One of the best brekkie/lunch spots! Plenty of delicious, healthy options , that’ll also fill you up for hours. Went several days in a row when I was visiting, for the kale and broccoli salad ????????

I love the space. The conversion may have been inside an old power or water transformer station. Very popular so book for dinner . Great breakfast options . Superb coffee .

Philip K

The cauliflower & kale breakfast is delicious+nutritious from top to bottom. I’d have this again. Nice efficient service . Only letdown was the long black was a bit too bitter

Mark

Great place for breakfast/brunch. I went there twice on my trip to Melbourne. Good food selection and coffee . It is a big place but service was seamless both days

M

Lovely place , delicious dishes and also the best for breakfast , after all it was worthy waiting for 40M

Allison Kaminski

Beautiful restaurant and fun atmosphere . For lunch , duck sausage roll and steak were fantastic

Olly Newport

Spiced cauliflower , scrambled eggs , curry leaf, roasted chilli , homemade flat bread . $20

Good piccolo and interesting breakfast/brunch options. High quality food. You have to queue even during a week.

Sylvia C

Slow-cooked beans were bland but the dish was filling. The hotcakes were plenty and very very filling. We could not finish them. Food presentation was beautiful. Interior is simple and spacious .

Azimuthal

Excellent food but terrible service. Sit on the counter near the coffee machine & you’ll have to beg for service. Instead, sit at tables which are zoned for service. 10 for food, 1 for service.

Stella Lai

Come in as small a group as you can or come at 1pm or later. Waited for an hour for a table of 4 but food was served pretty quickly and yumz. Worth the wait

Andres Soto

Kale & Broccoli salad with poached eggs and avocado is really good

Penelope Louise

The lamb fry up was absolutely delicious! Expect a wait on weekends, though.

Jonathan Steffanoni

Peak Melbourne caf é... can’t knock the espresso or menu. A bit fancy and very busy... almost pretentious but not quite.

Tiki P

Eggs Benedict is not your average eggs Benedict . Worth trying. Service is very efficient.

Ben Barclay

One of the best Melbourne breakfasts .

Pixie

Tried the Eggs Benedict, not too bad. The latte there is great!

Ty Le

Their kale salad is the best tasting vegetarian meal I've ever had.

melis k.

the interior is good and everything but bringing a filthy chipped cup alongside HALF FULL TEAPOT and then giving an excuse such as ‘we measure everything’ is just unacceptable!baffled & disappointed.

faten

Hot cake is not as I expected, but I loved the coffee and the staff were lovely

Alberto Polintan

Has the type of menu where you want to try everything!

Philip

Fancy , great looking place. Good drinks and snacks .

Abeer Aziz

The ricotta cake was so soft and yummy!

Arrive at 12:45pm on Saturday and the long queue is a crazy 45minutes waiting.

Kari Nicholas

The space is STUNNING and my (takeaway ) flatty a dream come true

Yi Yun Irene

I don't like my lamp but i love the cafe
