Loveon Cafe has only been open since about September 2013. Tucked away in Mile End in Adelaide's inner western suburbs, they recently they placed a small A-frame sign on Henley Beach Rd which brought the cafe my attention. The sign just had the words "Loveon Cafe" and an arrow pointing left (turn left down Victoria St when coming from the City). I was intrigued, but it earned the cafe a new customer. This is marketing at its simplest and most effective. Getting to Loveon Cafe is easy. Being off the main drag means parking is simple, plenty of street side parks. Walking towards the cafe, you are welcomed by a row of neat, small potted plants and the outdoor tables. Inside, the cafe is big, open and spacious. Small tables, big tables and benches. Sit where'd you like, grab today's paper. There is a fresh juice bar, a selection of sweets at the order table, cold drinks in the fridge, and lots of tasty menu items cooked from the kitchen. Sitting outside is lovely as its real quiet. You can sip coffee, chat and read the paper in the sun on the outdoor tables. A few cars driving around, but thats it. The owners of Loveon Cafe are Bangladeshi and once you examine the menu, you can start to see the influences come through. I chose to try Bagla'r Promise from the breakfast menu. Its a small potato curry, some dhaal and two poached eggs on top served with chapati. I was pleasantly surprised to try something really different for breakfast. It tasted great, was a decent size, the poached eggs were spot on and it went well with my coffee too. The lunch menu looks like great value too with lots of options to choose from. I didn't try the fresh juice, but that is definitely on my list for next time. The service was great, the staff are really friendly. Although the cafe probably needs a fly screen on the entrance doors. If you're looking to check out a new cafe for breakfast or lunch, you can't go past this little hidden gem in Adelaide's inner western suburbs. Check it out. read more

This middle eastern style cafe is walking distance to my house, so after 2 months i decided to give it a try. When i walk in, i instantly see & feel a sense that this place has a community vibe to it. There is a mothers sectons where there is ample space for prams and mothers to sit and have coffee, there are about 20 seats available outiside and about another 20 inside. I ordered a latte and a salmon and eggs breakfast. When i sat down, i was given a water which contained many citrus fruits, herbs, apples and pears. its the little thing for me i like, but, it makes the water taste amazing. When i recieved the latte i noticed something about the spoon, it was a special looking promotional spoon for the Thebarton Bowling Club. When i questioned it they said that organisations  donate the spoons as per request of owner. When the salmon arrived, i was served it and the waiter then proceeded to grate the pepper on top of the meal, again its the little things. The salmon was on top of a piece of rye bread with spinach and pouched eggs with a minty, peppery sauce in the spinach. I would highly recommend this location for a business meeting as the community feel and the ambience of the venue is fantastic. read more

So I've been here three times and each time the owner has, as a minimum, greeted me, or made my coffee, with other staff also working!!! His name's Rashed and you'll know him because he'll engage with you and just those few seconds will make you feel valued. I'd like the place even if their coffee wasn't great but it actually is. It's on a corner tucked away in suburban Mile End in side streets. Location isn't the best but a large sign on Sir Donald Bradman Boulevard alerts you to the Café, just 100 or so metres down the street. There's ample seating and a bright quirky decor with mosaics and similar that seems to fit. It has a scattered laid back feel that's instantly comfortable. Whilst I haven't had a proper meal I've had assorted offerings from their main bench, various slices/cakes and muffins which are all lovely, but intend on revisiting Rashed and sampling more. Their menu isn't a standard Café menu either - there's coffees, juices, standard breakfast fare, an interesting but promising lunch offering, and a few surprises, like some Afghan kebabs and a breakfast potato curry! There's probably something on the menu to satisfy anyone who walks in and if there isn't I bet Rashed would bend over backwards to ensure you are appeased. read more

Loveon Cafe - Cant wait. - Restaurants Near Me - Mile End, SA

Spacious, light and airy café with a super friendly owner. Our coffees were great and the breakfast good looking. My salmon on rye was very nice. The bread was excellent, as was the spinach. The salmon could have had a bit stronger flavor and my poached eggs were slightly overdone. I heard good stories about the curry of my breakfast partner. My post-brekky lemon slice was ok; dough was very dry. Clearly this is a kid friendly place, which is great. The wall full of drawings and the kiddie corner are pretty cool. However, kids are allowed to truly take over the whole place and its furniture - in our case by climbing onto and sitting on top of (with dirty feet) one of the tall tables in the centre. That goes a bit too far for me to keep it enjoyable. read more

Shhh Yelpers I'm going to let you in on a little hidden gem in the burbs of Mile End. Cruise down Henley Beach Road, turn right onto Victoria street and at the corner of a roundabout you will spot this funky little cafe. Trust me you can't miss it! Loveon cafe does not skimp on the love! From the friendly staff that greets you upon entering, the heart warming menu that covers everything from rolls, all day breakfast, and daily specials to the cute drawings from their little kid visitors - there is a sense of being home at Loveon cafe. The little personal touches makes this place so unique, the freshly baked muffins and sweets are on display for you to admire. The staff bring over bottles of fruit infused water, newspapers are scattered on the table for you to enjoy. And how can you say no to free wifi? The food here is awesome as well, my mate always orders her poached egg with spinach on rye. I have personally been here that many times I have not had a bad dish. I love the Banglar Promise, a Bangladeshi inspired breakfast dish of poached eggs nestled on top of wholesome potato curry you can mopped up with chappati bread and dhal on the side. YUM! The lunch box menu is only $9.90 for a cheap feed and the fish burger is one of my favourite! The coffee is delicious as well and so is the fresh juices - the Wake Me Up is my pick! If you have your kid in tow and want to sit back to relax? They have a little play area for kids to colour in or play with blocks. And they will even pin up your budding artists piece on their wall - what's that there? Yep that's love! read more

