We'll definitely be back for more! xx

All in all though, the large space is light and airy with plenty to look at, and a comfortable and bustling vibe. <br/ <br/ The cafe menu centres around Asian fusion brunch style dishes, which all sound delicious. However, we stopped in for coffee and cake and found the service to be quick and friendly. The dishware is lovely and our coffees were outstanding. <br/ <br/ The cake selection sticks to some tried and tested recipes. This time we had the amazing orange cake, which was moist with syrup abd full of orange flavour. In the past we have had the flourless chocolate cake, and it too is fantastic. <br/ <br/ It's impossible to come to this funky cafe without checking out the other interesting spaces. In cool and arty Collingwood, this cool cafe is a standout for its fun atmosphere and lovely food.

I can't believe I used to walk past this place for a month and never knew what a treasure was inside. The minimalistic exterior with very little windows to peep inside made me think it was some kind of workshop. My colleague took me here for breakfast one morning and I fell in love the moment I walked in!<br/ <br/ It is such a beautiful and humble space with so many things for the senses to feast on. A fully open kitchen with nothing to hide, a bustling by calming ambience walking in, an indoor plant store alongside homewares and hand-selected pantry items and let's not forget the baked goodies served by such understated but welcoming service.<br/ <br/ Oh my goodness, and how can I forget that amazing coffee. I would say the best almond latte I have found in Melbourne so far. Not the cheapest and wait times can be long but oh so worth it!<br/ <br/ I can't help myself, I've become a regular!

All very nice, really can spend the whole afternoon in CIBI working nonstop. Last time visiting this place it was a couple years ago with a friend from uni, we tried a few clean and delicious savoury dishes too. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I was feeling like a nice warm tea and I like how rich it was, slightly bitter but not overly bitter and it had a smooth texture. It was surprisingly busy but I guess maybe it being a Friday morning makes a difference as well as how popular this spot is. The Japanese grocery store is really cool as well as the exhibits and workshops they hold there, I think you could get great gifts here too. It’s also on the pricier side and I wouldn’t come back here again but it was cool. Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $1–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options
