Lovely cafe with good vibes, great food and friendly staff.
I really loved the coconut porridge generously topped with fruit,yogurt ,nuts ,seeds etc. Fantastic and unique combo.
I also recommend the Egg Benedict . The bacon was so crisp and topped with heaps of mayo.
Besides the savory dishes, I am also loving their sweet roll and almond croissant.So tasty and rich in flavor!
I will definitely come back to try more!

Very lovely cafe. I don’t think there’s another cafe as good as this one in the area so definitely worth coming to have a try if you’re in the area.

Cute cafe right beside the station as the name suggests. Surprisingly large and not unpleasantly decorated with occasional splashed of greenery. Good music playing. Overall, there’s a good relaxed feel here. Quick stop only today as I was time poor. The coffee here was ace. Rich, silky and powerful. Just as I like it. A good tasty reasonably priced egg, cheese and bacon muffin was had as well. Service was friendly and cheerful. On what I saw today, I’m not surprised this cafe is well regarded.

Amazing amazing Cafe, my fiance and I were so impressed.
They were so busy but we went in and found a table and a waiter saw us straight away and took our order.
We had the cheeseburger and the mushroom and haloumi burger, both were seasoned beautifuly and the flavour was brilliant.
The coffee's were really lovely as well.
The highlight was the spiced apple and chocolate muffin. What. A. Muffin. Such a winner.
Highly recommend.

On a rainy day, with a hangover and in desperate need of a feed we came across Station Street Cafe. It was very quiet with basic decor so I wasn't expecting too much! Turns out my expectations were beyond exceeded! Both our meals came out quick, hot, and cooked to perfection! I highly suggest giving this place a shot if you're in the area!

We came into Station Street Cafe just after 9am for a quick bite before heading out for a the day. The place had a relaxed feel to it with a few plants in terrariums in the front window. Other zones down the side and back were decorated with a selection of art and photos that appeared to be for sale. They had a riddle of the day up on the blackboard which was a nice touch. There was also a cake cabinet with some delicious looking slices. There was already a small queue forming for take away coffee so we grabbed a menu and a table and waiting staff soon came to take our drinks order. I ordered a strong coffee which came out pretty acceptable at strong but I think it needed the extra shot I asked for. I also ordered corn fritters with bacon, poached eggs, beetroot chutney and corn salsa. This came out to us in under 5 minutes. The combination of corn and beetroot chutney is something I would definitely try again. Overall the menu wasn't super extensive but had a good mix of sweet and savoury and a couple of healthy options for people other than myself. A well run cafe with responsive staff. Honourable mention to the smallest room which was super clean.

An established spacious outlet conveniently located by a stretch of shophouses on Station St off Springvale Rd with some angled and street side parking. Simple interior urban fit out, the cafe was relaxed and well spaced. They have lounge, communal and table seatings so can cater to different needs.

Needed a place nearby to enjoy my coffee. Moreover, I was surprised that there was a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on my French toast which was very tasty! Price was above average but reasonable for decent servings.

Staff were also efficient, friendly and polite. An easy going place to hangout if you're in the area.

Noted they offer alcohol too!

Long standing cafe in Nunawading ......

It has been challenged by a few contenders, however still the leader of pack in that enclave.

Coffee and Menu is above average.

It's a bit of a drive but I was intrigued by the high reviews so went there for lunch.  Nice casual cafe opposite the station, friendly service and varied menu. I went for the Rueben sandwich which was very tasty and the chips were chunky and cooked very well. The prices are on the premium side but you definitely get the quality that you'd expect. Only complaint was I wish there was another half a kilo of that yummy corned beef but that's just me being greedy. Highly recommended for a nice lunch and I will be back soon to try the other options.

DO: The Rueben with fries and eggs Benny, always a favourite and hits the spot every time.

DON'T: Forget the great coffees to go before and after your meal.

TIP: Gets busy as do most cafes, so be prepared to wait.

