Popped into this cafe briefly for a takeaway coffee, which was very tasty and had a lovely design on the cup. When entering I noticed that they had various options in the window for takeaway including sandwiches, pastries, loaves and sweets. Would love to visit this cafe after lockdown for dine in.
Popped in for the first time to grab lunch. Empanada really delicious—could really taste all the lovely beef and veg. Hot chocolate strong (but not thick) and a little sweet. Just the way I like it. Guy serving was very friendly.
I’ll definitely be back. May have to go on weekday avoid what appeared to be scrumptiously evil pastries!
My housemates and I go to this cafe at least a couple of times a week. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and they really try to get to know their customers, including their coffee orders! I couldn't think of a better local cafe to go to, 10/10 would recommend.
Had take away coffee from here 3 or 4 times now
Purely basing this review on the coffee
But all 4 times it’s been a consistently good coffee
Owner/staff member is friendly
Nice little cafe
We came tonight for the Colombian three course dinner! The food was so yum and the atmosphere was great. We enjoyed ourselves very much. The arepas and empanada as entree were delicious, the bandeja paisa was so good and the desserts were well presented and yum. We will definitely be back! Muchas gracias por todo 😁
Latin American spice is a welcome addition to the usual Melbourne breakfast! The reliable staples - bacon, eggs, avocado, toast - are all more exciting and experiential with the mild heat of chorizo and jalapeño and the cool freshness of sour cream and cilantro. Also friendly service and good coffee.

As regular brunchers, my adult kids and I like to explore local cafes and today Indigo found this place and was eager to try it out.
Having passed quite a few cafes that were closed we were pretty happy that The Pioneer was open.
There are choices to sit out the front (on milk crates with wooden seats), inside that accommodates around 20 people or at the garden out the back. Set amongst dappled light of overhanging trees it is just beautiful especially if you have kids because of the exceptional playground.
Being kid friendly the toilet is large, unisex and has a change table for babies. Plus it’s also wheelchair friendly.
Food choices today were corn fritters, pork belly in a roll and rancheros. The iced coffee was excellent and not too strong.
Portion sizes were good and when two of us wanted to share, I was given an extra plate and cutlery.
Staff, Ella and Julian were brilliant. So helpful and very customer focussed. Was hearing about they have a regular parents group who comes here called ‘latte learners’ which is awesome.
Good parking out the front. Wheelchair friendly. Very kid friendly. Takeaway drinks and snacks too.
We will return.
The front of house are so friendly! They make sure to have a chat with you and remember when you next come in. The menu is so different from anywhere else. Tamales and pupusas are delicious! Smash Guac is another favourite for brunch. The steak is a must have for lunch.
This is the local spot jackpot. Incredible menu, Latin inspired breakfasts and a front of house team who know what's up with the specialty coffee trends. I'm so stoked to have come across this gem.
Delicious coffee and delightful Salavadorean food. I love our new local. The serves are generous and cooked with care. I've tried the Tamales and Pupusas with pork....yum!
The best brunch meal I've enjoyed in a long time!
Come treat yourself post lockdowns to either beautiful French toast, or lovely Latin American inspired food!
Great food and coffee, nice quiet courtyard as well out the back. With some huge.ourous things here and there
Surprising cafe with Central and South American cuisine. Service is slow but food is good and worth the wait. Nice courtyard out the back.
My favourite local cafe to get my regular coffee and muffin deal. Bargain at $8! Coffee is delicious and friendly service. Really nice people and can't wait to go eat breakfast there once we are able.
Update - finally got some breakfast here. Was a different menu than other cafes and I love the Spanish choices. Was tasty and filing. The only issues were the staff seem uninterested and we were the only ones there but didn’t chat or check on us at all. I felt like I was sitting in someone’s kitchen rather than a cafe. Plus it was so hot even though the aircon was on. There are so many cafes around, I feel they need to try a bit harder to keep up with the competition.

Can't believe I've lived nearby for 20 years and never stopped in ... until today! I've been missing the flavour and texture of tamales something fierce, and found them on my doorstep! Today I tried their corn-shuck wrapped sweet tamales which are served with frijoles and sour cream, and the owners were excited to meet a tamale afficionado. The taste and texture were wonderful - what fantastic, authentic home cooking! They have tables inside, a large group table, and a huge back deck for al fresco dining. My only request would be adding a savoury beef stuffing to the tamales with an enchilada-style sauce ... that would be my heaven!
What an amazing find in Rosanna! Really original menu, gorgeous staff and delightful touches around every corner in this South American inspired Cafe. Kid friendly, quiet and truly authentic. Lovely sunny courtyard or the back! So yourself a favour and stop in!
