They have a great selection of light lunches available to take away as well as a full menu if you would prefer to eat in. I have enjoyed a rather tasty pear and chorizo risotto which was, quite frankly, orgasmic. On a lighter day I have taken away a crispy baguette filled with fresh ham, brie and salad. Both DEE-LISH. I tend to be picky with my coffee, but I was left very impressed - this barista knows what he is doing! It always seems to be pretty busy too which is nice to see, however part of me wishes no one else had found out about it... I want it all to myself!

The menu has some great dishes such as the baked eggs with chorizo or the egg white zucchini fritter. The setting is beautiful on a sunny day with there being a sunny courtyard to sit in or a half outdoor area that looks like a balcony of a boat shed. Unfortunately, the day I went we had a Melbourne storm come through so it was a tiny bit cramped and noisy inside. However, the coffee is good and the staff are friendly where perhaps the only downfall is the fact that everything is a few dollars more expensive than usual. Still, a really nice place to go for breakfast!

My few experiences have always been good. The girls working there are so friendly and go out of their way to make your day! You'll find plenty if seating indoors and out and a decent sized menu. But always save room for the cupcakes!! My friend has said the coffees are a bit hit and miss, but they are advertising for a barista so it might be something that gets sorted before you know it. A great alternative to the always busy Miss marmalade next door!

On the Victoria St side of Bridge Road, it's a smallish cafe with a lovely but simple fit out. Staff are super friendly, even if you are just in for a takeaway coffee. They use Industry Beans and their brews are pretty good! I've only been once for food and had the beans fish and it was delish with just the right amount of spice and chilli. The husband also enjoying his pancakes that came with figs, maple and walnuts - yum! Prices are on the pricier side of cafe fare, but if it's good quality, I think it's justifiable. The salads and sandwiches and sweets in the cabinet look very tempting also. I'll be back to try more!

Nice looking place, though the location is slightly unexpected…read more Parking is not the easiest, with one side of the street as permit parking only. Service was friendly but a bit aloof - the waiter couldn't remember who ordered what dish, and one of the orders were taken incorrectly. The coffee was good, chai latte average. I got the smashed avocado with harissa which was a very generous amount of the avo, slightly disproportionate to the amount of toast, though it allowed me to share some with my friend who didn't receive her avocado on the side. Flavour profile slightly off, needs a bit of acidity to balance the avo mix. The mushroom dish with the runny eggy hole brioche looked lovely, as did the homemade baked beans. The special of the day Nutella hot cake with cookie dough and ice cream (my teeth ached from reading the menu!) was shared between 5 of us - which ended up being the right amount. Some interesting interpretations of brekky staples here.

The menu was full of mostly sandwiches and burgers, which suited us just fine. I ordered the Roo Burger and my wife the Open Vegie Melt. We were excitedly told about what was in each meal before being told to not worry about paying yet and to grab a seat. I also ordered a strawberry milkshake, which was unfortunately a little disappointing and essentially just a Big M in a glass. I did have it topped up for free while I was half way finished though. We were the only ones in the cafe, but the wait for our food was still quite a bit, but once it did come out I was more than happy. The Open Vegie Melt was big and cheesy and the Roo Burger was absolutely delicious, not too big, but the perfect size to fill me up. The breakfast menu looked to be quite good too, containing all of your standard cafe brekkie items. We were in the area looking for a new house, so I hope that I'll be able to head back soon to try out more of what's on offer!
