We had the Skillet Shakshuka and Eggs Benedict, and both were absolutely amazing! The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The coffee was also really good. Great food, great coffee, and a lovely café experience. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Kudzai Gracious BvuteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful café with WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW coffee and veryyyyy delicious food! ☕️🍽️ Great atmosphere, lovely service, and such a cosy setting. A cafe where you can actually sit and talk and hear each other because there is no loud music playing. Definitely worth a visit! ✨Posted on Google Leonie PictonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely beer garden out the back. A really relaxed atmosphere.Posted on Google Takunda BvuteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely loved the food, it was filling, served on time, well prepared and fairly priced. Keep up the good work!Posted on Google MJCTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came in with one simple mission, try the coffee selection. Naturally, that plan lasted about five minutes before we ended up sitting down for a meal. You definitely cannot complain about the choice here, and both the coffee and chai were amazing. There is a great variety to choose from, so apparently just coming in for “a coffee” is dangerous territory. The venue is also much bigger than it first appears, with a spacious rear courtyard and entertainment, making it a great spot to settle in and stay for a while. Came for the coffee, stayed for the food, looks like Elsternwick Social has figured out my weakness!Posted on Google C.ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was served by the lovely Cole today while visiting with my friend. He was incredibly patient with us as we were having a bit of a rough day, and he took the time to have such a genuine, kind conversation with us. It really brightened our day. The coffee was amazing, and the latte art was beautiful too. Thanks Cole!!Posted on Google Corey CzokTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My flat mate and I both had the big breakfast and every single item on the plate was cooked to perfection, for example - everywhere else that I've had the equivalent have NEVER cooked/grilled the tomato correctly let alone perfectly. Thanks to the chef for making the BEST big breakfast I've ever had!!Posted on Google Innovative Interior DesignTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The food was great. I had a halumi breakfast that had avo, pomegranate and halumi with 2 eggs. So delicious. Coffee was good too. Well worth a visit. The prices are very reasonable too. There is a nice little courtyard on at the back tooPosted on Google Nathan HaynesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice burgers
