Such a nice local cafe! Very relaxed area. Loved the food and the coffee. Will definitely be the place I’ll go for breakfast and lunch now!
Such a friendly local cafe, unpretentious, fantastic coffee and service. The food is of high quality and tasty. The decor is simple but comfortable. The location isn't on a main road for a change, making eating outside really pleasant in the warmer months.
Terrific cafe run by lovely warm people. The coffee is excellent and I'm a huge fan of the Bircher Muesli recommended also in these reviews by Split the Bill. One thing I really like -- showing my age here -- is their brilliant choice in music, going back to some classics of the 60s-80s, with a bit of jazz thrown in. Highlty recommended!
Got the smashed avo, added bacon. Very tasty, a generous amount of avocado for the toast and the bacon was cooked perfectly, not too crispy. Also got a hot chocolate which was nice but a bit small for $4.50. Staff were very friendly and easy going.
Nice cozy little place, staff very friendly food very fresh, smoothies even better, went on a very hot day with family had smashed avocado, lazy hash, nuggets and chips for the young one with Green smoothie, Mango smoothie and Chocolate shake.
This is a classic neighbourhood corner cafe serving simple, tasty food, served with a smile. My shakshuka eggs were nestled within a sauce boosted with eggplant and, although it tasted great, the eggs were a bit overdone for my liking. The coffee is really good here and the staff are wonderful, warm and friendly. It’s a local place I’ll be happy to return time and again.
Tasted a few items on the menu- the zucchini fritters, the lazy hash and the bacon and egg muffin. All were delightful! - particularly the zucchini fritters. The coffee here is to die for. The service couldn’t be friendlier and this cafe is particularly kid friendly. A relaxed cafe, in the back streets of Northcote. My toddler loves sitting outside and watching the train go by. Well done, guys!
So good, I've eaten the entire menu at every cafe in Northcote and this is the best by far. Get the Lazy Hash or the lamb stew or the pancakes, you can do no wrong...
I used to live four doors from this site in what was another life. A nice little spot it is too in the backstreets of Westgarth. The previous cafes on the site, Hugo's and Foxy Brown, were a bit up and down in my view. Sometimes good but sometimes a bit ordinary. Things are definitely looking up here. The menu looks much improved. The reports about the place from trusted locals are more positive. I popped in on the weekend but only for a coffee and some vegemite toast. I just wanted to gauge the feel of the place before I came for a meal. The feel is very good. The coffee was great. The seeded toast was excellent. The service was pleasant and upbeat. Time to return very soon.

I come to this cafe frequently and I thought I would add to my previous one. My new favourite dish is my Bircher Muesli, I could eat this day and day out and not get sick of it! I love the drizzle of honey that just gives it the extra touch!
The coffee is superb as always, I have not had a bad one yet and I often hear customers comment that the coffee is the best in the area! I have to say I would agree. My other half always has his scrambled eggs on toast with a side of chorizo. We love the service and once again the food is outstanding! Thanks again guys 👌
I thought it was about time I reviewed my local, South Crescent Cafe, which is a stone throw away from my front door. This local cafe holds memories for me as it was my local milk bar where I used to buy my mixed lollies before it became a cafe.
The cafe has a very relaxed casual feel and the staff always make me feel welcome. I normally stop here for my coffee fix. This morning I actually stopped by with my brother and thought we would have a snack and coffee.
I ordered the Mixed berry muffin and my brother had the Bacon and egg muffin. My mixed berry muffin was warm and had plenty of berry filling in the middle. The egg and bacon muffin was devoured quickly by my brother.
The flat whites were brewed to perfection as they always are and the service was prompt and friendly. Well worth making the trip down to South Crescent cafe for your caffeine fix and/or breakfast/lunch.
I will definitely keep supporting my local!
