Description

Third Wave Cafe has received a range of reviews from disappointed customers to satisfied food enthusiasts. Some have criticized the lack of flavor in the food, with one reviewer comparing it to "cat food," while another found the dishes expensive for what was received. However, others have raved about the delicious meals, such as the juicy and tender brisket and ribs, as well as the flavorful Oink balls and amazing Mac and Cheese. The restaurant's use of high-quality local ingredients and friendly staff have been commended. Despite some mixed reviews, Third Wave Cafe appears to offer a diverse menu that caters to meat lovers and breakfast enthusiasts alike. If you're a fan of American style BBQ, slow-cooked ribs, and unique sauces, this may be the spot for you.

Was Elena Lindgren at Third Wave Cafe Port Melbourne a mag?

We really enjoyed our brunch experience at third wave cafe. We ordered the spicy ratatouille baked eggs and chilli scrambled eggs which came with their speciality Oink balls. Both were delicious! So much so that we went back the very next day for lunch. I love that this restaurant uses the best quality local ingredients. It has a nice cosy feel and the staff are always nothing but super friendly! View all feedback.

What Sonya Breitenberg dislikes about Third Wave Cafe Port Melbourne:

This restaurant is not serving American BBQ. The food is dry, tasteless, and lacks any smoky flavor. Even cat food would taste better. When I raised my concerns to the staff, they simply blocked me to avoid a negative review. It seems like their only specialty is third wave coffee. View all feedback.
