Absolutely perfect for (a slightly hungover) brunch.
The cured salmon was delightful and, even though the tables were fully booked the whole time, the staff all were accommodating and prompt.
Highly recommend the Spritz �
The staff greeted me almost immediately with a smile, always appreciated. The food was great particularly the portion size, eggs cooked perfectly and the dish tasted well balanced and seasoned. The coffee was also great. Loved the ambiance and although I don't reside in Melbourne, certainly happy to recommend this venue and will return next time I'm in Melbourne.
In my opinion a great space.... Great meals, great service, music and even art!!! I already had the pleasure of listen great bands of jazz and rock & roll, defenitely recommended!!!
Service was fabulous. We were served by Elora. So friendly and happy. Portion sizes were huge. My moroccan lamb sliders were to die for. And a great range of cocktails. Also made the kids feel welcome on a Saturday night.

We had such a good night. The staff are absolutely beautiful! Good and cheap cocktails as well. Will definitely recommend this place!
Fantastic staff, great atmosphere, service was awesome and the food was delicious. Very generous servings.
I called in to Amici’s for a coffee w my partner. The service was great, friendly and personable.
Just wanting a coffee we ordered a strong almond latte and a strong skinny latte.
As requested, both coffees were strong, woo!! I am not sure if they were double or triple shots but they were some of the strongest coffees I’ve tried lol.
The almond latte was delicious, w some great milk froth. My strong skinny latte was also very good, my only personal gripe was that my coffee was soooooo hot, so hot that I couldn’t pick up my glass. Mmnn
Overall though it’s still a really good cafe.
Original review September 2018
Amici baked three fabulous cakes for my recent birthday party. From the extensive menu, I selected flourless chocolate, flourless orange and a raspberry almond crumble. All three cakes were gluten free, to cater for everyone, and were devoured by the guests. Each was more delicious than the last. The staff were extremely helpful and professional, and a pleasure to deal with. They even added extra decorations to make the cakes spectacular. I considered many bakeries before choosing Amici, and could not have been more thrilled with the outcome. Give them a try. You won't regret it.
We ordered a specially made birthday cake through Amici Cafe. The staff were great, Sandra the caterer was fantastic listening to everything we wanted and making me feel like I was being heard. The pastry chef nailed the brief and the cake ended up being even more than I imagined, all for an amazing price. Highly recommend.

Amici had just launched a new brunch menu and after seeing it online, We had to race down to try what was on offer. So many good things!
The CHILLI SCRAMBLE was one of the best I’ve had! The orange infused chilli sauce had a slight sweetness that worked really well with the Smokey Spanish flavours of the chorizo and bacon. Crispy shallots and shaved Parmesan brought it all together. They served it piled high on grilled sourdough, which I loved!! It does have a kick, so if you ain’t into chilli like me, ask for it in the side.
My wife got the BROCCOLI FRITTERS, and I couldn’t help but have a cheeky taste. Delicious, moist and perfectly crisp around the edges - these were great! They are served with two perfectly poached eggs, a tangy tahini dressing, and feta.
We also shared the FRENCH TOAST. This was a great end to a perfect brunch. Sweet maple, fresh fruit and a smooth, rich white choc creme anglaises, served over and around golden fried brioche bread. Yum!
The other highlight on the menu was a crispy skin HARISSA SALMON dish. Can’t wait to come and try that next time!
Fantastic catering! My family and I have utilised Amici many times now for catering for x2 engagement parties as well as many birthday cakes etc. The food is all made from scratch in house and is just delicious. Great range. Really easy and lovely to aliases with over email to coordinate etc. I'd just say be careful to to order too much. Value was good and will definitely use again. Everyone is still talking about how great the food was. Thanks again so much to all the catering team at Amici! :) - Caitlin.
I have found this place accidentally on Carpel street after lunch. This place is full of energy and great music.
I have been cappuccino. The coffee is great tho ! (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
Most importantly, the staff are energetic and very active minded !!! (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
Furthermore, this place is a one of photogenic cafe as you can find it decorated by beautiful paintings.
Thank you very much to make a POLICE Birthday cake for my son . It was absolutely fantastic , He really like it and he said super cool BEST CAKE EVER .
Hands down best cafe resteraunt in inner Melbourne! The coffee is excellent and you can really tell the condiments and sauces are all hand made on site. I no longer live nearby, but travel to treat myself.
Dropped in today for an emergency hit of caffeine and definitely found gold - double shot latte was solid - other half had a slab of blueberry coconut cake and loved it. Great service friendly and reasonably quick for a busy Sunday. Only had coffee but rate it.
