4.1 Milkbar & Co is…read morea 4.1 in my book. It is agreeably fitted out in the modern style. This is apparently the result of a recent renovation which has been thoughtfully and tastefully executed. The style is good but is in no sense overdone. It feels and is pleasant. It helps the mood too that good music was playing as well when we arrived. The food was great. My beef brisket burrito was recommended by our server. This was a very sound recommendation because it's a cracking dish. It's a really good thoughtful brekkie brunch dish and one that'd be very at home st any of the well rated Melbourne brunch cafes. I could barely fault it. It had just the right amount of good flavoursome meat. This was accompanied by Perfect melted cheese and great black beans. The salsa was a beauty too. Finely chopped and very flavoursome as well with even some carefully chargrilled corn. Only the bed of rocket seemed a bit rough and ready and even then my judgement might be a bit harsh. I was worried the dish might be too small when it first arrived but again I was wrong as the size ended up being spot on. There was a slight understated spice to the dish which I thought was lovely. Sadly I didn't get the chance to make enquiries about that. This was the best of this style of dish that I've had for quite a while. It really was very nicely composed and beautifully made and cooked. It had me slightly in awe actually and I'd have great trouble ordering anything else if and when I come here again. My partner had the ham cheese baguette which she enjoyed very much. She was particularly taken with the bread which were were advised came from Laurent. Our coffees to finish were excellent too. Up there with the best. So why is this place not rated higher? We can only speculate but we did find the service here a bit languid. We had to chase a server to put an initial order in. My dish was put down roughly in front me of dislodging some of the carefully arranged garnish. My milk in a jug with my coffee had little blacks things in it too. None of this is serious stuff. I gained an impression that there were a few details holding things back. We will definitely come here again. If they iron a few of the little details out, this place could easily score more than 4.

A total hole in the wall cafe place in Mt. Martha. I came here on vacation about 2 months ago from…read morethe USA. I had the French toast with the maple Canadian bacon... ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. If I ever go back to Australia again, I am 100% certain I will come back here. The maple Canadian bacon alone is worth the trip to this small cafe. As an American, I definitely cannot go back to eating the bacon we have there after I've this. I hope that many more people will be able to find out about this small eatery because it's totally worth it.

Very disappointing! First and last time I'll be visiting the supposed "Melt Room"…read moreAfter waiting 20 minutes for my toastie, it was still not toasted! The reason it was not toasted was because despite toasted items being the crux of their business they only had ONE toasted sandwich maker going! I excruciatingly watched on as the sandwich artist placed my sandwich then another 3 sandwiches one after another in the press over the course of my wait, hence continuously opening the struggling appliance. I cringed as she poked and prodded each sandwich, lifting their lids to see if melting was occurring every couple of minutes. It had no chance of doing what it was designed to do! It wasn't being given enough time to heat up to the required temp in order to toast the outside let alone melt the contents! After 20 mins of shaking my head in disbelief and drinking half my large coffee, I walked out with my soggy, untoasted, unmelted sandwich on brown bread not multigrain as advertised! All of which I may have begrudgingly excused if it was at least hot! To add insult to injury the whole ordeal cost me $21.00!!!!! No wonder this place is up for sale. Hopefully someone who can toast a sandwich and possibly afford a few more sandwich presses (just a thought) takes on the Melt Room. It has potential. I must say however the coffee was nice and the Barista very professional, polite and attentive. Their only saving grace.

Came here twice in 5 days. First visit it was packed so understandably service was a bit slow. Wait…read morestaff were inattentive and hard to get their attention to order more drinks and pay etc. Came back on a quieter day and they forgot to put our order in. It took us an hour to get two sandwiches. Once they figured out the order didn't go in, they didn't even bother to expedite it. I wouldn't come back, they can't deal with the pressure.
