Upon my return to Melbourne, the wave of hipster café's continuing to grow has been noted. Whilst…read moreI've still got my faves in my back pocket, I am open to trying the plethora of brunch establishments available all over Melbourne. So cue South Society. What a flop. This is my other issue with being spoilt for choice, you have no idea hows it going to be until you have been, and if it's rubbish sadly you won't get your two hours back (thank goodness for the good company!) It's a fairly large cafe located on the shopping strip just off Blackburn road with ample outdoor seating. My friend and I were seated on a very wobbly table outside (which also sent a glass of water into my lap after the table tipped towards me) which was rectified by moving. Also a wobbly table, this was fixed by stacking a pile of napkins underneath. Coffee orders were taken promptly but food took ages. I ordered myself the Mediterranean eggs Benedict and my friend had the mushrooms on toast. It was about 45 minutes before the food came out and it was such a disappointment. My food was more tasteless than plain rice. It was supposed to be poached eggs, sitting atop shredded pork shoulder on Turkish bread, topped with jalapeños, coriander and hollondaise sauce. The whole thing was bland and soggy. Hollondaise was too runny and not well seasoned. Eggs overcooked. My pork shoulder was so watery it tasted like boiled pork and sitting atop the Turkish bread just meant the whole thing was soggy. The only flavour I could actually taste was the coriander. My friend who had the mushrooms was also quite unimpressed with her meal. I've added an extra star here because the coffee and ambiance are nice, but I'd recommended just sticking to the coffee and people watching.

After 3 visits, it is time to write a review…read more This cafe is fairly new and is located on the corner of Blackburn Road right of the freeway at the Pinewood shopping village. If you live around the area, you will know this location is tough and the spot has undergone several changes throughout the past few years and never quite made it. With Glen Waverley becoming busier, it is natural for the overflow of people to move towards Pinewood and with cafe's becoming "the thing" in Melbourne...South Society has taken the bull by the horns. Newly renovated with simple open plan full - wooden tables, dessert display and pot plants... With an all day menu from 7am, I have tried: Pumpkin linguini, red velvet pancakes (strawberries and chocolate drizzle) and the big breakfast (with a cheesy potato croquette). The food is on the pricier side however is in line with other hip places. The chai latte is always well brewed with actual tea and served a brown platter. The coffee always looks pretty and friends say it is an average coffee. I come here as there is always parking, the food is the same price as Glen Waverley Cafes and on par for quality. The food ranges from muesli - bacon and eggs - smashed ago - burger - pasta which caters for a variety of people I enjoy catching up with. Will be back for the convenice however the most recent visit I was a bit disappointed with the floors and tables not being well kept and food order taking some time.

Walking around the block, there were plenty of choices for places to eat, but I decided I'd give 57 Cafe Bar Restaurant a go. I'll be honest - it was a bit expensive for what it was. I mean, an $18 steak sandwich? It was extremely nice though, and the serving size was more than enough, but it's not the sort of lunch I'd indulge in every day. The service was reasonable, with staff who are friendly and polite. Décor-wise, it's a fairly modern looking place, and it's neat. It has a nice atmosphere. For me, it's a place to go for a nice meal every once in awhile.

Keep in mind, they do not take bookings however there are many smaller tables, one communal table and spots outside too. After a short wait, 7 of us took the communal table and we were served by friendly staff through our whole morning. The food, price and drinks are worth the visit as the price is lower than other newer cafes in the area and the food + drink quality is good. We had the sriracha bacon and avo smash plus the pork belly sandwich and were very happy with both items. For drinks there was Mork hot chocolate and a smooth fragrant coffee that was not too hot or burnt at all. As this place is so close to home, I will be visiting again soon!

The coffee is excellent, the food is what you expect to find in the city and the service is 5 stars every time.
