Cozy cafe located in Oakleigh with solid coffee vibes and brunch scene. Service was excellent and so was the coffee and meals. We has mocha and strong almond latte which was perfect to our liking. For the food, we had their newly launch summer menu - buttermilk hotcake with blueberry lavender ice cream and seasonal fruits and crumbs and vegan double patty burger with side of chips and ketchup. We love the hotcake as it has right amount of sweetness and not dry. The ice cream brought the dish up to another level. The vegan patty in our burger was delicious and unique in taste. Well done team at Cote Terra
Cold drip was my favourite . It's sooooo smooth and bit sour. Perfect match with veghie burger. The octopus was just waaaay too chewy took so long to actually have a bite
Cute place in Oakleigh with friendly staff and pretty good coffee. The menu is also pretty comprehensive. I had, and really liked, the roast mushrooms. Such a great local haunt - I'll be coming back.
Cosy little nook of a set up with close seating. The moody dim decor appeals to me. Great coffee and very cool team. The menu offers a reasonable tasty variety but the standout for me is still their coffee.
One of the trendiest breakfast joints in Oakleigh! Great atmosphere, yummy meals, but the service can tend to get a bit slow and sloppy during busier times, although the staff are still very friendly! The strong seafood emphasis of the menu is well put together and unique, but also not the most accommodating for vegetarians or anyone looking for a more traditional breakfast. Overall would definitely recommend giving it a try!
lovely place with a cozy atmosphere. food took rather long to come out (we went on a Wednesday at an odd timing - 330pm). coffee was fantastic. hotcake was on the dry side but other than that, it was great taste wise. eggs benny with the pulled pork was delicious. would definitely here once a week if I lived nearer!!
The staff were friendly and we enjoyed our meal & coffee!!
We had the churros french toast & egg benedict which was super yummy! Enjoyed the orange choco mascorpone which was on the side of the french toast! And presentation was neaaaat! 👍🏻 would definitely recommend and head back there to trh the rest of the food n coffee!!
The experience starts before entering, fantastic looking exterior. Service was on point, and they were heaving. Food was spectacular, not the standard hum drum. A definite starter when in Oakleigh.
The smashed avocado is always a crowd pleaser at Cote Terra. Amazing service and a huge serving size (thats what we want 🙌🏻). This a great little cafe in Oakleigh.

RATED Rated 3.75 but rounded to 4 for the purposes of Zomato.
I recently moved into a new area and it’s time to try out the local brunch spots! First up is Cote Terra - a Mediterranean brunch spot right near Oakleigh Station with great coffee and a smashing menu to boot. First up, this little spot have so much character! I’m right now loving the lived in cafe look and this has definitely got it and a good community vibe a good mix in the crowd. It also seems to be a hit with the locals as it was very busy and very loud. I’m not sure about bookings but there were a lot of groups so might be a good one if you have quite a few people at brunch.
I’ve tried their coffee and chai latte at the Southbank location and they were good so I recommended their Soy Chai Latte, $6 to J. He enjoyed it very much. (When we left, we ordered two soy chai latte for takeaway – drink up!). I ordered their beans that had the biscuit taste. I could definitely taste the biscuit/nutty aromas in the coffee. I enjoyed it very much. And not often do I see latte art for soy milk. So kudos to them for making a latte art on soy!
For myself, I ordered the Chilli scrambled eggs, served on sourdough with tempura okra, fermented radish and mustard leaf. A vegetarian dish that I don’t usually order… but i loved it! The tempura okra was lightly deep fried, the okra gave the crunch element to the dish, whilst everything else had a softer texture in every bite...
Overall, I enjoyed my visit at Cote Terra, their drinks are definitely what brings me to visit again. Even though their drinks are at an above average price...
