PB & J milkshake
Taylor S.

While Geocaching my brother and a couple of friends of ours popped in for a coffee. We instead opted for milkshakes after seeing them on the menu - I specifically went for the PB & J. It was delicious.. the size was perfect (maybe not for $10), but also as it started to get a bit sweet. Also had a taste of the Vanilla & Malt and that was also refreshingly delicious. Will have to come back and try the food and coffee!

Yummy choices. Nice little place, friendly staff. Very hipster look. We went on a Monday at noon and it was busy but we got a seat rightaway. They have a 10% surcharge on the weekends and 15% on holidays, which I find a little odd, but hey... I hope that goes towards their emp

Raisin toast YES!

Whoever says Seven Seeds is not a 5 star experience is LYING. This place is sooo freaking good. I lived across the street from this heavenly joint for 6 months. The glorious smells wafting in through my window was enough to get me out of bed and down to the restaurant in no time. The burger (best of my life) was amazing. I mean, patty cooked to perfection, toasted buns, cheeeesey goodness. Literally welcomed me back to the world of food after days battling food poisoning. Everything else= equally as amazing. I used to have a thick slice of the raisin toast every morning before Uni. I still dream of that toast! And the crumpets. Drool! These are really sweet, I mean, they have condensed milk on them. Only get these if you have a sweeet tooth! Anyway, I love this place. Can't wait to return soon! Lovely coffee (go for a Flat White), and delicious food. You can't go wrong!

The food is well prepared so did the coffee. I had a waffle with egg Benedict. So far, it has been the best in Melbourne. You can see chunks of ham in it. The Hollandaise sauce on top enriches the flavor and also it looks great on picture. I love how the shop is divided into different sections with beautiful settings. Both Piccolo and Espresso rock! However, they did not wash the plates properly. I have to change plate twice to get a stain "less" plate.

Great food and coffee! It is a bit hidden as its entrance is on a small alley that you won't expect to find an open business. Espresso infused french toasts are light and absolutely delicious! Pleasantly surprised by the chicken carbano as it's much more flavorful than expected, with pickles which makes it very refreshing.

I went here for breakfast with my mum. The place is very cosy and comfortable with very nice decoration. We had eggs Benedict with waffle and French toast.. The eggs benedict with waffle is a must to try....it texture and sauce is so nice......French toast is light and fluffy.....I would love to come back here and try other dishes

These guys are one of the top dogs in the Melbourne coffee scene, and for good reason. They're always roasting and experimenting with new beans from around the world. They care about the industry and try to engage the community when it comes to new styles. Ask for a black coffee and they'll suggest a single origin of the day. Want to try a filtered coffee? Ask them what they have on and then have it served with some tasting notes. Coffee cupping sessions on Wednesday (9am) and Saturday (10am) are a great way to learn more. They're free, so just rock up 5 minutes early and then have a go! You'll be nerding on about acid and mouth-feel in no time. For me, this place is all about the coffee though. Of my dining experiences here I can't say I've been thrilled. The muesli I had once was tired and boring - as if it had simply been picked up off the supermarket shelf. It came with a compote of fruit which tasted like defrosted frozen berries. The small glimmer of awesome was the "chai milk" but it wasn't enough to save the dish and convince me I'd spent my money well. Baked eggs are delicious, though the portions are smaller than what's normally found elsewhere in Melbourne. This isn't a bad thing (I think for we all eat way too much and food waste is appalling) but in terms of value, I think it's just a tad overpriced when others offer up similar dishes at the same price and give you more than two eggs, a tablespoon of tomato sauce and a scattering of (I counted 8) beans. Skip the food, go for the coffee.

Chocolate within a hot chocolate.

I'm going to go ahead and assume all the food at Seven Seeds is as good as my own breakfast today. Life changing comes to mind! I didn't even know I liked pears and pecans but I though I'd give it ago and boy am I glad I did! Delicious, fresh, Brioche French toast with poached pears and pecans *drool* washed down by hot chocolate! Sitting in a Cosy window seat watching the world go by! Seven seeds provides a lovely dining experience. It's crowded but not uncomfortably so and the service was great, the guys here should be proud of what they do! FOOD MAGIC!

