Beautiful Dench sourdough breads (also available to purchase in whole loaves), perfectly poached eggs, and an interesting menu with beautiful presentation make it a delight to eat here. The coffee is veneziano, made well, and there is usually a single origin coffee available. No filter coffee menu, but the single origin espresso option is usually fresh and enjoyable. And available! Which is spectacular in the outer eastern suburbs, where I am usually met with a blank state when I ask if there is a single origin coffee on offer. They have Larsen and Thompson teas available, but if you like to be specific about how your tea is brewed, be prepared, as they serve them without brew timers. The space is nice, with an outdoor table out the front, some tables inside, and space out the back. It can get busy! Especially on the weekend. The staff are great, though, with service being prompt and friendly, and chatty when it's not too busy. *TL;DR: currently the best specialty coffee cafe in the outer eastern suburbs, so visit!

The staff are always lovely, and the food looks amazing, although it's been a while since I ate here, due to the fact that my stop ins were never long enough to stay. From large meals of home made lasagna, served with salad, to simple bowls of chips or cakes and desserts, the food is nicely priced for the portion you get, and a main can easily be shared between two. With rotating specials on the board and a great range of small chocolates to go with your cuppa, Yarra Blue also has a large seating area upstairs that is perfect for a function.

Will definitely return to sample some more of the menu, as they had some beautiful sounding items such as cinnamon pancakes. The coffee was genovese. They were quite proud of genovese's Melbourne heritage; I just wish they would have a look at some of the amazing boutique roasters we have available in Melbourne that are among the best in the world. Tea on offer from T2 and yarra valley tea co. Included the normal offerings of herbals and "English breakfast" etc. The room was fairly small, but well lit. The staff were friendly without being cloying. The place got very full at lunch time, but the staff managed nicely. All up, the food is worth returning for, but if you want great tea or coffee, you will have to travel further towards the city than croydon.

Activity packs available for kids, toilets have a change table and seating arrangements include couches, tables for two or four & communal dining with bench seats or bar stools. My only little bugbear is that they have Thankyou branded soap bottles in the bathrooms and have refilled them with cheap soap... Which kind of flies in the face of the Thankyou brand. Other than that, it's awesome, by far the best cafe in the area and even better than its sister restaurant 'Kofi Bean' in the Main Street. Love it.

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.
