This place is so good, I was willing to sit outside on this cold day just to be able to eat here! I had a grilled halloumi sandwich and my partner had a chicken sandwich and shared a side of chips. Seriously, best sandwich I have ever had, and that's saying a lot especially as I used to make them for a living. Lol! All the tables were full, and people standing waiting for tables, but the food and coffee were excellent even when under the pump. Great job guys! Definitely coming back!
Come here every week with my Mum. Great friendly efficient service & the best coffee. Great menu....just wish you had a kids menu.
Visited this place recently and ordered Waffles (the oranges gave it so much more flavour ) and Chilli Scrambled egg. It was perfect. A must try.
Its a shame that buy one get one free Zomato Gold is not an option anymore. I would’ve visited more.

I like this place. It’s a nicely run retro hipster style cafe. An easy four stars, I reckon. Once it was a crappy old milkbar in an unfashionable inner northern suburb. In the old days the tastiest thing you’d get here would be a snickers bar. Fast forward 25 years and this sites hosts a very comfortable, very well run cafe in a now very desirable suburb and it’d be at home in any serious city in the world. You have to love it.
The positives here are significant. First, the cafe is on a beautiful north facing site. It’s a lovely spot on a temperate sunny day like today. The cafe also has a good retro feel. Yes, it runs to a bit of a template - old site, retro setting, hipster style menu - but the template works, folks.
Mine was a good big brekkie. I’m getting pretty good at build your own. On of my companions had the buttermilk hotcakes and found them to be superb. My other companion otherwise known as the world’s most beautiful woman had the tuna melt with a smashed. The melt was excellent. The avocado side off the scale good. Whoever prepared the avo side needs a commendation. It is so beautifully prepared - smashed, seasoned and delicately infused with citrus. It is spectacularly good.
Our concluding coffees here were beauties. Absolutely spot on excellent Melbourne coffee. You can only sit back from the table, look skyward and say thank you for the quality.
This is a very good solid cafe. It’s a very sound option.

Great little breakfast place. Terrific to see these old shops turned into nice cafes. Food was good. I had the big breakfast which was tasty without being exceptional. Coffee was very good. This is an efficient place. Service was very slick. Professional and quick with the odd quip and smile. Prices were fine. I'd happily return.
Amazing coffee!! Had the best cappuccino of my life at The Old Milkbar Cafe, even ordered another after I finished my meal. Smashed avo was really nice too well proportioned and fresh!
The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious and fresh. My personal favourite is the chilli scrambled with queso and lime avo, seriously good. The homemade croquettes are also yum!
Delicious wholesome food in a relaxed environment with good service makes a lovely weekend brunch! The crumpets were also amazing, will be back for more.
My favourite cafe! Really friendly staff and yummy food. I love the big portions and the coffee is great. I love that you give a generous amount of avocado for the price however I wish you would leave it out of the fridge because it’s not very appealing eating cold avocado.
Sat in the inside outside part beautiful day. I loved the chilli scram eggs & my friend loved the smashed avocado. Our new local 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻we will return
Unique space for a cafe. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was chill and relaxed. Good food as well, I enjoyed the chilli scrambled eggs with the chai latte. Will come back for sure
A good cafe. Nice rustic vibe. No other cafes in that exact area, so a good move to open there.
It used to be called The Succulent Lady (they had succulent plants there as part of the decoration).
The service was lovely, felt very looked after. Great breakfast food I had the eggs benedict filled me up nicely. Also the outdoor section is fantastic nostalgic primary school styled chairs
Best breakfast I've had in years. I enjoyed the Chilli Scrambled Eggs and as a very welcome change it wasn't the chilli eggs and basil pesto you find nearly everywhere these days. It had fresh chilli and spring onions with a side of jalapeño jam. Definitely a must have. And the coffees were great to!
The Big breakfast was delicious but the mini sausages weren’t the best. Down side was that we waited a long time to place our order and while staff were friendly, they seemed to be avoiding eye contact when we were trying to get their attention to order.
Nice relaxing little cafe, food is great atmospheres good...
It was a delightful brunch. My traditional favourite was on the menu Eggs Florentine. The poached eggs were perfect. The toast had just enough butter. The spinach and hollandaise sauce delish.
The service was excellent and the meal and coffee were exactly the right temperature. Bravo
The BEST chill scrambled eggs I’ve ever had. The jalapeño jam that’s included is unreal. Good coffee and nice staff. Other food I’ve seen looks amazing too.
Best take away egg & bacon roll ever purchased.
Fantastic, fresh & thoroughly enjoyed it. Have also had really good breakfasts here. Well done 👍
Fabulous place for breakfast, lovely friendly service from the minute we walked in. Meals were fantastic & great coffee. Would highly recommend
