We came for waffles and were not disappointed.
It was near closing time but they managed to accommodate. One of the best waffles so far. It was very satisfying. Can't comment on the other things but will be back one day to try.
Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. The coffee was great and all the little pastries, donuts, biscuits and danishes are really tasty.
I also ordered the mushroom and cheese crepe and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of cheese and mushrooms! If you like cheese ... this is definitely worth a try!
Benjamin’s crepes and waffles - Albert Park
4
Made the trip to Albert Park for some crepes. ‘Benjamin’s crepes and waffles offered great service and has a nice big outdoor seating area to enjoy crepes and coffee on a nice sunny day.
We ordered the stewed apple crepes with custard and vanilla icecream and the snickers crepes. Both were big portions and super sweet (the snickers crepes was perhaps too sweet with the salted caramel sauce). Will go for the strawberry and Nutella option next time.

Was initially really disappointed to hear this cafe no longer offers a vegan menu (what I came for), but my experience was turned around by the staff's willingness to swap ice cream for vegan gelato, making the meal mostly dairy free.
I tried a cheese and tomato crepe which was by far my favourite thing I ate here, sprinkled with feta and perfectly chewy. For a sweet option, I got the Belgian chocolate with smooth dark choc sauce, strawberries and vegan coconut gelato. The other sweet crepes sounded sickly sweet but this one wasn't too rich.
The restaurant was also willing to make me a chocolate banana milkshake with soy and vegan ice cream instead of dairy. It was thin and not super chocolatey but will had a nice flavour. Anything more probably would have been to much alongside the sweet crepe. Also tried a really nice turmeric latte which comes with soy on default.
I was told the vegan menu was trialled for three months but wasn't getting enough traction to keep up. I would urge the cafe to bring it back but publicise it more. The vegan community in Melbourne is very strong and once people know about a place they're willing to frequent it, but I think they just didn't realise Benjamin's had options.
Everything you would expect from a patisserie. Fresh produce, yummy cakes and great coffee. Albert Park was missing something like this so it's great to now have them in the area.
They have a few other great venues. They have great goods and are always enjoyed. The Nutella doughnuts are some of the tastiest around. Always enjoyed.
Lovely café!!
Asked for dirty chai and they offered loose leaf (delicious!)
Came with a shot of coffee on the side, some cinnamon, some sparkling water
Very flavourful food and kind staff, just popped in and addressed them, very eager and nice to us
Crepes were delicious as well, asked for extras and were incorporated with no issues!
I've been here for lunch a couple times already and intent on coming here again!
Highly recommended 🤗
Lots of Sweet and Savory Options, Great Team, Perfect Crepes, Waffles Are Okay ... Will Totally Come Back for More
Best crépes in Melbourne!! Service even better. Thank you guys!
Savoury and sweet food is just amazing! The Chef did an awesome job with the food he served us. We will definitely go back. I had the best fresh and fluffy waffle ever! The staff are very nice and coffee was good too. Highly recommended !
This place is an absolute gem. Fresh crepes and waffles made to order, savoury and sweet options are both delicious. Mushroom and cheese crepe was fantastic and the lemon and sugar was a lovely tangy and sweet finish.
The coffee! Now here is where I get serious..... 3 different baristas on two separate visits made me a total of 4 cappuccino and they were EXACTLY the same. I haven't seen this kind of consistency in a cafe very often, but when I do, I know I have found my go-to coffee shop!
If you're not hungry, at least stop in for coffee!
An excellent crepery with many options for vegans and those who are gluten intolerant. We ordered the vegan mushroom and cheese crepe as well as the vegan salted caramel crepe which were delicious, well priced and very filling. After making a small mistake with our order the chef was kind enough to give us a chocolate crepe on the house. The atmosphere was particularly great and truly made the restaurant feel like a little slice of France in Albert Park.
If you love crepes and appreciate great service with a smile, then do yourself a favor and visit this amazing crepery. It has a great atmosphere, an awesome selection of food, crepes and waffles and friendly staff that actually enjoy being there. We drove all the way from Reservoir to check it out but it was well worth the drive.
