EXCELLENT Based on 123 reviews Posted on Google SubashTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently, I had gone to this cafe to have coffee and lunch. Coffee was amazing with the beautiful art and so the food. What I like the most is the service, the atmosphere and obviously food. It was absolutely worth it.Posted on Google Emma ConnorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coffee was really goodPosted on Google Adhiraj SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the scrambled eggs, matcha, and a St Ali coffee—everything was fantastic! The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked, light and creamy, the matcha was smooth and refreshing, and the St Ali coffee was simply the best coffee in Elsternwick. The staff were welcoming, the service was excellent, and the café had a warm, relaxed vibe. A perfect spot for breakfast or coffee, and I can’t wait to come back.Posted on Google RAVI BOORATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the Shakshuka and a St Ali coffee—both were exceptional! The Shakshuka was fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked with delicious bread on the side. The St Ali coffee was smooth, rich, and easily one of the best coffees I’ve had in Elsternwick. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and everything was spot on. Highly recommend this café for anyone looking for a great breakfast and excellent coffee. I’ll definitely be back!Posted on Google Joy YadavTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came here yesterday, and it was just as impressive! They are serving ST. ALi Coffee, and it was absolutely fantastic—smooth, rich, and one of the best coffees I've had. I also tried the Skillet Shakshuka, and it was incredible. Fresh, full of flavour, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care about the quality of their food and coffee. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a great café experience. I'll definitely be back again!Posted on Google Zelda MicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been here a few times and thought I found my new eatery. But the last two times have been very disappointing. The service was so bad and there were only two other tables of two. We waited so long for our order to be taken, then ages to get our meal and then we had to find the waiter to order a coffee which took ages to come. I asked the waiter when ordering our coffee if he could take our plates and he said he would come back. That took 15 minutes when our coffee arrived. And by this stage there was only one other table of two left . So unfortunately won’t be back.Posted on Google AdamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came here today for the first time. We ordered an iced coffee and cappuccino which were both spot on. Then came the main event (the food). I ordered the Eggs Benedict with slow cooked beef and it was sensational. The wife ordered the Zucchini and Corn Fritters and WOW what a delicious feed. The fritters were huge and perfectly cooked. Definitely going back here.Posted on Google Cole VTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the best coffee in Elsternwick! They use St. Ali coffee, no wonder it’s really good.😋
