This cafe is what Ferntree Gully needed!
The food and coffee is amazing along with the milkshakes, spritzers and cakes/muffins.
All the staff are so lovely and can't do enough for you.
I highly recommend the grilled chicken salad and waffles with ricotta and fresh fruit.

The food was lovely and tasty however, it would look professional if the wait staff wore a uniform and didn't talk about what time they were finishing work. I was served linguine with a spoon, no serviette and wasn't told of the soup of the day when ordering. All in all it was good but not great and for what you pay, you'd expect the staff to be more polished even though it's an unpretentious restaurant.

My Mocha and vegetarian focaccia were delicious, the staff were pleasant and friendly. The deli towards the back also looked interesting and I may try this next time, great idea if you're putting together a picnic basket!

I've tried the spicy calamari and fried Kew tweoh which was okay and the wonton soup and spring roll was nice. Fast service, staff are friendly. A sign on the drinks door to let you know what size drinks go with combos would be helpful. All in all nice Chinese, can get expensive.

This review is for Bees Knees Cafe, Ferntree Gully VIC

It's lovely to see a new cafe in the area. The service is excellent and the shop fit out is inviting, clean and fresh with a bee hive decorative theme. The prices are reasonable and the cakes on display looked scrumptious. I only had a hot chocolate which was delicious but will return for food. The only negative would be the acoustics, it's a bit loud and acoustic honeycomb tiles would certainly help on the ceiling to dampen the noise.

This review is for Somewhere Yummy Dessert Cafe, Boronia VIC

My husband and I have been here twice and love it. We've had a hot chocolate, latte, focaccia with salami, cheese, spinach and tomato and an amazing egg and lettuce sandwich. The recent visit we tried a lemon meringue cupcake and it was very morish! All of the other cakes on offer looked very nice. The owner and a male staff member are cheery to deal with and its a lovely retro inspired cafe and nice and quiet to just sit and watch the world go by and read the paper.

This review is for L'Olivo Pizza Pasta & Tappas Restaurant, Malvern East VIC

We went with my family and my two year old nephew and they were very accomodating. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We shared some delicious tapas to start including calamari then some yummy pizzas and the piece dresitance chocolate churros and donuts drizzled in honey and nuts. It was so filling and value for money. All of the food was top quality.

This review is for Le's Vietnamese Restaurant, Upwey VIC

We went for the first time a couple of weeks ago and look forward to returning soon. The staff were lovely to deal with and attentive especially the young gentleman who served us. The Singapore noodles, duck dish and Pho dish were very nice and all at a reasonable price. We also had 3's Vietnamese beer and it went well with the dishes. The only downside would be our mouths were particularly dry afterwards so unsure if they use MSG.

This review is for Crinitis, Carlton VIC

This place is amazing, if you want a special night out with a group or if it's just the two of you. You'll want to learn Italian after you've visited. The food is delicious and the service very good. We had a 1.5metre pizza, yes you read correctly with five different toppings between 8 people and to finish a yummy cannoli dessert. The toilets are a must see too just to use the wash basins!

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Meletos, Coldstream VIC

We have been here on two occasions and I would definitely recommend it and look forward to going back.
We enjoyed the wood fire pizzas, they are amazing and the hand cut chips are the best I ever tasted, the pear, rocket and Parmesan salad is also tasty.
The service is excellent, friendly and efficient.
Napoleon cider house adjoins the restaurant and there is ample room outside to sit and enjoy a cider in the warmer months.
To beat the rush, aim to arrive between 11am and midday to be guaranteed a spot as it gets busy and no reservations are taken for groups under 10 people.