Lovely staff. I had the smashed avo and wow was it a meal! Filled me for hours; came equipped with an entire, smashed avocado on two thick pieces of grainy bread, topped with two perfectly-poached eggs and a lemon wedge. So delicious....definitely one of my faves so far (and I have had A LOT of smashed avo dishes...)
The iconic chapel st place
I discovered amici 6 months ago. I started with the coffee... and one, two etc Sunday for a brunch. I was never know any disappointed. It’s so delicious! And for my daughter’s birthday I ordered a birthday cake. Just perfect! So beautiful and very good. She was very happy with the decoration!
Concerning the staff, the guys are all the time friendly and helpful.
Now Amicii is our place to be!
Thanks a lot!
Great place for coffee and food. We had a birthday cake made form the bakery for 12 year old yohan. Fantastic and great value thanks to Sandra
I can't thank Amici on Chapel enough for their terrific service. I'm a mother based in London, England, my daughter was in Melbourne on a work trip and it was her birthday. At home I always make her a big, chocolate heavy, birthday cake. But what's a mum to do when her daughter is so far away? Amici on Chapel came to the rescue. They made a super birthday cake with lots of chocolate cookies and cream, personalised it, and delivered it to my daughter's work on her special day. Result - one surprised and thrilled daughter and one very happy mother. From first contact to arranging payment Amici's attitude was "no problem" and everything went to plan. Special thanks to Paul and Sandra for all their efforts.
A lovely place for coffee, the staff are always friendly and there’s good vegan options, even amongst the pastries. I love the almond raspberry crumble! A great place to meet your friends or get a take away!
I should’ve done this long time ago, just had a chance to do it now 😉 this place is amazing! Coffee is good, burger is amazing, dessert?? Oh that’s the best part! Nice and friendly staff too.
Had a really nice dinner here last week! The sweet potato burger was amazing and I will come back solely for that. Another in our group had smashed avo on toast (yes, for dinner) - it was such a generous serve and really delicious. The parmas all looked great too. Would highly recommend this place for breakfast, lunch or dinner (and drinks).
We had a family birthday lunch there about a month ago and not only was the food great and the cake we had made there yummy but the staff were great. In particular one man - sorry don't know his name - made it fun and he was very kind to us.
This past weekend we had catering and a cake we had made there for an engagement party. When I went I went to pick up the food a number of staff assisted in loading the car and they loaned me a lot of platters etc as well. Everyone said that the food was the best of its kind that they had ever had and that the cake was tasty and lovely to look at.
A great experience!
Awesome service (served by Adrian, who was beyond friendly and welcoming), and the food was absolutely incredible. Would highly recommend the soft shell crab sliders. Fantastic happy hour deals (and time: 4pm all the way till closing!), and great ambience. The art there is all top notch, and available for purchase if you're enough of a fan ;P Overall, really lovely experience, could not recommend enough.
Great friendly service, delicious food with very generous portion sizes and nice setting. Good for a personal or business and free WiFi :). Will visit again
I've been coming here for a couple of years now and it has only ever improved. The service is great, friendly and the food is always delicious.
Highly recommended!
Firstly, this pace is a go-to place to get coffee on a weekend. Staff are always friendly, they seem to retain their staff and you see the same faces (which is a good sign), service is quick and coffee is good. The main reason for my review is the great experience I had with ordering an important birthday cake. I am so happy that I decided to order a cake for my nieces birthday from there, I am pretty much the best uncle ever now! It was a very reasonable price by comparison and even better then that, it totally delivered on taste and looks (photo below). It was exactly what I had expected. Couldn't be happier. The Pastry Chef certainly know what they are doing and take pride in their craft, totally recommend 110%. The ordering process was pretty easy and the finer details were sorted out on email, felt pretty comfortable the whole way through . Just delightful on all accounts. Love your work Amici on Chapel. :-)
Very nice environment. Such lovely staff. Fresh and generous breaky and coffee is on point def recommend if on chapel st. They make their own cakes and you know straight away the difference.
On a off chance stopped here for a late lunch today with friends, we shared some tasting plates and could not resist the raspberry Chocolate cake.
Great food great service, great music we didn't want to leave.
How much better does it get than this?! Minion party for my little minion! Thank you SO much to Sandra and her team for making my son's birthday amazing!!! You guys are amazing and the cake was absolutely delicious! Excited for next year's birthday!! Thank you !!!!!