I've been here plenty of times as it's one of my locals. Without fail, what brings me back is the eggs benedict. I love my Hollandaise sauce and Station St always nails it and it's always a generous serve. The only thing I can fault is they change the bread quite regularly and the thickness varies quite a bit. The coffee is ok, It's not as good as other cafe's in the area (two brothers, fingers crossed, Hey Mikey, Peddler). The staff are always friendly but at times it can take a while to get served.

This is a regular for my husband and I. They have casual couches that you can sit at and read the paper over a coffee. But sitting down for brunch or lunch is a must. Modern menu with familiar ingredients, created in to innovative dishes. Great cafe!

I made a bit of a mistake ordering the Station Street Rosti. Not because it didn't taste nice, it was actually really nice. It just wasn't filling and I was starving! As I I said though it was a really nice meal and combined some really cool flavours. Cappuccino was pretty spot on too.

Difficult to fault this cafe as it does so much right. What ever I order I make sure I always get a side of hash browns. Golden, crispy and thick the hash browns are a non-negotiable for me.

Been here a handful of times. Food is good, got the big breakfast this time around which was indeed big but hasbrowns and chorizo were a bit bland. Good amount of bacon though.
The place can get a bit loud when busy so be aware if you want a place to chat and catchup if you don't want to get into a shouting contest. Staff are friendly though, a good choice for brunch and lunch (they have their liquor licence too, so a few cheeky beers or wines can be on the agenda as well!)

For the last two years, I have come to this cafe religiously and I absolutely adored it. They have created a menu that really understands everyones preferences with an extensive selection that caters for everyone at a very affordable rate. It's a quiet cafe, that is very casual and clean. The staff are also very attentive, well presented, friendly and most importantly, they always make an effort to make you feel welcomed and they listen when you order. I have visited this cafe more than I'd say 25 times and I have never received a bad or the wrong meal. However, I am really missing their garlic/balsamic tomatoes :(

Is this Melbourne's best steak sandwich? Gourmet perfection! You get a generous piece of quality steak cooked wonderfully and still juicy, with great combination of quality bread (which is important), that great bacon again, mushrooms, tomato, lettuce, a great chutney, an awesome mayo - served with shoestring fries...

Friendly service, nice hot coffee, no wait. However, egg Atlantic had a sinking feeling as was rather small yet the eggs were not free ranges that light yellow colour is a give away. The ham and corn fritters were tasty but on the small side. Overall satisfied but unlikely to return as better in the area towards mitcham

Doing it right!. Been here 3 times now for breakfast and it's always been delicious. Bacon is crispy, tea is good, all the veggies seem fresh, the toast is cut super thick, and the servings are generous. The best thing is that you can read a book and take your time over your breakfast without feeling like they're trying to rush you out the door, like with some of the more inner suburb cafes. Will be back (again and again!)

Two plus baby for breakfast: Very pleasant. Walked in off the street not knowing much and not living in the area.

I had the big breakfast, my wife had the smashed avo+feta. Coffees were very nice, nothing too spectacular but weren't burnt (pet peeve) or bitter at all.

Food was really good. Big breakfast very generous for $20. A lot of Big Breakfasts are oily or covered in butter, but not here. But top marks are reserved for the smashed avo+feta meal. Delicious. It actually had a bit of a spice 'kick' to it. I'm sure if we hated spicy food this would have annoyed us (as it's not mentioned on the menu) but we loved it. Tasty.

Service was prompt and friendly. Baby friendly (although a change table in the toilets wouldn't go astray).

Good, but not great Coffee,.... Good, but not great
Coffee, while nice, needed to be hotter
Orange juice, at $6.50 a glass, was delicious, but pricey
Had the homemade baked beans, & the eggs hollandaise. Again while nice, they were a bit bland, & no butter offered with the toast
While the venue is a bit noisy, service was spot on
Price for four of us was $90

Good atmosphere, easy enough to get a table for Sunday morning brunch. The prices were pretty standard though mine was almost on the small side - I had the scrambled egg with dukkah, avocado and goats curd and added chorizo. I'm glad I added that as I would have still been peckish afterwards! Friends had the Spanish Inquisition which they loved and an egg and bacon focaccia. All in all fresh food, good flavours and pleasant staff.

