Meister — Restaurant in Melbourne

It's a small minimal cafe with a variety of pastries, savoury dishes and beverages. I walked by and decided to try their toasted halloumi bagel. The staff are lovely and were organised during the rush of customers. I was able to order and grab a seat, it didn't take long for my order to come to my table. It was absolutely the best bagel I have ever had in my entire life and I really do mean that 😭🙏🏼 - 10/10 it's been 7 hours and I'm still thinking about it. It was so fulfilling and delicious! It had halloumi, tomato slices, lettuce, avocado (didn't know it was in there, lovely surprise! there was a good amount too) and cucumber slices. I don't like tomatoes slices and if you don't you'll probably want it removed but I'll suggest you leave it in for this one because it tastes good. A cafe I'll definitely make a stop at next time I'm in the city, I recommend the place and their halloumi bagel to everyone else.

P.S. the prices weren't as high as I thought it would be, as a student you usually expect the usual city prices to leave a dent to your wallet but it was affordable so that's also an...

Companies like these should not be around. I got charged $5.50 for a small almond croissant with a shelf/display price of $4.80. After paying with my card (so including bank charges), I realised that I had been robbed. I brought this to their attention. But all they could say is that the display price is wrong. I had made my decision, probably like 98% of cases, based on the price. So I told them I was not taking the product. The lady explained without a single care about customers that it's all management's fault. I understood that mistakes can happen but the total lack of empathy and care of the people there really left me in shock. So I was reimbursed without the bank charges obviously.. always make a profit huh? The least they could have done is give an apology and honor the price. Own your mistakes! Had you done those simple little act of care and kindness, I would have come back. But it is clear you don't care about your customers. Maybe because you have too many customers. It's a shame I can't give...

Bad coffee. Very disappointed! I came here because the reviews suggested quality coffee. I ordered a regular latte, perhaps the most basic coffee. Not sure what I received but it was over extracted and bitter. It had chocolate on top and the cup clearly had latte written on it. I chucked it in the bin in disgust before I thought to take it back and ask the barista to take a sip. So much quality coffee in Melbourne, go somewhere...
