Bobby's Coffee - Kurunjang

I'll keep this review short, because I want you to go and experience Bobby's for yourself.It's the vibe. The music, the service, 5-star coffee (Melbourne's best? , and oh the bagels. THE BAGELS.Bobby's has firmly established itself as my favourite lunch spot in the city.

Who doesn’t love a good bagel? At last, there is a decent place to fill my lust for bagels. Although new, I’m pleasantly surprised to see consistent clientele coming here, mostly probably for their bagel fix just like me.<br/ <br/ Let’s start with the coffee. Brought my reusable cup and with a friendly smile, the staff filled with a flat white (not overfilled as many do). Coffee was a good strength and not too bitter. So if nothing else, come here for the coffee. But wait. There’s more! The bagels. Having eaten bagels on every continent, this place holds its own. I went for the New Yorker. You can choose what sort of bagel too – plain, sesame, Everything, blueberry, cinnamon raisin. I chose plain. Nicely packed with pastrami, gruyere cheese, pickles, dijon, aioli and greens, I was in heaven. The bagel itself was delightfully fresh without being either too moist from just coming out of the oven or dry from being a day old. Fresh! That’s the only word for it. The pastrami didn’t overpower the mixture of Dijon with aioli and the greens made me feel like I was eating something healthy – which I was.<br/ <br/ You can dine inside, although the space is small. There is outside seating as well. Staff were fabulous and despite being busy, had a smile for everyone and worked efficiently getting orders completed.<br/ <br/ The prices are very reasonable and along with a coffee, is well worth exploring more on the menu. Under $15 for a very good meal. Cheapest bagel is $6 and most expensive is $12. So much better supporting a new business with great food at reasonable prices than trotting into something that is a ‘machine’ making same old/same old.<br/ <br/ Congratulations Bobby’s. Good job. I will return.<br/ <br/ Apologies for no photo – got carried away and ate most of my bagel before I realised I hadn’t snapped a pic. Will upload one next time – and yes there will be a next time.<br/ <br/ Oh and do check out their website. Simple and funky. Says it all.<br/ <br/ Notes: Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Close to tram stop. Dietaries catered for – just let the staff know. Open 7am to 4pm.<br/ <br/ <br/

Great spot for grabbing a bagel and a coffee in a small but bright shopfront hidden just off the main drag. Although the menu isn’t huge, all the classics are represented (shmears, Reubens and the like) as well as plenty of vegetarian choices. Prices are good and there’s complimentary sparkling water, which is a huge draw card for me!

Bobby's is one of Melbourne's newest bagel shops. Unlike some other venues I won't name, Bobby's is unassuming and affordable yet still polished. The haloumi and egg on a large everything bagel is great value for $8. The Supreme coffee is also nice. Great spot for a quick breakfast or lunch.

Great bagels and the coffee is on point aswell. Try the pastrami bagel (new yorker).. so good, the meat was tender and the slaw complimented everything.. i will be trying the other bagels for sure.
