Visited over the weekend with my family of four for brunch. Parking was easy out the front, although I will mention it was 1 hour timed, so just be careful of that! We sat out the back in the courtyard with all the kids toys so our little ones could have a run around and enjoy the space. Service was quick to order our drinks, but we had to go back in and ask if we could order food as no one came out after that to help us and we had two hungry monsters ready to go. Food took approximately 15 minutes to come out from ordering. Drinks were on point. The kids toasties were good. Breakfast dishes were also yum. I will just note - if you choose to sit out the back, beware of the seagulls, as they will swoop in and try to take your food the second you are off guard.

Highly recommend to anyone who looking for a wonderful breakfast and brunch experience in Melbourne. The recent coffee that I had is to my liking. I was impressed by its great qualities. And the food was pretty tasty, bacon was cooked perfectly and sandwich that I ordered was delicious with reasonable price. Very welcoming and friendly staff, the service was fast, great environment and convenient location just by the road, near Newport station so really easy to be reached. The backyard behind the cafe was spacious for kids. Everything was so excellent that words can't describe. I will definitely be going back!

My recent visit to this restaurant was quite disappointing. I walked in with a coffee in my hands and placed my food order at the counter and sat at the table waiting for my food. To my surprise, a waitress approached me and asked if I can change my table to a corner. I said I’m ok here, but she went as far as threatening to discard my coffee if I didn't comply, saying ‘otherwise we will have to bin your coffee’ I was shocked. In an attempt to address the situation, I spoke with the person in charge or maybe the owner, who displayed a notable lack of professionalism and courtesy, emphasizing that I wasn't a regular customer, and spoke so rudely to me. This was disheartening. What was most disconcerting, however, was the fact that they didn't inform me about their policy regarding outside beverages before I placed my food order. It's common courtesy to relay such rules to patrons in advance. This lack of communication and professionalism was a significant letdown. I usually refrain from leaving reviews, but this experience compelled me to share my thoughts. It's unfortunate that I didn't get to sample their food, as I was so shaken by the encounter that I decided to take my money and leave the premises. The Google reviews may showcase enticing food pictures, but my personal experience suggests that the quality of service and communication has regrettably declined.

Wonderful family friendly cafe with a spacious backyard area for toddlers to run around. Both customer service and food/coffee was great. Though, it was hard to decide what to eat because nothing really stood out on their menu besides the pulled pork, for me anyway. And I didn’t enjoy the coke float with soft serve - would be much better if it was made with real ice cream. In saying that, highly recommend The Backyard to anyone with young kids and want to absorb a bit of vitamin D!!

I ordered the Maple Pulled Pork and Red Hot Chili Prawns. The pulled pork is the best stewed pork for me the texture is soft, and it comes with green apple. It was so tasty. The Red Hot Chili Prawns are scrambled eggs mixed with prawns, topped with crispy fish, and served with chili in olive oil. They are also very tasty. The coffee is strong and smooth, and the service is very nice. I want to come back to try another menu next week.

What a lovely cafe. I went for a haircut close by and decided to give this cafe a whirl. It was lovely. Especially the food. I had a maple pulled pork. So amazing. A very big serve and it was Devine. So good. The coffee was fantastic too. Service was okay. Nothing outgoing nor charming. But that’s okay. I enjoy a chat with the waitress. Ah well. Can’t get everything. But food and coffee. Top!
