I was intrigued by this place because of its consistently high score and high number of reviews compared to other well known cafes close by. We were definitely not disappointed. 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. read more

I discovered Miss Marmalade Cafe via Yelp; one morning we arose from our slumber late and were in a quest of a high quality all day breakfast cafe with easy parking -- and we certainly found that! ~ Situated in a seemingly residential area, Miss Marmalade is the perfect distance away from Sydney Rd for it to not be too busy: you certainly wouldn't find this establishment just wandering around. The upside is that it seems you can usually find a table here, and you can certainly always find a car parking space nearby. ~ Extensive inside and outside friendly. Pet friendly, kid friendly, hangover friendly. Choose to sit outside in the sun, outside in the shade, inside at the front, or hide away at the larger seating area in the back. Miss Marmalade Cafe appears to previously been used as a residential house, so you have the upside of a few different 'rooms' where they offer seating. ~ Coffee seems to be a bit of a hit and miss. Mine was okay, but nothing special. They had a board up addressing the beans they were currently brewing with. This seems to change frequently, so I expect that's the cause of the variance in the coffee quality comments. They also have a board advocating that you try out a mobile app called "Melbourne Coffee Review". ~ Food was of a high calibre and presented very nicely. I ordered the ginger pancakes and they were filling and delicious. There are a number of other vegetarian options if you're not particularly good at stomaching meat in the morning -- or ever. read more

Best coffee in Brunswick, tasty foods and plenty to like about the service and space. Always packed on the weekends (even though it's a walk from Sydney Rd) so a good bet if you're an early riser and fancy a seasonly-updated menu of sweet and savoury goodies. read more

What a beautiful Brunswick spot! Strolled into Miss Marmalade for a super late brekky at 2pm on Saturday, and it was absolutely beautiful. Melbourne put on a perfect weather show, so we sat out the front, where the tables were pretty cosy, but there was such a lovely casual vibe that it was an absolute delight. I'd been told the eggs benny were some of the best in Melbourne, and I wasn't disappointed! Lovely bacon + eggs with hollandaise and a delish homemade hashbrown. Definitely worth trying! Also enjoyed at the table was the Manwhich- three cute little pulled pork sliders with a cup of chips. YUM! Coffee was really good, and the service was extra lovely and efficient. Will definitely be back! read more

Miss Marmalade - Eggs Benny. - Restaurants Near Me - Brunswick, VIC

Miss Marmalade is one of those cafes that do more than just exist, sell coffee and makes bacon and eggs sandwich. To start off, I have to mention that service is always friendly and relaxed here. Staff greets you welcomingly, they're not too cool or too busy ( even if they are) The location gives this cafe a more relaxed and slower pace although the stream of diners are plenty and consistent Come in for all day breakfast or lunch, and don't forget the selection of cakes at the counter including a Mars cake @.@ Extra points because the staff are pooch friendly -which is really nice :) read more

Hits all the marks really. Consistently great coffee, friendly staff, regularly evolving and interesting menu, comfy space both inside and out. The sweet breakfasts are always rad, especially if peaches are in season and the Peach Melba is on the menu. There's usually one or two of the hotcake/french toast/banana bread options. Savory-wise the Farmer's Breakfast is the perfect mix of wholesome & delicious if you're looking to power up for a big day or recharge after a seedy night out. Several good veg options if you're that-way-inclined, like me. Baby friendly too - They also have a big room at the back for prams with toys, etc. read more

A hidden treasure and one of my favourite cafés in Melbourne. It's a hipster quality cafè minus the hipster attitude. - the coffee quality is up there with other great cafés in Melbourne - the food is delicious and the menu is constantly evolving. They used to have simpler options on the menu but it has become more refined over time. - the service is consistently great. I don't know how they do it, but everyone that joins the staff is super friendly - the place is also great for kids, especially in the back room where there's a play area with toys. There's also a changing table and nappies in one of the toilets. There's just a good vibe around the place that is difficult to quantify... at Miss Marmy, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. read more

Enjoyed a lovely sunday afternoon brunch at Miss Marmalade's. We both ordered the smashed avocado with poached eggs and roasted cherry tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes were delicious and added such a nice sweet and tangy flavour to the meal. Decent serving size, we couldn't finish it (2 slices of sourdough as well as some rocket salad on the side). The staff were friendly and it's a cosy place to enjoy brunch on a Sunday afternoon. We went around 3pm so it wasn't too busy which we enjoyed. The Mocha was a bit too bitter for me, I would have preferred a bit more chocolate but it was ok. Will go back here again when i'm in the area again. read more