Being a coffee snob, ive always appreciated certain coffee beans. I like my blended over origin. I like vittoria, seven seeds, and Campos coffee. So when I found out that seven seeds had their own cafe in Melbourne, how could I not go. At 9am on a Sunday, it was easy to get seated straightaway though by eleven, two or three groups were waiting to be seated. The menu looked fantastic with something called heirloom carrot toast with lemon ricotta, smashed avocado, greens and chilli dukkah for 14 dollars and 2 dollars for a poached egg. I couldn't wait to taste carrot toast and lemon ricotta. My friend ordered their French toast. We got a skim mocha (extra hot) and a soy cappuccino. Though service was quick, the coffee and meal were disappointing. My mocha was tiny for 4.30, tepid, no coffee or chocolate flavour. Felt like I was drinking milk. Very very disappointing. The heirloom carrot toast was spiralized carrot and greens on sourdough toast slathered in guacamole and ricotta. The ricotta didn't have a lemony flavour. The chilli dukkah was flavorless. And the menu lied. It was not carrot toast. It was carrot on toast. The most disappointing breakfast I've ever had. Everything tasted bland and the same. And to add to it the coffee was not even hot or tasted like coffee. Bad barista day perhaps? Points for quick service, presentation of food and price.

Passion fruit cream and coffee doughnut from my last visit. Definitely worth it.

As you'll be able to tell with most of my posts - I love coffee. And one of my favourite coffee blends around Melbourne is without a doubt Seven Seeds. Their coffee is consistently amazing, and very different to most blends going around without being over the top. Going to the cafe where all the magic is done isn't as amazing as I'd hope, but that's probably as my affection for the blend is over the top. The coffee was still amazing! Had a Reuben sand which in one of my previous visits which too was great! The place is so busy however (I guess a burden of their own success), and not a great place to relax, especially if your a Melbourne Uni student looking to study. I do however find myself back there often picking up a fresh batch of beans to use at home, where there's a crazy range to choose for all methods of brewing!

Short macchiato
Paul A.

Sunday morning (Father's day) was über busy with a mixed demographic of students, families acouples Exposed brick, concrete floors, high ceilings create a cool if somewhat hectic vibe inside (there is an open kitchen with cooks and baristas running about) Ordered a short macchiato - good temp, touch bitter, beans roasted a touch long perhaps? After quite a wait (mind you I was warned before I sat down), my huevos rancheros looked beautiful and tasted fresh, perfectly fried eggs, micro herbs .. I enjoyed the contrasting textures of the salsa, beans and tostadas. However the tomato felt like it had a bit too much tomato paste in it.. I would have preferred a cleaner tomato flavour. All in all the experience was fine. Papers - yep Music - good background tunes, electronic, chill out.

Eggs and Waffle Benedict
Ari M.

Stopped here a couple of times when we were in Melbourne. This place is easy to miss as it blends it with the surrounding buildings as it has an unassuming facade. But so glad we stopped in to grab a bite. I got the eggs and waffle benedict, which was great! My friend got the coconut crunch french toast which was also really great. Also, it's a great place to get some work done -- has good coffee but no wifi unfortunately.

Seven Seeds was a solid start to an early morning. Getting there before 9am was great because there was no queue and service was quick. My dining partner and I enjoyed coffee and hot chocolate featuring Mork chocolate. What a delight! I dined on the bacon, eggs and waffles benedict, which I found to be savoury and filling. The hollandaise sauce was slightly better than most and the crisp waffles were a nice change from the normal sourdough muffins. I would highly recommend this dish! The burger my friend got looked tasty as well. It had Wagyu beef and bacon, with another special sauce and a side of chips. It was quite a hearty selection for breakfast but a good choice. The ambiance was clean and woodsy with high ceilings. There was a community feel with the large tables spread out, lots of room to host more patrons. I will definitely be back and will know better than to walk by again, as the sign is painted on the building, so look for it! :)

Poached eggs on toast, with smashed avocado and chorizo added - the perfect combination.

