Not your usual cafe kind of food. Nicely presented, and a treat to the eyes, you see east meets west all on a plate. I would’ve given a 5 stars, but some ingredients felt to be just heated in microwave.

This cozy cafe is definitely a hidden gem ! Great atmosphere with live music to enjoy my weekday brunch. Food are well-presented, filling and delicious. The cold brew is beautifully smooth and refreshing. Good location - you can find street-parking nearby. Friendly customer service. You can tell the food and drinks are made by the warm-hearted people. Highly recommended !

Nice little suburban cafe. Good range of menu options for breakfast and lunch. It was busy, but the coffee order came out quickly. Small wait for the food and limited seating. Reasonably priced and friendly service. Would return if I was in the area.

Cosy little cafe in the Bedford Rd precinct. Nice, natural decor, with wooden tables, splashes of green and beige and lots of living plants. Food was tasty and staff were friendly but there is no table service, just pay at counter upon ordering. A bit echoey inside if there are other diners, our group found it to be a busy and popular place for coffee or meals. 2 hr street parking available out front.

Only had a magic coffee but it was really good. Getting hard to find good coffee these days! Edit: went for brunch and everything was cooked well. Will definitely come back!

Friendly staff , amazing food and great coffee. What more could you want. The breakfast muffins and big breakfast is amazing. Great value for money too. This place is super popular for a reason. They tick all the right boxes for me and I'll be going back again and again and recommending to friends and family. You won't be disappointed. Keep up the great work

Cosy atmosphere, with indoor and outdoor (dog-friendly) seating. The menu is of a medium size, which I prefer as it usually means it's highly considered – which is reflected in the food itself. The flavors, presentation, and serving size could not be faulted. The slight Asian influence on each of the items was fresh, modern, and elevated each menu item. In particular, the serving of Prana Chai was impressive, with more flavor than other cafes. Hidden gem is right, will absolutely be back.

Sensational lunch the BLAT one of the best ever.. Fried chicken with spicy mayo slaw on turkish bread..very yummy

Got coffee from here yesterday and it was amazing! Really yummy toastie too :) can't wait to go back again!

The chef is passionate with the dishes he creates. These are absolutely fresh as, and, oh so tasty. Whenever I am in the area I like to go for breakfast or brunch here. Fortunate Son is definitely an excellent find in Ringwood East.

Unexpected gem. Stumbled upon this unassuming, quiet cafe and was absolutely blown away by the quality and taste of the food. Menu is fairly small, but the execution is flawless.

Happened to visit this lovely cafe early morning when our Cricket training got affected by the wet weather and this visit definitely compensated for the missed sports today. - lovely staff - amazing coffee - enough car park lots in the front (note: well positioned for not disturbing the traffic on the Bedford road.) Will keep visiting this cafe whenever our Cricket gets cancelled due to the tricky weather, just to come out of the pain of missing the game.

Good coffee + generous portion + fresh ingredients. What's not to like? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Very friendly service

Highly recommend this cafe, the coffee was good and the service friendly, their burger was the best burger I have had.

Absolutely love this place! There coffee is delicious and service is great!

Great food and coffee

Very good coffee and a good environment for Breakfast

Good coffee but expensive @ $4.50

Good in every way. Love to find hidden gems like this that do the basic things for brekky, right.

excellent coffee, a little slow though when ordering

Killer baked eggs and spectacular coffee. I was really impressed with the level of service here. Lucky its walking distance to me as I'll be back.

Food is topnotch! We ordered 2 of the best B.L.A.T. sandwiches this side of town, generous with the bacon, avo and tomatoes, and lathered with a delicious sauce. We were a bit disappointed after walking nearly an hour to get here because they aren't doing table service and are only offering the limited takeaway menu, something that should be advertised. However, you're free to sit with your takeaway at the tables set up inside the shop and outside. All this doesn't seem to be a problem; it was teeming with locals and numerous paramedics, obviously a favourite stop. As it is with the FSC team, it's always a comfort when baristas and servers are familiar with their clientele, their smiles obvious behind the masks.

full of loyalty customers - that's the first impression which proven this cafe to be one that is worth to visit again and aagain with good deals! my friend and I were dining on an early Sat, staffs are friendly, flexible and helpful, helped moved tables while considerating others' space. Ordered a siracha brekky burger with an oat cappuccino, both were delicious~ coffee bean tasted darkly roasted and the aroma is still through the sweetness of the oat milk. easy to park around the area with parking spaces on the side of the road or small sweets nearby, will come back~

Ideal place for family and friends gathering especially with theor beautiful garden set up. They serve deceny good food and coffee. Friendly cafe crews as well. 😍Will definitely be back again!