This place is trying very hard and I have noticed the patron number increase in the last few months. They are putting out flyers to customers on the street and have some great drink specials. Food is well priced and is pretty good from what I have had and others have had with me. I have no comment on breakfast items, desserts or coffee only lunch/dinner menu. Good staff and I hope this place keeps getting more business and lightens up the block between High street and Malvern road.
came for quick lunch,staff were great warm welcome , Had mushroom Risotto and calamari salad. taste good and fresh. will be back............
Amici have had exceptionally good meals each time of my visits. Great restaurant with cozy atmosphere and attractive art on one wall. Tremendously delicious desserts that make me feel amazed every time I taste them.
Love this place, its a daily go to before work. Food is always great, amazing friendly staff and the coffee is exceptional. Would highly recommend to anyone!
This place has some great items on their menu and some average ones too, it's all a matter of picking something to your liking (as with most restaurants). I recommend heading to Amici when you have a group of friends with you and are able to share different things, as it was through doing that that I realised their antipasto platter and their blt sandwiches are quite delicious. The lunch deal with a cocktail for $8 is quite a good one and the strawberry mojito is certainly lovely!
Amazing desserts and coffee! The cheesecake is so light and creamy it's more like soufflé than cake. We sat outside and they had live music playing - it was a great night out. Good service too
Had breakfast here this morning with a girlfriend. The place is a bit run down however we were greeted by very friendly staff which is more important. I just had a very boring avo on toast with a side of mushrooms but it was nice. My friend had the muesli and she enjoyed it. Not too busy on a Saturday morning so I would recommend for a chilled breakfast. Coffee was not the best I've had but not the worst either.
Attentive staff and wonderful décor. Although recently they've got a deal where you buy two drinks and you get one free. The deal doesn't specify what kind of and size of the drinks that need to be ordered and what category of free drink you get in return. It's a real test of the customer and staffs patience. Let's hope they go back to the happier happy hour specials because I'd like to return rather than be mislead.
Really great food and service, was seated and served immediately with friendly staff. Food was delicious and reasonably priced for what you get
Dropped in after a gruelling bball session. Staff were friendly and efficient and were very attentive to our needs. I had the wagyu beef burger which was very satisfying. The beer battered chips were especially yummy.
I have to admit the best part about this place is the attentiveness to detail by staff.
Quickly stopped off for deserted. Ordered the peanut butter walnut brownie and the chocolate protein bar. Both were yum. Very large portions 👌🏽 can't complain there and well priced. Good place to stop off for a naughty treat. Thanks guys
Casual dining on Chapel Street. Decent quality food, good to go for a catch up lunch with friends.
They do some good cheap lunch deals.
I usually get the Mushroom Risotto for $15. Huge portion, barely finish it. Great taste
Coffee is good too.
Would come again
The staff are lovely and the service is great. We got the lunch special of salmon pasta and chicken mash and jus. Got big portion especially for the price. The pasta was quite nice, the chicken however was just okay. A little bit lacking in flavour, the stuffing was a bit dry and cold. The mash and the jus were great though.
Exceptional service.Great staff.Loved seeing a mothers group near the couches chilling out with babies. Sunshine juice I had rocked. So fresh
Great food and service. Went for lunch and I love how they serve breakfast all day. I had the green bowl but thought it would be served with bread but was mistaken.
This place is GREAT for cocktails out the front outside on a sunny day! Cheap too - $10 specials and a great wine list. Lots of smokers out the front so not a place to bring children or little ones but inside is hectic busy. I can't believe a lot of the reviews as the place is always packed solid.
Great customer service - very attentive and on the ball. Friendly staff.
Good food and drinks - loved the chocolate milkshake! Food a tad expensive, but beers a good price.
Returned a few times to work - good wifi.
I mainly go in for coffee, being a barista myself, I'm very fussy about that, love always found their coffe to be good and well presented. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and on the occasions I've eaten there I've found their food to be fresh and tasty. I'll certainly go back again and again, a great atmosphere and welcoming staff make for a pleasant time.

I went inside on the weekend and ordered breakfast. I came in very early and they were still setting up but the food came very fast. I ordered poach eggs on toast with smashed avocado and hollandaise sauce. It all went really well togather and the eggs were perfect. To drink I had orange juice which was decent. The food came farley fast and a service was fine. I had a good time and will come again if I'm on Chapel Street
I had a private function for my engagement at Amici and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The venue, food, staff and drinks were amazing. We've had many compliments on how great of a night it was, how good and plentiful the food was and how awesome the drinks were. We picked you a few cocktails to be served throughout the night so everybody was very happy.
