👍 Good food decent coffee. Having said that in Australia it should be mandatory now to declare if you are only using 100% Halal meat which they are. As an Australian I do not want to promote Halal economy. People often mention coffee, good, cafe, service, recommend, delicious, lovely, friendly,

    Great place to visit for the locals in Reservoir 3073. The staff were amiable and easy going. The food for a vegan style had flavour, and coffee was a killer. I recommend visiting if you want a lovely aesthetic looking cafe with great food and vibe in the northern area. Thanks

    For $25 I expected a bit more from this Spanish Open Omelette, but I ate thinking I could have just made this at home and saved my money. Music was too loud, and there didnt appear to be any noise absorption features. On top of that, the juice drinks are whizzed up behind a barrier in the dining area, so I felt like it was noise upon noise. Place looked nice though and the staff were friendly. Coffee was average. The menu had many options as well as dietary considerations. Dont see myself returning any time soon though.

    I tried their hot cakes. Food was okay. But the behaviour the owner or manager, a balled tall guy was extremely bad. I am new in this reservoir area and was exploring cafes. Went to this one with excitement but little did I know that the guest treatment is based on colour of your skin. I did not just ordered coffee, I spent $27 for food and coffee for one person over there so I took my time to sit. However after 30 mins I was asked buy this tall balled white guy, if I wanted to get the food as take away. All this while he was continuously starting at me and giving me like as if I am taking too much time. I also saw the other girl who was serving, starting at me, when this guy went to her to say something. Also this guy was treating other people from his own background (white) in most perfect way. He told the what were the specials for the day, while I was not given any options like that and made to feel as if they never wanted to serve me. May be their food was decent but their behaviour was the worst. I won’t return to this place and will not recommend this place to anyone.

    Good little Cafe in in the housing area. Good for pictures with fresh flowers on the tables and wall(if that's your thing) Food was fresh and delicious. Tried the juices, freshly made, refreshing on a warm day.

    Amazing place to eat in the heart of Reservoir. Would recommend for people with dietary restrictions due to a large amount of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options.

    Great local cafe serving a variety of dishes to suit everyone's taste buds. Staff are welcoming and friendly and the portion sizes were generous and tasty. One downside which wasn't clear on the menu is that they do have a weekend and public holiday surcharge, which the notice of this is only stuck into the EFTPOS machine. I'm more than happy to support business that do have this surcharge, however do feel that this should be clear on the menu.

    This cafe is an absolute delight! A hidden gem that stole our hearts from the moment we walked in. The All Board and Spanish Omelette were a taste sensation, surpassing all expectations. What truly set this place apart was the extraordinary care and attention from the team. They went above and beyond, ensuring every moment of our brekky date was unforgettable. It wasn't just a meal; it was a culinary adventure crafted with love. Hats off to the incredible team for turning a simple breakfast into a dazzling, memorable affair!

    I'm a coffee connoisseur and I can tell you that their coffee is legit. I was searching the area for a good cuppa and thought I'd give them a try. They told me they have their own blend and I ordered a small magic, extra hot. The temperature was perfect and it haf that creaminess. The barista definitely knows what's going on and treats their coffee with respect. I highly recommend this place!!!

    A really nice and reasonably priced cafe! Food and drinks came out fairly quick for a busy Sunday, would go back!

    Our favourite place to come for breakfast and coffee! Food is delicious and coffee is always made perfect.

  • 5/5 Nicola A. 1 year ago on Google
    Me and my family just ate here for the first time. The food was fresh, well presented and delicious. The service was 10/10 and when my daughter paid the owner he gave her 2 free desserts to take away. I am so impressed as I have never been treated that good at any cafe in Melbourne!!! Cheers to you guys!!! ❤️

    The cake was great, quite large good for sharing ✌️ I love the coffee. The shop sells coffee beans as well .. I bought it once soo good but a little bit expensive .

  • 2/5 Rachael M. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ll be honest, that was disappointing. For $62 (which included the 10% surcharge) you would think it would have been pretty good. The positives: beautiful cafe, some of the staff were lovely and the batch brew was nice. Latte was okay. The negatives: over $60 for the granola “special”, pancakes and two coffees. Pancakes came with the bowl literally swimming in a syrup. Incredibly sweet, almost like cough syrup. I had to ask for another plate so I could move the pancakes over (couldn’t eat half the fruit because it was drowned in the bowl of syrup). The fruit in both plates wasn’t cohesive, we had the exact same fruit? Including cherries with pip and stems… They kept screaming to each other from one end of the cafe to the other? Bizarre and not very nice to be next to. No one asked how the meal was otherwise I would have said something.

    Love how there are so many cool cafes sprinkled around Reservoir now. Have been into this one @gellibrandcafe a few times before and have loved it. Look at the gorgeous fit out! It’s stunning! Love the salmon pink tones and the gorgeous pastel accents. The archways and hanging plants and blooms really make for an eye catching and spirit lifting ambiance. So many delicious all day dining options but my favourites would have to be the Chilli Scrambled Eggs and the Slow Pulled Beef Eggs Benny 🍳 Coffee is always on point, and also their Chai and Beetroot Latte I’ve been told. Go check them out if your Northside, you won’t be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Robert H. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food, friendly service, lovely interior. My new local favorite! Had the vegan scrambled eggs, perfect flavors, not too oily, we also had the hot cakes which were awesome (can easily be shared between 2 people), the snickers smoothie is superb (awesome flavored and not too sweet), also pulled pork on rosti was delicious!!!

  • 5/5 Kat C. 1 year ago on Google
    We really enjoyed our experience here. The server was lovely and even catered to my husband's particular breakfast tastes. The food was delicious and the serving was quite generous, good coffee too. It's a personal preference, and may not be a normal thing, but they had lilies on the table which had a dominating scent which was not my favourite, but other than that I would go back in a heartbeat (and hope to go back very soon!) Highly recommend!

    The team here are super friendly. Always ask for the specials because 99% of the time- it’s really really good. Definitely try out the sodas! Come for the good coffee and food, leave with their ice cream!
