There aren’t many brunch/coffee spots in Port Melbourne, so it’s great that Punchbowl Canteen is around! Their food is really well balanced and changes seasonally. Their coffee is pretty good too!

Food is pretty nice! Worth with the price and the quality. I really like the brownie! However, i think its pumpkie brownie. Not really nice for me. Overall, the staff is really friendly as well. Would come back to here again next time.
Friendly staff, very busy so sometimes there is a wait in between service. I had a delicious Poke bowl, highly recommend it and will certainly be back to have again.
A beautifully spacious cafe with funky and colourful walls, and a great outdoor area. They serve up good coffees and also have a nice selection of smoothies (smooth criminal tomboy is a personal fav).
Poke poke poke. I can't get enough of their chicken poke bowl. It's a perfect combination of things that are good for you - rice, beans, avocado, carrots - and not so good things -fried chicken. I feel less guilty eating fried stuff because of this poke bowl.
Make sure you go here!
Not many cafes have the staff and vibe that this place does. It’s attached to a barber shop and the owner greets you the minute you walk in. The barista is super happy and I had a great chat with her.
I got the avocado smash panini and it was epic! Hands down a masterpiece. I also got the health shot (lemon and ginger) which made me appreciate this place even more.
Do your self a favour and visit this awesome bunch.
This cafe is saving the souls of many local workers who don't have much of a variety of choices nearby. The chai latte was delicious and the decor of the cafe is light and colorful. Gets very busy at lunch time so get in early
Food : Scrambled eggs with bacon slab. Rice pudding. Eggs were cooked like a pro, good portion. The bacon slab idea is pretty cool, probably prefer this over the usual thin and oily rasher bacon. The rice pudding was impressive to look at, with strawberries and passion fruit adorning the top. And it was as much enjoyable to eat, as it was to look at.
Ambience: Nice bright airy indoor area, some spots outside in the shade.
Service: All the wait staff are experienced, pretty flawless. What made this a 5/5 in the end was they allowed us to split the bill, not this one bill per table thing which would have been a huge hassle for our group. Thanks guys.

> Red is the new green poke bowl with rice, red quinoa, beetroot, kimchi, pomegranates, pickled egg <
Poke bowls are becoming more and more common at cafes and restaurants, but can you blame it?! Poke bowls are very healthy and extremely filling. The poke bowl is quite basic as it does not have any meat or fish scattered throughout. It is quite a light meal but will keep you energised and full for the entire day. The rice and quinoa mixed with the beetroot is a perfect combination and these flavours really stand out in the meal. the beetroot gives the dish a bright pop of colour and sets the theme for this meal.
> Okonomiyaki fritters with kewpie mayo, bbq sauce, Asian herbs + eggs <
These fritters, OMG, as soon as I saw the ingredients on the menu I instantly gravitated towards them. The fritters were quite thick and large so they were obviously very filling. The texture was clumpy and not mushy. The sweetness of the kewpie mayo and smokiness of the bbq sauce melted perfectly into the fritters and added so much flavour to the overall flavour of this dish. These fritters were probably the best out of all 3 meals that we tried and I would highly recommend trying them if you like fritters!
> Punchbowl Nutella on toast with fresh strawberries <
I was very intrigued by the Nutella and strawberry toast because it is very unusual for a café of this calibre to serve something so basic. However, this dish was far from basic. The Nutella was homemade so it had chunks of hazelnut spread throughout, and the chocolate was thicker than normal Nutella, so both of these spread on the crunchy toast formed a really well made meal. The sweetness of the strawberries made the dish pop and complemented the chocolate spread really nicely.
Great leafy spot with a nice looking menu, our regular go to when you want consistently good quality coffee in port with a great choice in specialty coffee blends...
Just sat down and it's very nice and modern and I just ordered the chocolate milkshake and the burger so let's see how that is.
in the end everything was amazing and tasted great.
Good quality portion of wedges and nice chocolate milk shake.
Stopped off here with a friend on a bike ride.
Good friendly service.
Wait times for food, good.
Outdoor / indoor seating.
A great place to catch up with friends. The noise level did not impede normal conversation. Food was yummy and service brilliant
Had the Hawaian bowl. Fresh Salmon sushimi, Avo,seaweed salad,pickled ginger,rice,wasabi aioli. Absolutely sensational. Will go back just for that dish again. A+
