The thing was that when I came here we didn't have all that much time so I just grabbed a take-away tea and ran to catch the train, but looking around I really wanted to spend some more time here. Oh, and the staff were awesome, which is probably why I want to come back.

Located in Bundoora Square, Cafe Lucio appears to be a favorite for the locals. Writing this review…read moreat 10:30am on a Monday morning and the place is quite busy. There is a lot of seating available both inside and out. It is a basic café by which you take a seat and look over the menu and order at the counter. All of the menus on the tables are very worn with the laminate almost completely coming apart. When I arrived it wasn't too busy. After receiving my table number I proceeded to sit back down. I didn't have to wait long before my coffee was dumped on my table and the runner gone from sight. The coffee was not good, it tasted as if the coffee beans had been burnt. On the up side the food also didn't take long and I was presented with my Eggs Benedict with bacon. This wasn't the best meal I've had, but not the worst. The eggs were hot when I smooshed them open which is a plus, although they were slightly overdone and not as runny as I like them. All in all, a little disappointed considering the obvious popularity of this cafe. The prices are reasonable and reflect the meals :)

Skilled baristas, freshly baked pastries, enormous focaccias, and heavenly muffins make it the ultimate all rounder in the university-dining scene. Packed with students, administration staff and academics the tables fill up fast so be prepared to take your coffee and food elsewhere for a seat, or attempt to make room for yourself at some one of the busy tables. The raspberry and white chocolate muffins are fantastic. Enormous and surprisingly healthy they are a meal in themselves and are even better warmed up. Shepherds pies and enormous salads are also a winner. For smaller bites opt for a fresh croissant or some delicate macaroons. After raving about them to my housemates I had to buy several the next day (it was actually kind of embarrassing), and they were an instant success. With the backdrop of the library the little café is of course, pretty quiet and the big windows at the front provide a lot of light and a view out into the Agora where you can people watch, or alternatively avoid eye contact with strangers.
