The only thing I would pick on is that a few staff members rushed us a bit but being the weekend everyone needs their coffee so I understand.

THEY MAKE THEIR OWN CAKES!!…read more And... They have sous vide (coddled) eggs. AND they are happy to PayPass one coffee! Hooray. Looking forward to them getting seating out front so we can sit in the sunshine and drink their yum coffee. Friendly & happy staff make the experience *that* much better.

I've been to Chez Dré now twice, and each time was great. Friendly staff and delicious food. I…read moremust say, I prefer the lunch to breakfast, but I'd still highly recommend this gorgeous cafe/restaurant. The decor is definitely French inspired, and funky, and it's always busy which gives it a great atmosphere. If you want a delicious, fresh breakfast or lunch, or simply a stunning cake and coffee, this is for you. The cakes are magnificent and you can taste the quality in them, and know they're not mass produced. My new favourite place :-)

Great brunch place with a French twist and an amazing advantage of an efficient wait list!…read more Pretty sure there'll be something to cater to everyone's needs given the wide range of options available. Go at 11.30 and both the breakfast and lunch menu will be available to you. So will the range of sandwiches and sweets in the display cabinet. I've heard great stuff about their breakfast menu and was tempted by the brioche French toast with seasonal (spring) fruits and caramelised pecans! On par with those from hardware societe, the French toast was a good combination of refreshing sweet fruits, rhubarb, cream and crunchy pecans. There were some pretty mouthwatering selections on special and savoury options for breakfast too. Think croque monsieur, croque madame, baked eggs etc... Great brekkie staples one would expect to find in a South Melbourne cafe. We also took away some cakes... The cake display cabinet was a work of art! Individual cakes looked as pretty as they were delicious! Can't wait to go back for some savoury options! And unlike other popular hole in the wall brunch locations, chez dre has a huge space, both indoors and outdoors. The queue moved surprisingly quick too given the number of people waiting at the entrance. Two thumbs up! The kitchen probably struggled a little with the volume of orders as we had to wait a fair amount of time before our coffees and food arrived. On the plus side, food and coffee arrived at the same time which made for a good meal..! Will definitely recommend this to anyone who's in the neighbourhood!

I come to this area often, as I do some grocery shopping at Europa, but never knew about this…read morelovely cafe! I was having my car repaired across the street & the mechanic recommended coming here & I'm so glad he did. It's located down at the end of lane way behind where Europa is on Warrigal Rd in Heatherton. The place is an oasis off of this busy industrial strip. It's a proper restaurant. Breakfast ends at 11:30 am & then they have a full on lovely lunch menu, including lamb salad, duck salad, a fancy, yummy looking vegetarian salad, and mains like lobster ravioli & steak. They have a full bar menu as well. Nice find!!

Cafe with outdoor and indoor seating and ample street parking. Arrived here on a Sunday noon and it…read morewas almost empty inside but lots of people on the outdoor tables. Free wifi. A small selection of baked goods on counter. Menu consists of wraps, burgers and a handful of brekkie items. Despite being a small menu it caters to all tastes. My friend got the small victories sandwich which is bacon fried egg tomato in slices of bread. He inhaled it and liked the freshness from the tomato. I had the lamb wrap with pulled succulent lamb, refreshing pieces of cucumber and tomato, delicious undertones of the sauce and complementary sourness and crumbly texture from the feta. The wrap itself was a thin white wrap. I devoured mine too and the hot crinkly cut chips were a bonus Our coffees were robust yet creamy. Great value for money. Good friendly service.

It is the meal that starts your day, it should awaken you like a beautiful sunrise when you just had a 9 hour sleep. Food wise always up to scratch, I have had soup, sandwiches and the small victories breakkie. Sucker for black pudding and love the way it is served. New age fun with a vintage feel. The space feels great, always feel welcome and most importantly they tolerate me just talking shit about everything and nothing. Recommended by me. But then again. Who the fff hell am I?

They seem to know all their regulars too. There is limited seating in the cafe (~three tables inside, and 2 small ones outside), though it's one of those places great for your grab-and-go. In the city where it costs a fair bit much (for me) to dine in a cafe on a daily basis, 3 Little Monkeys is pocket-friendly (affordable). They do breakfast deals ($5) and lunch deals ($8? $8.50?) - an item off the food cabinet (for breakfast, only the ones on the top row and sweet case) and a small coffee (get a size upgrade for 50cents). With a whole alley full of little cafes offering different food+coffee options and deals, it is tempting to try every one of them. Albeit, once I am hooked, I will always go back. And I have. Keep up the great work, ladies!
