We had a pretty good brunch here as after a lot of wine the night before all I felt like was standard brunch food... like a roti with some bacon and egg - they nailed this!
The scrambled egg, chill and bacon wraps were also great. Lots of flavour and we loved the spice from the chilli.
The only let down was the bacon... so fatty and not cooked enough to render the fat down. If that was done properly it would have been a 5 star review!
Best coffee and food down burnley street, with lovely staff with a smile to match β€οΈππ» will definitely be back here again! Lovely outdoor area as well for those sunny relaxed days ππ»βοΈ

Place was nicely set up.
Food was great. We had the steak and spaghetti.
Staff was friendly.
Will definitely go again to try the other menu items.
I was so impressed with the large servings. At penny house, you really get all your money's worth. I'm always annoyed at cafes that charge 20$ for a small plate of food. I had the pastrami eggs Benedict, and the caramelised onions were to die for. The hot chocolate was great too. Staff were extremely friendly, and was just a chill place to have breaky.
Fantastic breakfast joint in Richmond. Have tried the big breakfast which is delicious with perfectly poached eggs and excellent bacon. Coffee is fantastic. Open kitchen which inspires confidence in the cooking. Will definitely be back many more times.
Coffee is the best in Richmond. Food is fresh, flavour packed and delicious! Service is second to none, the people there are so friendly and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend!!
Epic benedict choices. Their deluxe smashed avo is hands down my favourite. Very friendly cafe, good coffee, and they always have every paper available.
Went on Australia day as alot of other places where suprised, was for a cafe not in a highly popular area this cafe was surprising a great experience, do recommend will go again!
Our local favourite. Consistently great coffee. Food is delicious, good variety from brekkie to lunch. The team always provide friendly service, great vibe.

Modern funky looking venue with some tables out front. Be warned its squishy if you've got long legs and its also set up for smokers. Had I realised there were smokers I wouldnt have opted to sit outside and enjoy the winter sun. Sorry but get rid of the smokers, especially as you don' have that much seating inside you potentially will loose customers. Β Β
Anyway as I said its a modern styled place with a dark wood interior and a semi open kitchen. It was quite warn inside so it might get stuffy in summer.Β
While Im waiting to order there's a steady queue of customers getting coffee and lunches and the food looks good. The salads look really appetising. I opt for lighter lunch and thats great because they offer breakfast all day. so its Salmon Rosti and a large flat white. I dont have to wait long for my coffee which is nice and hot. Just the way I like it. Maybe it was a little weak and I'm not sure its an automatic double shot for a large like my other coffee place, but its still a nice tasting coffee..
My meal came out after about 5 min and it too was piping hot. 2 rosti with wilted spinach, smoked salmon and 2 poached eggs with hollandaise. The rosti were crunchy moist and had great texture. You got a lovely potato taste even with a mouthful of everything. The smoked salmon had been warmed slightly (I hate when its cold in a hot dish) and there was plenty of it. The spinach was just wilted and slightly seasoned. The eggs were slightly over for my liking but still runny. The Hollandaise was a surprise, as it was a lighter version that wasnt overpowering. It was really about melding all the flavours together,.Β
The size of the meal is probably perfect for brunch or light lunch. If your really hungry you'll want something more substantial or maybe add an extra rosti or something.
Overall a very pleasant lunch and I'd recommend going their for breakky or brunch. Β Β
Edit after 1.5 years: They have picked up their game SO MUCH in terms of food and service. Up to 4 stars from 2.5. The brekkie wrap with bacon and egg has to be one of the best hangover foods ever!
We live around the corner from this place and really trying to make it our local but it's not happening. Inside seating is dark and stuffy so we've been sitting outside during warmer months. That is if we can avoid that table in front of the window that gets the greasy hot air from the kitchen vent. They close at 3PM on weekends, which is unfortunate as most places around here shut the kitchen at 3 but stay open till 4 for coffees. It takes ages to get an average $3.70 take away long black in the mornings. Service is also quite slow, many times we had to walk in and get a menu ourselves as nobody brings one. Decent food but for my daily coffee i walk past this place.
Our favourite local. Best eggs benny in town, have it with rosti instead of bread for a lush breakfast. Good coffee and juice. Lovely staff, great service and nice place to unwind, relax and read the paper on a slow weekend morning.
Coffee is always excellent. Skilled barista's who ensure a very high standard. Menu is varied and consistently delicious!
My personal favourite is the french toast and bacon.
Good local breakfast. French toast is a house speciality along with the bacon and egg roti. Kitchen could try and bit quieter when they wash the dishes though.
Amazing and quick coffees! Delicious variety of food ready for takeaway whilst on the run. Healthy salads like quinoa as well as vegetarian options is a bonus. All finished off with a balanced diet of a strawberry cruffin :) Cheers guys!
First time at this cafe on the weekend. Β It was quite stuffy/hot inside, but then the outside had people smoking which was a real turn-off. Β The coffee was great, I had to order quickly so didn't get to peruse the entire menu, but they didn't seem to have many vegetarian options at first glance? The staff seemed a little distracted at times, but on the whole the service was good but not brilliant. I'll come back again for a second try, then review again.

