Let's start with the coffee, whilst not the best I've had was perfectly serviceable for a sunday morning. Where this place did excel though was the food. We ordered the eggs Benny with bacon and the ricotta hot cakes. When the food arrived we were blown away. The eggs Benny had the creamiest sauce with perfect poached eggs atop a delicious sour dough infused with rosemary. The hot cakes though we're the star. Enormous with a huge helping of mascarpone, perfectly poached pears, lemon curd and sprinkled with biscuit crumbs. Order it! We will be back to try the rest of the menu. If you don't have much time grab some of the sweets from the counter.

It isn't a huge coffee shop, and it is nowhere near as crowded as some of the other ones around the place, which is also pretty cool.

However, what I really liked about this place was just the relaxed atmosphere, the quiet surroundings, and the aesthetic design.

It's a beautifully designed little place, taking over the convenient corner space previously belonging to the Seddon Post Office. An all day breakfast spot, The Little Man offers the standard array of eggs, though someone at a nearby table ordered the 'Little Man's Burger' ($16 with chips or salad, one of three lunch options) and it looked freaking delicious. Will definitely give it a go next time I head there. They're clearly catering to the young family crowd in the area, with egg & soliders and nutella/jam crepes on the menu for the kiddies, as well as a doorway ramp practical for the ever growing size of prams these days. With HEAPS of lovely natural lighting and a huge share table in the front window, it seems like it's going to become a really great place to grab a coffee, do some work on a laptop or meet friends for breakkie. Latte was really smooth & nice, and while it was always going to be tough to live up to the coffee standards of their neighbour Common Galaxia, they're not too far behind. Give this adorable little place a few weeks to relax and settle in and it will no doubt become another well loved addition to the ever growing Victoria St.

Well, I decided to go and check it out one morning, and I certainly was not disappointed. Yep, it was basically everything you could want from an inner city cafe, right down to the rather interesting menu options. Oh, and the florist that is connected to this shop certainly gives it a pretty nice vibe as well.

The courtyard area is great when it is sunny complete with a beautiful lemon tree. The staff are always really friendly, attentive and genuinely seem really happy with their jobs. Their coffee is as good as you'd expect in Melbourne from a leading brunch spot. They have some pretty cool fruit based drinks with a berry and apple smoothie, lemon and mint soda, and a number of fresh juices. Their main kind of eggs is poached (which can be annoying) but they do cook them to perfection and have a number of interesting choices that differ greatly from the run of the mill Benedict and Florentine. The potato rosti, avocado and tomato relish with poached eggs is a personal favourite.

I got the arancini balls. It came with 4 balls on top of dry mixed salad leaves and pesto on the side. The pesto and rice balls were amazing. The salad was sad and dry. A little dressing and this dish would of been a star! My partner on the other hand had the lamb cous cous salad. Perfectly cooked and fantastic flavours! Not a complaint. Our juices were fresh and large which was a nice change. The service was 5 star! We sat outside as it was a beautiful day. Unfortunately after we ordered a rather rude and loud couple sat next to us and started smoking. We asked to move inside and without question everything was picked up and moved with a smile! Outside is fantastic and great for groups. If you want a quieter meal just find a 2 seater off to the side. Mixed review but I think it depends on your choice of meal.

I love the sense of space from the wonderfully high ceilings. The front area under the umbrellas looks appealing too mixed in amongst the greenery. Unfortunately my visit went down hill from there .. I got quickly given a bottle of water .. but no cup to drink it in. Is drinking out of the bottle a thing now? Well this is Brunswick .. I got up and grabbed myself a glass. Coffee was a good temperature .. nice and hot! Though I felt a touch bitter. The menu had some interesting options on it. I decided to go with the Middle Eastern Breakfast (Poached eggs, grilled zaatar flat bread, beetroot relish, felafel, baba ganoush). It arrived in good time. Yet the poached eggs were undercooked, I pierced the egg and the yolks ran all over the plate like a burst dam. The beetroot didn't seem to belong .. it's flavour stuck out and overpowered. Zaatar spices were tasty but would've liked a crispier texture. An unpleasant aftertaste permeated too .. all in all disappointing. Service a bit mixed, some staff were friendly, others a bit cold. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing.. or perhaps my expectations sky rocketed when I saw the amazing premises. Regardless I doubt I will be back. Papers - yes Music - bouncing away in the background, easy to chat.

I'll definitely go once in a great while since the food seems pretty healthy and the ingredients are tasty. I tried their roast chicken flatbread and sweet potato salad as a takeaway.

They had a mushroom risotto that looked good. The staff was very attentive and friendly. It helped that I went with someone who was a regular.

My two friends and I arrived here on Easter Monday morning around 8am. We easily got a table inside as the courtyard area though covered seemed cold (they do have heaters there). I ordered a large extra hot skim cappuccino and got the most delicious cappuccino I've ever had. Creamy, chocolatey, hot and with a coffee kick. The bottle of water on our table was magically filled and replaced while we were not looking. Despite being known to be a busy venue, the wait staff were patient with us as we made up our minds. Having an all day menu made it really hard to decide on options. We settled on the following: 1. Eggs Benedict with hollandaise sauce - two large beautifully poached eggs delicately covered in hollandaise sauce on a crusty dry bread (negative). Though delicious my friend who has eggs Benedict frequently was not impressed. The bread was very tough. 2. Goats cheese with smashed avocado on sesame toast- was quite bland and the toast didn't seem to add any flavour to it. The goats cheese didn't have a strong taste 3. Corn cauliflower with kimchi sour cream sauce fritters - the best amazingest fritters I've ever had. They were massive and so so satisfying. I couldn't put my fork down and inhaled most of it. The juniper trout on top though looked like salmon to a seafood amateur like me was amazing. It wasn't smoky but just had a delicate flavour. Perhaps it was the vodka. Decent portions. Bring your appetite! amazing service and omg omg they do split bill. Oh and the counter is dotted with yummo muffins and other sweets. And affordable. Three coffees and three dishes came to 64 dollars or around 21 each.