Went there for lunch. Was hoping they had the breakfast menu as most places offer it all the way through lunch. But I'm glad I chose something from the lunch menu. I ordered the pork belly risotto. It came quite quickly which was a suprise considering it was busy. The pork belly was tender and cooked perfectly and the tartness of the risotto made the pork feel less fatty. Really nice joint and ill be looking forward to coming on a Friday night for the live music and bar.

Good Food - Great Service. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with this place, it was buzzing on Friday night, with some live Jazz, and every table full. Our group of 9 selected 3 servings of 3 different tapas (9 in total) and 2 gourmet Pizza’s. Tapas range from $6 to $10, and the Pizza’s from $11 to $14.

Food wise, everything was top quality. We chose: “Pan fried saganaki Ouzo inferno” (a bit salty, but it always is), “Capponatta bruschetta w warm olives & anchovies” (Fantastic), but the standout was the “Pork and almond Arancini w orange tarragon beurre blanc sauce” (Absolute perfection !!! – The centers were rich and creamy, and the crumbs beautifully toasted with a hint of orange). The Pizza’s were “Braised lamb, red onion, roasted cherry tomatoes, garlic yoghurt” and “Spinach, caramelized onion, roasted pumpkin, pine nuts & feta”, both were fantastic.

The service was great, friendly, accessible, and the young girl on our table seemed to know the wine list well and made a cracker of a recommendation (I wish I could recall what it was, but seeing we had 3 of them, that is not surprising).

Overall it was not too pricy, and we all went away very full and very satisfied.

P.S. If you have a group of 12 to 18 there is a great massive square table at the rear which would be fantastic for large social groups.

I like it!. I finally got round to a Friday night at Station Street.

I went for a tapas selection of smaller plates, all of which i enjoyed. (Although my partner did think it was a little too oily)

Excellent wine selection with some good knowledge and advice from the bar too.

It was a nice setting but it did seem very quiet. There's nothing like this place out east - I really hope the owners can make a success of it.

Love a good Inquisition!. I stumbled on to this place purely by accident when looking for a quick bite and ended up having a long lunch.

Despite it being a particularly busy day with no tables available inside, we managed to find a comfortable table outside in cool weather.

Ended up trying the Spanish Inquisition, because there nothing like a witch burning to satisfy your appetite. It was creative and tasty.

The performance of the staff on the whole was better than I expected.

Excellent lunch. Had lunch here with a colleague and we were both very impressed. i had the steak sandwich and he had the veal scnitzel. my sandwich was a generous portion, well balanced flavours and not just a heap of stuff between two pieces of bread. the bread was also delicious, a lovely soft bread with a chewey crust.
the coffee was also excellent.
pricewise, its maybe not an everyday lunch place but i dont think you will be disappointed with station street cafe.

Nice find in Nunawading. Recently tried it out for coffee. Enjoyed the couches and no-pressure service. Will definitely return and try out the menu. Very conveniently located a few doors from Springvale Rd, opposite Nunawading Station. Wish I had checked it out some time ago, as have long been looking for a different coffee/lunch spot on the weekends (it is open until 3 pm Sunday but kitchen closes a bit earlier). Interested to check out the live music on Friday nights too. Kudos for this, there aren't many places around with live music that aren't pubs.

Coffee & lunch for 4. What a find! After seeing it in four different magazines we had to try this gem out and it was worth it. We stayed there for 2 and a half hours and there was lovely service. Time truely does fly. Atmosphere, location and ambience was good. Coffee was a little bitter to my liking but my chai after was reply smooth and silky. My friends boyfriends iced chocolate was very rich and indulgent. Food is a little bit of a let down. Steak sandwich was average-good, but a suggestion to improve on dips, try naan or pita bread, not toasted sourdough/multigrain. Will definitely come back and recommend.
