What a delightful little cafe. Open on Good Friday. No public holiday surcharge. Smoked salmon salad for less than $20... what more could you want? It helps that my mates were regulars and the service was excellent - even on a public holiday and they were busy as not much else was open. The coffee was fantastic (I had a magic). They were very accommodating of our collective unruly children - we were very happy to get a table out the front, and the kids food came very quickly so they were placated. The egg with soldiers was slightly over done - would have been easier to dip if the eggs were a bit runnier. The Huevos Rancheros had a bit of kick... took a point off because their menu selection could be a bit more varied, and if you wanted a cooked breakfast it adds up quickly as each item was charged separately. Overall, a good little spot. Kids and animal (well, just animals then) friendly. Great service and coffee.
Great place with friendly staff. The food is nice. They have outdoor seating as well. Wonderful for families and friends to relax and chit chat or just be with one another.
I absolutely love North - its definitely one of my favourite cafes! The vibe is light and airy and the staff are always helpful and efficient. My favourite dish is the french toast which they also do gluten free! The coffee is also always well made.
Corn fritters were amazing! Am not from here but would definitely come back to enjoy them again. Staff were friendly and efficient. Staff were able to joke with us and recommend items on the menu
Enjoyed, wasn't aware there was an outside back part though. Coffee was good, Porridge was good, corn fritters were better. Lax vibe on the inside
North Cafeteria is my faithful breakfast companion.
The best poached eggs in Carlton North, and great service!
Definitely worth a visit!!!
Enjoyed the toasted olive bread (with avocado) was delicious. I would come more often but the lack of card facilities is so annoying. Come on guys!
This place is local to where I live. I like the layout, staff are friendly food is interesting, they have put effort into their menu, and they do coffee well. A super place to go and relax or meet up with a friend.
Cute place, buzzing vibe, lovely staff and good coffee! I'm a big fan of the menu which has plenty of variety and a good mix of healthy choices and pure deliciousness (the tuna melt was divine).
However, I really don't like that they don't take card payments. Considering smaller, less busy places are able to provide that convenience, not sure why these guys make you trek to an ATM and get charged an unnecessary withdrawal fee, walk back, pay, etc. An unnecessary inconvenience to the customer I think, and for what gain?
Solid, tasty, nicely presented. Corn fritters were a trifle dry, but topped with succulent bacon and accompanied by a lovely relish. Nice, airy, light space.
Lazy Sunday and those white Swedish tub swivel chairs ...

Friendly staff & great coffee & cake selection. Outdoor seating in Rathdowne Street great place to chill.
Lovely local cafe, good food, friendly staff, and great coffee
5 stars for fast service from the guys and girls working here. Food always good and if you can work out the not so busy times it can be quite relaxing. The only thing is the OJ might be better with a bit less pulp in it 🙂
The sort of local cafe we all want to have near us. Friendly staff who make you feel welcome no matter if you're a local, or a visitor. Great coffee and sweet treats. Breakfast is also available.
