Nice bright modern cafe on Heidelberg Road. Simplicity is the order of the day with the decor and…read moreit works well. It's whites and predominantly soft tones with some nice designer greenery on the wall. Soothing contemporary music was playing in the background too. Nice atmosphere. I had the breakfast bruschetta. I had been looking forward to the smashed peas dish which was still on the online menu. However, the menu has changed and that dish was no longer available. The breakfast bruschetta was pleasant with lovely fresh ingredients. But, the dish still had two not insignificant issues. First, I agree with a previous reviewer that the portion sizes can be a bit small. One slice of toast for an over $20 dish (with the optional egg) seems a bit mingy to me and I was left wanting a little more. Second, the dish was under seasoned and bland without largish amounts of pepper and salt added. All in all, a slightly disappointing offering in my view. On a better note, the coffee here was very good and well up to exacting Melbourne standards. A lovely brew that was immensely enjoyable. Service was lovely. This is a local cafe with a good following. There's clearly a good bond here between the owners/staff and locals. For me though on today's experience, the food could do with a lift.

Everything in Melbourne is just a bit samey and call me grumpy, but why has everyone accepted the fact it can take up to an hour to even get a table at most places for the same old avo on sourdough? My weekend visit to The Maling Room was such a refreshing change that i walked away feeling happy, full and wondering when I can pop by again. We were greeted by friendly staff who were quick to bring out a pretty fabulous tasting latte while I looked through the menu. The variety was great and although i ended up going for the special of warm grain salad with lamb (amazing!), the brunch offerings looked delicious. The vibe was friendly, relaxed and efficient. Definitely worth a trip to the 'burbs.

This place seems like they should serve lots of high tea...the cafe is broken up into a few sections.

Service was efficient, food was fresh and seats were comfortable. The price was as expected in Kew and overall enjoyed the brunch. Should try: The Sloppy Joe, Sweet potato fritters, Mr. BIG oh and the Berry Smoothie came in a glass flask. The only thing that some people may not like is the level of noise when the restaurant is full.

When you look at the menu you'll be pleasantly surprised to see that not only do they have the usual suspects of breakfast and lunch choices, they also have many awesome extras such as pulled pork belly burgers, and scotch eggs (yes scotch eggs) with a twist. Being a Brit I couldn't let scotch eggs pass me by so I took the plunge, eagerly awaiting what was to come. When it did arrive I was actually a bit blown away. It came on a nest of fries that had been woven together to form a birds nest. The scotch eggs were perfect with runny yolks and the nest and accompanying tomato base was really tasty too. My dining partner chose a fruit salad. When I say fruit salad this was no ordinary fruit salad. It contained so many fruits and berries and every piece looked like it should have been on a menu photograph. Apparently it tasted great too. You can tell the chefs and owners care about their food here. The coffee is really nice too and it's all very reasonably priced. I'm definitely coming back here. And if it's as good second time out I'm upping my review to five stars.

They're reaching for many different markets but it doesn't feel like they're trying too hard, seems to come easy. On the menu they have the healthy-set options think egg whites, rice bread, cold pressed juices and fresh baby coconut etc. Cool, will bring my fuss bucket sisters here. There's several 'build-your-own' options for fussy eaters. A very strong interesting breakfast menu, given the way it was presented it seemed like it might change regularly. Coffee game: strong. Value: strong. Interesting options on the menu: strong. I had Mr Bean and wow, was it interesting and like nothing that came before it. Poached eggs, tofu, mock meat, stir-fry veg. Different? Yes. Delicious? Yes! Dining partner had the scotch eggs. Two golden brown eggs in a potato rosti nest. The tomato underneath brought a nice bit of heat. He fancied his breakfast. As we finished up we both mused that this has become our new favourite.
