I really do love this place. They make a great coffee, promote local business, encourage sustainability and are so friendly and relaxed. They let me stay for literally hours (thesis writing) and don't hassle me at all, just make sure my caffiene levels are adequate. Their food is always great and has a real home made feel. I love their breakfast menu, the butternut milk waffles are gorgeous. Their sweets are also all home made and delicious :)
Thanks guys. Good job. I shall aknowledge you in my thesis

Great range of good fresh food. Nice friendly service. They have a nice new coffee machine but the coffee can vary depending on who's making it. Relaxing place to sit and grab a meal. Great selection of gift and homewares.

The food is always at a very high standard and with the addition of a new coffee machine- I would rate this the best coffee in Northcote!

Cute brunch spot. Cute indoor and outdoor decor with novelty household items (clocks, picture frames furniture etc.) all along the walls (you can buy them but they're antique-shop-prices). Every dish I've had has been delicious and well prepared, but around $2 more than what I would like to pay for it based on the quantity. Staff are hit and miss, but I cut them some slack since they're probably hungover on a saturday/sunday morning. Been here a few times and will keep coming back occasionally.

Great little spot. I recently visited for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised at the cosy vibe and cute little gifts that decorate the shop. The breakfast menu featured all your usual morning treats - hotcakes, eggs benny etc. The food and coffee were delicious, with the service from the friendly staff equally as good. Great place if you are over the pretentious nature of other nearby High st cafes. I will definitely pop back in here! Nice work guys!

Glad to have it as the local. Being just down the road, this place is great, especially after a night shift when you just want some decent food, a good selection of hot/cold, sweet/savoury, and a vibe that's home-like but the where staff aren't too intrusive. Although if you're 100% awake, the wait staff may seem more interested in each other than in their patrons. The coffee has always been good. I particularly like their fruit loaf and other desserts.

One of my favorite cafés! The coffee is creamy and delicious. I've had the Asian pork belly dish and the pork tacos with fennel and chilli and they were both delicious. Decent portion sizes and value for money too. My partner has had the corn fritters and the Reuben sandwich (this was a special today). Again, both excellent. Service is efficient and friendly. Certainly haven't experienced the poor service that other people have mentioned. Also like that they use organic/free range products. Quirky little shop in the cafe and a gorgeous little nursery across the road. Love it.

Satisfied. Came here with a deals.com.au voucher. All was good. Coffee was excellent, got the big breakfast which didn't look so big but actually was and included the right amount of each thing. Staff were friendly and prompt, food came out quickly. What more can you ask for when you're hungover - thanks for a good experience!

Lovely food. Came in with a scoopon. Had the haloumi with chorizo on sourdough w/ hollandaise - flavours were beautiful and much more complex than I've had at other brunch places. Partner had the steak sandwich and the Turkish bread and steak were really easy to bite through. Flavours amazing again. We had coffee and juice which werent the best but i would still highly recommend this place.

Taken Aptes place as my fave cafe. I used to love to go to Apte in Alphington, but now I have found somewhere better. Beautiful food served with style, great ambience, friendly staff. A very chilled place.

An interesting little place, interior reminds me of a country town patchwork shop (not a bad thing).

Lovely staff, not too shabby coffee and amazing 'hot cakes'.

Overall a pretty good little place for a chat over coffee.

Great Coffee. Dropped in to grab a coffee and was surprised how good it was.
I decide to return to see if the food lived up to the coffee and it was also amazing.
I had the lamb salad and not only did it look great it was very tasty.
Well worth the trip and I will be back

Top Quality food cooked and presented beautifully. We went to this cafe for the first time this week and were very impressed. It is very spacious and there is a great atmosphere. I felt very relaxed there. The chef knows how to cook and obviously is very experienced as the food was just perfectly cooked and the presentation was done with finesse. The menu is varied and had many of my fave foods. It is not your normal run of the mill cafe menu, the dishes are of very high quality. None of the food is reheated or microwaved, so it is important to realise that ever dish is freshly prepared so no shortcuts are taken. I am so looking forward to returning there. The coffee was fantastic and the hummingbird cake the best ever.

A local gem. Tea in a tea pot. Thanks. The big brekkie and the roasted mushrooms with goats cheese are my new breakfast favorites. Service is informal but attentive. I hope you stick around for a long time. Thanks for a number of great breakfasts.

Amazing breakfast menu; everything I've had so far I've enjoyed. My fave is probably the Veggie Big Breakfast. Fantastic array of art available for purchase as well. Will keep coming back&trying everything on the menu :)

Look Twice you might miss the outside. Forget about décor, the little extras they sell(all a bonus of course).
Relax ,unwind on a week end, buy yourself a hardy breakfast from the menu, order a coffee or two(always perfect) and let the senses and taste buds take over.
I will be very surprised if one is not happy when they leave; You can even go across at the Northcote pottery for more surprises....
Even the smiling waitress, charismatic, soft talking lady ,patient and courteous serving at the back room.
One thing, be prepared to wait a little after your order because here they actually cook the ingredients, no micro wave short cut/s here.
Twice now and always happy. Well done to all the staff.

Quaint and Cute. Over the Road is quaint and cosy kind of like walking into grandma's house for tea. The shelves are abundant with tea/coffee related equipment and cups for sale which add to the relaxed mood of the place. Went midday, midweek and there were only one or two locals at the café. Most of the menu options are vegetarian and after I went I understood that's probably what they do best. I was on a Cudo voucher ($19 for 2 people -inc one menu item and one drink) and I ordered a steak sandwich and mango smoothie. While the relish and bacon was delicious and plentiful the 'steak' as very thin, like a minute steak and terribly overcooked. The smoothie however was refreshing and had a very fresh mango flavor. I saw other people having baked eggs and frittatas and while that is not what I'd usually order, their food certainly looked more appealing than the non-veg options. Would probably come back without a voucher to try out some of their other offerings. It is a very quiet café to read or catch up with friends!

Good find. Have driven past this (very ugly) building heaps of time and wouldn't have realised it was a cafe if not for a voucher deal. Inside SO opposite the ugly outside. Food was good but not spectacular, coffee was good. Overall experience good.

Fabulous..... This is a fabulous place! Apart from great coffee and really friendly staff, the space is full of interesting and unusual home and living type giftie things.

I had a lovely browse and managed to find a birthday present for a friend and a couple of treasures for myself.

I didn't eat this time, but the food I did see looked delicious! Definitely a plan to return for brunch one weekend.

Went here and while ago and when was in the area went back. I personally didn't have a full lunch (just tea and cakes) but based no the look of the items other people were eating it is recommended all the same. Parking up the street and handy for a stop one the way to/from Dennis train station. Some outside seating with shade.
