My long black was a good one and was served not just with the cold milk on the side I ordered but also with extra hot water just in case I needed it. A few Melbourne places could learn from that type of thoughtful service. The coffee was substantive and well made. It had excellent length. I didn't eat here but I liked the look of the menu which had some very interesting items, including the Hung Roll which is available as a combo with a Bloody Mary. Well designed wine list here too. Interesting place. I'll be back for sure.

We entered the establishment and were greeted pleasantly by staff who treated us to excellent customer service throughout our visit and even let us bring in our carbon her carry case. I ordered poached eggs with a side of guacamole and chorizo with and a flat white to drink. The flat white came out nice and the eggs were cooked well, but I found the guacamole to be lacking a little flavour (adding chilli isn't enough) and the chorizo was a bit tough to eat. So my experience as a whole was ok, but I would suggest trying to find another place for brunch in the area. Might come back for lunch one day.

The local said the food was great and the service exceptional. He's right. It's a terrific place. I received a beautiful warm and friendly greeting on arrival. It's not a large place but it feels good here with an overall Spitfire influenced theme. That's Spitfire as in Spitfire the old aeroplane. I wasn't in an adventurous mood so ordered the Spitfire Burger with chips. The chips were delicious. Hot, tasty and beautifully cooked Very generous serve too. Same with the burger. Decent sized. In fact, too big for me to go close to finishing it. It had a good flavoured patty and was also very nicely cooked. This is a good, very well run place. Everything's in harmony. It's clearly a much loved place going by the people coming in and out regularly and the warm greetings and conversation I could hear. Nice place. Recommended.

They come served with a knife pierced though the middle to hold it all together! And the sweet potato chips/wedges are a must, consider them to be the healthy alternative to the usual plain potato. Service is attentive & friendly and kids are catered for with colouring pictures & pencils which is a pleasant distraction to a mobile phone. If you have room for dessert, well there are options too but I've never been able to fit in dessert. There are lots of aviation photos & memorabilia to keep enthusiasts happy.

From the outside, you may feel you are at the wrong place but please do try it. The cafe is attached to the local pool but has it's own area that is closed off and even an outdoor space.

Went in a group of 4 and everyone left feeling very full and happy. Highlights were the flat bread (pizza), salmon and seafood bowl. From the drinks side you could have an early tipple or try their teas with funky names.

3.6 Unusual location…read moreattached to a swimming pool and across from commercial businesses in Capel Sound out the back of Dromana. No matter at all. It's a very spacious and quirky breakfast and lunch cafe with heaps of space between tables. There's a communal table too. The whole area has a comfortable spacious feel. Good chance this space was once a bowling alley, I reckon. I chose tomatoes on toast with bacon. Not a cheap dish when you add the bacon at $6 but it's a good dish nonetheless. First off, it's a lovely looking offering. It looks good on the plate. The cherry tomatoes on the vine were absolutely gorgeous. Plump, juicy and cooked perfectly. They were also really nicely seasoned and also had a light smattering of sesame seeds. The spinach on the toast was cooked perfectly, and was nicely warm and sitting up with plenty of moisture still evident. There was also a very good hummus with the dish as well. I was told later that this is made onsite. My only slight criticisms are that parts of the dish were slightly cool when it arrived and the egg was just over and had no running yolk. These are small criticisms though. I really liked the dish a lot. My partner had the chicken schnitzel focaccia with bacon which she liked without ever becoming rapturous. My long black to finish was quite good. A nice coffee. Service was good throughout. Nice music playing too adding to the happy atmosphere. Interesting place. I liked it and would happily return.

Merchant and Maker looks deceptively humble from the street nestled in a small shopping strip. It's actually a spacious cafe with ample inside and outside seating. And, it's located directly across from the breach. It's nicely fitted out in a contemporary way with brightness coming from the predominant white decor. There was lovely music on today. Someone has a really good playlist. Overall there's a lovely atmosphere at this cafe and it's a very nice place to sit a spell. I received a lovely greeting on arrival. Good menu here, but things are a little expensive, $2-3 above city prices in some cases. $6 to add extras to my brekkie eggs seemed a bit OTT to me. I had a gorgeous long black with cold milk on the side and it was very nicely presented on a board. Very very good coffee. Best coffee in the immediate area on the peninsula. I chose poached eggs on sourdough with beans and bacon. The toasted sourdough was too dry, the eggs not quite runny enough to offset the dryness. Another earlier reviewer had mentioned the dryness of the bread and they were right. The bread needs to softened in another way as parts of it were tough to eat. The dish was unseasoned too. I had to ask for salt and pepper which wasn't available on any table. Absolutely beautiful bacon, and superbly cooked. Best bacon I've tasted for a while, with gorgeous crisp edges. It was the best part of the dish. The beans were over sweetened. Like seriously too too sweet. It was a shame as they otherwise had good flavour. It was also a tiny serve for $6. So, overall the meal was not quite there for me. Service was lovely throughout. It has the makings but overall this cafe can do better.

Even though this place has been voted number 1, it certainly didn't live up to its expectations…read more Takeaway coffee was terrible, just tepid milk and water. I had the club sandwich, wasn't even a sandwich just a roll with chicken and bacon. The poached eggs and bacon was minimal for the price. But the worst dish has to be the fried chicken. Even though it was boneless, the meat was all grisly and fatty, leaving little meat and the coleslaw was just cut up cabbage. Even though we made a complaint about how bad the meal was, there was nothing done about it. Overall, very expensive overrated shit.
