We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed, but the weather was nice enough to sit outside Steak And Egg (AUD 31) Spicy Salmon Udon Alfredo (AUD 28) Pour Over (AUD 10) Ice Batch Brew (AUD 6) The steak was a little overcooked, but the udon was delicious and really hit the spot I chose the fruity beans for my pour-over, which was a lovely choice

The most popular Egg Benny was already sold out by the time we arrived Smashed Avo A good one for avocado lovers. The seasoning was on point, and the crispy fried kale was really tasty. It comes on a bagel base, so if you’re not a fan of sourdough, this is a great alternative. Spicy Salmon Udon Alfredo Surprisingly delicious! It has a creamy base but isn’t overly heavy. The salmon quality was quite good too — definitely worth a try. Big Breakfast A classic English breakfast from any brunch menu: eggs, toast, bacon, hash brown, tomato, sausage, and mushrooms. Flavours are straightforward and hard to go wrong. Perfect for sharing with friends. French Toast Forever Great for sharing as a dessert if you’re in a group. The toast was soft and fluffy, served with ice cream and seasonal fruits A nice mix of textures, and the fruits were fresh and sweet. It was nice revisiting this old favourite with an old friend — the food is still consistently good after all these years. But the service this time was a bit disappointing. They offer 5% off for cash payments, and we happened to have cash, but because they didn’t have enough change, they actually asked us to pay by card instead

We checked out this amazing cafe that is a fusion of asian inspired and cafe breakfast. The flavours of the meals are delightful and textures are on point. We had the crab meat scrambled eggs and duck congee, so yummy... We then followed with their special Halloween themed "Spooky Toast", with black sesame anglaise, soft mochi inbetween the slices and ube ice cream. Words don't do justice here. The presentation of all the meals was impressive and instagram worthy. We loved this place so much we came back to try the other dishes. They have also an amazing range of drinks like matchas and pour-over single origins. The staff are so friendly and have a great vibe that makes you feel welcome, thry even remembered us from a few days ago. Definitely coming back here and would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing breakfast experience!!!

Such a great spot for your breakfast in Carlton! Their crab scramble never disappoints and always hits the spot. The crab isn’t the most generous amount but it still provides the perfect balance with the egg and the buttery croissant. Even the kids portions are of a decent size, and we loved how their menu incorporates Asian food with traditional western breakfast cafe culture. Their matcha latte was pretty good too! Their staff was amazing and accommodated our 16 month old by opening the booth (even though the staff seemed like they were using that back area for their breakfast!)

A friend recommended this cafe. No long waiting queue, friendly & helpful staff. The surprise here is this cafe's creative menu; very difficult to choose just one! Our choices (duck congee & salmon okonomiyaki benedict) were mind-blowingly out of this world. Top this off with a real leaf chai latte and we were in heaven! This was the best benedict I have ever tasted; I can't wait to go back to try their pork belly eggs benny next time!!!

Been here many times and it’s honestly one of my favourite brunch in Melbourne. Today I accidentally broke a glass after finishing my meal and felt really bad about it… I offered to pay, but the staff were super kind and said it was all good. Really appreciate that. Will definitely keep coming back and supporting this place!

⭐French toast was definitely the most delicious out of all 3 dishes, it was moist, buttery and not too sweet The pork however was a bit tough and the fried stuff under it was soggy overall it was ok wanted to try other dishes but unfortunately it was sold out. On the side note: Staff were all lovely and very friendly, food came quickly and well prepared we also came around 12:30pm, shockingly it was fairly quiet for lunch.

Stopped by Humble Rays and had such a great experience! I ordered the Happy Monkey, chips, and a lychee fizz — everything was delicious and well presented. The Happy Monkey was especially a standout, and the lychee fizz was so refreshing. The service was warm and attentive throughout, and I really appreciated the good variety on the menu with plenty of options to choose from. The venue itself has a lovely airy feel, making it a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommend!
