**UPDATED REVIEW** The last time I reviewed The 905 Cafe (which I will shorthand simply to 905) was early in my Yelping career. I don't even remember if I earned RED yet, but I surely enjoyed being honest about where I partook my patronage to. 905 received my highest rating for an initial review for a local business, and unless you know, that is always going to be four out of five stars because my fifth star is always earned for consistency as in "consistently being good/great/amazing!" I will stress that I haven't been back to 905 as much as I'd like simply because of work, but now that I have finally made many returns, I can happily say that after eight years (which is way too long if you ask me), I finally made enough visits to write that 905 is consistent and thus have earned their fifth star in which they are one of the few - after I have organized my reviewing style and detail - to be a perfect score local business. In general, all the details I described in my previous review are still effect, but there are some changes that need to be noted. Firstly, 905 is no longer located at 905. It is across the street at 908. They moved back in 2020 during the pandemic. Secondly, there are now more wares inside from local creators, and even a small book and media purchase area. Finally, I must stress how amazing the soups are. Take note that like any other place that makes one pot for the day and finishes that pot in said day, depending on the time you go and how much soup is left, you might get a "flavor bomb" at times. For example, if I show up just an hour or two before closing, my soup will be loaded with flavor because flavor settles over time, even if you mix the soup every so often. That's just the truth. Finally, the ambiance still has the feel of going to grandma's house, but a bit more modernization, too. Nothing too bad but it should be noted. And I don't think I said this last time, but the restroom is gender neutral and very clean. Only place in the entire restaurant where profanity is shown and I don't mean graffiti on the walls because they don't have that. You'll see if you go. Ultimately, they deserve their five-out-of-five stars and it has been a pleasure eating there. I always go back for their soups so I will definitely be around. read more

As cozy, kitschy, and warm as though you stepped into a midwestern grandma's kitchen :3 Very cute. Though the coffee leaves a bit to be desired, I can appreciate the charm of this quaint little cafe, and the friendly service makes up for the mediocre brew. COCONUT ICED TEA: Like a sweet tea, but with a light coconut flavor (made with coconut water maybe)? Simple & refreshing. My bf's 905 Signature was... Sugary! Very sweet. Other drinks we ordered met the same fate... Maybe better if you're a bigger sweet tooth. read more

Cute little Sandwich shop in historic Downtown Melbourne. While ordering I found the server to be very friendly and helpful with the menu. I ordered a wrap that was very good, the side salad was kind of hard to eat and really a bit of a let down. The venue was clean and everyone seemed to enjoy their luncheon experience. read more

Great little place to have a relaxing and nice lunch. Food was very good, and I'll definitely go back!

I haven't been to downtown Melbourne in a really long time to eat, walk, or shop. My friend said she wanted to meet here for some coffee and she really likes their turkey sandwich. When I walked in I felt so happy to see a shop like this in Melbourne. They have anything they could find to be a table and different types of chairs. I had no idea this place existed for so long until I went to the restroom and saw the picture where they are located next to the old Island Pasta Company! I had their blueberry crumb cake, with an iced chai. They made it perfectly and the crumble was delicious! My friend loved her sandwich and it definitely looked delicious. I overheard a couple saying "I mean it tastes healthy" speaking about whatever they ordered, but then, "it actually tastes really good". It gives me California vibes and we miss Cali so much so this was a nice spot to feel like even for a moment we were back where we wanted to be! I'll definitely be back and can't wait to try some of the sandwiches and other items on menu. The staff was also super friendly and seemed quite chipper which is always so nice to see and hear! read more

I've come here twice now to get some homework done and let me tell you, it was probably the best experience I've had going to a cafe. The coffee is so good and the staff is so friendly. I would highly recommend this cafe. I also have a gluten allergy, and they were very accomodating. They have gluten free bread and were very careful about cross-contamination. read more

I love the 905 Cafe. I've gone for years, and they are always so friendly & welcoming. Prices can feel a little much for the amount of food, but other than that, I love the cozy vibe. It's a perfect place to grab a cup of coffee with a friend or bring a good book. read more

