beetroot Cured Salmon + sides of local smoked cheese kransky, and hollandaise
Dill beetroot and peppercorn cured salmon, sweet potato rosti, wasabi creme fraiche, poached egg (gf)
Wow what a little gem of a place. Intricate and complimenting flavours all plated up so prettily! The hollandaise was really, really good.
Can also vouch for the Pavlova Pancakes and Autumn Mushrooms!
Visited this cafe based on Instagram pics & reviews. Greeted by a lovely female staff member & first round of coffee was great. Ordered the autumn mushroom brekkie & pretty disappointed - wayyyyyyyy too much garlic & oil for a breakfast dish. Serious overkill on the pesto too.
Before leaving, ordered a chocolate milkshake & coffee to takeaway- the milkshake was $8!!!!! and was presented in a small plastic takeaway cup with a straw- very disappointing & overpriced for $8. The takeaway coffee also lacklustre & not consistent with quality of previous coffee at start of the meal. Overall, super expensive breakfast stop for what was ordered.
I've been wanting to try this cafe for a long time and finally made it. Ordered myself the beetroot cured salmon and a coffee. Coffee was spot on but cant quite say the same for the meal. I know it was beetroot cured salmon- and that was great, but then there was way too much beetroot on the plate. To be honest, i'm not a big beetroot fan so this was totally overwhelming. Didn't finish my meal.
Also, grabbed myself a takeaway coffee, but was disappointed when the medium size takeaway cup was a scam. It was taller and slimmer and no way bigger than the serving size of a small coffee.
food was absolutely delicious, we had the soba noodles and kofta! staff were attentive and helpful with what to choose on the menu!! will definitely come back again!!
Service was a little lackluster... Perhaps they were understaffed. But the long wait to order and then for food and drinks was rewarded. The food was amazing, great portion size and value for money. Further the presentation was truly Instagram worthy.
Very nice cafe, they have a huge variety of options, I tried the chilli brunch, everything was amazing. They also have fresh juices and the coffee was delicious. The portions are very generous, surely visiting again
Had some foods and coffee as a brunch.
The food was surprisingly tasty despite the cheap price.
I ate "Pasta of the day" for just 17.5AUD, and its volume satisfied me!
Today we have breakfast @ astroluxe, the food was really delicious and good service good sized meals for the price, coffee was also really good. Will be going back!!
First visit to Astroluxe this morning. Very impressed. Friendly service, great coffee, scrumptious kids pancake and delicious smashed avo!!
We came here on a Monday for lunch. I love the atmosphere and decor of this cafe. The food was excellent (vegan bowl, felafel salad) and the service was great. We'll be going back :)
We had the salmon bagel and the pancakes to share as a bit of a main and dessert combo. The flavour of both were really good. Service was great and they brought a water bowl for the pooches, fairly standard cafe prices so I thought the bagel was a little over priced but compared to other cafes the price point checks out.
Friendly staff and food quite good, relatively basic and limited options but they’re done well. The Astro breakfast was a lot bigger than expected with pretty much the whole cheesy kransky and generous portions of everything. Good place if you’re looking for a decent sized feed. Venue was a little drafty in areas.
