A workmate and I were staying next door so went here for breakfast on the way to the office on our first morning. We placed our order and I made a few changes to the standard offering on the menu on mine. He didn't write anything down but just remembered our orders. Food was pretty cheap (esp for South Yarra!) and really good (and order was right even though he'd not written it down). Service was lovely and fast but we didn't feel rushed. The next morning a third workmate joined us for breakfast here. As we three walked in the guy who served us the day before (the owner?) smiled and said to take a seat. He gave us a little time to chat and came over and asked "Same as yesterday?" to the two of us! And we both said yes ... and he came out with exactly the right order - drinks and food with my changes and all! Super impressed! Great service! 5 stars from us!
Interesting place in a unique way. I have enjoyed my breakfast there and their coffee was best. The
staff greeted us nicely and served me well. It has very different vibe to other cafes,but in a cool and interesting way!
I live around the corner and its my place for coffee every day and breaky when I have time.
Definitely would recommend a trip to the Einstein’s Relative, if you are in South Yarra!
Cute and cosy cafe tucked away between apartments in the busy backstreets. I couldn’t go past the halloumi bruschetta, but felt like it was missing a flavour pop.
I came here for brunch with a group of friends! It’s a small brunch spot but really cute and gives off a homely vibe. The coffee here was good, although maybe alittle too strong for me. Both me and my friend felt weirdly jittery (more than after a normal coffee) after our coffees. The food here is good and offers something different to your standard brunch menu! I ordered the Middle Eastern Sabich Brekky. It was full of flavour and I’m glad I ordered it, however I think the portion size and quantity of food could have been a tad bigger considering the price, however this is brunch in Melbourne so it’s never going to be super cheap! I would definitely recommend this place to a friend. The coffee was really good and seemed to be a popular stop for people to grab a takeaway coffee! The staff were friendly and the service was decently fast.
The porridge: is one of my favourite “treat yo self” breakfasts, healthy start with a bit of chocolate to satisfy those cravings straight away and keep you on track for the rest of the day. It’s filling, delicious and the flavours work well together.
The salad:
Well cooked, made and delivered in good time, fresh ingredients and a great combination of flavours.
I always enjoy meals prepared by this restaurant, they always meet my expectations if they haven’t exceeded them.

A modest and cosy little cafe tucked away on Yarra Street, where parking may be difficult to come by, but there’s always the train station or tram stop just a hop and a skip away. Service is welcoming, and the casual atmosphere provide a much needed reprieve from the never-ending traffic and pedestrians on Toorak Road.
The menu hasn’t seem to have changed much, or any at all, since our last dine-in visit over 2 years ago! Still on the menu is the Nobel Prize Winner salad, which I remembered having previously because I have a picture of it and because it was so very delicious, healthy and filling.
This time around we ordered the Mushies & Challah, and Mama’s Meatballs on a challah roll. You can never go wrong with any type of sweet bread, and the challah was scrumptious! Soft, fluffy and toasted to perfection. Both dishes were bursting with flavours, and the sweetness of the challah provided a nice contrast to the savoury ingredients.
My partner gets his takeaway coffee from here now and then, and he only has good things to say about the latte here. If possible, avoid the iced latte when dining in as while it’s a much bigger serving size than others, it does taste much weaker compared to the hot version.
My boyfriend and I just went here for brunch and we absolutely loved it!
We usually get one sweet and one savoury dishes, so we got the açai bowl (which he preferred) and the mushrooms with challah (which I preferred). We liked our dishes so much that we didn't even want to share them with each other!
We drank a mixed orange and carrot juice, which was lovely, and a hot chocolate with coconut milk and marshmallows (I really appreciated the fact that they had coconut milk).
Staff was very friendly, the place is comfortable and we paid less than $40 for all this yummy food.
We are definitely coming back, multiple times ;)
Einstein's Relative has not only a smart name, but also offers tasty food with good and healthy ingredients. It is an excellent choice for breakfast.
Great coffee, food and service. I have my morning coffee at this cafe every working day, and I'm pretty sure they make the best almond lattes in Melbourne! Love it
Delicious food, friendly staff and service. Quantity was above the expectation and price was reasonable. Like the healthy version of the menu. Love to come back.

Really friendly staff, good coffee, and an interesting brunch menu with plenty of middle eastern inspired dishes. Meatball sub was out of this world, with juicy meat, crisp bread, yoghurt and guacamole on the side. The ability to add hash browns just sealed the deal for me!
Love this place! One of mine and my partners favourite brunch spots! Most friendly staff I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. I'm sure it's the food and coffee that does it, my lord. Get the mamas meatballs if you're hungry and hungover, so damn good.
This place is fantastic! Such a creative menu - but not so out there that you'll be confused by what you're eating. Hearty brunch with a twist. Love it! Coffee is also great, and service is wonderful. It's all undercover and can be a bit windy and cold at times... But then again, so is the rest of Melbourne.
Great bacon with my eggs. Coffee tasted good bit was a little cold. We also had a bacon and egg sandwich and the relish was a little sweet. I liked it and my wife thought it was ok. It was a quick, pleasant breakfast with friendly service.
Meatball sub was incredible and coffee was really great aswell
Service was incredible
Wait time was incredible
Suprised me! Was staying nearby and came here for a quick feed and coffee.
Quirky little place with a cool science titbits around.
I had an egg and bacon roll and it was simply but very tasty. Don't expect upmarket style here my food was great. It has a tomato relish on it that was great.
Coffee was great as well. I had a soy Capp (they use bonsoy) and it was very good.
Service was great. Very welcoming and speedy with everything.
Whole place was an honest suprise at how good it is.