Coffee was great. Fresh bakery. Small avocado was nice but expected two poach eggs not only one.

Just brilliant! The food was superb, the coffee delicious and the ambience lovely. Great staff and music too - the only teensy thing is that the seats are a little hard, but if they weren’t then people would probably just sit in here all day :)

We recently had lunch here with my toddler and the staff were amazing with her - even gave her some free fruit. Also food was very nice!

Good coffee, really good breakfast. The staff were kind, helpful and accommodating to our short availability to eat.

Great food. Generous portions. Lovely staff. Friendly comfortable feel to the place. With lots of plants around. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Consistently good food and coffee. We love the Siracha burgers and the carrot cake is one of the best we've had. Very friendly staff.

Appears to be a change of owners. Tables were unclean, no table service anymore and people working there clearly uninterested in customers. Owner was even doing push ups against the front counter! Food very average. Cafe used to be a great place with fabulous service, we won’t be returning.

This cafes vibe is always on point. Decent coffee ~ sometimes I find it to be burnt when they are in a rush. Quality over quantity. Great food 👌🏽 Keep it up!

What an amazing find. I travel out of my way every day to get coffee from here. By far the best coffee I have ever had. The service is impeccable and the food is spot on. Denise has the best café that I have ever come across and recommend to all of my friends and colleagues, who all agree.

Fantastic cosy cafe, delicious food, great coffees, friendly staff, lovely owner!!

I love this place soo much because you get good food and they are also friendly too

Really friendly staff and beautiful coffee. I’m a decaf drinker and this is often overlooked as a legitimate choice. They have a small yet luscious menu and, they’re switched on to reducing landfill. Big tick ✔️ Sweet courtyard our the back as well. Highly recommended.

I live very close by didn't realise , the shop changed owners about 4 years ago haha Went for a coffee and it was amazing quality, will definitely be back for more coffee and to try there menu options 😊

Awesome coffee and open early too!

I had coffee couple of times at this beautiful place. Friendly staff and tasty coffee made me to go there each time. Highly recommended

Good brunch spot, away from the hustle of Eastland. Food service was great, we like their rosti and polenta. Their staff accomodating and pleasant. It grew quite busy while we were eating, so a popular spot with the locals!

Great burger! The fried polenta and the bacon were cooked to perfection, lots of mushroom and the balance of the sauces/bread was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed, and looking forward to coming back :)

Great food and coffee.

Came here with my partner for breakfast. The café has good parking nearby a small but decent menu and enough seating if you need more space for a larger party. It caters to children as well. The most stand out element was the table service. Staff were friendly and attentive and they made a decent cup of coffee. The food while tasty was not exceptional. Googles star rating system once again make it hard to give this Café a proper score. I would happily eat here again

Staff are fantastic as is the coffee. We’re very lucky to live close by and go regularly for brunch. The coffee and brekkie burger deal is great for work mornings!

Absolutely loved the sriracha breakfast burger. Delish! And the chai is full of spices.

Great atmosphere, easy going feel. Hidden gem in Ringwood East/ Heathmont. An absolute favourite for coffee, lunch and a green outdoor setting at the rear.

Great food and coffee

Food is delicious, service and staff are impeccable :)

Lovely breakfast burger and coffee

Coffee was good, staff were. Accommodating in getting us an appropriate table out of the sun (the first table actually was unstable but we never mentioned that). Food was great, good flavours and our choices balanced between all parts of the palette. Would come here again in a pinch.

Fab little cafe serving great coffee and lovely friendly team. Keep up the good work guys. x

Delicious coffee and really nice service

Great coffee and very friendly staff!

I go there a couple of times a week for a breaky burger and large cappuccino and have never been disappointed with either the food/drink nor the service lovely staff never rude or arrogant highly recommend going to this cafe you shouldn't be disappointed.

The brekky burger & chai are my favourite!

Great food and service, lovely cafe

Generous serving, friendly staff, fun green plants in the lil shop, we love it here from end to end. 🙏🏻🙂

Super friendly staff and great coffee.

Hands down...best beef burger I’ve come across and I’ve had a hell of a lot of em. Friendly staff and fantastic service!!!

Awesome coffee, stopped by after work to pick up a coffee, would definitely revisit to sit down and enjoy some coffee and some of the food they have on offer. If your in the area or driving through and need a coffee highly recommend it.

Very good coffee..

Good coffee. Kid loved the chocolate milk shake. Can't wait until they can reopen fully
