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. The staff are quite friendly, and the coffee wasn't all that bad either. However, what I really liked about this place was just the relaxed atmosphere, the quiet surroundings, and the aesthetic design.

Seddon is lucky enough to have a new cafe join the westside party after The Little Man opened on…read moreVictoria St this morning. 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.

This cafe was a little different, though it was still a somewhat nice place to grab a bite to eat…read more I guess it had a lot to do with the rather friendly staff, and also that they did a reasonable pot of tea, though of course it wasn't one of the best that I've had. Still, the breakfast options were interesting, and they weren't necessarily bad either. While it isn't one of the best cafes that I've visited, it still did have some charm about it. I liked it.

They make a mean Bloody Mary too, accompanied by a baby heirloom tomato. The decor is well thought out, modern but casual. Great coffee. Friendly service.

Sure there is a method to the rainbow of colors splattered around the cafe, but to me there is just a bit too much. I dropped in here on my lunch break and although not busy, the service was slow. I ordered the Bck-bck-begerk - A French baguette of harissa chicken + roasted sweet-corn relish and I must admit it was super tasty but did they need the olive oil dribbled on the plate in swirls around it?! I think 'The Pour Kids' are trying a little too hard to be 'The Cool Kids' and if they were just to relax with the decor and food then they could be renamed 'The Comeback Kid'.

Fabulous cafe in the outer east of Melbourne…read more The food was amazing, and definitely the major draw card here. A variety of offerings from various cultures all cooked and presented beautifully. The staff were very friendly, accommodating and cheerful. Their dedication to the cafe was obvious. The coffee was good - they buy from a local roaster. Not as spectacular as some coffee places closer to the city, but still drinkable. The cafe had a good atmosphere with expressive art on the walls and different seating options. The prices were extremely reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food that we received. This is definitely a cafe to visit if you're in the area.

We wandered into Thangs Cafe, situated at the top end of Lygon St where there is not much on offer,…read morefor a late lunch and were greeted by the friendly staff as we headed to the counter. The menu was full of mostly sandwiches and burgers, which suited us just fine. I ordered the Roo Burger and my wife the Open Vegie Melt. We were excitedly told about what was in each meal before being told to not worry about paying yet and to grab a seat. I also ordered a strawberry milkshake, which was unfortunately a little disappointing and essentially just a Big M in a glass. I did have it topped up for free while I was half way finished though. We were the only ones in the cafe, but the wait for our food was still quite a bit, but once it did come out I was more than happy. The Open Vegie Melt was big and cheesy and the Roo Burger was absolutely delicious, not too big, but the perfect size to fill me up. The breakfast menu looked to be quite good too, containing all of your standard cafe brekkie items. We were in the area looking for a new house, so I hope that I'll be able to head back soon to try out more of what's on offer!

Still, the number of Einstein quotes in here were pretty good. In a way, this place is basically one of those small coffee shops that generally service the business, particularly the businesses where the people aren't all that keen on walking too far to get a decent cup of coffee that doesn't happen to be the powdery stuff in the kitchen. I liked it though, even though there was a limited amount on the menu. However, the staff were friendly, and the tea was also nice.

Stopping here on a cool spring day and we were warmly greeted, explained how to order and given our choice seating by the window. The standout dish was the haloumi and zucchini fritters, very filling and flavourful with yoghurt and a side salad. The least favoured was the chicken and mushroom pie, just average in taste. Other dishes were on the better side and service was top notch. There is a decent drink menu featuring milkshakes, smoothies and spiders along with the usual coffee and soft drinks. With ample space for families and outdoor seating, I can see why it was consistently busy and would easily venture back the next time I'm in the area.

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.
