I loved their interior design and the color and how bright the inside was. Their food also looks very hip (definitely instagram worthy)! So by its look, this place deserves five-stars. However in terms of taste, I wasn't really amazed at this location. Their salmon was a bit too salty and chilli egg was aight. (Not a fan of mushy texture- didn't have much flavor). I liked their seasame latte though. Price is average considered in Melbourne and their service was good.

Personally, if I had to pick between this place or the other popular brunch spot next door, Hash,…read moreI'd go with this one. They have a lot more menu options and their portions are bigger. I'd mark this as one of the best brunch spots in CBD. The quality is average but the things they put together are unheard of and I like that new experience. My food unfortunately took nearly 90 mins to come out but they gave me another free crafted drink to make up for it. Their matcha latte and cappuccino are satisfying.

Yeah, it turned out that this place was pretty cool, and the service was fantastic.

The other thing was that the tea was actually pretty nice as well, so, yeah, this place is definitely recommended.

Great environment. Decently priced. I can't imagine that there are too many places better.

Slow service and inaccurate meals let down this new breakfast spot in Malvern. The simple breakfast…read morestaple of smashed avocado and eggs with goats cheese and cherry tomato is more accurately 1.5 pieces of toast with 1/2 a plate of tomato (not cherry tomato) and some avocado pieces and a speck of goats cheese.

Excellent hollandaise and asparagus. The salmon is expensive as a side at $6 a pop though!

We came back twice while staying at The Como and enjoyed the atmosphere of sitting curb side, watching the regulars pop in, many with their pooches, and the friendliness of the owner. We would have loved to sample more of the menu but generally it's just coffee for us first thing in the morning. Next time we visit might have to change that rule.

This place did not disappoint. I was lucky enough to be having brunch with a friend who loves food, taking pictures of it and sharing everything he gets. He was also really hungry and ordered two different items off the menu. Thus we had a feast of El Gringo, muesli, and I ordered the French toast with bacon, bananas and ricotta. The El Gringo was ridiculously good! All the different flavors on the plate combined to create one amazing dish and two happy tummies! I'm not a muesli connoisseur so I don't have much to say, but it was very fresh, light and pleasing. The French toast is the bomb-dot-com! You have to try it! You have to make sure to get a small pice of everything in one bite. It is heaven in your mouth! I will definitely return to this place and will bring all of my overseas visitors AND tell all my friends about it. I liked it that much. Last but not least, I spoke to my friend today an he said he's been having dreams about the French toast we had! Haha he wants to go again before he flys home to LA.

I used to trek a fair distance to get to Atomica, and was very excited when I moved near by - my hungover walks to get my strong latte's were a lot shorter! But if you go to a café for a friendly barista and some great service, Atomica may not be the place for you. The high turnover of staff means you rarely see a familiar and friendly face, and to be honest, sometimes they'd prefer to chat to each other than actually serve you. But despite all this, they make one helluva coffee and have a pretty sensational menu too.

On the Victoria St side of Bridge Road, it's a smallish cafe with a lovely but simple fit out. Staff are super friendly, even if you are just in for a takeaway coffee. They use Industry Beans and their brews are pretty good! I've only been once for food and had the beans fish and it was delish with just the right amount of spice and chilli. The husband also enjoying his pancakes that came with figs, maple and walnuts - yum! Prices are on the pricier side of cafe fare, but if it's good quality, I think it's justifiable. The salads and sandwiches and sweets in the cabinet look very tempting also. I'll be back to try more!

Nice looking place, though the location is slightly unexpected…read more Parking is not the easiest, with one side of the street as permit parking only. Service was friendly but a bit aloof - the waiter couldn't remember who ordered what dish, and one of the orders were taken incorrectly. The coffee was good, chai latte average. I got the smashed avocado with harissa which was a very generous amount of the avo, slightly disproportionate to the amount of toast, though it allowed me to share some with my friend who didn't receive her avocado on the side. Flavour profile slightly off, needs a bit of acidity to balance the avo mix. The mushroom dish with the runny eggy hole brioche looked lovely, as did the homemade baked beans. The special of the day Nutella hot cake with cookie dough and ice cream (my teeth ached from reading the menu!) was shared between 5 of us - which ended up being the right amount.
