I'm a little surprised to see people queuing at Axil when this paradise awaits upstairs next door, don't get me wrong I love Axil, but this place is pretty stunning. But please don't tell them, it's rare to be able to get a seat outside on a gorgeous sunny deck under an umbrella surrounded by trees and a veggie garden in Melbourne without a queue. The food has never disappointed. From the porridge and oats to the cooked breakfasts, I always enjoy my meal. Good specials on offer too, on the weekend I had corn and ricotta fritters with heirloom tomato salad and avocado cream, it was the goods and I'd love to see it on the menu. Their coffee offering is pretty solid, from the standard milky affair to the fancy filter stuff I don't understand but order to impress our interstate guests with my Melbourneness. Their green smoothies are tasty too. The staff are great with a sense of humour that I really enjoy, the owners in particular are cool (banter with them is a highlight for me), they're friendly and it's a family affair and they welcome families alike. But don't worry this place isn't overrun with yummy mummies, it's not really overrun with any 'type' it's just full of people who enjoy good food in breezy, relaxing surrounding. They also do yoga on the deck on Saturday mornings.

I've passed this place a number of times in the evening when I was on the tram heading up to a…read morefriend's house and I had been meaning to check it out for a while. Being a cafe that generally means that it opens early, and closes early, which meant that I had to get up early so I could come here for breakfast before work. Well, the menu isn't all that huge, but has a reasonable selection - I had the omlette and I must admit that it was pretty nice. The coffee was also pretty decent - actually the coffee was really good. The cafe itself is in an old back, which means that they have a room in one of the old vaults, which is also pretty cool. Oh, the staff were all right as well.

While my friend got the best ricotta hotcakes I've tried in a long time. I'm so happy she was in the sharing mood!! Some meals came with a half or full serve option which was nice and now I know for next time half will probably be more then enough. The furniture is very sleek and clean feeling... Ikeaish!? But comfortable enough, if only the tables were slightly bigger to accommodate their great portions! Service was quick and friendly. And the treats they have at the counter are close to irresistible!! I'll probably be back every time I'm in the area just to get some more ricotta hotcakes in my belly!

The soup of the day could have been a boring choice but it was cold outside so I went for it and did not regret it. It was a BIG bowl of tomato and capsicum soup and the bread it was served with was irresistible (trust me, I tried to resist the extra carbs and couldn't). I also shared some bruschetta which was more like a mini pizza. It was pretty good except covered in parsley and I much prefer basil on my bruschetta. My colleague really enjoyed her lamb pizza. Service was quick and not overbearing like other reviews note. I'd definitely head back for a quick and tasty lunch if I was in the area again.

The owners are vibrant and bubbly and are proud supporters of the gay community, which is great and it makes for a fun vibe and atmosphere.

A really, really great bar - great food, wine, ambience and owners! Oh and the decor and art - spectacular!!

There were two wait staff and I'm not sure what they were doing but out on floor they weren't. We had to signal them to come and take a drinks order and then to take our meal order.

The best part is the people watching bench seats under the roof line, inside to much marble and rigid table layout. The coffee is good but I doubt I'd eat here as it has no atmosphere.
