Of the many cafes Port Melbourne has to offer, this has become one of my favorites. A stone's throw from the beach and just off bay street, the outdoor seating is quieter than most of the other cafes around. The staff always seems happy to be at work and accommodating of questions and special orders. The indoor tables have flowers and feel cozy without being intrusive to neighboring conversations and dining. The coffee is delicious and well made and they cater to my dairy-free milk needs which is always a win. I especially appreciate their attention to detail with milk selection and ability to make a good drink without burning or scalding the milk. My partner goes there for their savory pancakes which are a thick stack covered in heaps of bacon. Prices are reasonable and location is prime. My only suggestion for improvement would be if patrons could challenge their server to a game of rock paper scissors for a discount...

Catching up for brunch with a group of friends, I was particularly looking forward to my order âAvo Smash with Edamame beans & other ingredientsâ . Photos look great in regards to presentation, however, the thick Toast really takes up the height of 50% of the Meal. I thought the Avo Smash would have tasted better, if the Fetta was mixed in with the Avo & perhaps some added fine Spanish onion? On its own, the Avo smash was slightly âtastelessâ. I couldnât taste any flavour re fresh Edamame beans in the Avo & Lemon juice mixed in the Avo as well. Hence this âSmashed Avocadoâ meal is not the best Iâve ever had. Perhaps the suggestion of slightly more Avo, would ensure the toast is not left over. Great options though for Chai lovers with âPrana Chaiâ - a great hot drink. Not sure if we would go back, as my friends...
   Read moreGreat food and excellent service. Large booking, accommodating staff - quick turn around of orders despite it being peak hour for them. There was 10 - 15 of us over a span of 2hours and allowed us all to pay separately at different times (with people having to go early etc). And yes we did book (recommended for this if in a group) My only gripe is the transaction fees. - I donât have an issue with them as I understand it cost them money to have electronic services, I would probably prefer these fees to be built into cost of the food rather than seeing a slightly higher number on final payment. carry cash if you want...