One of my favourite place place for breakfast! The egg benedict is amazing, especially the hash brown. The size might look small but it's actually filling! They got fresh squeezed juice too, which adds in. The only problem is that there isn't much space at all. Even though the area is not popular for breakfast, this place is always pack. If u got seat outside during winter, no worries at all, they got u cute warm blanket. Very nice of them although it would be nicer if they have actual heater. Definitely recommend this place for breakfast!! All the staffs are so friendly too :) always smiley and ready to help anymore read more

My go-to for an afternoon coffee these days. The coffee is always excellent - the best in Brunswick for consistency in my book. We've only done breakfast once, which was excellent, but can't talk about the food beyond that. A very cosy spot in winter, and a shady escape from the heat in summer. Another great local in Brunswick. read more

Miss Marmalade is my favorite breakfast place in Melbourne! It's tucked away in our cute Brunswick neighborhood, and has the yummiest coffee, nicest folks working there, and stupendous food. My partner love love loves the Farmers Market breakfast, and I've tries many things I've loved there-- I even brought my family here when they came to visit Melbourne & they loved it, too. I had lunch here for the first time and was equally dazzled by the sandwich I had. I'm a vegetarian and its nice to eat somewhere that the veggie offering isn't an afterthought, but just good food that happens to be vegetarian. read more

Terrible vegan menu, with no substitutions (even though they claim to be a vegan friendly establishment) our party ordered three 'big' dishes that were vegan, however they were just the regular omni options with everything removed except the vegetables. No tofu scramble, mock meat or substitutions. It was such a waste of our time! read more

Intimate and cosy. Nice get away brunch for the weekend. Love the tarts and cakes along the counter! read more

This place intrigues me. I actually wasn't a huge fan of what I ordered (the Farmer's Market Breakfast) but there were a lot of tasty things on the menu that I'd like to try. I didn't really like the corn bread but maybe it's because it's not what I was expecting. I'm originally for the US and most cornbread I've had is on the slightly sweet side. Sort of savory-sweet. The cornbread here tasted a little bland and was more on the savory side. The gingerbread hotcakes with vanilla and maple mascarpone sounds divine. I need to find someone to split them with so I can order a slightly healthier breakfast too. The coffee here was excellent and the vibe and service was awesome. I think this place has a lot of potential and I will definitely be back. read more

Love this beautiful cafe in Brunswick. The food is amazing, the staff are friendly and love that I can bring our dog and sit out the front. The Farmers Market is delicious and always so fresh. The hash brown here is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside - it is the best hash brown in Melbourne and I have tried many hash browns in town!! The pancakes are also divine and coffee is great too! read more

Great, friendly staff who deliver amazing food. The man'wich was delish and breakfast is always great. Will be back!! read more

A fair stretch from Sydney Rd keeps the traffic at bay. The sunshine comes through the trees an the spring flowers are beginning to open as residents start on their gardens. These are the sights and smells you experience walking from Sydney Rd down to Miss Marmalade, a little sophisticated establishment just far enough off the map. Seating is available inside or out, the best I found to be a cost widow table to view the street from and still get the laughter and conversation of the interior. Expect it to be full most weekends and moments of sunshine, with people from all walks experiencing the magic. The food is delicious and fresh, thought going into every condiment and serve. If the staff happen to forget an order, as I've only experienced once, the establishment is generous enough to deliver your order free of charge. It must be the honesty of the place that makes it smell so nice and tempt me back again. read more

One of the best places in the Brunswick area. The waitstaff is very friendly, the coffee is great but what makes this place amazing is the food! The bacon eggs Benny and the hotcakes are the highlights of the menu, can strongly recommend it! read more

A good cafe overall, however a few letdowns with the food takes some stars away. Ill start by saying the service was brilliant; warm, friendly, funny and prompt. The coffee was great their long black was spot on, maybe a touch more hot water for me. The breakfast was good but certainly not great. I had the herb scrambled eggs and I have to say I was excited when ordering as I love scrambled eggs full off herbs. The only problem was there was that much cream in the mix you couldn't really taste the herb or eggs. It almost had the consistency of egg helper you'd get in a dodgy motel, I know it wasn't but the eggs really were below average. The tomato relish was great which really helped. We also had the eggs benny with bacon. It was good but again not great, the "crispy" bacon was just cooked which I can't stand. The hash brown was one of the best you will ever get, eggs spot on and overall a good dish. I've been given good reviews about other items on the menu and I think with the friendly mob running the place, I will be back. read more

Delicious!!! Great breakfasts with yummy fresh ingredients , healthy tasty and perfectly cooked. Good service but this place is popular so be prepared to wait for a table - worth the wait ! read more

Great breakfast venue. I went there recently and has the smoked salmon asparagus and poached eggs Rodri thing and it was delicious. Service was a bit off but I think two staff each thought the other was running our table. No big deal. I'll certainly be back. read more

Cool and cosy cafe, with really good coffee and food. My favorite are the bacon eggs Benny and the ginger hotcakes with vanilla mascarpone but everything in the menu is great. Staff is super nice and helpful. read more

I used the inside of the hash brown as glue for my daughters kindergarten project. So glad it's a child friendly cafe!