Amazing, my favourite cafe in Melbourne maybe! Went with my special someone and had the duck special and king prawn pasta. Pasta was perfect and well seasoned and duck was really fragrant and tender. 100% recommend to anyone in the SouthEast. 🤙🏽😍
The best brunch shop in Oakleigh! good quality coffee with reasonable price. I had fried chicken mashed avocado burger with chips and its so yummy( i never be a big fan or burger before), the chicken is amazing, very tender, very juicy but still crispy. My friend also ordered satee mushroom, poached eggs with fried polenta and its really good! Staff are nice and friendly,its a very nice place to chill with friends and family

First time we have been and heard of this place and was impressed with the interesting menu which all sounded delicious! The coffee was on point as well as customer service. Would definetly visit again. The photo is of the tentaticle toast!
I heared from this place for a long time. I had a great Gesha Filter in Cote Terra which was 16$ but worth it! Another 3/4 latte was so so. But staffs are friendly. Happy to come back for brunch.
Awesome brunch menu and very friendly and attentive staff. I ordered the smoky eggs Benny and it was sooo good. It was a nice warm day so sitting outside in the courtyard was perfect. I would highly recommend it. Thank you CoteTerra i will be back😊
Had the cauliflower fritters, Brussel sprouts and beetroot hummus dish and made it vegan by swapping fetta for cashew cheese. It was fantastic! Loved the flavours and it was done really well! Nice menu. Do check out.
Great brunch place in Oakleigh that also serves a great variety of good coffee. Definitely the better coffee around town and also the place to go if good coffee is more important than a great meal.
Having said that, the food here is also great. The flavours are on point, portions are generous and the price is also very reasonable.
The staff are always cheery and happy which is always a plus in my books.
Lovely place for breakfast, lunch or anything in between (aka BRUNCH 😍). We were seated outside, but it wasn't as bad as we anticipated b/c it was heated and actually quite warm. The wait staff were very friendly, and although the food took a little while to come (around half an hour) the wait was worth it as the food was delicious. I had a special menu item, a beef brisket burger which came with two poached eggs and two hash browns in a brioche bun with chips and sriracha aioli sauce. We also ordered some sweet potato and chorizo fritters, and a mushroom with pesto sandwich, and all dishes were delicious and very filling. Coffee is also great, like the soy cappuccino and chai latte. Would highly recommend to all, especially the outdoor seating on a non-rainy day.
(Note: the menu on zomato isn't the most recent)
I'm sorry that I only just found out about this place (thanks to my bro, who's a local), because it's a gem! Top service, interesting menu, reasonable prices and high quality food! I ordered the smokey Eggs Benedict (which comes served with a glass lid, opened at your table to unleash a little bit of smoke, which is pretty cool), which was great (runny eggs, crunchy hash brown being the stars, although I wish the hollandaise had a little more zip), but I also got to try the Nutella pancakes which were delicious - light and fluffy, covered in fairy floss. I liked the range of coffee available, especially the filter and pour over options. It might sound like a 'duh' thing to say, but I really enjoyed being here - and I can't say that I always feel like that. I'll definitely be back to try some more of that menu!
Great food, quick service and amazing coffee. Only issue is there’s not much indoor seating so had to sit in the courtyard. Felt like we were a bit of an afterthought but didn’t detract too much from the experience.

A great local cafe in the heart of Oakleigh that is always bustling with bright and cheery staff. We have been here many times and it's always fabulous. The menu has many flavoursome staples with some things that change. One thing that stood out to us this time was the Durian french toast with durian custard and coconut meringue. But we thought we would save our fellow diners from the durian smell and instead opted for the Super salad with smoked salmon and the Steak and eggs.
The Steak and Eggs is the perfect dish for someone looking for a high protein meal (if you off-load the layer of potatoes to your dining partner like my husband did). The steak was cooked to perfection and the fried eggs were a perfect partner. The potato hash was presented as small triangles of well cooked potatoes full of flavour with a few chips of potato crips for another textural element. Although not a traditional potato hash, it was delicious and paired well with the steak.
The Super salad was a dish that was light, healthy but full of flavour and very filling. The chilli lime vinaigrette gave the salad a punchy flavour which was offset by the sweetness of the charred corn. The gruyere added richness to the dish and the quinoa soaked up all of this flavour. The smoked salmon was cooked to perfection and the portion size is perfect for this dish. This dish truly makes makes your tastebuds sing with each mouthful and leaves you comfortably full afterwards.
