Leroys — Restaurant in Melbourne

I looked up the menu as I am at work, and did not want to wait for my order. I called to order, then went to pick up. Got there and decided to eat in, however they tried to charge me $20 instead of the $17.50 which is on the online menu. When I mentioned to her it was $17.50 online, she said "ooh no sorry our prices changed, I think they just haven't updated it online". I replied with "well it says it on your website that it's $17.50 so I think I should have it at $17.50. She just said ooh no sorry and began to process the payment. I looked at the eftpos machine and found it to say $20. I told her, no I don't think I should pay $20, it's not my fault you have not updated your prices online. She then asked me if I wanted to speak to the manager. I said yes. He came and tried to say the same thing, "sorry we increased our prices, but they are still working on updating it online". I said "ell it's not really my fault". He insisted that I should pay the $20 because that is what it is. So I had to insist that I should pay only $17.50, mentioned again that it isn't my fault that their online menu does not reflect their new prices. He then just walked off. Went to the eftpos machine, by then there were more customers around. So now I am embarrassed that I even have to ask for this rectification. I offer to just pay the $20, and advised him that he should really look at fixing the online menu like ASAP! But he just said "no I'll fix it up" not even a smile or anything, just reluctantly did it like he didn't want to be at work today.

Moral: Everyone goes online, how the hell would you not update your online menu first before you update it in store. If you can't update it then simply take it down. Also why the hell do retailers expect customers to argue with them to prove a damn point before they reluctantly do what they should be doing in the first place. Leroy's you should honour your online price, and not make people have to bloody argue with you in front of other customers over bloody $2.50!! it is unnecessary and ridiculously rude! Then I got it and it wasn't even all that, just ate it cause I was starving and hadn't...

Come with me to check out lovely cafe in Newport next to the park where it's having Midsumma X photo 2024 exhibition. It's a real hotspot for the locals!

🦆🫓Master Stock Duck Bro Buns shredded duck paired with a punch of chili, all balanced with the freshness of green mango and papaya slaw. I love those prawn crackers on the side, very crispy!

🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫🍳Leroy's Signature Magic Mushrooms Not your average mushies, there are several types of mushrooms mixed into a tasty sauce with some sweet shallots cooked in red wine, paired with a crunchy potato pancake. Then, they add some creamy feta cheese for a bit of a tangy taste, and top it all off with a perfectly 60-degree cooked egg! This is really something different from other mushrooms' breakfasts that I had before, its magic!! 🎭

🥞🍓🫐OMG Pancakes These are not your everyday pancakes, they're a full-on feast with strawberries, fairy floss, and heaps of berries. The whipped choco cream takes it to a whole other level of yum

☕️Cappuccino Absolutely loving the rich, smooth flavor of theie cappuccino

Miss Green Juice Apple, cucumber, celery, and lime are a fresh breeze, super refreshing!

This cafe is more than just a place to snag a feed; it's all about good vibes and even better eats. If you're around Newport and haven't given this joint a go yet, you're missing out. Get in there and thank me later! :)

Worth the trek all the way across the other side of town. I really loved the set up. They have taken great care in all the little details and offer a space that is unlike any other. For a start they have an entire playground outside with tables surrounding it so families can come and parents can have their breakfast or coffee whilst the little people are kept well entertained. They also have another outside area on the other side of the cafe which is enclosed but can be opened up in the warmer weather that is pet friendly. Once again the little personal touches are evident here, there’s a heater installed but there are also blankets available and family friendly books to read and colouring in pencils for the kids. The inside is just as well thought out with an abundance of house made sweet treats. I kicked off with the cool running’s juice which was a yummy fruity concoction of watermelon, apple pineapple and orange. We then decided to share our meals and went for the smashing, açai bowl and chicken taco. I started with the smashing and while this is a pretty simple dish they really made it shine. Often this breakfast classic is served with a wedge of lime but this was so perfectly and deliciously seasoned it was one of the most enjoyable avo dishes I’ve had. The açai itself was quite sweet so well paired with the slight tartness of the strawberries and the acidity of the passionfruit. A very well balanced smoothie bowl. The taco was actually two tacos generously overflowing with yummy fresh ingredients. Genuinely friendly staff a great community atmosphere and fantastic food. What’s...
