I had lunch today, the food was really nice and service was awesome. I will definitely come back again. Manager was really good to me . I also ordered the lemon cheesecake, tasted great.
Very delicious. Like it. I think this restaurant is under-rated. My boyfriend and I ordered Chicken carbonara and Saffron Rissoto. Both were tasty and the prawns are very fresh.
I can't believe that there's so much negative comments on this place. Seems like they're trying to kick out this place off degraves coz it's not as shiny and well maintained. Rarely do I get a perfectly cooked calamari, and that's what I got from them! They make the perfect bruschetta, ohh that vinigarette they have to make for 3days.. Really recommend the food and coffee from here

SCREW THE CRITICS :)
First of all I want to say how disgusted I am by the three reviews I just read. I'm 99% sure they are fake and probably written by people who work for other cafes. I went to Xpressomondo today and had a Beef Ragu for lunch and it was BLOODY GOOD... let me say that again BLOODY GOOD. But since I'm supposed to be professional here let me describe it a little better. Beef very well cooked, nice hearty sauce that warms you up on a cold day and very tasty and earthy vibe to it. Good pasta with it and I do love me a good pasta dish now and then.ย
Service was nothing like these other three whiners would have you believe, they were very nice, cordial and professional. As for the seating yes it is a little close together but so is the whole bloody street on DeGraves Street and I should know by now... after all I've eaten at almost every food place it has to offer. Unlike these three 'critics' I also have photos to back up my claims about the excellence of the food. Good ones but see for yourself.
And the moral of the story is this when it comes to good food, screw the critics... listen to your gut. :)
Yum! Love my coffee and Egg Benedict with a touch of critters! I think of it as a flavour enhancer that provide a healthier option with protein than MSG.
Friendly service and the food was awesome. Bit light on quantity but not lacking in quality. Highly recommend you have a feed here. We are from Adelaide and we need eateries like this at home. Lucky Melbourneians.

I visited xpressomomdo on holidays travelling from Perth.
On my last day of my trip.
I felt inclined to write a review after the amazing experience I Had at this establishment.
There is a good welcoming vibe. Lots of cafe and bars open along the strip. A beautiful place to be and feel grounded.
The service is what caught me. as soon as I mentioned I loved food, she instantly became happy, Worthy of a little extra thought into my meal and review.
The meal was presented beautifully. I asked for "a juicy rare piece of porter house. The juicer the better." And they provided! When I say I want a rare, 7/10 times they will give me a medium well steak, slight pinkage, pretty average. I never see cracked pepper at restaurants! (I've been going to the WRONG restaurants!) the steak was tender and juicy. A little bit fatty, but I like that. It was cooked perfectly. I wish it melted a little more, maybe next time put it on a high temp for a few seconds and crisp up that fatty bit. Then you'd be a 5 star. They served it on a bed of mashed potato with garden salad placed decoratively on top, a splash of balsamic - just right. Cracked pepper. Voila.
Her instant reaction made this whole experience worth while. She respected my appreciation for food.
The portion, a true Australian sized portion, which for me is a little too much, but my boyfriend would clip me along the ears if I made that complaint. Honestly, the portion is perfect for an every day- normal appetite.
Thank you for this interesting and valuable experience.
I will remember this.
Was only here for coffee. Wanted that whole Degraves st thing. Expectations up and was a little deflated by my long black. Lovely area. I sat in the lane way which was busy and noisy, but that's expected! If it had been in the burbs you'd not accept it but here it just adds to the wow.

Service was fantastic and food great. Business lunch yesterday and will be back. Great coffee. Great service is free and so worth it. A place to visit
Discovered this spot wouldn't listen to any negative reviews coffee was sensational as was the food,highly recommend the corn fritters stack๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
Walked in off the street and was greeted by a very friendly English server. Impressed by the service, I decided to eat here.
I must say it was better than the reviews had me expecting. Got the Thai beef salad and the ratio of beef to salad was very good. Meat was not bad at all but the salad tasted store purchased. I didn't mind though as it was drowned in good olive oil and balsamic (my two great loves).
Serving speed was exemplary as it would have been lucky to have been 5 mins from ordering to it being in front of me (was perfectly cooked as well). Serving size was great. If you're used to Melbourne level food you might be disappointed but I found this enjoyable.
Loses a point for a combination of the price, salad and the pokey table set up inside. Otherwise, on the service, quality and wait time would recommend!
Perfect brekky for hangover!! We rolled up here after a big night and the service was great!! The Big Brekky- bacon, eggs, mushies, chorizo, u name it it was on there- couldn't eat it all but had a killer chocolate milkshake to boot!! There are so many places on Degraves St and I'm glad we tried this! ๐๐
Thanks to Xpressomundo I had a great birthday dinner :) Fantastic real meat pizza. Awesome chicken Caesar salad. Wonderful Risoto and Great coffee :) definitely recommend it and will return!
Great brunch spot!. I'm not sure what everyone else's problem is on here, but we love this spot. We've never had dinner there, so maybe that's what everyone is complaining about, but their breakfast is great! We've had their large breakfast meals, as well as their poached eggs on toast and it's delicious. Their coffee is also fantastic (and yes, I've had coffee at many other cafes throughout Melbourne). I'd give their brekkie a go and see what you think! The space is a bit small, but it is Degraves after all.
Had the seafood pasta! It was really good! The staff are very friendly!
Was here for a quick brunch today and loved it totally! Ordered a Mocha which was really good! Also tried their veggie breakfast & loved the baked beans!! Garlic bread was yummy too!
Checked out this little cafe and grabbed the lamb shank and a small cappuccino. The lamb were fresh and delicious. The coffee was pretty decent too. Would come back.
Lucky I parked my car back in Dandenong, I always enjoy good food with beer or wine.
The place is very close to the station and the ambiance is very nice. Food is great and they had a surprisingly big menu to satisfy your hunger.
Checked out this little cafe and grabbed the mixed berry pancakes and a small flat white. The pancakes were light and fluffy, the berries were fresh and the ice cream was quite creamy which added to the experience. The coffee was pretty decent too. Would come back.
The food was amazing. Came here on a hot day and their iced tea was REFRESHING. John made sure that our food was spicy just as we asked. He is very friendly and made sure we were happy with our meals.
We stumbled across this place while walking through the city and it didn't disappoint. The coffees were delicious but could have been a little warmer. The eggs bene was just ok. The big breakfast was good and all reasonably priced
This is my second time in Xpressomondo and the manager of this cafe is super nice and kind! I really like the Earl Grey tea from this cafe as well as his secret menu, hot chips. This is located in Degraves st and the view & atmosphere are very cool, I love it.
Have been here before for lunch but didnโt realize breakfast is amazing. French toast is good and arvo brekkie is my fav. Always a busy place, make sure to get your coffees extra hot.
Overall, good experience