The coffee is always superb, the food delicious and the staff dynamic. We are very lucky to have this as one of our local haunts and we can't wait to come back and eat another amazing meal at Cote Terra.

Steak and eggs for brunch, what a great idea! And presented so beautifully too. This was my second time trying the steak and eggs and they have changed the presentation and refined the dish. The steak was flavourful (it was well done but I would have preferred it slightly pink in the middle) and everything else that came with the dish was delicious. We also ordered the seared scallops and softshell crab omelette. The seared scallops were perfectly cooked and translucent in the middle and nicely seared and seasoned on the outside. The omelette was beautiful and creamy and the sauce was delicious. The only letdown of that dish was the crab. It was coated in a batter that tasted quite floury and was also overcooked so it dried out and had a unpleasant charred taste to it. I would suggest using tempura batter in future. Otherwise it was a delicious meal. It gets a little crowded during the weekends and you are sitting much closer to the next table than you like but it is worth it for the food.
A very lovely cafe with friendly staff. Been here a few times for brunch with both good and average experiences.
I would reccomend the Smokey Egg Benedict as it was delicious with a fun and unique food presentation. The Fried Corn Bread was flavoursome but I found the consistency of the bread to be quite dry.
Truffled mushrooms, amazing!
Smokey egg Benny, fancy!
Heirloom coffee, surprising!
What a little gem that makes us want to move to oakleigh.

Just on the outskirts of Oakleigh Village, you’ll find Cote Terra, a cafe and coffee roaster that brings some non-Greek options to the food offerings there.
Brunch gem of Oakleigh. Trendy and very dumpster chic ambience. Coffee specialist. Tried the Smokey eggs benny which was quite decent. Good variety of coffee.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Was keen to try this hidden gem in Oakleigh near Chadstone for some time, and decided to head over there as a destination to catch up with one of my best friends. We were very lucky to collab with Cote Terra as well.
Food: The flavours of the food here are very unique and make the menu stand out from other places I've visited. They put a lovely twist on every classic dish. As a waffle lover, I couldn't resist from trying the terra waffles. Belgian waffles, with chocolate soil and raspberry sorbet! Count me in! The Belgian waffles were not overly sweet or rich like waffles I've previously had, and the raspberry sorbet added a lovely fruity element, sweetness and tang that went perfectly with the waffles. I am also a soft shell crab fanatic, the soft shell crab and eggs had been on my mind before even deciding what else to order. Surrounding the squid ink bun were an array of lentils, spices, herbs that were unknown to us, each had interesting textures and flavours, however it was a bit tooo spicy for our liking and some of the lentils tasted a bit raw (we're not sure if that's how they're meant to taste...) The soft shell crab tasted delicious with the scrambled eggs, however were a tad dry. Still enjoyed nonetheless. The last dish we ordered were the cauliflower and Brussel sprouts. The cauliflower was the highlight of the dish, the flavour and texture resembled popcorn chicken and was scrumptious! While my brunch companion liked the garlic sautéed Brussel sprouts, I felt that the Brussel sprouts were slightly undercooked and the flavour wasn't really to my liking. All in all, the presentation of the dishes were lovely, the flavours were quite unique and we would be keen to come back and try other dishes!
Service: As we had placed a reservation in advance, we were expected and were greeted with a warm smile and a table for us. The waiters were all very welcoming. The only complaint was that the food arrived quite a substantial amount of time after we ordered, perhaps half an hour or longer. Many customers who came in after us had their dishes arrive before us. We assumed that because we had three dishes and all of them required some cooking element that that was why ours didn't arrive earlier, however some customers who ordered the same dishes had theirs arrive before ours.
Ambience: On a weekday, the café isn't packed to the brim, however there were a reasonable number of customers popping in and out. The background music was the ideal volume so we didn't have to yell over each other or feel awkward to talk. The interior décor in the café is very nice, and there is seating outside where you can enjoy the sunshine.
We would visit again hoping to try some of their smoothies and other drinks and food. I'm sure there will be improvements to both wait time and food!