Great venue for a private function, recommend it highly!
Having traveled the world for the past seven months, it was a joy to come back home to enjoy once again the superb food provided by the Amici Bakery Cafe - whose standards have seemingly improved whilst we have been away!
Our entrees - Calamari and Asparagus dishes set the scene for a wonderful culinary experience, these dishes preceded an outstanding Wagyu beef hamburger and the specialty of the house, grilled salmon.
Chapel Street has no finer restaurant than the Amici Cafe Bakery - it is good to be home again.
You may even find an elephant or a fish inscribed in your delicious coffee provided by the talented Barista.
Coffee is served in lovely cups of a proper size and taste. I also had a banana bread which was served warm with some butter. Very, very nice! The service was also very nice and proactive.

Have just started my new job in Prahran and needed to find a place for my daily coffee fix and lunch. Walked along Chapel Street and found this lovely unpretentious cafe. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the coffee is good, and the prices are seriously good for what you get. I ordered the coconut and chia seed porridge which was made with almond and coconut milk which is great as milky porridge don’t agree with me. It was delicious and I enjoyed the figs, berry compote and almonds garnish on top which made it look rustic. I surprisingly cleaned the whole bowl which is unusual as I am a small eater and tend to graze. It was a very pleasant and comfortingly meal on a cold winters day in Melbourne.
The front counter is stacked with all sorts of yummy goodies made in house. Their scones, banana & walnut bread, almond croissants and Portuguese tarts all look so tempting, so I will be sure to try them next time one day at a time. They have lots of ready made wraps and rolls overflowing with fillings, and the chicken avocado and chicken schnitzel ones look scrumptious. These I will have when I am time poor and have to work through my lunch.
I can see why this place is popular. It has a lovely vibe, great food and great coffee. I will need to find excuses why my boss will allow us to have our team meetings here.
Found this delightful café on Chapel Street and was enticed in by the ambience and vibe - it actually had music that I could sing along too - an eclectic mix of popular music so I felt was quite comfortable being there. I looked around and there was everyone from little bubs to workers and oldies. We enjoyed their super juices - one was called "sunshine" and was actually was the only sunshine in an otherwise wet and cold Melbourne day.Not being a salad person and wanting something healthy for once, I had the falafel fattoush salad - it was scrumptious which is amazing for a salad. The falafels were made with the trendy super foods "kale and chia seed" and was surprisingly delicious and the best falafels I have ever had. Being a non vegetarian, this meal was excellent and I will definitely come back. Healthy never tasted so good.Looks like this café will become a favourite place of mine.
I use Amici for catering almost every week and can only rave about the service, quality of food and the friendly staff whenever I do go in to the cafe. Highly recommended!
Great coffee and breakfast.
Night time meals $15 special is also worth a try which is great value and taste scrumptious. You won't be disappointed with the the choice of cocktails and freshly made mixed fruit juice either.
The waiting staff are friendly and easy to have a conversation with.
good vibes at this iconic place but wait staff need to be more alert. my coffees were fine, nothing special but still a good standard coffee.
Nice spot, interesting decor that is always interesting, friendly staff, very approachable even chatty, very fresh and tasty delicious food from entrees to mains and desserts, nicely presented, nothing too much for them, just ask and they went out of their way to accommodate us, walked out filled to the gills and very satisfied thank you, oh and by the way their coffee and after dinner pastries and tidbits are excellent to, coffee is as hot as I like and that is so hot I cannot drink it, try any of their special drinks, they are a whizz on the palate, so refreshing

Fabulous food and cocktails. Timing out from our all day conference for lunch, we headed off to Chapel Street looking for a place where we could sit outside as it was quite sunny and we had been stuck inside an airless room all morning. My colleague fancied Asian and we found a place called Laksa Bar. it looked dark inside like it was closed but they had some furniture outside and the leather chairs reminded me of the conference room and looked more like inside furniture than outside. We looked around and spotted a sushi cafe and a restaurant across the road. I persuaded my friend to try the restaurant as it looked buzzing with customers and had outside seating with people soaking up the sun. We went over and sat down, and a courteous waiter greeted us. We ordered the crispy polenta and cous cous salad, mixed spiced calamari, and the bruschetta devilled egg as they do an all day breakfast. The food was yum, in fact very delicious and flavoursome, - so glad we came here for lunch. We treated ourselves to some cocktails as they have a special going 2 for $18 - my friend ordered the frozen lychee mojito and I ordered the espresso martini - what can I say - they were wonderful and my friend was so pleased that we decided to come to here. With our takeaway bonsoy chai lattes, we strolled reluctantly back to our all day conference meeting.
