One of the best french cafés in Melbourne. Wonderful atmosphere and absolutely amazing deserts . Hazelnut chocolate cake is a must try. Don't pass through macarons as well - coconut one was fantastic.

The chocolate tart is chocoliscious!!! Lucky we had one saved for us when we arrived as it was late in the afternoon and there were only 2 left :) 3 ppl asked for it while we had our meals!! must try!

Tsangar

Love the warehouse feel and the large timber tables.Their cake selections is to die for so make sure you get some to take away .We had the choc mousse cake w banana/hazelnut crunch. Well worth a visit

So happy to be back after many years. Food and coffee is still good. Cosy lil' place with baked goods and fancy breakfasts :) cured salmon and poached egg was very rich!

Pasquale A

Great lil place for all day breakfast or some yummy lunch . Coffee is awesome. & the desserts .. do yourself a favour get down there & try for yourself. Staff were great & prompt. Very busy place

Sarah Vozzo

You can have breakfast and brunch there! There menu has a great range of things. I’ve had the French toast and the Smashed Avocado dish. The service is great and very friendly .

Seda Koka

Personal favourites: turkish baked eggs for breakfast and lamb salad for lunch . Very crowded especially on sunday mornings. Be as early as you can for breakfast .

Brandon Lancheros

Had the braised pork belly and it was delicious. Coffee was ok, not as good as when they serve the Colombian one though. Love the place. Be prepared to wait in the line for a few minutes...

Linsey Yew

Had the plain croissant and savory pastry - both were super yums! Awesome croissant with very flaky outside and buttery fluffiness on the inside!!

Michael Lauterstein

One of the beating hearts of Instagram food photography . I don't think I have ever seen more of my fellow diners snapping away on iPhones in my life! with good reason the food is beautifully presented

Tim B

Pro tip - sit inside on days with even a slight breeze, or you, your food and your coffee will be covered in leaves and twigs from the neighbour's peppercorn tree

Kirsten Andrell

Planning an indulgent weekend? What better way to start the day than with Brioche French toast with caramelised apples , vanilla mascarpone & orange tuile?

Andrew Lauterstein

A great well layed out open space . Croque Madam was terrific. Great to be able to sit back and watch the pastry chefs produce world class pastries in a big open kitchen .

陳玟成 Edwin Ding

Must try their truffle eggs ...perfect !

Sew Lint

Fantastic atmosphere, beautiful weather on the day I was there, and food with generous portion . superb coffee - two thumbs up.

Michelle Loughran

Recommend the pulled pork burger - one of the best brunch places in Melbourne!

Steph S

The eggs royale is great with the extra twist of tobiko (flying fish row). Make sure you turn down Hotham St to get to the front entrance.

Karen Kirby

Excellent food but coffee came really late when we almost finished breakfast . Must Try the pork belly breakfast . Good idea to come early.

Nick Burto

Amazing breakfast spot . You can sit outside under the umbrellas if the weather's warm.

Aram Dulyan

Trying the macarons here should be as mandatory as it gets. Plus they serve grated carrot as side for breakfast orders and the staff are lovely.

Seda Koka

Tea house smoked salmon salad is perfect if you are following Paleo diet .

eves

If you're a fan of peanut butter , you can't go past the Peanut Butter , Caramel & Brownie

Guilherme Augustto

Café unique Australian fashion! Brazilians may wonder of first impression, but it's worth asking the fashion house!

K W

Decadent desserts ! Mango ,yuzu , mousse with coconut base

James Panther

Great place for a weekend brunch . The smashed peas and chorizo are delicious!

Patrick Kirby

Quality of produce is exceptional. The chorizo with fetta , minted peas and poached eggs was perfect.

Mel Kershaw

Not a fan of the coffee , but the chocolate tart is out of this world. New breakfast menu is great, can recommend the jalepeno briche with beans and pulled pork .

Shen Jin Tay

They need to bring back their pork belly sandwich and their previous croque madame with the avacado green paste with mushrooms inside and rocket leaves.

Teresa Villanueva

Good place to take time, have a coffee or two with a great brekfaat.

Jeffrie Trika

Order anything here, they all good ... pricey but good. Stay indoor as those smokers in the courtyard could not care whether their smokes is annoying you

Leish F

If you're in near closing time you might leave with a box of free goodies!! Rose raspberry macaron is amazing.

Gladys Putri

Love this place, love the food, the coffee , and especially all the pastry !!!

Lisa Chan

Mashed avocado is a killer! Delicious

Rob

Great coffee , terrific food. Grand petit dejeuner and the breakfast platter are outstanding.

Celeste O

Love the breakfast platter ! Amazing brunch spot :)

Kelly Irving

Awesome outdoor courtyard - try The Avo. It's worth it just to see how it's presented

Raj DrHums

Great menu.. everything looks promising especially the desserts .

Pan Cakes

Flavors were really good but the food was slightly cold. I wouldn't recommend the roast duck crepe . Filling is alright but the crepe is worst I ever had

Alison Poy

Everything is delicious!!!

Yi Yun Irene

Second time to here. I love the dessert but wouldn't recommend the Duck crepe .

Fit Mus

should i be more polite or should i be more careful with my choice of words.. or should i change my skin colour.. coz to have a reply "whatever" from the waitress is damn insulting..

Olly Wilton

Slow cooked pork , cracking, creamed corn and jalapeno breakfast

Bon

Dessert heaven! Everything looks good and taste good here

Ben Kershaw

The eclairs and cake are amazing.. Check out the baked eggs also... Great back courtyard

JB

Caramel french toast with creme and stewed fruit absolutely devine. Very rich&sweet for breakfast though

Try the Roast Beef "Rare" Open Sandwich - It's practically a salad on a piece of bread . Delicious.