Of all the things we ordered, we decided to order burgers and chips 😂. We just couldn’t resist the lunch specials 😂😂. The burgers and chips were nice though! Hopefully next time if we get a chance to go there again, we try a brunch dish because it looked pretty good from other reviews !
Randomly tried brunch spot near chadstone shopping centre area. Luckily found this hidden gem!
Smokey egg benedict was simply delicious! The pork pulled meat was so tender and perfectly seasoned,well balanced with the sauce. The egg pouched was perfectly cooked and the vegetables was so fresh.
Celeriac Fritters (old menu) was served with house smoked salmon, pickled fennel, dill aioli and poached eggs. The fritters themselves were somewhat good and seasoned well,eaten together with the runny egg yolk and the dill aioli, which was super delish! But that wow me was undoubtedly the house smoked salmon which was absolutely amazing!
Soy Chai latte was suprisingly good!It taste authentic.not your typical powdered chai latte. The best!
Overall, the place and the ambience was very nice and very positives. The staffs was very friendly and they served me very well. I will come back for sure!

We enjoyed a midweek treat in Oakleigh. The pick of the dishes was the Steak & Eggs which consisted of an 18 hour sous-vide tri-tip steak, fried eggs, chat potatoes, confit spanish onions, bacon and chili jam. If you live close to Oakleigh, this place is worth trying.
Such a nice little place to eat breakfast. Food was really great and I like that it's away from the busy and crowded Eaton mall in Oakleigh. Coffee was really good as well.
what a pregnant experience
pleasant*
Good food, great vibes, what a vibrant establishment. My eggs looked like testicles; perfect. Wouldn't have then any other way 😍
The food was fantastic, we've been here multiple times and they're seriously a hidden gem. We couldn't find any fault there other than the price which did end up being a little steep. $30 for a crab omelette?! Overall, really good experience tho.
I was so surprised by this little hidden gem! The quality of the food was beyond my expectations. In an area with so many cafes I would never have thought to have come here.. now I regret not coming earlier!
The best coffee I have ever had in my life, and the food was just to die for honestly go here
🍴🦀🍔 Lunch Time at Cote Terra | MELBOURNE and we would love to recommend you this fantastic Soft Shell Crab & Egg burger! 🍳🦀💕🍔🍴
Perfect ingredients on the plate: crispy soft shell Crab, folded eggs, crab meat chilli jam, crunchy salad, coconut jelly, fish roe served on a squid in bun!😋🍴
Totally tasty!🙌

In Hospitality, consistency is key to your success. This is absolutely where Cote Terra exceeds regular expectation. Between my partner and I, we’ve had half a dozen visits in the past 12 months, and every single time we have been given friendly staff, efficient service and great food. Their coffee passion is truly reflected in their quality and flavour, and the cozy and obscure decor is great as well. Will regularly return!
Edit: been back since this review a few time, and really, please try Cote Terra. Great specials and the staff are even better. Shout out to Maddy who is an absolute gem!
(Should be) 6/5
Stopped by for lunch with a friend and I got the pulled pork shoulder on a black bun, served with chips. Very tasty! I also got a take away apricot tart, which was divine! Really cute little cafe, lovely interior with friendly staff. The the only thing that I found difficult was finding parking, but other than that I would highly recommend!
Went here on a rainy day and my girl friend and I had the eggs Benedict! Delicious. I also got hash browns on the side. Coffee was really good too.
Bit out of the way for me but I’ll definitely visit when I’m around the area 😊
got the cheeseburger and smoked eggs benedict. 1. cheeseburger, 240g total beef, nicely cooked, tasty. very simple burger, pickles were deep fried which was weird but it worked well, and provided a refreshing acidity in the burger which was quite heavy. chips were fine, sauce (mayo?) was v good. eggs benny smoke was more for show than anything but nevertheless entertaining. eggs cooked nice, pea mash and all other aspects were great. coffees were very good, in my top 3.