We will definitely be coming back as this place is amazing - the food, the cocktails, the vibe and ambience - it is just lovely. I will definitely be having what the table next to us had - smoked chicken crepe and the double decker parma and I can't wait to share this with my boyfriend who is parma mad.
Reply to Michael Lord. Hello Michael Lord, if that is infact your real name.
I am the proprietor of Amici Bakery Cafe. I have noticed that you have posted 5 negative reviews about my cafe in the past 4 months. Other negative reviews under the names 'Nick' and 'Fat Teddy's Crew' closely resemble the language you repeatedly use.
Surely, if you find my cafe so offensive, you would simply go elsewhere? There are many to choose from on Chapel St.
Or are you infact a disgruntled former staff member? Or a rival cafe owner?
Please accept my invitation to visit Amici and make yourself known. I will happily discuss the perception you have of my cafe. Go on, atleast try to act like a man. I dare you.
We had breakfast at Amici this morning, and it was good. Actually, it was really good. It's a bit of a barn, but without the cold and draughts, etc. The servings are pretty big, though, so be warned. Really nice, but BIG. Service was fine - the waiter knew what was going on with the voucher, and they got the orders right and were pleasant and polite, so that's pretty good. (Paying was a bit of a less organised affair, but worked OK in the end.) Our voucher said anything off the breakfast menu and a coffee, which actually means tea or coffee, but no hot chocolate, unfortunately. So we had the tea, which was pretty nice, even to someone who doesn't drink tea - it was nice and hot, which is always a good start. Cha had the corn and zucchini fritters, with a stack of bacon and tomato and wilted spinach, with a drizzle of sweet balsamic. Seriously nice, lots of bacon and the fritters were nice and crunchy. I think I'll have this next time we go. I had the b

Amici Votre!. Life can be beautiful when you're with friends! And there is no better place than Amici for a catch-up. This place ticks all the boxes: Extensive cocktail list to keep the stories coming, tasty platters to share, a great selection of meals like only Melbourne can offer and a tip-top Shiraz (that's my pick, feel free to try the other wines). And then there is the cakes! What a display and selection! Some of the best patisseries in Paris will be envious. All that in a pleasant and roomy venue so you don't have to hear what a great job the guy at the next table did all day.
Fantastic evening! Thanks Amici and Staff.
Tasty food, relaxed vibe.. One of my fav go-to places on Chapel St. Has a diverse menu catering for healthy and indulgent options. Good for socialising or solo dining. Can cater for a coffee-stop/coffee & cake/meal. Chilled, casual atmosphere.The cakes and slices are delish. Recommended for sure. Keeping in mind it is a bakery-cafe so probably not a place to go for a special occasion.
Went here for a friend's birthday dinner, was given the back larger table, which made it more private. Has a relaxed and chilled vibe. Friendly and attentive waiters, ordered the Parma and a freshly squeezed juice, loved it!
I've eaten here a few times and have always been really happy with the good and the service.
The calamari is brilliant and the waitstaff are always really friendly!
Great service, friendly staff and the calamari was amazing!! Not a fan of the chipotle aioli though ...
Meh! Girl next door cafe it's got all necessary qualities nothing exceptional but a tip rinse out and clean your glass washer after picking up 3 dirty glasses from "clean" pile for water I had to order bottled water
Great Cake. Cheesecake here is the BEST !!!
Nice vibe. Went here for brunch this morning. Had a decent meal. Was nothing to really write home about though. Service was great and so too was the vibe inside (reasonably busy). Would probably give this place another shot. Kitchen needs to just amp up the seasoning! The ideas are there just lacking a little execution.
This place was great. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food servings were very generous. Just had some scrambled eggs with bacon and avocado, and it was explosively delicious

Best New Bar!. As my partner and I wandered down Chapel St. last Saturday night we were handed a voucher each to buy two cocktails for twelve dollars at Amici. Thinking it too good to be true but irresistible at the same time we decided to give it a shot and have subsequently found our new favourite place to have a drink whenever we feel like one.
The cocktail list is traditional and done properly by a team of two expert and clearly experienced bartenders who take pride in their work using fresh ingredients and quality spirits. What started out as a couple of drinks quickly turned into several more as we sampled their list and ended up staying for dinner.
