The aesthetic is very cool, and I love seeing the art all along the walls and the nods to NZ. No matter how busy it gets, the staff are attentive, kind, and friendly (especially Christy), and they even remember my coffee order. The coffee is fantastic, the food is delicious, and the portion sizes are great. I love that you can have dishes as-is or you can make them vegan friendly (always helpful when eating with a group of friends)! Since it’s located near the botanic gardens and the beach, I also love being able to take out anything I want for picnics. Will be coming back here again; highly recommend. Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $20–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Smashed Avocado with Halloumi Vegetarian options: A lot of items on the menu are already vegetarian friendly, but you can always customize a dish to be more vegetarian vegan friendly (at request) easily. Dietary restrictions: They have a lot of different options and are understanding helpful regarding dietary restrictions. Edit: I forgot to mention their gluten free meals and desserts! I just enjoyed the gluten free raspberry coconut cake, it was perfect with my flat white.

Batch still has the same retro aesthetic it has had for as long as I 've known it, with NZ memorabilia on the walls, and a comfortable welcoming neighbourhood vibe. Food is excellent, a cut above the usual cafe standards, with better than typical healthy and vegetarian options. Coffee is from experienced Melbourne roasters Coffee Supreme, with house blend on the espresso machine plus the highlight of a single origin filter available on Moccamaster. All up, this is a perfect neighbourhood café with a welcoming atmosphere that does food and coffee exceptionally well. Tables available along pavement as well as inside. Dog friendly. Packed on weekends. Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $20–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian options: Vegetarians are spoiled for choice with 15 of the 18 dishes on the menu vegetarian (often with bacon, smoked salmon etc as optional add ons), and there are several vegan options available.
