A cleverly named business, the Village People boasts some very captivating wall art inside and is more of a play on it being an actual small town rather than a Village People themed cafe. You won't find an Indian or construction worker serving you breakfast unfortunately. They have quite a large range of options available for eating and drinking. I tried the breakfast burger which had homemade beetroot relish on it and was quite tasty, however the burger as a whole was a bit hit and miss, quite large but not super flavoursome. Their coffee is pretty good and meets the Melbourne coffee snob standard :) Toilets are located outside of the café but not too far. It gets busy among the locals so grab a table early.

You can select from the breakfast or lunch menu all day. Our food was good but not great. Everyone was hungry thus it was a welcome sight. Fish and chips were average. The chunky chips were bright yellow and I enjoyed the small side salad. My friend enjoyed her toastie which they serve a couple variations that can be customised. The extra star goes to the service. One of the ladies took time to chat when she heard our American accent. They were receptive to questions about the two types of fish served and extra sauce requests. It was nice to feel welcomed in a place like this.

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.