Already known to us as a place to get fantastic breakfasts, coffee and cakes the chefs at Amici have designed an evening menu of superb standard! The calamari is the best we have had in years and the Lamb fillet salad was incredibly good and under twenty dollars! We were informed that the kitchen is now open until midnight on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights so hooray! At last an affordable alternative on Chapel St. for night owls like us who are tired of settling for a souvlaki after ten pm!
The music is a mixture of retro and new rock n roll and played at a level that makes you want to let your hair down, though for those looking for a quiet corner there is ample room at the back of the venue where the music is played at a quieter level.
The floor staff are fast, professional and seem to enjoy their work! A rarity when we are all so used to the minimalist approach most new bars seem to pay homage to in their customer service.
After being gifted another 'two for one' cocktail voucher each on the way out (bear in mind the cocktails are only twelve dollars so that's two for twelve) and realising that ice cold Coronas are only $4 all day every day (!!) we were back with friends on Sunday night and they enjoyed it as much as we did. This time we all indulged in exquisite traditionally made Sangria and a 'Grazing Platter' to die for.
We then devoured some of the best desserts we have had in a long time beautifully displayed at the front of the venue.
'Amici' have set a new benchmark for revellers and foodies alike and are a very welcome addition to night time Chapel St. Their huge indoor and outdoor spaces, quirky decor, amazing prices, incredible quality and brilliant service are sure to impress!
I know where I'm having my birthday now this year!
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. I can not rave about this place enough. Had a breakfast with 10 people and we all absolutely enjoyed everything there.
Coffee and food were super delicious and the smoothies were to die for.
The customer service was exemplary, they gave us free lemongrass and ginger tea for a girl that wasn't feeling too well and everyone else was super bubbly and happy. This place was amazing & I will be coming back many times!
Wow what a difference. We are long time Chapel St. residents who used to frequent Amici, but stopped going due to a bad experience. Decided to try again, and WOW.
Great food, coffee and service.
Highly recommend and will be back.
Unlike everyone else. I have experienced the total opposite. The service on both occasions was FANTASTIC. However, the coffee was filthy. Don't serve it if you can't make it...again...bitter and cold! The food was also no better, decent price and decent portions..but something I could easily make at home.
Walked into this cafe around 4:30 this avo with my mates. The cake display is good.Ordered squid and fritters. They tasted amazing. Awesome flavours and well presented. Will get back soon. ;)
Good service. Amazing service, cute little cafe, absolutely loved the set out. We ordered smashed avocado on toast, needless to say ive never had anything like it in my life. The bread was amazingly made, with a smooth scrumptious mound of avocado on top. I also ordered their freshly squeezed juice.. i had to order more than one glass. nuff said.
Great Improvement. Has there been a change in management? Whatever has happened is great! Stopped going there last year as I was not happy with the service and the coffee. Glad that I decided to go back in last week as there has been a huge improvement in service, coffee and menu. I will now be a regular!
Happy Return. I'm not a fussy guy, but I reluctantly returned to Amici's as I was invited by a friend for a coffee and a bite meet, but I must say it has improved out of sight. No more chasing your order, no more indifference from staff. It's quite obvious they have someone running the place now and the staff appear that they actually want to be there. The vibe is now great and so is the coffee. If I had to suggest something, I would make it more inviting from the street, i think it's tired and has fallen behind other shops in the vicinity.
Great to see the change. Great to see change. Great reasonably price new menu and obvious management change. Staff were friendly and provided prompt service. Would definately recommend a visit. Coffee is also delicious.
Nice Museli. Turkish bircher museli with poached apple and yoghurt was delicious, had some kind of special flavour, perhaps cardamom. Chai latte served in a large coffee cup had a nice inoffensive flavour.
However restaurant let down by atrocious music of a genre I could not identify.... scary music, scarily bad. I would return for the food definitely, high quality.
Well worth a visit. Some recent management changes at Amici in the last couple of weeks should make a big difference to the service..
Great coffee, lovely petit-fours and the best cake I have ever eaten (dark chocolate and raspberry cake with dark chocolate and raspberry ganache).
They do catering too - they catered mum's 60th birthday with a great range of really yummy finger foods - loved the frenched lamb cutlets in particular!
As for the cafe - It's easily accessible for prams, there are highchairs available and baby chino's are free - suits us perfectly :)
Great Coffee!. Popped into Amici today for a quick coffee and i really have to say! the greatest Chai Latte! I'll be back!