Came here for breakfast with a friend. The cafe was quite cute and very busy! Parking on the side streets was relatively easy, although there were lots of cars parked already. We both wanted to order a special we had seen on Facebook (stuffed mushrooms with haloumi), but unfortunately for me, I was told that they were unable to make it vegetarian (the mushroom stuffing had meat in it and they weren't able to do a mushroom without any stuffing for some reason). I asked to swap the mushrooms for normal mushrooms instead and substitute the eggs for tomato, which was apparently not possible with that menu option. My friend wanted to swap out her eggs for spinach, which she was also told was not possible and there would be an extra charge if she wanted spinach instead. The waitress seemed confused by the modifications we wanted to make and suggested that I take the 'toast' option and add in the extras for a further cost as I wanted them (each extra is $2.90 at minimum) and it would be the same base price for the toast even though I would not be having the eggs that came with that option. Essentially, the breakfast I wanted would've cost me around $25 for just bread, haloumi and a few veggies - not cheap!!! The waitress also seemed annoyed that we were making modifications. The owner came and took over and luckily for us, put the order through without too many extra charges, which was very nice of him. He was very accommodating and made up for the service of the female waitress we had initially. The food came out quickly and the portions were decent. The stuffed mushrooms my friend had ordered had much less haloumi than the photo we had seen, which was a bit disappointing. Likewise my breakfast only had thinly sliced bits of haloumi in it. The only other criticism was that it all seemed to be cooked in quite a lot of oil and the bread was buttered quite a lot (we didn't request butter). The bread was also meant to be sourdough but ended up being Turkish bread instead (not a big deal and was yummy, but still not sourdough). Having glanced at the menu, there's also not many vegan or vegetarian options unless you're into bread and smashed avocado or mushrooms (in which case you will have to request to remove the fetta and cream cheese). Probably not the most cost effective cafe if you're vegetarian or vegan and like lots of veggies with your breakfast too. Not sure we will be back anytime soon, but it was an ok experience. Maybe we will stop by just for a coffee in the future. read more

Came here to have a coffee at 340pm (as website advised it closed at 5pm) only to be told & treated rudely by staff that "they close in 20 mins"... after trying to let them know the website said 5pm, the waitress was still unaccommodating. No coffee was purchased and we were given an unwelcome vibe. Safe to say I won't be coming back to this cafe in a hurry or recommending it to my friends. This cafe needs to put accurate details on their internet pages & learn what hospitality means. read more

Gorgeous little cafe nestled in my suburban stomping ground, has a delightfully adventurous menu (nutella sushi? Yaaaaas!!) and a huge amount of space to sprawl out amongst other breakfast-goers. Reasonably priced and groovey baby! The sandwich was super thick bread but the chutney balanced out that out, the owner was really lovely will definetly be coming back! Bit of indian flare, I like it! read more

I ordered the tandoori chicken and my friend had the kebab. After 1/2 hour, we still didn't have our meals. We enquired and it seemed that they got missed; we had them within 5mins. Both were very nice. I also liked they fact they had coconut milk coffee on the menu. Nice atmosphere. read more

The staff here is always welcoming and smiling and the food / coffee never disappoints!

Finally made it to here for lunch with high expectations. Beautiful spring day, pleasant warmth in the sun and I chose to sit outside after a few minutes sitting inside whereby I could hear every bit of conversation behind me. Not quite I'm here for. The outdoor seatings is virtually on the footpath and they are few. I can still hear the next table's conversation but somehow it got drown out with some constant traffic. The streets could serve as a short cut by many motorists from South Road to Henley Beach Road or vice versa. Location - well situated and away from the main roads hence less dust and easy parking. There are a few quirky objects place in the front to identify its cafe presence. Food - I was disappointed and was not excited by the menu and finally settled on a recommendation by waiting staff who had been rather helpful. Fried vegetables fritters with a salad of avocado and rocket leaves on top and baked beans on the base. Rocket leaves were 'old' as it had 'turned' yellow, not quite what should have been used. I must say the coffee was great. Toilet facilities- it is situated out the back of the building, don't mind its position but wouldn't be that great when it's wet, I wonder if one can then go through the kitchen to access it? Unfortunately on this visit, it ran out of toilet paper and it is only 1pm?! Shouldn't there be a supply anyway as there's plenty of storage space? Perhaps I shouldn't have too much expectations in future, but with all those glorious reviews how could I not be? I'll not be back in a hurry but it may deserve a second chance? read more

Pet friendly, great staff and wonderful menu and food choices, we visit Loveon regularly.

I was introduced to this cafe two weeks ago by a friend and have been back three times since! It's a special place - incredibly welcoming, with great staff, fantastic food and very happy customers. Fresh juices, tandoori chicken, Bhanglar fish and fresh tasty pastries - yum! Couldn't recommend it enough! read more

Had the Korean Crispy Chicken. Served surprisingly fast, very filing serve and full of flavour.

I popped in here on a whim because I liked the signage and I'm so glad I did - the service was super lovely and the homemade fruit toast was off the chain!. Real good stuff, I'd go again. read more

First visit today - quiet, kid friendly location. Very happy with the service and food. Loved the coffee.....
