Good location overlooking the river, great choice of meals and cakes! Staff are friendly.
Some days can be average quality though I've found. Apart from that, a good location to catch up with friends before a night out.
location is great as it overlooks the yarra river if you sit out on the balcony
good range of meals on the menu too
I found the place to be quite busy on weekends, must mean that its popular
One time we went with our friends who have young children (aged 3 and 6) and they were looked after with their own menu items.
Great place
it's quite kid and family friendly which is quite nice
I heard about this place from a friend of mine. I have to admit, I was not thrilled at all. Staff was friendly, but the food was not what I expected for the price. All up, I would recommend this café for its location.
I agree, I am not sure why it is always busy there as the food and service is underwhelming.
i visited here when at the markets and wow the coffee is supurb i would recommend it to anyone who enjoys coffee
It's a great place to spend time with family on a sunny day. They have indoor and outdoor seating and sometimes it get cold, but there are heaters so sit next to one! There's a bar and a lounge as well and the waiters are always nice (to me). They have a wide veriety of food to choose from so go there!
Sold to Dimattina coffee some years ago the place has had a bit of a shift. I used to call this place home and virtually dined here every night when in town. If you can get over all the weird waitresses with tattoos and piercings you might settle down to some average overpriced food. Years ago when the old crew owned it the place was pumping and the food was great. You could shout your mates and they would all come back..these days its the opposite. I still go every now and again to 'hope' something changes but.....
On the plus side they have a good bar!

Great location and good vibe. Very handy place to meet interstate visitors. Have been a number of times, from breakfast, lunch, dinners or just drinks and always been good.
Hadn't been here for a while and our last visit was a bit disappointing. The staff were quite indifferent and slow to serve us. The selection of pizzas looked great on paper but the taste didn't quite live up to the description.
Approximate cost: $20
I had heard that this was a nice cafe for a casual catch up from a couple of different people so I was looking forward to having dinner here with my husband and some friends last night.
The view and the atmosphere is lovely. Unfortunately, the service and the food is really below average and I wasn't impressed at all.
At first, the server was attentive and took our orders quickly. Props to him for remembering the order perfectly without having to write it down.
I ordered the pumpkin and sage ravioli and I found it to be undercooked (the edges of the pasta were hard and chewy) and they were absolutely drenched in oil. The dish hardly had any flavour and it was quite a small portion size (although in hindsight, I'm glad I didn't have to eat any more of it than I did). My husband had a chicken caesar salad which looked OK; he said that it wasn't the best ever but it was OK.
As the night wore on, however, it seems that our table was forgotten. We wanted to order coffees but there wasn't a server in sight. Once we finally got our coffees and then wanted the bill, again, no servers. When I caught the attention of one server she motioned that she would be with us in a minute but then completely forgot about us. It wasn't even that busy.
As we left, we saw a group of the wait staff at the front desk talking to each other. They didn't even acknowledge us as we left.
Pretty dismal service, really. We won't be going back.
The best thing going for this place is the location and the view. The food is good, but nothing special.
Approximate cost: $22
