Republic Of Letters - Kurunjang

A nice little French inspired cafe in Balwyn that attracted our attention whilst looking for a coffee in the area. Simply wanting a coffee, we were drawn in by the display of home made sweet treats, so were happy to grab a table here.<br/ <br/ The cafe is a cosy space, decked out with lots of French memorabilia, and the staff made us feel instantly welcome. This is a lovely, comfortable venue.<br/ <br/ We picked a decadent lemon meringue tart, and it was just sublime. A really tangy lemon curd, perfect short pastry and a huge cloud of fluffy meringue. The tart was perfectly balanced, and is one of the best lemon meringue tarts I've had.<br/ <br/ It was a pleasant surprise to find this little cafe, and with it's fantastic coffee and amazing pastries, this definitely won't be our last time at Republic of Letters.

All the warmth of the French countryside in suburban Balwyn. The bistro style and attentive friendly service complement the wonderful variety of classic French flavors from a kitchen and chef that is in full view of diners. A delicious and entertaining experience.

The food is good, the service is excellent. Republic of Letters is a french-style cafe in Balwyn with a real French chef! We enjoyed the Vegetable Fritters and Croque Madame. The scrambled eggs were just ok for us. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful making for a great experience.

Amazing food, from amazing friendly waiters from a jolly and inspired French chef. Love coming back here every week! Never had a bad experience, and all of the staff and chef are more than happy to make any adjustments to the menu, which is particularly helpful to my girlfriend who is vegetarian. The coffee is great, the atmosphere is fun and I’m happy to call this place my local breakfast spot.

I 'lived ' in an AIRBNB for 3 weeks right around the corner from the Republic of Letters Cafe.  I frequented it many mornings for scrumptious breakfasts, coffee, orange juice.  Ronnie his wife, Lorena, have done a splendid job in a year 's time of supplying the cafe, decorating with a Paris theme, putting together a fine staff of waiters cooks. I am soon leaving and wish I could take the whole Republic of Letters Cafe including everything back to America so I can have a grand breakfast !Deliciouso! coffee every morning in Cody, Wyoming. Thanks Lorena Ronnie and your staff for making my stay extra delightful in this enchanting Balwyn neighborhood.  peace, love,woodstock, Norm  Ciao, i mean, Cheers!
