Was Michael H at Balderdash Cafe a mag?
Great menu with generous serving sizes. New management here and it shows. Service was attentive (maybe a little too much) but overall a pleasant experience. We’ll be back. View all feedback.

What Kayli Turner dislikes about Balderdash Cafe:
Balderdash has a choice location on a corner site of the cafe heavy strip that is Bay Street. It was a sunny morning and sadly the outdoor seating was already full. Service was quick, friendly enough, with the coffee being quite good but the food only average at best. Part of the food prep area is inside the cafe itself and as many patrons were having smoothies the very noisy blender was going very frequently. Balder... View all feedback.

I decided to try out this cafe on a whim today, as I work nearby and was craving a reuben sandwich. Luckily, Balderdash serves a delicious one that I thoroughly enjoyed! I also tried their soy mocha, which was very tasty. The atmosphere is light and relaxed, and the service staff are incredibly friendly. I had a brief chat with the owner, Viv, while paying the bill and she was lovely. It's clear that she is passionate about making this cafe the best it can be, especially since taking it over from the previous owner last year. This was my first visit here, but it definitely won't be my last. I look forward to returning soon and trying out more items from the menu.

Went to Balderdash the morning after I landed in Melbourne—perfect place to get back into the brunch lifestyle! Best coffee and best chai (also one of the few places that actually does an iced chai). Food is delicious, satisfying and fairly priced. The owners are lovely and make everyone feel at home! Definitely a favourite.

I was greet by a really pleasant staff member. I felt really comfortable and the coffee came out quickly and tasted beautiful. If your in Port Melbourne definitely worth visiting here . Coffee was reasonable priced as well.

A lovely, friendly cafe in a great location in Port Melbourne, Balderdash is a great place to stop in for a coffee. With warm and welcoming staff, and a bustling vibe, it can get really busy here but the staff still manage to look after everyone equally. Coffee is perfect and there is a delicious food menu, as well as a great assortment of baked goodies. A beautiful spot to sit and relax with friends, Balderdash is definitely a winner in this area.
