Breakfast menu - Nov 2012
Samuel L.

Dundas & Faussett faces what seems to be ever increasing competition for the latte sets dollar. The neighbouring businesses have progressively converted into deli's and cafes over the past few years. They don't pretend to be something they're not - offering up honest breakfast and lunches at a range of tables both indoors and out. The Breakfast Bruschetta at $14.50 is a hearty but healthy choice which is to me, their signature breakfast dish. Take the kids or tie the dog to your chair, it's that kind of place. Couples looking for somewhere quiet or slightly more gourmet might do better choosing something a little further down the road.

I think I'm a yuppie! I ride a scooter. I wear designer sunglasses. I like to sip on a latte. I eat here often and I enjoy it. Dam it, what have I become. Oh well, it's time to embrace what I have become, wake up, get out of bed, sit in the sun at Dundas & Faussett, read the news, smile, talk, eat, eat some more, call it a day.

Great atmosphere and plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Flowers, all yellow make a cheery addition to all tables.tables well spaced so great venue for conversations. Staff friendly and very helpful. Quiet in the late afternoon but getting busier as we enjoy our drinks.

You know, until I decided to write this review, I was always pleased by the mystery this cafe's name inspired. Who was Dundas? Who was Fausset? Were they friends, lovers, partners, enemies? Many's the Sunday afternoon I've sat there, enjoying my breakfast, pondering the question. But yes. This cafe, on the corner of Dundas Place and Fausset Street, is one of the good ones. And I'm not just saying that because they do breakfast 'til four PM. (Although, yes, that alone would endear me to them.) On most sunny days the cafe owner sits out in their spacious outdoor area, chatting and smiling at customers. At the same time, though, he's not one of those clingy types who insists on being your best friend. The food's good, although there's nothing amazingly original there. It's standard cafe fare, done well.

Great atmosphere, great food! I had the chicken caesar salad and a mango smoothie, both were exceptional! Bec had the lamb wrap and chips, the wrap was very tasty by all accounts and the chips were to die for! Definitely worth a visit for brunch or lunch!

So gosh this place has been around for a long time! Bit of an Albert park institution. It is big - big inside and loads of outdoor seating which is nice. But it still has a small cafe menu! We sat outside which was lovely and had a good coffee. My breakfast was fantastic - baked beans and chorizo in a pot with sourdough and feta on the side. Great combination of flavours! Service was good too!

Soft shell crab burger is so amazing! Thanks

Do yourself a favour and check this gem out. Best coffee on the whole strip. Soft shelled crab burger is delightful as well. Friendly wait staff.

Not sure about this place. Been here several times as we have friends who live in the neighbourhood. Service is great. Happy, friendly, useful staff. Prices are average for a yuppie eatery in South Melbourne.

Scrumptuous and beautiful food. Wonderful service (if you are very patient and almost jump up and down to get their attention :) Lovely patio area for people watching in a relaxed atmosphere. Complimentary wifi. Diverse menu (all day brekkie) with reasonable prices.

The soft shell crab burger was delicious and the wedges were super crispy and the perfect amount of spicy!

We booked a team lunch here today, 13 people and we were able to pre-order so the food arrived as we sat down. Everyone was impressed by the speed and quality of the food, such a wide range of options! The staff were attentive and friendly and we all left wanting to come back! The sweet treats on the counter looked too good to resis

Brocollini on toast!
Avril J.

Sat outside under a blanket and heater and was super cosy. The service was fast and friendly. I had the brocollini and avo with poached egg on toasts and cheese and loved it, tasty, pretty and healthy!

Third Wave Cafe - Smoked lamb burger with a side of crispy golden chips. Fresh and tender ! Highly recommend

My husband and I knew we had to try Third Wave while in town, after seeing it pop up on our…read moreInstagram algorithms. We are both big fans of meat/BBQ so we were so excited to check it out!! As delicious as everything looked, we ultimately ended up splitting a BBQ platter for 1 with some pork ribs added on... and it was still sooooo much food that we left stuffed! All the meat was great, but we both agreed the pork ribs were our favorite. Outside of that, the beef rib and oink ball also stood out. One other thing that really stood out to us, was their sauces. They were fantastic! Not just what they use to cook their meats, but the side sauces. Nuclear wave was a nice habanero sauce with great smokiness and solid heat that paired perfectly with the meats. They have happy hour on certain drinks from open until 6pm on certain days, so be sure to pair a beer with it!

I have never experienced such powerful food. Absolutely…read moredelicious. A meat platter that prided itself in higher qaulity. It just felt like they were giving it 100 percent. Such a blunt but exceptional approach worthy of the rating I gave it. Onion rings were crunchy and impressive. Wings were beuitiful. The sauce, in multiple occasions was at the perfect level, they didn't make it too strong. The big stuff was the most impressive. Despite its immense, Headstrong appearance the food was actually easy and enjoyable to eat and handle. Every single item was impressive apart from the bread, the buns. Which were boring. So you gotta use it to make a sandwich or something and make the most out of it. Wish I could of given the bubblegum milk shake a chance. Great atmosphere as well. Worthy of 5 stars. Worthy of paying the price that we paid. Excellent customer service. A wonderful experience from third wave Cafe overall.

He was more than happy to oblige. In fact they have a battery of power points and usb ports, presumably so people can use their devices. I ordered the chicken burger which was delicious. I wasn't given a knife and fork so, assuming this was intentional, I started eating it by hand. It wasn't long before it was disintegrating in my hands and I had melted cheese and juice running down my arms. I eventually got the cutlery from a somewhat embarrassed waiter. He was really nice though so I readily forgave him. On the whole it was a pleasant experience and I would happily go back there. On the down side the toilets are constantly running out of paper, towels and hand wash sometimes for several days at s time. In spite of mentioning it several times to the waiting staff they either forget it or ignore it. Also the coffee machine is apparently supposed to be kept on until 6pm but is often turned off well ahead of time. Chairs are stacked on top of tables up to an hour before closing. Not a good look

Steve and Matt (the faces you will see on most visits) are hilarious and encapsulate good service - they're friendly, accommodating, and take an interest in their regular customers. This alone is worth visiting Miss Jackson for, but throw in their great menu and you'd be crazy not to put this place on your list of regular brunch haunts. Breakfast covers a lot of the usual suspects - but the winner is the corn cakes with bacon, avo and chilli jam, accompanied by a strong Allpress coffee to wash it down. The corned beef sandwich with pickles makes for a sturdy lunch and the home made slices and muffins are a great afternoon pick me up. A rotating specials menu offers seasonal variety - recently; a panfried garfish with a panzanella salad got two out of two thumbs up. Sit outside if you fancy some sun, at the large communal tables if you want to read the papers, or in the back room if you're after discretion. Either way, you won't be sorry.

We ordered 4 meals and 6 coffees =$95. 2 Spanish eggs which had changed from the last time we came here, a serving of the pot set avocado and goat chèvre, pumpkin bread with cured salmon, and I had the lamb and quinoa salad + extra poached egg (the egg makes the meal a breakfast right?) which was a bit skimp with the lamb but still tasty. Definitely one of my fave places for a fab coffee in St Kilda!