Lovely little cafe with an outdoor area which has a bit more room for the pram and kids. Great, friendly customer service that is warm and genuine. The food and drinks came out really quickly and was hot and tasty. The coffee has a range of beans for you to choose from. I loved my choice of roast and the coffee was also made very well. You can tell they pride themselves on their attention to their coffees. I loved my softshell crab omelette with spicy chilli jam. Juicy and fresh it was delicious! It doesn't look tre fancy but tasted delicious. I'm told the burger was good too but nothing very out of the ordinary. Might be a dollar or two more than what we normally spend at a cafe for our meals but nothing that breaks the budget. All in all a very happy customer.
Had Sidamo Natural ESP, Home blend ESP and FW here. They have the high standard and stable presentation of different coffees. Highly recommend to who lives here or comes around this area.
I have been to this funky little cafe twice now and not ever been disappointed with the food, wine and beer and general vibe, and very cool decor. We had the pulled pork shoulder, which was tender, juicy and fragrant; the southern fried chicken wings are deliciously tasty, and not dry, or oily; then the Super Salad was a real winner with me, an occasional vegetarian. Full of super -greens and grains and a piquant dressing. you might be lucky enough to get live entertainment on the weekend too. I want all my friends to come there for lunch!
Love this place. Came in for dinner on the weekend, burgers were to die for. Could barely get through my cheeseburger and chips, it was so filling! The service is amazing, great staff, great music! Will definitely be back.
Good vibes, warm and cosy.
TimTam ate the classic smashed avo with an add on of Bacon. Can’t go wrong with this, it was done well. Serving size was good and the dish was tasty.
Serving size was good, and service was attentive and friendly for the most part. However, unfortunately this wasn’t across the board. However, most staff members were friendly, smiled and created the service experience that would be expected from a place of this reputation.
Would recommend if heading to the Oakleigh area and if you’re trying to find something other than Souvlaki’s!
Food: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Atmosphere: 4.5/5
We ordered a cheeseburger which had a double patty. The two patties were half the size of the bun. This kind defeats the idea of a double patty. Just use the same amount of meat and make a single patty to cover the bun. Deep fried pickles were great, I had not tried that before. Fries were fresh and crisp, loved the dipping sauce
Popular cafe off the main strip of Oakleigh. Popular for it’s coffee but we went for juices as it was hot outside. The Açai Berry Smoothie and Mask Juice were both refreshing and delicious. Sauerkraut was tasty in the Rueben Sandwich, while the Salt & Pepper Squid Burger could have done with more squid and less crumb. Overall a tasty lunch and would definitely come again.
Points for: specialty artisan coffee house
Cote Terra is an awesome find tucked away from the loud strip of restaurants in Oakleigh.
That doesn’t mean that it’s quiet, as the café is quite popular and rightly so.
Their focus on coffee is prominent once you enter, and the interior design is rustic and eclectic, with bits and bobs tucked in every corner.
My strong skinny latte was a welcome hit after a Sat night drinking – taste like a medium-dark roast, chocolate, slight bitterness, honey notes come through, but is well rounded.
The menu has a good variety and is just what you want on a lazy weekend.
The breakfast burger in the display is surprisingly good, as they warm it up but the egg is still soft.
It’s one of the better cafes in the area, and they also do smokehouse dinners Fri/Sat nights.
Though Cote Terra is known for its cafe and coffee, this review is for the Fri and Sat smokehouse. I loved the idea. Caught with a friend and suggested to head to Cote Terra. The food is excellent and it is a fair amount of it. We ordered the meat platter which comes with all the meat trimmings as well as pita bread, chips and coleslaw. Happy hours for drinks, nice but small selection for drinks.
The atmosphere was great; cosy and warm. The service was attentive and wonderfully friendly. Definitely worth while checking it out again.
Edit:
Back for lunch this time. The food is excellent with a variety of selections, all are tempting. The pour over coffee was the beautiful. The service is excellent and very attentive as usual.
(BTW photos were taken by a friend,thanks Nam.)