Food is okay! Coffee was good! Service was decent. I would definitely try again since, 2nd chance…read moreis worth it

The first day in Australia, I was craving a big, hearty sandwich, a rarity in Japan. A quick Google…read moresearch led me to Bowery to Williamsburg. The name suggests a connection to the street or bridge in NYC. Am I correct? Located in the alley between Flinders and Collins, parallel to Russell, it was a bit unexpected to find this eatery here. With plenty of tables on the patio and inside, the atmosphere was inviting. Being alone, I didn't want to occupy a larger table, so I decided to grab my order to go. After glancing over the menu, my eyes locked on the 'Reuben,' thinking 'this can't go wrong.' The staff were kind and friendly. Despite not dining in, they allowed me to sit and wait at a table. After a few minutes, I received my order and rushed back to the hotel because I couldn't wait! Excitement led me to open the box like a treasure chest, revealing a huge sandwich - the portion I had been searching for. In Japan, where I live, the general trend is to reduce portions to maintain prices rather than increase prices to keep portions consistent in the face of inflation. Now you understand how crucial this is. Another crucial aspect - the taste was on point. With a generous portion of meat, it dominated the experience along with the sourness from the pickled cabbage. It was a bit too sour for my taste, but I assume that's how a Reuben usually tastes. Overall, I was really pleased with this place and would love to come back again.

Breakfast they say, is the most important meal of the day, it gives you energy, gives you clarity…read moreto get through the day, it sets the tone. So finding the perfect breakfast, well let's face it, is reality easy in a city such as Melbourne. So many cafes and restaurants offering their take on poached eggs, smashed avocado sprinkled with the latest super food grain and freshly juiced kale and ginger juice makes it a smorgasbord of choices for today's customer. Hotel restaurants around the world have been offering up a breakfast buffet since the dawn of time, with a large degree of failure. The biggest challenge being keeping the offering hot and serving up a variety that keeps them a step a head of their competition. Collins Kitchen in the Grand Hyatt Melbourne offers up this time honoured tradition and where others have missed the mark the Hyatt have not only exceeded the mark but have set the barre to new heights. Firstly this is a grand restaurant overlooking the plain trees of Russell Street, with warm and inviting furniture that lets you know you're in a five star dining room in a world renowned hotel, a perfect place for the perfect breakfast. The major difference here is how they offer you the food, there is not a trestle table or Bain marie in sight, instead they have four show kitchens, each with a dedicated chef, either cooking to order your choice of eggs, be it poached or a wonderful fluffy omelette, or continually cooking crispy bacon, sauté mushrooms or an array of dim sum. Fresh fruit, an assortment of freshly baked bread and a chef offering to squeeze you a super juice, is awaiting you in another kitchen. There's a deli with smoked salmon, turkey and ham on offer with a great selection of cheese and crackers. If that doesn't fill you up then you'll need to head over to what one can only describe as heavens kitchen. Freshly made waffles and pancakes with fruit compotes and cream. Pastries and cakes galore will give anyone with a slight sugar addiction the fix they need. The only way to make this experience better would be to offer ice cream for the waffles, but that's just me being slightly greedy. This is not a place for a quick breakfast, to get the full experience you need to spend a couple of hours here and for $42 is certainly value for money.

High Tea at Hyatt So…read moreI just came back from the Hyatt high tea and I had a lovely time. The three of us were given two stands that displayed 9 sandwiches and 8 cakes. We were also given 10 scones and more than enough cream and jam (raspberry & fig) to accompany. The setting here at the Hyatt is beautifully laid out, the table settings are good quality and room oozes of class and style. The service was fantastic, the waiter for our table was extremely polite and professional. I found the servings to be very generous here, we had so many left over cakes-unfortunately they do not offer take away services, and so it's a bit of a waste if you don't finish it. The sandwiches included an egg salad, aged waygu beef and smoked salmon. The cakes included a chocolate mud, chocolate opera, pistachio sponge, cheesecake and strawberry mousse. I was also surprised by how many scones they gave us, did they really except us to eat that many? Overall this was a very pleasant afternoon, the ambience of the place was quite and relaxing and the prices were around $30ish per person. I will definitely head back here soon, perfect place for afternoon tea.
