Went for lunch with a friend. It was a weekday and not particularly busy by the time we left. When…read moreit came to settling the bill the staff refused for us to pay separately. In addition, a 1.5% surcharge was applied to any card payment. It is outrageous that in 2019, where cash is used less and less this is considered acceptable. We asked to speak to the manager, who did not offer an explanation, remaining in the kitchen. The food was expensive for what it was, we had Calamari as a main, with 3-4 pieces and some vegetables, hardly a main. We ordered an additional side dish to make it a filling main course. Very disappointed and will not be back.

Peak! 5 min wait for a table and food 30min wait (was told up front). On recommendation ordered the beef burger with extra patty. We also had the mushroom with egg. Which had a good splash of truffle oil. If getting the mushroom... be prepared to for an afternoon nanny nap... it's heavy. As for the burger... it's well balanced with a maccas style sauce and the double patty was spot on! Not dry and with the gritty bits on the edges. Add the extra patty otherwise it would feel a bit underwhelmed... size wise. Above average pricing at $22.50.

Wow...I can't believe no one has written a review for this place yet. This is another favourite…read morelittle gem of a cafe that is just exceptional in every way. The decor is warm and inviting with lots of outdoor seating. The service is fantastic with staff being warm and chatty and very good at good service, making sure you feel like royalty. There is a community here of regulars and the staff all know them well. Inside there are pillows along two wall-seating areas so you can read a good book or just have a great place to sit with a friend over breakfast or lunch. I've had quite a few meals here and my all time favourites are the french toast and the chicken caesar salad. The french toast is done just as it should be, not soggy, but well done and comes with lightly cooked banana halves and crispy, crunchy bacon. The flavours all go so well together. The chicken caesar was perfect with all the components...crunchy homemade crouton slices, poached egg, crunchy bacon and a light dressing that was just right, not too oily and full of flavour. And of course I have to comment on the coffee.....excellent of course!!!! You know I wouldn't come back unless it was LOL It's one of the few places I can "not" order a "strong" latte and it comes out strong (as in not milky and full-flavoured coffee). Highly recommend this place and, it's owned by the same people as Cocos Lounge in Glen Waverley that I rave on about. Food is slightly pricier than a normal run-of-the-mill cafe, but the quality of the food you get is so worth it I'd rather eat here and know every meal I get I will like than to take my chances somewhere less expensive and not sure I'll like what I get.

All their sandwiches and rolls are made fresh in front of you with your choice of bread as they bake it themselves. One downside is they don't have any gluten free bread. However all sandwich fillings are fresh and tasty. The inside of the cafe is small with limited table space, however outside is bigger and is undercover with clear "walls" to protect from the wind. They also have heaters in the outdoor section, thus perfect for any and all weather :) very reasonable priced, check it out for yourself!

Ordered a burger and lamb soulaki, could tell waitress didn't really listen to order as we were asked if we wanted drinks twice! Anyway 35mins later food eventually arrived, souvlaki was a bowl of soup! Anyway apologies offered and right food ordered, again. Anyway took a bite of my burger and it was cold inside, chips were hot. Took another bite and confirmed the middle was indeed cold and mushy, damn quite hungry by now :( Took it back and waitress said nothing to me but relayed issue to chef, felt awkward really so returned to my seat outside. Eventually when she came over I was asked if I wanted it reheated?! Answer I was looking for was 'sorry for that, we have a new one being cooked now and will be ready with the correct earlier order'

I love this place!…read more With the hum of the coffee machine working in what seems overdrive it lulls me into a feeling of comfort. The owner is always in house working that coffee machine and just keeping a friendly eye on all that is going on. This place looks and feels rustic yet has some quirky and ever changing displays. There is always lots to look at, like the fresh herb display on the counter bench ready to be used. The food is tasty with lots to choose from. I love the baked eggs with chorizo sausage in a rich tomato salsa served with crusty bread. Another favourite is the warm Camembert share plate with olives, peppers and crusty bread. The menu is always evolving with weekend specials a pleasant surprise. During the weekends it gets very busy and service may be a little slow. The staff will let you know if there is a bit of a wait but the wait is always worth it.

Kitchen Table is a very down to earth, family-oriented yet stylish café. We wandered in for lunch…read moreand it was mostly hits with a few misses, so I would say this visit was more 3.5 but I am pretty sure we came on a bad day. The menu has a good variety of breakfast and lunch fare. We had the (massive) club sandwich and the baked eggs, which didn't blow us out of the water but were still very enjoyable. Service was friendly but our food took quite a long time to come out, although I was helpfully advised that the baked eggs would take longer than other dishes, so perhaps that was why. Still, the wait was noticeably long but we weren't in a hurry. The only thing that loses points with me is the kitchen being semi-open. For a good portion of our meal, the room smelled like a deep fryer. In spite of all the negative aspects of this review, I quite liked Kitchen Table. I'll definitely be returning as it's a cut above the rest in the area.

Oh my! How pleased was I to find this little gem not too far from home?…read moreCafe on Warren has a great breakfast & Lunch menu and a lovely ambience. Not too loud and a wonderful modern interior with helpful staff. I've had a bit of a sweet tooth lately so I ordered the brioche toast with caramalised bananas, topped with maple syrup and came with a side of ice cream. This was delicious! The only downside was the coffee but I have to admit I've been very spoilt lately with the likes of St Ali, Dukes & Seven Seeds. All in all, I will be back. I'm so happy I've found cafe on Warren in Parkdale.

The restaurant was quite with only a few tables on both visits. And it left me with the feeling that veryone seemed to be more interested in having a chat than serving. COW as it is more affectionately known is very child friendly with activity sets to purchase and a children's menu that has a cow on it for the little ones to colour in while waiting for their meals. I must admit I wasn't blown away by the service and the given how quite it was I'm assuming that everyone has moved around the corner to new cafe that has recently opened up. It does have a friendly feel about it, but I wouldn't rush out to try it.