Amici is more than friend. Magnifique, formidable, superb, suette, and fantastic!!!Amici t takes the operation of this cafe very seriously and it shows in every way. The warm greeting from everyone, the menus with something for everyone and the food, beautifully prepared and so delicious!!! Few café's can really deliver on all of this and Amici does it every time.
I like it. Amici has a great environment. The staff there are great, they will assist you with anything that you need. The food is amazing, from the pastries to the main meals. I have been there for a few functions and wow they know how to make the night very enjoyable.
Brekky me up!. Haven't been to Amici in a few years, and now I regret it! Had a group of four sitting outside in the sun people-watching on a Sunday morning. Good service and the Eggs Benedict was amazing, it had ruined Eggs Benedict for breakfast as now no-one can compete!
Great Coffee!. Popped into Amici today on my way to work! and i just have to say! thank you for the great soy latte! keep it up!
After attending a really fun engagement party at Amici a few weeks back (yummy food, great drinks and awesome waiters/bar staff), my girlfriends and I thought we'd hit up Amici for brunch on Sunday. We consider ourselves professional brunch connoisseurs as we brunch weekly at cafe's all over Melbourne and I must say Amici satisfied all our senses - pumping yet cosy vibe, delicious food, fresh juices, gorgeous friendly floor staff and the best soy latte a girl could ask for! From amazing private functions to completely satisfying brunches; Amici, you got it all!!
AMICI ME ALL OVER!. Hello food lovers!
I was in amici for the first time the other day and I have to say there’s a great vide going on in there. I did wait about 30 minutes for food but the place was pumping! Why haven’t they opened up some more stores! Great place, good service, and some of the best ribs I’ve ever had! Loved it!
Great Morning at Amici. I popped into Amici this past Saturday after some friends raved about it the previous week and I must say the raving was well deserved! I had an amazing serve of Salmon and Eggs with probably the best Chai latte I’ve ever had. I was tempted by the very well presented cake fridge but having come straight from the gym I had to pass. I have just booked them to look after our office lunches this Friday. Thank you Amici!
Amazing. Went there to use deals voucher! We were very happy with the service n the food!! Definitely one of my fav breakfast place!
One word - AMAZING. I only ever come here for breakfast. It's out brekkie place. As a creature of comfort I stick to my favourite - the lite breky - which consists of poached eggs, wholemeal toast, lean ham, avo and light cream cheese. It is to DIE FOR and hits the spot everytime. Great atmosphere, Staff are excellent, attentive, friendly but efficient and helpful.
Couldn't recommend this place more. Love Love LOOOVE!!!
By far the best fruit and nut toast (or bun) on the planet. Coffee always good, but service usually terrible
Amazing. I come here with my girl friends all the time. The coffee is great and good food. Definately recommend it after a big night out.
Pretty vanilla. The food is fairly stock standard cafe fare, and the service is friendly but forgetful. Not a great deal of atmosphere, and there's no real point of difference with this place when it comes to their food. Having said that, I walked away from my breakfast with friends full and content. Worth a look-in if everywhere else on Chapel St is packed out and you're stuck to find a table on a hungover Sunday morning. It's just not the sort of place to go for a memorable meal.
Food was good but nothing spectacular. Strived to find a smile from the staff
Chicken and pesto scroll FTW!. - Chicken and pesto scroll - Winner of the Sat breakfast. Generous amount of ham and cheese, creamy and served warmed, plus crunchy scroll on the side
- Vege fungi - The mushroom taste really good! I'm not too sure about the goat cheese. It was my first time tasting it and I've decide I don't like it.
- Apple crumble - A bit too sweet and the crumbs were a little too think for my liking. Still taste good though.
Overall, good service, cozy interior and warm ambient. Great for quiet catch up as it was not too many customers. Bear it mind I was there at 7.30am on a Saturday morning.
Mark. Want a great hardy breakfast then eat here. Food and service excellent. Took advantage of The Specials Board I Phone App and brought one Breakfast and received the second one FREE. 10 out of 10 from me.....
We go here every time my parents come to visit from brissy. They love this place-and so do we. We always get good service and the breakfast options are great. Love the fresh orange juice, beautiful poached eggs on their delicious bakery breads, great coffee too! We have been coming here regularly for over 3 years-and would recommend to anyone!
I'm a regular. I go here all the time, its a solid place, food & coffee are great & consistent, staff can be hit & miss, thats the nature of caffe's...its not fine dining people....good value too..