This could have been a terrible experience ...... But luckily it wasn't at all. On a quiet weekday morning we arrived for breakfast, ordered coffee & food. Our coffee arrived and our coffee was drunk. How long is too long to wait for food?? It's that tough moment when you are thinking: surely they must have forgotten, or something has gone wrong! It's the time when the people who were seated after you are tucking into their meals & your still waiting & can't ignore it any more. So upon pleasant enquiry the wait staff admitted their mistake. They rectified it almost immediately, they were professional, apologetic & most of all genuinely sorry. When the food was delivered it was delicious& wholesome. This is definitely a place that values customer service & can be forgiven for a once off mistake. I have to highlight the mistake, in this situation it is not a negative reflection of the cafe, the emphasise was on how awesome it was handled. Can't wait to come back an try the eggs! All is forgiven & forgotten. read more

Our impromptu lunch for 8 on a Monday was a pleasant surprise with offerings of a comprehensive 'all day' breakfast and a flavorsome imaginative selection for lunch. And yes, even the simple mungo and vegetable soup was delicious. It was apparent all the ingredients were fresh. Alcohol is available and we all complemented on the various coffee's we ordered. Service was friendly and prompt Our plan was a birthday lunch at the Union Hotel over the road but it didn't open till 3. Sometimes you stumble on a gem, I would recommend at least trying this cafè. read more

A fantastic cafe, just far enough away from busy Sydney Rd. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating and the coffee is the best in the area. Miss Marmalade has been my brunch local for a long time now and my fave menu items are the banana bread with whipped ricotta and the incredible eggs benny! While there is often a line out the door, if you take an outside seat, there are blankets available - perfect for a crisp Melbourne morning! read more

Always lovely fresh food, great service, reasonably priced and amazing coffee. Always a Sunday treat to come here.

Service was abysmal, forgot our order and realised after almost an hour. Trying to get a coffee was almost as difficult as getting a meal!

Miss Marmalade is an overrated brunswick breakfast icon. If you've got kids you want to let loose while you take time over endless latte's and slow waiters, this is the place for you. If you want a quiet, pleasant eat or a quick coffee, look elsewhere. So many squealing, running kids. Such dawdling service. I waited 15 minutes on a table full of the last patron's soiled dishes before beckoning a waiter. It was at leat another 5 minutes before he returned to take a coffee order, and from there i had to ask for a menu and water. The water never came. The menu eventually did. The coffee was at least a 30 minute wait after being seated.The food was pretty good. I had the farmers market, and it was pretty tasty. No complaints there. Had to wait quite a while for it, though it was notably busy. Once it arrived I then had to go and forage for my own cutlery from nearby tables. My waiter was far from the pinnacle of friendly customer service, but i noticed that others seemed more attentive. The coffee wasn't notable, wasn't awful. I attempted to order a second but it proved too time consuming and i paid up, and went to the cafe next door to get a take away instead. It's a busy little cafe and it's not quite managed well enough to want to return. It did not live up to it's reputation and I left feeling bothered and unsatisfied. If you want an easy place to ignore your spawn while you eat, you'll probably like it. read more

Had a wonderful meal in the very child-friendly back room with my sister and her two very active little girls. She rarely gets to relax and enjoy a meal out, and Miss Marmalade was the perfect place for her to do that. The girls loved the babycinos and pancakes, and we were very impressed with the chicken salad and lamb soup. I loved that the kids meals were real food served on real crockery and not the same old dumbed down nuggets and chips that are so common on children's menus. The huge basket of toys and shelf full of books were a hit, and we were able to sit back and relax while the smiling staff happily tidied toys and wound their way around the little ones playing on the floor. Highly recommended! read more

I come here a lot, by myself, with a friend and also with my children (Who are 10, 13 and 17) though I've seen plenty of parents with babies and younger children here and they are well accommodated. The staff are ALWAYS friendly, always helpful. My eldest has an intellectual disability and autism and though he likes going out finds some social interactions challenging - the staff were sensitive and helped us to a table towards the back - no fuss, no drama, just real decent people that work here, every single one I've encountered over the many months I've been coming. All 3 of my kids loved it and my eldest was quick to feel at ease. The food is excellent, great GF range, veg options. I love having breakfast here - there's a huge GF veg dish (Farmers Market? or something like) that which is damn tasty and healthy and a huge serving. Though if your tastes run more towards bacon and sausages you'll be well served too. Can't recommend these folks enough. read more