Very impressed with this cafe! We arrived at 2:45pm and they were only 15 minutes away from closing, but they were still willing to seat us and let us have our brunch without hurrying us at all. We felt guilty for going in so late so we ate our food as quickly as possible. The big breakfast was ENORMOUS - the scrambled eggs were piled up high on the toast, it was the biggest serving of scrambled eggs out of all the brunches we have had in Melbourne thus far. Maybe they wanted to use up their eggs for the day as we were the last customers? Just kidding. We also really enjoyed our drinks - among the best coffees and hot chocolates we have had. Smashed avocado is also worth trying, but don't order it if you don't like red onions. I personally like it a lot. A fabulous quick feed today and thanks so much for accommodating us last minute. It's not far from the Yarra boulevard and we took a walk there afterwards as the weather today is amazing, I suggest doing this after the meal to walk/jog off the carbs!
Smashed avo is delicious, add the chutney, it's awesome! The coffee is great and takeaways are quick if you're in a hurry.
Staff are hit and miss, some are lovely, others don't give you much.
We had been looking forward to going to Penny House for breakfast for ages and finally did it today. We were very pleased. The food was very good, well cooked, plentiful and good ingredients. The staff were nice and the open kitchen seemed to be staffed by happy chefs! It was busy also, when we arrived we got a table straight away however at times it looked like there was a small queue. The price was reasonable, especially given the generous serves. We didn't feel rushed either. I had the big breakfast which was very good, I would get it again.
Delucious breakfast!!! Had the Mexican fritters and French Toast with banana and maple syrup. Funky little cafe out of the way. Get there people π
Always consistently good. Have been coming to Penny's for a few months due to a work contract. Have tried pretty much everything on the menu and it is always consistently good. Our favourites are the amazing poached eggs and rosti and best chicken parma ever...love the homemade chips. The bought in almond croissants and the homemade Portuguese tarts are amazing! Staff are always great to deal with and coffees are consistently good - I'm a bit of a mocha fan and Penny's do a fab version!
Beautiful venue, lovely staff and amazing food. Breakfast all day.
Great place
Steve the chef turns out some gorgeous breakfast!! Great quality, quick and tasty! I'll be back!!
Excellent food good coffee and ambiance and friendly staff. That's all one needs really
Simply delicious. My husband and I had breakfast at Penny House this morning. We were driving past and it looked great. The staff were welcoming. The cafe is immaculate. The food was simple but perfectly cooked and delicious. I had the smashed avocado and it was tasty and fresh. Th poached eggs melt in your mouth. It is an open plan cafe with the kitchen visible which I really like and it also means you can thank those who have prepared your food.
Great Chai too!
Great experience all round.
Best scrambled eggs and coffee in Melbourne. All staff are friendly and welcoming.
A great little spot in Richmond. Going out for breakkie somewhere in Richmond where the staff aren't pretentious & actually give a damn is getting trickier by the day, thankfully Penny Hse fills the gap.
Had a yummy breakfast there this morning - the fruit salad was fresh, and croissant was lovely, think it might be from Noisette bakery which is always delish. Hubby had the lamb burger - tasty and served on a brioche bun which I like.
Cute vibe, solid food & standard prices make this one to visit.
Great!!. This place has great coffee (BONUS: they start doing take-aways at 6am!), you always get the same great service! Lovely staff! Breakfast was awesome, can't wait to go back at lunch time for the mini burgers!! Personal Favourite for sure!
Great Coffee. Killer Chai Latte - Service is always friendly and prompt - Have not had the pleasure to eat here, have only ever had coffee however the food all looks really yum.
Really good! Defiantly worth a visit I will be back! The mini burgers were great and my partner had the scrambled eggs which were really good! Great juice, good service! Tick!
Great big breakfast and the coffee is awesome. Been here about 6 times now and have never been let down by service or quality of food. Excellent little adventure. Any day of the week!
Just great!. Come here all the time and I have never been disappointed. Smashed avo on toast is always a winner. Can also recommend the french toast with bacon and maple syrup. Sometimes difficult to get a table as it's quite a small place, but staff will always try their best to get you a seat asap.
My partner and I came here for the voucher purchased on living social. The experience was great. We both love the coffee! The place looks clean and welcoming. I suppose the only downside for this place is the oily food. The oil from the hashbrown was drenched in oil. Having said that, we love the place and will definitely return for more.
A great addition to the cafe scene. Down to earth type of cafΓ©. Great coffee. Friendly and helpful staff. A good selection of food β designed to cover all bases, from light and easy to a bit more substantial. Accompanying this is a cabinet with items from focaccias to several hearty (and always delicious) salads. Have always enjoyed the smashed avocado with roasted tomatoes and vegi stack.
Great cafe!!. I went to Penny House on the weekend for brunch and LOVED it. I heard really good things and wasn't disappointed at all. The atmosphere is great and the service was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive staff. I had the smashed avocado with roasted tomatoes and it was delicious, coffee was great too. Can't wait to go back!
Loving penny house!! Veggie stack with poached egg is awesome!! Great service, food and coffee. All round a fantastic cafe!
Have been getting coffee here for the past few weeks and it's been great, service is excellent and friendly, remembered my face quickly for that personal touch. Amazing chicken schnitzel focaccia's too!
I've been to Penny House for breakfast and lunch over the last couple of weeks and really loved it. They have a great eat in menu for both breakfast and lunch, I especially liked the Eggs Benedict. They also have fantastic tasty and healthy salads to eat in or take away, perfect to take back to the office. There was even enough left over of my serve to take home for dinner. Lovely staff and great coffee too.
I went in for lunch and had the chicken burger with smashed avacado - one of the best I've ever had. Simple, honest, amazing food. Being the same guys from 7 Grams, they also do a damn fine coffee. I'll be making this my new regular
Great place for a quiet little coffee or light meal! I take a couple of participants from a disability centre there each week, and its great! The owners are VERY understanding and accommodating and welcome us every time. Thank you, and we will keep coming there
It was my first time visit to this cafe and I had a coffee. Great coffee I must say. Most of all great Customer service . My client forgot his purse. They were waiting for us till then and kept our stuff safe.
When I came for a coffee next day they handed over me our stuffs. What an amazing staff. β€πThey were looking for us every day .
Thanks would be visiting soon !