The staff and food are exceptional. It is a cozy place with lots of tables and a perfect location for down towners to frequent. Coffee is really good and service is fast. read more

Heading home today after a mini-vacay in St Augustine. We love Melbourne, so we stopped in last night for a quick stay. We always prefer local coffee shops, and this one did not disappoint. Super friendly and helpful; the barista took the time to look up the names of a couple antique shops when I asked for recommendations and wrote them down for me. The merch was very affordable. Picked up some stickers and socks, and this adorable Friends cookie jar which I may or may not give to a friend... Thanks ladies! read more

Cute coffee shop with a good sized menu. I was looking around for a place in Melbourne that was chill enough for me to get work done on my computer AND that also had actual food. 905 was perfect. Lots of comfy seating. I got a breakfast sandwich, a latte and an apple scone. The scone and sandwich were good, nothing too crazy about them, haha, but good! The latte was decent, little harsh for my taste. I asked the women behind the counter for a little extra steamed milk and she gave me some for free! She was incredibly friendly and helpful. Awesome customer service. read more

Iced mochas are my favorite speciality drink, and I've been drinking them here for years - back when they were at their smaller location across the street! Their new space is equally as cozy with added natural light. Plus they've created new merchandise that make great holiday stocking stuffers or small gifts for any local fans!! If you're heading there to take a seat and study, work, or vibe the day away, be ready to find your new #1 coffee spot. read more

I really love this cafe! They always greet you with a smile on their face, the food is great, and the coffee is great. I always get the apple, walnut, brie sandwich and add turkey for lunch, and whether you're getting a traditional coffee or a latte, it's always going to be good. Great spot in downtown! read more

Nice place! Dropped by because I was need of caffeine! I ordered an iced coffee and my husband had an iced tea. We opted to get them "for here" rather than "to go" so we could sit and chill downtown for a few minutes. The beverages were good, nothing extraordinary but nothing terrible. It's a bit odd (for me anyway) to drink iced coffee from a glass but that's probably only because I'm so accustomed to places that use plastic cups. Maybe I'm weird like that. Besides, everyone wastes too much plastic anyway. We didn't order any food, so I can't offer my opinions on their food menu, but their prices were fair for the beverages. The employees were super nice, providing great service, and that is definitely a big deal in my book! Oh, and it's a cute little coffee shop / cafe because of all the mismatched furniture and decor -- nothing really matches because it's all for sale! I'm not 100% sure why (do they owners also own a consignment furnished shop? Does another local business let them use furniture in hopes that it will sell? Who knows!) but it definitely adds to the charm. It is also nice to support local businesses opposed to Starbucks or another chain. read more

Five stars because service was great, food was great too! Staying at the Hotel Melby we ventured out for some coffee. The menu isn't very large but the food was amazingly tasty. We got two breakfast sandwiches. One croissant with egg, cheese and bacon and the other just egg and cheese on a bagel. Very large cups of coffee. All of that for $13+ change. The place felt very comfy too. I loved the eclectic feel. We would return, for sure. read more

The ambiance of this cafe is so fun and refreshing. When I went it I felt like I could really relax. Like home but not. The iced vanilla latte was a perfect sweetness and espresso. But to top it all off the apple cider cake was out of this world. Everything is made in house and everything so far has been delicious. read more

Staff was very nice but the quality of the coffee was not good. My friend got an ice marshmallow soy latte and I got an iced caramel coffee. Both of the drinks were very watered down and lacked flavor even with the syrups. Would not order coffee here again read more

Nice, funky little cafe in heart of Old Melbourne on New Haven Ave. Only visited once so far for lunch but enjoyed the healthful food options and reasonable prices. Order when you first go in and then proceed to the eclectic seating area in the back.....a variety of chairs, tables and bar along the wall with stools. They will bring your food out to you. We had quiche and tuna wrap. Both were simple but quite good and had a choice of sides of which we chose a mixed green salad. We will definitely return perhaps for breakfast or when in need of a nice light lunch. read more

The ambiance is pretty, and they have nice coffee, but the food itself it's not very good

We have been eating here for years. Friendly service, excellent food and great atmosphere. Never disappoints.