Came for lunch with family on the weekend. Big coffee menu, with lots of different coffee beans to choose from, they also do cold drip which no other place is oakleigh does. Ordered a long black, and the corn, haloumi and zucchini fritters.. they were nice and crispy and the inside was really fluffy and had nice spices.. it came with a side of manuka smoked trout and poached eggs, which came out a little over cooked and not soft inside but the dish overall was pretty tasty. Will probably come back to try some more menu items and maybe sit outside next time in the shaded courtyard.

We called into Cote Terra for a Sunday brunch after a big night so both of us were starving. Cote Terra is a cute little cafe located a little off the main restaurant strip in Oakleigh. The place was a buzz when we arrived but fortunately some folk were just leaving so we were squeezed on a small table.
Coffees were offered and fourthcoming and there was a good clear contrast between the strong latte and regular. Coffee was actually very good here and they appear to have a range of beans if you drink by opt for the house blend. The menu had some fairly traditional brunch items as well as some interesting. Both of us were tempted by the black Forrest French toast option but in the end both decided in savoury. I opted for the smokey ham eggs benedict which came sans toast (it sat of a delicious and sizeable croquettes), while Kelisi opted for a basic eggs on toast breakfast with a side of Maccas hash browns.
Both breakfasts presented well, Kelisi in pairs of toast, eggs and hash while my smokey dish came to the table in a glass cloche filled with smoke (a capture I unfortunately missed due to my iPhone being a dog).
I loved the pea purée. I had originally thought it avocado but the sweetness soon gave that away and such a vibrant colour.
There was a smokey was but it wasn’t overpowering and I think that it was served to a level I was happy with.
Service was a little frantic and disjointed initially as tables were so close I think waiting staff thoughts were were part of another table who had already ordered.
Overall very impressed with our time at Core Terra. An unexpected find in the heart of the souvlaki territory.
Great place, stumbled upon it while searching for a place to have lunch. The menu is your standard cafe menu with a couple of additions. Their location is very convenient, within walking distance of Oakleigh station.
They have three different seating locations, out front, inside, and out back. We decided to sit outside since the weather was perfect.
I had the falafel burger with their fresh orange juice, which was nice but the patty crumbled a little and it would've benefitted from a toothpick to keep it all in. The orange juice tasted incredible and fresh. Their service was wonderful!
The place had a quaint and cozy atmosphere to it, will definitely go back!
Came in here for a quick lunch, food was great but service was lacking a little bit.
Drinks took forever to come out, but when they finally did come out they were delicious.
Would recommend for a quick lunch.
Having brunch with my friends here on Saturday morning. The staff was very nice. I love the environment, very relaxing and creative. I love the world map on the wall. The matcha latte was a little bit too sweet for me, but the avocado was very fresh and tasty. Perhaps will come back for lunch next time ~
Had soft shell crab and lobster burgers. Presentation and atmosphere at the place is great, but above all the food is delicious. Little pricey, if it wasn't for the price I would rate 5 stars.
Got the Sandwich and Truffled Polenta!
Service was fast and friendly! We waited 10 minutes for our table as it was a Sunday afternoon and the place was crowded. It was worth the wait.
Food was filling and perfect, portion wise. Taste is pretty good (Journeyman is still a little bit better taste-wise)!
Will come back again, as this is one of the best places to have a meal in Oakleigh!
Despite being very busy and horrible melbourne weather, the service from the waiters are outstanding. They are very friendly and often checked up on us to make sure we were satisified. The food came out rather quickly and it is easy to see why they are so popular. A nice change from other large noisy places in Oakleigh. Highly reccomend :)
Gotta love me some French tooooast 😁 This was soft and fluffy on the inside and perfectly crisp on the outside. Awesome for brunch and so pretty to boot (I mean check out that flower decoration going on 👌🏼).
Tried a bit of my friend's smashed avo and it was delish. Nothing extraordinary considering how pretty much every cafe does this dish but satisfying nonetheless 😁. Also, I love the chill vibes of the entire place - defo a brunch place to check out!
The smashed avocado is delicious, especially with bacon. This Cafe is refreshingly different to the usual Greek food in oakleigh. Nice little courtyard out the back is great as well, especially in summer.
Grabbed some morning tea from here this morning.
The service was friendly. I had a strong skinny latte which was great, really really good!
