Caffe Cherry Beans Northland — Restaurant in Melbourne

*Edit - Unfortunately I changed this review to 2 stars from 5 as the serves have become a lot smaller and the quality isn’t the same. It no longer looks like the photo I originally shared - halloumi is so thinly sliced now. I had started asking and paying for extra halloumi as it was 2 tiny thin pieces. The extra was not worth it and again a very thin slice so it is rubbery. I politely mentioned this to staff as feedback without other customer hearing but I experienced the same issue again.

I’m not sure if it’s now under new management but the quality has changed. The capsicum used to be so moorish and a beautiful mix but now it’s barely cooked.

Toast seems very dry and 1 small piece and used to be 2.

This was my original review: When you go to a shopping centre you don’t expect the food to be the best however, this is by far the best HOT CHOCOLATE I’ve ever had. They use real chocolate. I’ve now had many here (and elsewhere) to officially back it up.

Next on my fave list is the - grilled veg, avocado and halloumi toast. Unbelievable! The eggplant is so creamy - the capsicum is perfectly grilled and the halloumi is so good that I always order extra.

Absolutely worth trying. My happy go to place. Always great...

Would not recommend. Bad experience from the start where we had paid at the front counter and when the staff at the cashier was handing out the change, she dropped it behind the counter and did not offer to replace the change at all. She just went ahead to take the order of the person waiting behind us.

I ordered the salmon truffle poached eggs and what came back were eggs close to being hard boiled. I asked the waiter to remake the “poached” eggs and he was confused to why I was sending it back. We had to explain what a poached egg was for him to understand and for him to offer to remake the eggs. The food came back with no cutlery and again, had to ask for the cutlery and explain why I needed it even though it was obvious that there was no cutlery in front of me.

Whilst sitting at this cafe, I noticed several people complaining about their orders as they had served them the wrong food. I am never coming back...

My recent visit to this cafe was incredibly disappointing. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a messy table that hadn't been cleaned from the previous customers. Despite requesting the staff to clean it, it took them half an hour to do so.

When our food finally arrived, it was cold and unappetizing. The poached egg was overcooked and resembled a hard-boiled egg, while the scrambled eggs tasted off. Upon complaining about the poached egg, they brought us a replacement, only to find it swimming in water on a side plate.

To top it off, the coffee was undrinkable. Overall, the service was abysmal, and I would strongly advise against visiting this cafe. It was a truly disappointing experience, and I won't be returning...
