Ricotta hotcakes here are the best! It's great for sharing or if you're greedy then you can have it all by yourself. The mains here are great.The omelette with kipfler potatoes are delicious!(picture)

Karli

Impressive menu and space! All food very fresh & well presented! Potato & leek omelette is a great way to start a Sunday! Don't miss the ricotta pancake- redic! Great coffee . Friendly service

Najube

We had the Top Paddock breakfast & the White Anchovy & Jamon Fried Egg (pictured): food is great, coffee 's great, service is great! Finish with the amazing Brownie Cheesecake for instant happiness.

Tony Kitt

Great space with amazing food offerings, you may have to wait but it's not a bad spot to have to sit outside at. If there for lunch the crab brioche is amazing

Raluca Bastucescu

The service was on point! Ordered the famous 'Ricotta Hotcake '. Holy moly no words can describe it !! It's a massive portion , so sharing would be ideal but let's be realistic who wants to share?

Nicole Wood

I had the avo smash and my friend had the famous pancakes . I had food envy over her pancakes , they looked incredible. I was very happy with my choice in smashed avo though. The coffee was amazing too.

This is one of the best cafe I've ever had. Coffee , staff , and food are so perfect for me. They have the most important thing in this industry which is passion.

The gin and lime cured trout is delicious. Comes with perfectly poached eggs , beetroot , goats curd . Make sure you have all of the flavours on your fork. Gorgeously plated food.

Calvin Goh

Gin and lime cured ocean trout . Perfectly mid-rare cooked fish with amazing flavours. Love the poached eggs and potato galette .

Ton L

Those who aren’t so into sweet stuff fret not! They now have smaller portion of the blueberry hot cake called Mini hot cake for one. So when you’re getting other dishes “why not try both?”

AManda HUang

Must mUST MUST have the hot cakes . And the steak sandwich . Contented with the both of that. Very pack so be patient and wait cuz it's so worth it.

Giana Zulkafli

This sums up what I miss ! My mornings with beautiful breakfast . Soft shell crab , fresh avocado & everything else on the menu .

Joachim Ooi

Great Latte & Flat White , Hot Ricotta Cakes & Salmon . Pork Belly actually tasted more like our Asian canned Pork Belly that we used to eat in Malaysia. -Penang Kia Food Critique-

Jacquie Tran

Top notch service, not your average breakfast fare . Great coffee made with care. Beautiful space that fills up quickly because the secret's out :P Best enjoyed in the quiet hours of early morning :)

Beautiful pour over coffee ! Nice service and good environment! Suggest go on week day! Full house on Sunday morning! Near by cycling trail and tram station !

Nicole A

Love the breakfast ! It has a long selection on the menu. Ricotta pancake was yummy. Ocean trout with poach eggs very good too. A great stop in the morning.

What's really good here is the atmosphere and the service. The food is inventive, tasty and very good looking like all the staff and most of the customers.

Ingrid Prowse

All day breakfast ! The chilli scrambled eggs with goats curd are top notch ????????

Marisa Herro

$15 lunch box bacon & avocado baguette , mixed salad , muesli slice with Noah's juice . Awesome value & completely delish!

KT

Beautiful hot cakes ! I would prefer if they add more berries to the cake , especially the bottom which I find the cake a bit dry

Anna Xox

I only stopped for a soy coffee but left with a Doughnut Boys doughnut too. Both were great! I will have to come back to try breakfast here.

Great vibe, super efficient service . Food looks too good to eat and the coffee is spot on.

Kent Ooi

Great food and coffee and fantastic vibe here! Ricotta pancake was amazing but massive, better suited for 2 persons.

Cyndi Zhao

Coffee is good, I like their home made sausage with green tomato and pickle onions . It is so good, really enjoyed when sit outside with the flowers . Sunshine....Even their hand wash gel is Aesop.

Joanna

The best breakfast menu in Melbourne! Original and delicious! Try the ginger bread !