What a delicious breakfast and coffee! I really enjoyed my time and the price was very reasonable. Also enjoyed the take away pastries!

Embrace the old. As the rest of Melbourne becomes preoccupied by small 40 seat cafes and designer menus, it's ok every now and then to fall back to the old, comfortable Italian canteen style experience and chow down on something familiar and honest. Big, shared open space, all concrete and glass, the constant clatter of chatter and cutlery, cushioned wall seats you sink into, good pastries, decent coffee and honest to goodness food, all at prices below the Chapel St choke hold. Service can be hit and miss, but that's the way everywhere. For the most part, you smile they'll smile back. And they appreciate feedback: one of their soups let down miserably, and after gently telling the proprietor, I received the meal free, two discount coffees when I returned on separate occasions, and just now I've come back from the bacon, veg and lentil soup ($8.50), with two giant slabs of wholegrain (no sourdough! Rejoice! Such bravery!) and I am one replete, repeat customer. Don't come in with your nose in the air, embrace the atmosphere and the indulgence of eating in a comfortable, easy going venue that seats a 100+ and you'll do well ...
I absolutely love this place. The waiters know us, remember where we sit/ what we like to eat- and we only go around once a fortnight! Amazing hot choc, great eggs. Fruit and nut toast mmmmmmm.... Can't say a bad word about this place.
LOVE their cake cabinettt :). Cake+coffee special $7.50 !!!!
i guess it's worthy.
i love the modern and busy atmosphere as well as their sweets!
the day before Australia day,we got served a piece of lamington :]
the other day , we had little pistacho cookie with our coffee order!
It's always pleasant surpriseee :]
ps, last time i asked 'almond croissant' to the guy there, he said "no we don't have almond croissant"
but i just checked cold cabinet there's 4 of them left ?!
WT..
Great breakfast at Amici. Joined friends for a fabulous breakfast at Amici. Loved the mushroom stack & my friends really enjoyed the corn fritters. Best coffee I've tasted for a long time. Keep the good work up Amici. We will all be back again.
Amici bakery. Amici has the best breakfast and coffee, also makes amazing birthday cakes.
Good Coffee, Good food. Love the falafal wrap, raspberry and white choc muffin and adore the almond croissant! Coffee is good, not long to wait for takeaway depsite being busy.
Was a regular for a while whilst working in the area.
Best Breakfast. Great breakfast and fantastic value. i love the eggs benedict and when you ask for crispy bacon, you actually get it
Went here for brunch with Ange. The food and coffee and service was excellent. No surprise that Amici was bustling with people, but this didn't adversely affect the level of service. Overall: quick, cheap, good
Comfortable, good outdoor space. Huge menu, especially for breakfast. Tasty food.
You can satisfy pretty much anything you fancy with a great variety from sandwiches, pizzas, snacks to a full meal or a sweet treat with a great coffee. The service has always been great too
Excellent place fir lunch. Beautiful coffee and fresh meals
Beware of the Shake !!. I have ordered a chocolate milk Shake and have asked to have it as thick as possible.
The thick shake has arrived and it was a big and well thicken shake.
When I go the bill, I found out that was charged for:
CHOCOLATE MSHAKE $5.90
XTRTA ICECREAM $1.00
XTRTA ICECREAM $1.00
XTRTA ICECREAM $1.00
Total of: $8.90
In my opinion, there should not be extra charge for thickening the shake and if there is, I should be notified in the time of order and not when getting the bill.
Great food and good service. Amici is spacious and is good families or alone for quick bite. They even have free wifi if you want to get some work done while waiting for your meal to be served. Good decor some colorful vibrant paintings and pictures.
Omg we were looking for a coffee place that didn't cost the earth being Toorak, and found this little Gem! Just for the look alone with all its quirky art and atmosphere you should visit! Our coffee were well done and I didn't even use sugar. So smooth! Will be back to try other things. Come here you won't be disappointed. I loved the tables and bar stools. The fact that it was quite busy got me in the door as well.

The service is great and fast. They have a wonderful outdoor seating with a perfect heater. We ordered a long black and a latte. It was tasty. Also we had breakfast there, I do recommend this place.
Great portions for the price, was a bit unsure at first but they turned out great.
Chili scrambled eggs were awesome and partner loved the granola acai bowl.
For those 2 brekkies plus 2 X large coffees it was $52 including the 10% surcharge for public holidays. Will come here again for sure!
Food is average Melbourne prices. Interior is nothing special but it doesn’t pretend to be. Helpful staff and good food, will be back again
