Love the outdoor areas. The porridge and the corn waffle were awesome but the Spanish baked egg was very oily. I wish we can get something Lemony to cut through the grease.

5 stars for an almost perfect brunch experience; went with the wife and young bub this morning and came away full of great food and reasonably pleased with the service that went with it.
We arrived around 11:30 and were quickly found a pram-friendly table inside, with the staff moving furniture to accommodate the pram and, after a further request, a high-chair (as an aside, it was one of the better high-chairs we have encountered - our bub had a ball). Our first order for drinks was quickly taken, with mine, a bottled soft-drink, delivered promptly; the first minor blemish was a delay in having the banana smoothie brought out. Once alerted to the delay, the staff were all over the situation and had it brought out quickly. The wife didn't eventually enjoy the smoothie, but I tried it and thought it was quite alright.
For food we ordered an avocado pide with added egg and the gnocchi special; a second blemish, with the egg not provided with the pide, was very quickly rectified with no fuss. While the pide was great, the mix of cottage cheese and avo was really refreshing on a warm day, the gnocchi was the cake-taker; I'd nearly ordered this also and had serious envy of the wife when it came out. Thankfully her serving was huge, so I was able to polish off the gnocchi mixed with bacon, mushroom, peas, parmesan and a wonderfully rich and creamy sauce for her. Yum.
We finished with sweets, sharing a chocolate brownie and vanilla slice between us as our bub ate comparatively unremarkable puree (BYO). We agreed that the vanilla slice was possibly the best ever encountered by either of us, while the brownie was also very tasty.
We have been previously for a quick bite and coffee, but this second visit has cemented Canteen as a lock-in for future feeds. Highly recommended, particularly when the weather is nice enough to enjoy the outdoor eating area (as many were today with their pooches). Family friendly, great food and great service, how could you go wrong.
Hadn't been in a few years but stopped by early on last Sunday morning. At 9am the place was already busy! Was in a rush so ordered straight away. Had the special, Smashed Avo with asparagus, eggs and dukkah. It arrived quickly and was delicious! Service was prompt and friendly and coffee was good and also arrived quickly. Will be back again!
Everything is so so beautiful view staff food especially on a sunny day outside first time here but will come back again and again came with my puppy and she was so calm and absolutely loved it.

+3.5
Lunch here was pretty good. Wouldnt say its my all time favourite but was good. Worth a try if in the area. Good area on a nice day. 3.5 is fair.
Great little spot by the water to stop at on a bike ride or walk. I had the shakshuka eggs (a special) and added pulled pork. It was full of flavour and to be honest, didn't even need the side of pork, my eyes were just bigger than my belly! My boyfriend said his chicken pepper pide was pretty good. Lastly, my coffee was really nice, and the service was good too! I'd recommend it.
This place is great for a sunny afternoon but I think is pretty expensive for what it is. They've changed the menu now but I had black sticky rice and it was everything but sticky. Coffee is good though and their caramel slice is awfully delicious! Service could be quicker
Very friendly service. Short but varied menu. Excellent food in lovely surroundings. Fresh flavours and cooking done with great care. We'll be back here a lot.
A must go to try the italian hot chocolate! Great to finish off the walk on the bike track, and even to sit and chill on the outside tables. Such a family friendly restaurant and even very accommodating to have dogs sit beside you whilst you enjoy the amazing food. The smashed avocado comes with the most amazing cream cheese, its a must order.
Great spot! I had a delicious Butter Chicken curry on a rainy day. Eftpos minimum is $20 which is a little high and the curry was $20 too so that worked out well. Music was a tad loud. All in all a great spot. Will definitely come back
Love this place. The lamb curry was cooked to it perfection. Tender meat. A great cafe for our after workout and Coffees were great. Love their floor staffs and very attentive. Asked for Aden one of their super star.
Love this cafe. A great location within a busy Melbourne city. Staffs are great very friendly. Food are just amazing. Owners very helpful and have big hearts. Where else facing Yarra River and good food would you like.. highly recommended!
Very good food and a terrific setting along the yarra bank. Latte has too much froth and that bitter back of the throat taste I'm not fond of. English breakfast tea was pretty good though according to my partner in crime.
Just stopped for coffee. Ended up having the freshest eggs (poached). Mind you i didnt have to have the obligatory two. Ordered one which left room for a fresh fluffy poached fruit muffin. And to top it off real butter for the toast !!! Hubby had eggs Benny. Coffee was amazing flavour and actually made to the strength we wanted. We will definitely be back.
Great river cafe spot! Would have loved some more vegan options in the menu to match the location. The veggie green breakfast was very tasty; could have used another piece of toast, it's buried under so much food! Lovely food though, plated well and the atmosphere is great. Coffee was good and well made. A little on the expensive side all up but worth a visit.
Ate here today. Service staff were attentive, fast (even though the place was packed). Chai latte was very hot, perfect for a cold day. Food was exceptionally good. We will definitely be back.
