I spent a big chunk of my work egg king holiday here at Cherry, they got to know my "usual" order. Everything is made from scratch and to order. Delicious unpretentious food, plenty of outlets for working on your laptop for hours whilst sipping on a perfect flat white.

Some were overly done as in sophisticated ingredients or composition. It looks like a very popular place. The fresh squeezed orange juice was great. Some dishes the carb to protein and healthy fat ratio were way towards the carb range. Not that I'm expecting that from a restaurant.

As such, they were only doing takeaway, but they did have some seating out the front where people could sit, and they were also accepting keep cups, something that I certainly did appreciate since I'm not a fan of disposable cup. I grabbed a coffee, and it was nice, though probably not one of the best. It was a shame that I couldn't grab anything to eat, but it is sort of understandable in such times.

This is one of my go to cafes when I am in the city on-the-go. Tucked in an alley of cafes off…read moreFlinders Lane (Centre Pl), the ladies behind the counter are always so chirpy and friendly. They seem to know all their regulars too. There is limited seating in the cafe (~three tables inside, and 2 small ones outside), though it's one of those places great for your grab-and-go. In the city where it costs a fair bit much (for me) to dine in a cafe on a daily basis, 3 Little Monkeys is pocket-friendly (affordable). They do breakfast deals ($5) and lunch deals ($8? $8.50?) - an item off the food cabinet (for breakfast, only the ones on the top row and sweet case) and a small coffee (get a size upgrade for 50cents). With a whole alley full of little cafes offering different food+coffee options and deals, it is tempting to try every one of them. Albeit, once I am hooked, I will always go back. And I have. Keep up the great work, ladies!

I stopped here for lunch and ordered the Spinach and feta pida. The pida was ok but I didn't think…read moreit had much flavor. The server at the counter wasn't very helpful and wasn't interested in answering questions about their menu and food items. The prices were reasonable.

While I wouldn't necessarily say that it was love at first sight for this place, it didn't take all…read morethat long for me to realise how awesome a place it was to grab some breakfast. Actually, it went beyond awesome, if that is at all possible. Like, their eggs benedict was nothing short of perfection, and in fact they made it in a way that suggested that they were more than willing to add their own special touch to it. Yeah, I have to say that I absolutely loved this place, and I probably should mentioned that they made an awesome pot of tea as well.

Love this cafe! I spent a lot of time here when I frequented Epworth on Bridge Rd. The cafe itself…read moreis super cool, minimalist and concrete. The food is great, but you cannot go without trying one of two dishes: The breakfast burrito and the pumpkin pancakes. I usually lean towards savoury when it comes to brekkie, but hot damn they got good cakes! If you want something smaller, they have out if this world muffins if you're a muffin fan! Great place to check out if you're in the area. Fail safe, never disappoints.

We popped into Brunetti thinking it was just a small cafe, but it's so much bigger than we…read moreexpected! The place is huge, with tons of seating, beautiful Italian-inspired décor, and a warm, inviting vibe. Perfect spot to duck in on a chilly Melbourne day. We ordered the Italian hot chocolate with cream....rich, thick, and absolutely indulgent and a small tiramisu that was light, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Both were excellent. I can't wait to come back and try the food options. The menu looked amazing, and with so much space to sit and relax, it's definitely a place you can spend time in without feeling rushed. Highly recommend if you're in Melbourne and craving good sweets, coffee, or just a cozy spot to unwind.

The pastries are just as impressive, plus there's a wood-fired pizza oven and multiple stations where you can casually hang out. We stopped in during the Christmas holidays and loved seeing locals picking up desserts for their celebrations. A fun, lively spot frequented by both locals and tourists, and a great place to pause with a coffee and a pistachio cannoli.

Lovely cafe, with a good selection of food favourites that come in generous serves. Coffee is also good. Haven't tried it but I know they also offer happy hour deals, so it looks as good for after work as it is for pre work hours. Friendly and speedy service makes the experience lovely.

This eclectic cafe gives me exactly what I need on a lazy Sunday morning…read more A slightly ram shackled atmosphere and decor that echos my state of mind. Solo dinners linger over the Sunday papers, families gather, communal tables mix it up with groups and couples and friends co-eating. Despite the number and range of customers it all seems to flow throughout the two dining rooms well. The counter is tiny and while waiting to settle up you do manage to feel in the way but you can distract yourself by wondering if you could possibly fit one of the yummy looking muffins or slices! I never can after a good sized brunch, but the option is there! The coffee is good (although I have better) and the menu has something to appeal to everyone-the usual brunch standards as well as a few unique options to mix things up. This place is good value and the service chaotic yet usually spot on. Swing by on a weekday and your experience will probably mirror the more relaxed atmosphere.

Recently…read morethey've moved with the gentrified times and given up on their wild raggerty looking youth appearance and have blossomed into a smart looking young adult, while retaining a prominent creative edge. They were the first café I ever frequented to have a communal table and it is huge and suits the second large room perfectly. The kitchen produces classic café fare and do a pretty mean steak sandwich with a delicious homemade sauce, and the chips aren't bad too. They have a great selection of pasta and fresh specials to chose from. The coffee really depends on who makes it, but 9 times out of ten, this place does it right. With 5 people or 50, there is always a cool buzz in the tin pot air. The staff can be caught laughing and singing and it just makes you want to join in the fun. Open from early til late for breakfast, lunch and dinner (excluding dinner on weekends) this place still gets a big tick of approval.
