Large, fairly basically fitted out cafe located just across the road from the old Melbourne jail and just up from old police headquarters. Time has certainly moved on big time in this area. Now, much of the area is about international students going to RMIT and other nearby institutions. There’s good amounts of indoor and outdoor seating at this cafe. I found myself sort of quite liking it. It’s mid range sure but good nonetheless. The coffee was quite pleasant. They had a nice playlist on too and the service was pleasant. The one meal I did see come out looked a bit basic though. It’s a classic 3.5 for me. And, if marking up or down, justice demands the former not the latter.

The burger is a decent sized patty on a toasted sesame seeded bun with cheese, lettuce and tomato you don't need to go hunting for that comes with a good serve of crunchy seasoned shoe string chips for $13.50.  It knocks the socks off the tiny offering on a cold bun from Betty's Burgers.

It felt like the beans for the coffee were harvested, roasted, and ground on the spot, and the chickens needed to grow up before laying the eggs and cooking them. I was worried that Melbourne would be underwater before my breakfast arrived. Unfortunately, the long wait was not worth it. I was so hungry that I almost starved. I would not go back to this restaurant.

Very tasty breakfast. Choosed because was nearest to my hotel. Lots of local classic dressed people, so its a good sign that food is tasty and for a reasonable... read more Very tasty breakfast.