I was looking at the pastries and the cakes and I thought well 1 little cake won't matter!! Haha
My eyes saw the fresh home cooked muffins so that was it.
Coconut and raspberry! That got my attention lol
The main ingredients were a bit light on, in fact I didn't see or taste any raspberry but the muffin was light and non gluggy so it was a winner for me! Yay haha
This is my new fav cafe in Oakleigh 😊
Went with my sister and i had the black forest french toast which was fantastically sweet and yummy. My sister ordered eggs florentine but they mixed it up and gave her a different truffle dish. She still liked it so that wasnt too bad.
Coffee here is good too.
Cute local brunch place in proximity to the station and Chadstone shopping centre.
Burgers are great here and come with chips that are well cooked and crispy.
We had the french toast with poached pear and Crowne fraiche. A delicious combo and great portion to share with a bud. The brewed chai latte was as authentic as it could be - no off the shelf powdered chai for sure. Good spot to eat and then head to shop later on. There is also a Sunday market towards the other end of the oakleigh shops.
We ordered the lunch special, one delicious burger/taco + chips or salad + drink, only $16.
The crumbled barrumandy taco is excellent, crispy outside and soft fresh inside.
A local cafe with fresh breakfast and most importantly the best coffee around chadstone. Love their special dishes and never disappointed. Always want to get another coffee when I finished the first cup.
Matcha pancakes were pretty good but small portion. Didn't like the strawberry gel that came with it. Friend said the sandwich was average. Service was busy but friendly, ambience pretty chic. Matcha latte below average. May be back, only cos it's nearby. But find the food kind of overpriced.
Small but crowded cafe in Oakleigh. Nice coffee and atmosphere.will try brunch next time. -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.-
a small brunch spot, smoked salmon is the best that ive ever tried, it is different with others. Chips is pretty good, not too oily. Not recommend hash brown.
I was a customer since they first opened on Atherton rd. Service is always great, food is awesome, a little overpriced but definitely worth it. The only thing is I do miss some of their old dishes such as the Spanish open omelette, and French toast with poached pear and beacon, it was the best French toast I've ever tried.
The food are great! even the service that they had given to us. Every one of them is very hospitable. They'll always focus on their customers need and the ambience is classy and it makes me enjoy the staying especially the food. Oh and use Liven to get your $50 bonus. This place is a must try guys
I'd heard great things about this local cafe and came in for a Saturday brunch :)
We ordered the:
- Steak and Eggs (16 hour hanger steak, eggs, crispy potato and chipotle jam)
- Eggs Benedict (+ house smoked salmon mmmmmm)
Both were tasty but the Benedict was missing a bit of salt.. BUT maybe this was me because I came down with a virus later that day!! 🙁 The definite highlight was the house smoked salmon! Yuuuummmmm!!
Overall, the food was tasty, however the house smoked salmon and service are the real stand outs :)
Food was good and I liked what I ordered. The service and coffees were very good, just needed some kids meals and maybe a bit more of a point of difference.
Found this place tucked away from Oakleigh's main strip so we came in for lunch and had their burger/pot deal for lunch. Burger was good, service was friendly and it wasn't too loud inside.
Cool (industrial chic as a friend describes it) cafe in Oakleigh with good coffee, good food and quick friendly service. Had the miso mushrooms with salmon and friend had the special benedict with bacon chop. Both dishes looked and tasted great. Will come back!
Good coffee but not that great food. Loved the environment of the cafe! Baked beans came with pumpkins and maybe that is why the rating seats a bit below 5. Maybe it's just me but I like my beans to just beans and onions in tomato sauce. Overall good experience.

