A Thousand Blessings — Restaurant in Melbourne

I moved to North Richmond in Jan and this is one of my nearest cafes. I keep meaning to write a review and keep forgetting!

This cafe is so lovely in every way. The coffee and the food from the menu is unreal, also the food that they have on display by order counter is really nice too and it often changes/there is a great variety of choices.

The staff are all so nice and really helpful. No matter what day or time I come (sometimes super early before work, other times I come for breakfast with my housemate on the weekend) it is ALWAYS busy. But we're always able to get seated and it's not busy in a hectic/noisy way. It just shows how good of a cafe it is that it's busy every time I go.

I've enjoyed every single meal or snack I've had here since I started going in January. My fave thing, in particular, is to pick up the ham & cheese Croque Monsier on a Sunday after a heavy weekend!

Feel so grateful that this is literally on my doorstep. Thank you to all the...

Worst experience in the whole world Ordered & paid at the counter , ham & cheese croissant and an OJ , order not taken correctly , I get the OJ & no croissant , I ask where’s my croissant is , they bring me a fresh one , hard as a rock , manager storms out to me : outright rude & accuses me of trying to steal .. something I haven’t paid for .. had 2 witnesses that I paid @ the counter , I advise I had ordered ham and cheese plus OJ & paid , manager comes out with an iPad demanding to know if I paid & where’s my order # is , to which I stated ordered and paid at the counter , accused me of lying .. starts a scene . Yells at me & snatches back the half eaten croissant .. she keeps accusing me of stealing he friggin croissant , uses Covid as an excuse for her staff in competence and her rudeness After eating mediocre food here for several years .. will NEVER be back . If you want to be yelled at for this cafes incompetent staff sure .....

Very upset. I got there at 1:28 pm on a Sunday and no one was waiting so my husband went in to try to get a table while I stayed outside as I can see a vacant table. As I waited another customer came and a young blonde hair waitress came out saw her and gave the vacant table to that person but totally ignored me while I stood at the entrance. When the waitress walk pass again I said hi but she ignored me again. Then my husband came back and he said he had no luck with getting any attention too. I live in South Yarra and it's really normal to wear gym clothes after the gym. In Melbourne or even other states I've never been ignored like this. I hope you treat all people equally and ask customers who was there first before you give the table to. Unfortunately my husband and I wanted to try this Cafe but because of this experience we left and went to another Cafe...