Just so cozy in here. All kinds of tables, variety of chairs and a nice sofa for 2 in the back with a little privacy... coffee date? Service is quick and attentive. Asked for a chocolate shake with peanut butter (PB not on the menu) and they were happy to make it. Notice that there are mostly housewives hanging out here... its a bit too dark to read a newspaper unless you are lucky to get one of the few tables with a little lamp. Upside the house mug coffee is only $1.75 and there are some great for sale oil paintings on the walls. Downside no Wi-Fi but you can jump onto the neighboring "Island Pasta Calilou" network that's showing 4 bars on my laptop. read more

The 905 Cafe- Downtown Melbourne- 4 stars Secreted away in a small niche amongst a gaggle of shops, boutiques, art galleries, and eating establishments awaits a true culinary gem for your enjoyment. I am speaking, of course, about the 905 Cafe in the Historic Arts district of the sprawling metropolis that is downtown Melbourne, FL. The first thing that struck me as I entered and approached the counter for service was the fact that 905 has somehow kept the same ambiance for over 20 years. Not sure how they do it, but if they could bottle it and sell it, they could make a fortune. After placing my order for an Egg Salad sandwich on marbled rye and a Chicken Salad on fresh greens with the pleasant, attentive, on-the-ball counter staff, I noticed patrons comfortably seated upon antique chairs dining with utter enjoyment on the fare offered and I couldn't help but think that if Paris Hilton or her ilk (tall, skinny blondes with purse poochies) were living in Melbourne, FL. this is where they would dine. This is the kind of place that people in Hollywood go to see and be seen. The ambiance is sophisticated enough to draw their crowd, yet homey enough for the average tourist from Nebraska. Again, if they could bottle this...Anyway, I digress, back to the task at hand. My order was plated artfully and placed on a tray with a smile awaiting my pick up. I enthusiastically grabbed it off the counter and tried to casually walk to the nearest table as my eyes devoured the feast in front of me and my olfactory senses became overwhelmed with the scent of freshly baked bread wafting up from my tray. The marbled rye was still warm from the oven and had that springiness of freshly baked bread while the crust was a perfect mix of firmness and chewiness that is a must in a good bread. The taste of the bread alone was exquisite, add to that the made to order egg salad and I was in the sandwich equivalent of Valhalla (Skol!). After making the delicious egg salad disappear in a matter of moments, I moved on to the Chicken Salad Salad. As with the Egg Salad, their Chicken Salad is made to order, none of that half hour old stuff out of a bucket for these guys. It was perfectly made to the right degree of creaminess and sat majestically atop a bed of freshly selected baby Spring greens all topped with hand cut fresh strawberries and real, honest to YiaYia, goat's milk Feta. The Big Boy says, "whether you are a high-society, stilettos in the sand wearing, purse puppy toting fashionista or a surfer from Beachside in baggies, a T-shirt and flops looking for a sophisticated dining experience with delicious, made to order, better than down-home cooking, head on over to the 905 Cafe. You do, however, have to leave Princess Buttercup at home. Health codes and all... read more

Went in this afternoon to grab some coffee and just hang out some. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and the food was nice for the price. I ordered a slice of quiche, which was good, with fruit and cheese. I also got a latte, which was nice. The dining room is nicely spaced out with different seating options that make it easy for you to choose what suites you. Staff stopped by to ask if I needed more water or coffee and were very pleasant. All in all good times, will go again! read more

First visit here today and I'm glad I didn't leave with my first impression. Was a bit put off by having to pick my breakfast as soon as I walked in the door and felt a bit rushed. BUT ... don't let that make up your mind about this place. The back of the cafe feels like you've walked into your family's dining room. It was very cozy and a great place for a book club to meet up. Everything we ordered was fresh and clearly homemade. Everything bagel surprised me the most. It appeared to be made in-house and tasted amazing. The girl who took my order advised that they make their quiche fresh everyday and it's always different. So I had a slice of today's spinach and feta and I was glad I did! Yummmm... Love that the walls supported artists and had paintings all around. Surprised that this little cafe quickly changed my mind about them. You should see for yourself! read more