I have dined at this this Cafe only twice which is surprising as I live ten minutes away from this place. Last time I got the chicken burger + chips ($17) which was fantastic. Actually, after my first time eating here I realised that Cote Terra is one of the few standout eateries in Oakleigh. That's not to say Oakleigh is a bad place to get exceptionally good food, but it's not one of the suburbs that automatically springs to mind when thinking about top-tier restaurants. However that's not really a problem as Oakleigh is continuously growing and more eateries are opening. Now about Cote Terra. It's a nice little Cafe that has a cool calm vibe about it. The menu is varied and there is a lot to choose from. I got the cheeseburger + drink + chips ($15) from the Lunch Specials menu and it was nice. But not ground breaking. Let me put it this way, when I eat a burger I want to feel like I am one with the burger, you know what I'm saying? I want there to be a connection between me and the burger. What I am trying to say is that burger was very simple. Good, but simple. A bit too formulaic. Something that's easy to replicate. Now the chips on the other hand were perfect, something that makes me wonder how they made it. The dipping sauce next to it was so good I think something must have sparked in primary cortices deep inside my reptilian brain. All in all, nice Cafe right there. Basically I recommend this Cafe to any food lover and it is absolutely worth it.
Amount all the brunch and cafe, this still the place in my top list. Tried most of there dishes here. Never let me down. My best favorite dishes are smash avocado, polenta mash rooms, soft shell crab and lobster burger. Will miss them again after a few weeks. Service are good, friendly staff. Already recommended to many friends. Now is your turn! 😄
Close to the station, and well worth the visit. Steak and eggs, cant really go wrong for a breakfast that really satisfies every need when you have had a big night! Nice to see a bit of a change with the celeriac fritters, not a common menu item, and it looks great. Everything we ate was seasoned
perfectly, and flavours had been thought out and combined well together. All in all, a great little cafe.
This place makes top notch coffee in the heart of Oakleigh (just a short walk from the station). Worth travelling for.
The food hits the spot too.
Cote Terra is one of those cafes that takes you to another place and makes you forget about the world for an hour or two. Maybe it's the cool beats, the Byron Bay-like vibe or the indoor plants, but I certainly enjoy being in this space.
My experience with service has generally been positive too, although it does feel that they are skimping on staff sometimes - especially at busy times.
Like many cafes, however, they have uncomfortable seating for the bar tables, so if you dine solo you will most likely get the second class seats.
Dropped in for breakfast...wise choice. One of the best breakfasts I've had out. Had the rosti with pulled pork special and partner had the celeriac fritters. Will be back to sample the rest of the menu 😋
DAMMIT JANET I LOVE FOOD

Generous servings, friendly service and great coffee. It’s always particularly exciting to discover decent brunch places this side of town...
Good breakfast and great coffee. We had avocado on toast with bacon and steak with fried egg today. Both of my latte and long back are great. They are using coffee from 'The Reformatory Caffeine Lab". My Ethiopian long black delivered a juicy body with sweet jam and grape notes. Highly recommended !!
I mean… is there a fancier cafe in the area??? My hot chocolate had a bird? Owl? Flying unicorn?? So fancy I can’t tell. Chicken waffles, egg croissant etc
Even though we were eating in the back separated area/room the 1960s music with fancy speakers kept the vibe (it was quieter so we could chat so worked out better for us anyways!)
Worth a visit for sure. And the reviews reflect that :)
They serve the Best iced matcha latte I ever had in Melbourne. Great coffee and beautiful coffee art.
Most of the time I order cold drinks for takeaway but if I’m dining in I would definitely go for a hot drink, just to see their creative coffee art.
Cool spot! All day Breakfast menu is pretty great. Lunch selection could be larger, however overall, really cool spot. Chicken burger is my choice. Great coffee also according to my wife (I’m not a coffee drinker), however the soy chia latte is brilliant. Croissants are brilliant also!
Amazing food, I especially love the corn bread. There are a lot of more things on the menu that I can’t wait to explore, not those things that you see at every cafe but they look delicious and interesting. Will definitely recommend.
Portion size fits 1 person for build your own eggs breakfast. Price is affordable. You can choose your coffee type.
Very yummy, way bigger than I think, have to takeaway some leftovers hahahaha Will recommend, only consider share this with someone! 100% come back to discover the whole menu. P.s octopus grilled very well :) five stars!
The best coffee in the area with delicious food and friendly staff! Their Reuben sandwich, chilli scrambled croissant, Thai beef salad, and ofc the classic avo smash and much more are all excellent!
