121 STATION CAFÉ — Restaurant in Melbourne

Came across this place unexpectedly and what a gem it turns out to be. Have been going back to them for their omelette multiple times since, which is divine.

Their beef pho is also one of the best around this area. Not the best in Victoria but yes, best in this area, especially given its price range. My personal experience is to request for mint leaves in the pho to elevate the soup. Trust me, I've experienced pho heaven in Vietnam and have been taught how to cook it 😉 They don't use raw beef slices so no worries about the beef being overcooked. What they do use, are beef cuts which had been stewed for hours so the fat and tendon are tender, almosts melts in your mouth goodness.

Tried almost everything on their menu and have not been disappointed yet.

Their coffee is consistently good as well.

The lovely couple who runs this place are ever obliging and friendly which tops the icing on the cake.

Of the many times I've been there with my mate, we will always dig in so eagerly and forgot to take enough photos to share here or anywhere... This place has home cooked goodness...

This is one of my partner and I’s favourite local cafes ! They definitely do have great coffee , delicious Bahn mi , Vietnamese dishes and smoothies ( they are happy to modify dishes to make them vegan and taste great !) but it’s not just the food that makes this place so great . The couple than runs this restaurant are so kind , personable and friendly . We love going here ( and see lots of other locals do too !) It has a wonderful local vibe . Definitely check it out if you are in the...

Went today to buy rice paper rolls and asked for 2 was informed you can only buy 3 so I asked for 2 beef 1 tofu and they said no it’s 3 the same as it takes too long to make all different so I got 3 but won’t be going back as I feel you should be able to choose as I’m paying and doesn’t matter on how long it takes plus some people can only eat a certain amount just like myself. Nice food Tom but sorry...
