Indulgence Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

4 stars is the best I'll do unless my expectations are surpassed. That said, this cafe wins on it's spacious but quiet atmosphere. High ceilings, full length windows opening to a well covered spacious courtyard and a good selection of cakes, savouries and drinks. Service with a smile but nothing particularly outgoing. Seats are moulded plastic with flexible backs and a comfortable couch at one end. The spaciousness is what really endears this place. It has a light ambience without being too loud at all or too sunny. It's perfect in many ways for a late winter sunny Saturday afternoon

Well here for a second time .. Staff friendly, We ordered a frittata and a quiche to avoid sweets.

Coffee with a smile.

Very good service for a sunny sat afternoon..

I'm starting to enjoy this place access was good as parking around the side is ample.

Have been coming here for years. Food is ok (decent for suburbia)but has gone downhill in recent years. More importantly their prices are absolutely out of control. $60 for my partner and I to get eggs benedict and coffee. Also, they don't punch cards for an iced latte even though its the same damn thing as a regular latte just with ice. Absolutely no logic behind it.

Edit: It won't let me reply to the owners response so I'll put it here. The claim that they haven't raised prices in years is demonstrably false. Right on the google page you can see their menu for the same item. Just 4 years ago eggs benedict was $13.50 + $4 for salmon. Today it is $18.90 + $6 for salmon. That is a ~42% increase in price, more twice the rate of inflation over the same period. Like, dawg 2 slices of raisin toast was $3.5 4 years ago and its $9.90 now,...

This place used to be good but now it is simply appalling. 10 minutes waiting to be seated at the queue here sign (in a queue of just me) - until I went up to the counter myself and asked what should I do? The staff there were really unhelpful. Placed an order and sat down (had to get my own drink) and then waited nearly 30 minutes for lunch. The ordered coffee arrived after 40 minutes and three further enquiries, which were met with a curt "right". The staff are just completely disinterested and rude. Everyone one else in the surrounding tables had the exact same terrible experience. As stated, this place used to be good but now 1 star is being overly generous. Avoid at all costs, although the food, when it finally did arrive, was OK. Just not...
