What Anneliese Bosch likes about Friends of Mine:
First time visiting this cafe and being able to dine in after a while of takeaway only. Was so glad to finally enjoy a mug of coffee instead of takeaway cups. View all feedback. What Lonnie Kunze doesn't like about Friends of Mine:
Had really high hopes for this place... I had passed it multiple times and wanted to try it for a while. Finally, upon almost going to my favourite place close by, I decided to give it a try. I wasn't fully disappointed. The coffee was presented well, tasted good and even my main meal was good (although highly overpriced..). But for such a sunny, bright and happy day, the staff just seemed down in the dumps. Service... View all feedback.

Unreal - hollandaise drenched, fresh green sprout/floral garnish, and a ham hock that melts in you mouth - most likely the best eggs benedict in Melbourne

Food was really nice but the bread under the golden folded eggs was a little too crisp and very small for how much eggs were on top.
