KarliFebruary 2, 2014Impressive 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
- NajubeOctober 15, 2014We 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 KittApril 1, 2016Great 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 BastucescuFebruary 29, 2016The 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?
Liana ZOctober 13, 2013The 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.
Nicole WoodJanuary 12, 2018I 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.
nyao foodieSeptember 27, 2016This 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.
Calvin GohSeptember 9, 2016Gin and lime cured ocean trout. Perfectly mid-rare cooked fish with amazing flavours. Love the poached eggs and potato galette.
Ton LApril 30, 2018Those 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 HUangJune 29, 2015Must 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 ZulkafliJune 25, 2016This sums up what I miss ! My mornings with beautiful breakfast . Soft shell crab , fresh avocado & everything else on the menu .
Joachim OoiApril 24, 2017Great 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-
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 :)
KazE MarleYNovember 22, 2015Beautiful 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 AAugust 13, 2013Love 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.
Steve GrahamJanuary 14, 2016What'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 ProwseJanuary 24, 2017All day breakfast! The chilli scrambled eggs with goats curd are top notch 👍🏼
Marisa HerroDecember 15, 2014$15 lunch box bacon & avocado baguette, mixed salad, muesli slice with Noah's juice. Awesome value & completely delish!
KTDecember 26, 2015Beautiful 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 XoxMarch 12, 2015I 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.
M FAugust 8, 2014Really really great coffee! Fresh and flavoursome breaky that you don't have to feel guilty about enjoying
ShirpsMarch 2, 2015Great vibe, super efficient service. Food looks too good to eat and the coffee is spot on.
Great food and coffee and fantastic vibe here! Ricotta pancake was amazing but massive, better suited for 2 persons.
JoannaAugust 16, 2014The best breakfast menu in Melbourne! Original and delicious! Try the ginger bread!
Cyndi ZhaoSeptember 2, 2013Coffee 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.- Stefan PietschmannMarch 28, 2015Gets very busy on the weekends, so prepare to wait for 20 - 30 minutes. The breakfast is worth it, though.

Josef HerbertFebruary 19, 2015The breakfast here is great. The eggs Benedict is super tasty and the venue is lively. The staff are also really attentive

JacquesJune 22, 2014Great opening service. Lime trout was excellent & coffee decent. They were really busy & took ages to get the receipt, needs improvement on area management
Jennifer BrooksJuly 10, 2016Great breakfast, very well done. This place was packed on Sunday morning and very noisy. Service was a bit slow, but if you are not in a hurry, it's all okay.
Ziggy LiloMarch 19, 2019The buttermilk waffles blew my expectations out of the park, 10/10 would recommend

Georg Ph. E. H.September 14, 2014Nice and huge place with good food and amazing coffee. Also a good alternative to the little cafe's around
The water is amazing here. It comes in brown jars too! Oh and the coffee may be the best I have had in Melbourne.
The Polenta porridge is not to sweet, just perfect in terms of taste, texture and great
If hungry get the Top Paddock with an avocado. All the ingredients fantastic, especially the tomatoes.
