The best little cafe with the sweetest staff. Hands down the cheapest breakfast around. They also have Indonesian options as well. I got the soto chicken. It was very tasty with lots of veges and chicken. Really satisfied my noodle soup craving. Will definitely be back!

Was pleasantly surprised by this cafe. Whenever I’ve walked past on my way to work it was always fairly busy, and so I decided to pop in and try it out one weekend. It’s a small and pretty plain-looking space, and yet feels cosy. The menu is intriguing in that they offer your typical cafe breakfast options, but also Indonesian/Malaysian dishes. We ordered a flat white and matcha latte to start, and for food the roti chanai with satay sauce, laksa and migoreng. The matcha was pretty decent, while the flat white was not bad. The roti chanai was delicious and well cooked - soft yet crispy, and the sauce complemented it perfectly. The laksa was good; the broth was a decent level of creamy and flavourful, and the noodles were thin rice noodles which was a but of a change as we were used to egg noodles +/- rice noodles. The migoreng would be more accurately named if it were listed as a “stirfry noodle” on the menu; but there was lots of vege and meat, and for the price point it was a good portion so I was satisfied. Service was attentive and good. Can’t go wrong with this place if you’re just after a comfortable cheap breakfast/brunch option.
The presentation and quality of food has definitely improved since the last time I visited. From time to time I have fall back upon the comfort of coconut and kafir lime red chicken curry or Ayam Rujak. Zero guilt feelings and full on taste. The presentation has certainly gone up a notch. The owners are friendly as always and I always leave here with warm feelings and a smiling face. Quality food, at a very very reasonable price.
Great quality, home style, authentic, tasty food and a below average price. Need to add a few more characters, so will definitely go back to sample other dishes.
Very reasonable place in South Yarra. I enjoyed $11 curry laksa. The owner was friendly and work well. I loved their atmospher and felt like to stay longer.
One of the lunch cafes I was always keen to hit but always missed was Krakatoa, which does Asian-styled breakfasts with funky Malaysian and Indonesian twists. It’s closed on a Tuesday as well as after 3pm but it’s a nice change of pace that’s well worth making time for when you’re in South Yarra.
This has got to be the cheapest breakfast in the area! We came here for a change, wanting to try somewhere different for breakfast. To be honest we were actually quite surprised to see that they do 'traditional' western-style breakfast dishes, as the menu appears to be predominantly Asian inspired, but thought "eh, why not?". I almost fell off my chair when I saw how that I could order breakfast for less than $10! I ended up ordering the 'Vegetarian Breakfast' with avocado for $11. It was really good! Just goes to show that it pays to think outside of the box when looking at eat-out breakfast options. Can't wait to try some of the rest of the menu!
Been walking past this place for a year and finally wandered in. So glad I did because I can see this place becoming a regular stop for breakfast and lunch. Casual and homey vibe. Friendly service. Great price point for Toorak Road. When I saw "Coffee in Mug" on the drinks menu I was sold. Home style breakfast (omelet, poached eggs, toast, spinach and mushrooms) was tasty. Will be back to try the Indonesian options soon!
Popped in for the Super Special big breakfast @ $11, can't go wrong! Large in size with sausage, eggs, bacon, toast, mushrooms and a hash brown fantastic value! Fresh juice was also good! Service was exceptional! A hidden gem amongst all the over priced diamonds in the area!
Very good service. I like it how the Asian guy nervously watches you eat his food and drink his coffee to see if you like it. I liked it buddy - and I like you. See you soon. (28/9/15)
Have since been back and let me tell you, never a dull moment at Krakatoa! You know where to find me and my pals on our days off...... Krakatoa. I've witnessed the highs and lows.... Mainly lows, that Krakotoa has endured and watched it flourish and blossom into the young Cafe it has become today. Here's to many more years of thriving success to come! (21/3/16)
Good, affordable food. Really nice rice paper rolls. Delicious satay sauce & generous serving size. Helpful polite service too. Very casual, worth a visit.
So happy with this find, amazing tasting food, good portions and great value for money. Something to please my partner and I when we didn’t feel like the same cuisine. He had the big brekky and I had the laksa. Decent coffee as well. Service is good. Casual relaxed seating. Just what we needed after a big night.
***UPDATE*** This cafe is now closed for good and will not reopen in 2020. Thank you DJ and Marie for dedicated service you have provided the locals since 1997. Sit back now, relax and best wishes in retirement. DJ at 95 years you've done your bit.
Pleasant aussie style breakfast made by Indonesians. Work that out. I've been to this cafe many times and not much changes. Good honest reliable food at a reasonable price.
This has been a favourite of mine (and for so many famous South Yarra residents) for decades. It is still family run and operated. The food is so authentic and delicious. I always go back for the Nasi Goreng as it so filling and delicious. Well worth a visit for breakfast or lunch
Nice food and cozy cafe. Very happy with my vegetarian nasi goreng
This is Sunday morning favorite! Very much a secret spot in South yarra. A family run place, cozy, friendly and cute ! Simple breakfast food made well and tasty, and at a low cost too ! Love love love it !
Great little cafe that serves breakfast and Indonesian food. Had a soto chicken. Super tasty noodle soup with lots of chicken and lots of veges. Will definitely come by again
