What! AUD 21.5 for 2 thin pieces of pancakes with few chunks of bananas. The pancakes were dried and hard. The taste had nothing extraordinary. Too much overpriced. The pumpkin soup charged $12. As much as price is concerned, it's ok but the taste wasn't appealing. The consistency was just thick as against 'creamy' as written on the menu. Very disappointing.

This is an older style cafe that occupies a prime corner position on bustling Degraves St. It has friendly spruikers outside which I found kind of cute and not at all annoying. I found myself immediately liking the place. It’s small but you don’t feel cramped in the slightest. It’s a little noisy but nice noisy not annoying noisy. It’s old style for sure. Maybe 80s or early 90s but again it all sort of fits together nicely somehow. To complete the picture, they were playing endearingly daggy music on the stereo today. Retro plus. No hip hop on here. I think I heard showtunes at one point. I started with a long black which was quite good, certainly better than I’d anticipated. It was slightly bitter, but certainly rich, dark and substantive. I liked it. I hadn’t planned on eating but I liked the sound of the soup of the day, a minestrone, and quickly changed my mind. Again, against all expectations I found this was an absolutely delicious minestrone. It was a generous serve and very very tasty. It had heaps of flavour and plenty of veggies. The melted parmesan also added to my overall delight. The dish also came with a very generous serve of Turkish bread too. It was a terrific little meal. I think I’d rank it as the best minestrone I’ve since I used to get them from Maria’s in North Melbourne many years ago. This was a lovely fun little stop. I had my doubts about the current 3.9 Zomato rating but the doubts were quickly dispelled. Recommended.

Service was friendly. But its very small space and the fan smells of something awful. Its near the front door so don't eat near there. We got toastie sandwiches and thought was pricey as the bill was 40.00. But service was speedy.

Keep eyes open when paying your bill! We had a lovely day and decided to go for snack in the late afternoon. Service was very good and guy was friendly. Five stars to him. Atmosphere was buzzing as it was busy time during Australia open. But when I went to pay the bill by cash and asked for discrepancy, I have been told they have surcharges on weekend!!!??? Even so, you would expect 10% but not 15% or 20% surcharge. Are we in America!? Not happy and don't think we shall return there.

Expensive price for mediocre food. I got 2 slices of french toast (inc. banana and bacon) for $17.50. And my friend got Eggs Benedict for $19. Both were mediocre. Filling but due to quantity not quality. The chai was $5 and ok. Very thick and creamy. It's a little hyped I think because of its location. Service was good (ish). Super accomodating when we wanted to move inside away from the smoker on the table next to us. But when paying the waitress kept asking for 80c 4 times even though we told her over and over we only had a $50 and she acted like it was a whole issue.

Although this bar is placed in the fantastic location, we did not enjoy the bar. Food was too expensive for the quality they offered. I ordered a salad, where I unfortunatelly found many little bugs on the green leaves. This does not make me feel well, when I have to watch the wild life of insect right in my plate. Location was great, but the bar is maybe better just for sitting, drinking a coffee and enjoying the Melbourne athmosphere 🙂.

Delicious food and friendly service. The chef was having issues with the poached eggs, so we had a bit of a wait, but staff were super friendly and kept us informed as to what was going on. This is one of our favourite places to have brunch in the city!

Melbourne’s most iconic street to have brekky and this one doesn’t disappoint! Lovely coffees and delicious food! We had our plates empty in minutes 💜

If you want amazing coffee, delicious cakes and treats and delightful hospitality this is a must go to. We had treats and coffee from here everyday and it was by far the best frappe and cappuccino we got on our trip. Staff are super friendly and even taught me a lil Greek, when ordering my coffee. Can not wait to visit again.

I came here in 2019 and loved it, came back today, coffee was cold, really weak, the waitress was pressuring us to buy food, even though we were just after a coffee, it took forever to pay, and ended up costing $14 for a flat white and a mocha! Bit of a rip off an get way better value and better atmosphere elsewhere

Exceptional service and delicious food. The cafe was super busy and they were understaffed but the waitress had a smile on her face the whole time. Will definitely go back

Took half an hour to get food. They also said they are having trouble with poached eggs and asked that I order fried eggs. They came out undercooked and I got food poisoning from them. I would not recommend anyone go here

Really good friendly service and delicious food in the heart of the city!

This restaurant is on perfect place and they know it. Prices are high, it’s full of people and taste of the meals is in the middle. We were sitting outside and we didn’t have much of space, they have tables too close to each other. Anyway, staff was kind and we didn’t wait too long for food even if it was full of people. So it’s nice to sit there once, but I think I will never go there again, there are plenty much better restaurants around Staff - 4* Food - 2* Prizes - 2*

For dinner I had spaghetti with meatballs the meatballs were light and fluffy and the pasta was just magnificent I rated a 5/5 #mealforameal

Super lovely staff. Kurt helped me with a replacement when I found the coffee didn't have enough kick and made me not feel like a douche about the situation. And my replacement coffee was absolutely perfect. Made my day.

Shockingly bad food, expensive & average experience! I ordered takeaway lunch today - 1x chicken quesadilla, guacamole & coffee. In short, a couple of key items on the menu you would think a decent Mexican restaurant would excel at! I waited over half an hour for my food and paid $37,- only to walk back to the office to find out they had forgotten my quesadillas! I walk back, got a ‘sorry love’ from the waiter and returned to the office. I opened the takeaway container only to find the most average looking quesadillas sprinkled with cut tomatoes and pieces of canned pineapple on them. Besides now cold, the quesadillas were very soft and flavourless. The guacamole was just as disappointing, with no real flavour or stand out qualities- just mushed avocado with some red onion in it (no seasoning, salt or any flavour). You could tell they have no care factor for sourcing the best ingredients. The only reason I gave this place a 2 rating is because the coffee is good. I won’t be returning here though!!

what a beautiful experience truly lovely staff who work hard on their feet all day (with a smile) I am slightly addicted to the bacon and poached eggs - somehow the Chef makes the eggs taste FRESH (sounds silly but so true) not vinegary just simple great runny poached eggs! I also noticed the pancakes and want to try them but so far haven’t been able to go past my usual. We’re all so busy rushing around with work and life nowdays. I hope this cafe does get the great positive feedback it does deserve 😁😁

🍌French Toast🍌 💥RMB Cafe💥 . Two thick and fluffy slices of bread dipped in cinnamon egg wash, bacon and grilled banana, topped with maple syrup. While down for the Grand Prix we had walked past this cafe thats on the corner of Degraves and Flinders lane every day. So on the monday morning after the race we all had brunch after checking out. I went for their French toast whoch sounded pretty nice which it surely was. Degraves has many hidden gems. Also had 2 types of pancakes which were delicious

Male manager rude and causing a scene in front of other customers. I watched him deny a customer wanting to order and pay for his own meal but was told to sit back down and his order will be taken as a group order. The customer then gets over charged for his meal and the manager was very disrespectful in the way he talked and caused a scene for no reason. It made for unpleasant experience with my family sitting watching this happen. That customer did not deserve to be treated unfairly when the manager was clearly at fault. When our food arrived it was very small portions for the price you pay and came out cold. I would not recommend to come here with the family or even by yourself.

Fantastic waitress! Was one of her first shifts but she did very well and was super friendly

Spicy eggs Atlantic was delicious and really good coffee. Recommended!

15/11/19 Service is good. Generous quantity of bacon and cheese flakes for the carbonara. Food is not bad.

Overpriced and average food! Coffee is good though (hence 2 stars). Look at the pic, this is all you get for almost $30.!!
