With a North Westerly Aspect, this cafe is located perfectly for a spot of brunch, lunch or dinner. This was my first visit, and as I only popped in for a coffee, I can't say too much right now, but the menu looked delicious, and the coffee was good. So I'll be be going all "Governator" on this place too!
I had high expectations reading reviews and friend's recommendations. However, I was bitterly disappointed. 3 tiny burnt pancakes that wasn't properly cooked on the inside for $17?! The pancakes at Maccas are better. The Baconator was also average. We were still hungry after and had to go another place to have a meal. The service was quick and friendly, perhaps I just got them on an off day in the kitchen but I won't be returning anytime soon.
What a surprise! Nothing about this place alludes to the amazing Latin American inspired menu on offer. Not the name, nor the decor. It's a small place, with a misleading shop front. From the outside I was pretty sure it was nothing but a milk bar. Walking in there's a surprising amount of space for eating in and seating for those waiting on take away orders. And big windows mean there's plenty of light. It was a really comfortable place to sit, relax and over eat while reading a good book. I'm not typically a meat eater. I am definitely an omnivore, but chicken and bacon are my usual go to meat products. What led me to order the meat filled Toasted Cubanos when my favourite avo on toast was available? Inspiration from the movie Chef. That movie made excessive amounts of meat with cheese look delicious! And it was! The sandwich comes with porketa, ham, chipotle mayo, tomato relish and gruyere cheese. EPIC! I'm drooling just thinking about if again. The menu also included huevos rancheros and corn cakes with guacamole which I'll be back to try out!! As usual I enjoyed a hot chocolate, although they have Padre coffee which I've heard is very good. The hot chocolate is a must try. Wonderfully sweet, with a little bit of spice and cinnamon! Delicious! Can't wait to head back there and make my way through the menu.
Was in the area and thought we'd drop in for breakie. Cute little establishment bordering on the hipster look and green. Limited menu with some nice selections. However if you would like any extras with your meal it's $5 a pop - a bit over priced. Ordered the breakfast Brioche, which first impression on the mismatched places wasn't very appealing. However it was a tasty burger for $11 (no extras). Staff a nice and friendly.
What a super sweet little gem, tucked in Footscray's back streets! I went for a very early weekday breakfast, and everything was very, very good. The Huevos Rancheros was really yummy and an interesting take on the dish; perfectly poached eggs with a sprinkling of cheese, nestled in corn chip baskets and surrounded by delicious refried beans, coriander and yoghurt. There were some great flavours in there (although a little seasoning was needed). It was a large-ish serve, it wasn't heavy or too rich; I finished the lot without a hint of my usual 'I-hate-my-life-and-am-filled-with-regret' feeling that accompanies a big egg breakfast. My friend had the quinoa porridge with fresh papaya, coriander and coconut cream, and that looked amazing. Would definitely it that next time.
Exactly what I need from a breakfast cafe. Don't let the outside turn you off, this place is serving the goods. I had the brioche bacon and egg burger.. I don't have the words to describe it. The guacamole was perfect seasoned, and the egg was perfectly runny. Probably my best breakfast in Melbourne - so far. Check it out if you're in Footscray.
Haven't been for ages! Was disappointed the egg and bacon brioche had sold out and that they don't stock almond milk. Anyways, I tried the quinoa porridge for $12 with a side of honey and it was delicious! We also had scrambled eggs on GF toast with bacon, that was also delicious. We asked for the eggs to be scrambled well and it was done to perfection. Nice and clean joint with friendly wait and counter staff! Give it a go!
I think this is my new favourite place in the inner wild West.... If you're southside like moi and have friends westside, Footscray Milking Station is a good compromise as its in the middle. It's a cute little cafe smack bang in on the of the prettier tree-lined streets of Footscray and within walking distance of Footscray station. Great selection of cakes to choose from and the soy lattes are pretty spectacular too. I had the huevos rancheros with bacon and they were rather delicious - two poached eggs encased in tortilla shell with beans, cheese and sour cream. Also got a couple of thousand rations of bacon on top, although two would have sufficed. There is no harm in being generous though, so thanks for that guys. My brunch companions had the corn fritters and gushed about their deliciousness. I will try them next time round. Highly recommend if you're in the hood. But even if you're not its a short drive or train ride away. Go on, cross the river. Inner west is tres cool these days with plenty of options. read more
Breakfasts out west do not get any better than this, milkshakes in the west also do not get better than this. I adore this place :) Recently they extended and more indoor tables means less of a fight for my morning breakfast on a weekend! I have never had a bad meal here, breakfasts are always cooked to perfected and they are not uppity about making small changes to your breakfast menu order like other cafes have started to do. I cannot comment on the coffee but can say their milkshakes are to die for, served in an old school stainless steel container and using Jonesy's milk they are just amazing. Service wise I would say it is great, they are a small outfit and it is very busy. They do their best and always manage a smile along the way. My tip at the moment would be the eggs atlantic with an amazing Salmon fillet as part of it! Makes the old smoked salmon seem a little pedestrian I must say :) read more

If it wasn't for being milked of $26 at the Milking station I would give it a better rating. But $15 for avocado toast, $5 for bacon and $3 for each egg is a little steep for my liking. Better value and taste elsewhere. $3 per egg seriously! read more

Sat at a long table alongside a family. We ordered two piccolos and two strong flat whites, which tasted okay, as it was the house blend. We ordered the baked eggs with sausage. Our order took awhile on account it was baked eggs. Nice brick venue with large windows and counter seating. It is located a few blocks from the station, so it was easily accessible. read more
