A group of us shared 4 savouries and 2 sweet brekkie say Addict and most dishes were amazing. The corn fritters w haloumi was great, although I would like to see more haloumi. The eggs that accompanied it was perfectly poached. The hash and mushroom dish was beautiful as well, although I would say there were too much mushroom bits even for a mushroom lover like me. The cheese kransky breakfast is the same, too much mushroom bits but I love the crispy bacon and cheesey kransky. The thing that really shined is the coconut pana cotta and the chocolate pancakes. They were both beautifully presented and was a decadent finish to our meal.
I had brekkie here on Sunday, a friend of mine wanted to return after Yoga and I'd never tried it so I thought I'd give it a shot. I wasn't disappointed. Over the past couple of weeks, we've been exploring Fitzroy cafes and it's been really good. Addict was no different. It's a great spot, cool design, vibrant and buzzing. The staff are very nice and this is reflected in the level of service that we received. My flat white was good and, after going over the menu about 10 times and wrestling between the Pulled Pork Burger, Pork Belly and Ocean Trout; I elected to have the Go Green Breakfast w/ Mushrooms. The verdict? Good choice, it was really nice. I highly recommend it and I will definitely return.
Addict is our number one stop for breakfast in Melbourne. The menu is nice and simple and doesn't oversell itself but when your dish is served you get so much more than you'd expect. Simple ingredients are plated up as fine dining but the flavour is there too. Just be aware that service can be quite slow so it may not be the best choice if you're in a rush but if you're having a lazy morning the food is totally worth the wait-plus you can treat yourself to a cookie while you wait!
As if the Fitzroy cafe options didn't cause enough "where should we go for coffee/breakfasts/lunch?" dilemmas, Addict should now be firmly set in your shortlist. The coffee is solid. The menu is diverse and goes beyond the standards eggs and bacon options. Vegetarian seem to be well catered for - Northern Beans with poached eggs and confit tomatoes or the Potato Hash with mushroom duxelle got the thumbs up from meatosaurs eating at our table. Crumpets come with a pat of Pepe Saya butter and the cutest jars of house made preserves, or go all out and order them topped with smoked salmon, spinach and poached eggs. So bloody good. For those of the sweet persuasion, there's the fluffiest pancakes you will ever have topped with poached quince and mascarpone. They're "wholemeal" which is supposed to make you feel better about the overdose of sugar I guess. Kids can score a pancake, topped with icecream for a paltry $6 (or an egg on toast or rugrat-sized porridge). The lunch menu is appealing with salads, sandwiches (using Zeally Bay Sourdough) and seasonally appropriate mains of confit duck, pork belly or pulled pork. A cold winter's day getting stuck in to these while reading the paper sounds like the ideal scenario to me. So, who wants to go for lunch? read more
I came here for a lunch meeting as I was keen to check this place out and on seating they remarked "Is this your favourite local?". It was my first time there, but that is the vibe that this cafe gives. A bright, welcoming space that locals will quickly acquaint themselves with and become regulars. Coffee was decent and the menu was really interesting. I ordered the wholemeal gnocchi and was delighted at how jam-packed the dish was with vegetables. Overloaded with peas and beans and greenery, it looked as good as it tasted (unfortunately my hasty snap was too blurry to post!). The style reminded me of a St. Ali dish, so I wasn't surprised on further research that there are two ex-St Ali chefs in the kitchen. I grabbed a snap of my lunch buddy's dish too as it was almost like a pretty dessert, but packed full of things like chia seeds and puffed buckwheat so it was more nourishing than it looked. While it's in no way local to me, I would happily make a habit of coming here. read more

Brunch was once a meal I used to look forward to and now it has become a disappointing affair. Poached eggs and corn fritters don't make me happy anymore. Neither does sub par quality. All of which I experienced at addict. We waited 20 minutes for a table in the rain. My mocha tasted like hot milk with no taste of coffee. The corn fritters were dry and tasteless and the tomato kasundi didn't assist with any flavours as it was quite bland. Corn fritters don't go with poached eggs. Why? The tiny amount of onion and tomato salad with coriander leaves helped to some extent in making my meal not taste so average. The tiny bit of fried haloumi was nice. We were shuttled out as soon as our tables were cleared. Average food, below average coffee, and sub par service. read more
Excellent example of Melbourne cafe supremacy in Fitzroy. Minimal yet cosy inside, wonderful varied menu and of course excellent coffee. I had smashed avo with a side of smoked salmon, which was delicious. Very relaxed and friendly staff. Top notch read more

Absolutely epic breakfast here! I had a special, the chili scrambled eggs and it was different and yummy. The vibe in there is really positive, the staff are nice. Win, win, win. Would come again! read more
Went for brunch and was not disappointed. The tea, coffee, and food was delicious. We had the Go Green breakfast and the Eggs Benedict. The "go green" veggies were probably the most unexpectedly wonderful part of the meal. The servers were friendly and we will definitely go back again. read more

Awesome coffee, awesome food. Can't get enough of their Kim Chi Scramble. A special, special meal. Bit busy at time and may include a wait, but its vibrant location makes that totally fine by me. read more

Arguably one of the best meals I've had in Melbourne yet. Locals tell me it's one of the best brunch spots in the city and I can see why. Their dishes are amazing! Order the specials if you go on the weekends. Everything on the menu is worth trying! read more

We'd been wanting to try Addict for a while. Everything I'd read about it just made me want to visit. We arrived just after opening time at 7am and quickly settled in. This is one of those places where you feel instantly comfortable because of the pleasantness of the cafe surroundings and the cheeriness of the staff. We immediately ordered coffee. The coffee is carefully and expertly made and went over beautifully. I ordered the big breakfast. Channelling the views of a famous person once, I'm in awe of myself for making such an inspired menu choice. This is a very creatively composed dish. There's so much I liked about it that it's hard to list and I felt a deep and profound sense of regret when I finished it. We liked our server very much. Such a mightily efficient and pleasant person. She is a credit to her craft and we left an appropriate tip. Addict is a wonderful place. The current 4.4 rating is richly deserved. read more
