Around the corner from Eaglemont train station with ample seating inside.
Traditional breakfast menu with a large warm / cold salad bar.
Service is honest and friendly.
A few years ago this provender/cafe was quite ordinary, with indifferent service, unappetizing, but expensive dishes, bad coffee and factory atmosphere. But recently much is improved: the staff are friendly, the cuisine is good to very good, especially the cakes and sandwiches, and the coffee is outstanding. So very good so far.
The prices are still on the high side and the decor is pedestrian, unless you like the sound of metal chairs on concrete. Old wooden planks for flooring and some eccentric or otherwise character-building wall coverings would help. Examples of similar places with character and excellent food and service are Willo in East Kew, the Red Door in Northcote and Milkwood in Coburg.
A great meal today -Home made pastie - which was really tasty.First time I have been here and I would return.Disappointment with the service of extra hot hot chocolate which was returned and the replacement was just the same if not a little cooler.Toilet just average .
Located in the quaint village of Eaglemont lies this gem! The quality and HUGE variety of both fresh dine in and take away food is exceptional, providing choices for both vegetarians and coeliacs too. You can tell that the food is made with the highest quality ingredients, and the generous servings make the prices worthwhile. The coffee is creamy and hot just as it should be, and the staff and customer service is friendly and fast. You MUST go in on a Thursday and try their passionfruit sponge, it is to die for! The only negative here would be deciding what to eat :)
A great place for a quick take home meal, that is satisfying and generous. We love their Pasties, and all the dishes are ideal for Friday night dinner instead of eating pizza or fish n chips. Prices are comparable but heaps better, and the whole family loves it.
I've also used The Dish to cater for work functions and although I can't have the food delivered, it's worth the effort, well according to our staff it is. Thanks so much.
Great Catering. Eaglemont Dish catered for my husbands 60th birthday. It was a cocktail party. The food was absolutely fantastic especially the mini chicken & leek pies & the mini sliders. Our guests are still raving about all the delicious food. We will definitely be engaging Debra & her team again. Thank you Eaglemont Dish for making the evening so special. Helen & Steve
Its a Dish!. Drinking my perfect coffee and watching waves of fresh food being replenished constantly in the cabinet. I know I have had it before but I cannot go past the takeaway creamy green chicken curry. This place is heaven for those of us who constantly suffer the "whats for dinner?" syndrome. And remember they are huge serves!
An Eaglemont Gem.. We have been regulars at The Dish since they opened 10 years ago. Not only do they do fabulous breakfast and lunch fare but they also have a large array of foods to take home when I can't be bothered cooking. Everything is made on the premises daily . Delicious Curries , lasagne, stir fries, Bol sauce ,pastries, desserts etc, the list goes on . You can also choose from the cabinet to eat in as well. This is a truly a hidden gem and we love it.
Go the Dish!. I've been a regular at the Eaglemont Dish for 10 years and along with hundreds of others love the place. Except for the bread everything is made on premises, eat in in or take it home when you don't have time to cook yourself, it's great.
Lamb curry. Loved the lamb curry with eggplant - ordered the smaller size $13.50 I think. It was plenty big enough. Coffee was good too! They have a varied range of food for lunch or take away. Great cakes too!
Awesome cafe. Had a chai latte and a mocha with a blueberry muffin. Service and food was fantastic!
I highly recommend this Cafe in Eaglemont. The smashed avo is so tasty and now my favourite. Even though I changed my mind from takeaway to dine-in, they didn't mind and was still cool with it. The staff were friendly except for one who took our plates after we ate and didn't speak or ask if we were done. The rest of the experience was great and the little hiccup in their wonderful service and food won't change my 5 star. Aniseed is the best Cafe in the neighbourhood.
Happened to attend market day on Sunday at Eaglemont Village . Grabbed a coffee and a lemon crumble slice - both were fantastic! Even when they were under the pump the staff were super friendly.
Stopped in a small group of shops in eaglemont and found a fantastic hole in the wall called aniseed.Great coffee! food was excellent and well priced!
If you're in the area highly recommended!
The coffee - Really nice (and premium quality beans)!
The food - Fresh, tasty and prepared with love!
The People - More than Fantastic! Always with a genuine smile!
The overall energy of the place - Just the kind of cafe that you'll always want to go back to!
5 solid, stars!

A quaint little cafe with delicious food that is not over priced (considering the area I was very surprised at how reasonably priced everything was). Staff are really friendly and accommodating... I had my dog with me so they came straight out to take my order (and pat the dog).
Great coffee, friendly staff and good food. Love that the bacon is free range. All the produce tastes fresh. And it's simply a nice place to sit.
