We were politely greeted when we arrived and the lovely man made sure our table was level.

Solid brunch place with some inventive breakfast items on a cool street. Ordered the babaganoush…read morebreakfast plate with two poached eggs on top of toast with grilled halloumi and a smear of babganoush on the bottom of the plate. It was tasty but the threw all of the items on the two pieces of toast piled on top of one another - like they were in too big a rush to notice or care and I had to reconstruct it myself. Would have liked a bit more of the eggplant spread given that it was featured in the menu listing up front and not barely enough to call it a condiment. Coffee looked pretty but was just okay. Nice place overall.

But back to the food, you know how there's those cafes you go to for coffee and you get something to eat because you should (even though you aren't all that hungry) then the food comes and you wish you hadn't.

Firstly we were told to sit and someone will come to us we waited and waited and waited no one came however when someone finally came she served the lady next to us who came after us we felt special... The same waitress then continued to talk with other patrons near us for around 15 minutes she can't be to busy... The food was bland overpriced very average at best we frequent many other places in the area that are so much better with food and service not sure how you have a 4.5 score I give you a 1 at best. If you're looking for nice food and good service try anywhere else but this place. I leave good reviews when I have a good experience and a negative review if I have a poor experience I have to say it's little wonder your business is poorly run when the owner can't even handle feedback your unprofessional reply pretty much sums up my negative feedback. ***UPDATE*** After meeting with the owner in person, he still failed to address any of the issues I raised online. I was told that I should have raised the issues when we were asked how the meal was. Maybe because we weren't asked! The staff member already knew we weren't happy with the service, and had no interest in asking. Just a heads up to anyone looking to try this place - the owner told me that negative Google reviews are only used by people wanting freebies. He has no interest in making any changes.

Never dissapoint. Amazing customer service. Friendly staff…read more Food is incredible. Try the brekkie burger. Patty is succulent and cooked perfectly. Burger stays together while you eat it.

One word - amazing :)…read more The food was super delicious and presented beautifully. The hotcakes weren't too sweet and the eggs were well cooked. I think the flavors complimented everything really well. The service was quick and friendly as well. The ambience of the cafe really set the tone of the space. The timeless structure of the building was renovated tastefully. Really pleasant place to chill and pass the time. Would love to come again. Thanks

I myself can't eat it due to dietary restrictions but my French dude was really stoked to try it. We rocked to the little cafe around 1pm and it was chock a block full of lunching mums. No inside seats were left so we grabbed a table out front. Service was a bit slow but it was busy and they were friendly throughout. We ordered two decent if standard coffees and the steak tartare (for him), the Chapin breakfast (for me). Sadly, I wasn't impressed. The tartare was ok, if missing the raw egg that is essential in a French bistro. My breakfast, on the other hand was really disappointing. I had been happy to see plantains on the menu...you never see them in Melbourne. I'm used to having them sweeter, with an almost candied tang. These were a bit starchier and blander than I liked. I'm not sure if it was the cooking technique or if Brother Nancy is serving up a different type of plantain but it wasn't great. The plantains were served with very nice, fluffy pile of scrambled eggs, some very under seasoned black beans, and a dense, greasy piece of toast. It was all very heavy, bland, and unexciting. They're aiming for South American but there was no spice, no tangy salsa to enliven it, no fresh tortillas. It just failed utterly and at 16 dollars, was the most expensive item on the menu. No thanks. I'm not in any rush to return here. A shame, as this part of town deserves a good cafe.

Once upon a time, not so very long ago... Luca Haus was a furniture store about eight doors away…read morefrom its current location. Their rent went up and so they relocated and evolved into a specialty food store and cafe combo. Whilst my house has a few pieces from the old incarnation, I'm happy they made the transition. Personally, the food and coffee served here does very little for me. On that front I'd be inclined to give it two stars. But the specialty food store part... well that's another matter. Akin to a store in Queen Victoria Market's deli section, they have a gorgeous selection of cheeses, dips and other bits and pieces you won't find elsewhere - black rice, special sauces, fresh pasta, Bocastle gluten free pies to take home, fresh bread and coffee beans. Yummo.

Fabulous breakfast! Best french toast I have EVER had. And the service was so friendly and quick…read more Much appreciated after spending ten minutes sitting in a cafe down the road and not even being offered a menu.

Yep this place is awesome…read more Family owned cafe with a Greek spin on the traditional breakfast meals. A lot of love gets put into the food you can tell by the presentation, service and taste. Not even going to recommend what you should get there - just go there and order whatever you like because I bet you any money it's going to taste delicious! Special mention to the chai latte I ordered - it was a skinny vanilla with a pot of honey. It was absolutely divine I will come back to this place for that chai latte alone! They have a whole display case of sweets and desserts that I'm eyeing out on my next trip over. Sooo good and I'm thrilled that I only live around the corner from this place. Keep it up team!

The exposed brick and rough wood walls add the right amount of warmth and the large windows with stained glass features make the overall feel very airy. What about the food - delicious!

I have had samples from the lunch menu, including the pulled pork of late, and if you aren't an all day breakfast person there are plenty of yummy options from the lunch menu too. Coffee is also great so it's an all round winner!
