   This used to be one of my favourites but since the change in ownership everything has dropped (apart from the prices) Restaurant was almost empty but there were still half a dozen dirty tables (which stayed like that for our whole visit) Two junior staff trying hard and one senior member who clearly had no interest in being there. Service was dreadful. Food was excruciatingly slow and not at all worth the wait. The low light was seeing the senior waiter push a whole bunch of dirty water glasses (that had been left on a table for nearly an hour) to a family who had just arrived. Such a shame. Don’t waste your time or money.

   The food here was great! Definitely what Carries this place. The service was ok and a bit slow (but the people seemed new so I can look past that). The place needs a bit of a revamp - their bench seating is old material that smells a bit and really needs to be replaced. Overall the place needs a good deep clean and tables were never wiped after clearing! In terms of value for money, the prices were up there with the best cafes in Melbourne, but the overall experience doesn’t justify it. The chai was the most expensive I’ve ever had and was average. The sound panels on the roof were great and the noise levels were Perfect for being able to chat to people you were out with, without noticing other people around.

   Lovely brisket with eggs hollandaise. The GF bread was too thick though but is my favorite choice brand. My friend ordered eggs on toast which came out with I buttered bread and no butter. When asked, the butter was brought and not even enough for a thin scraping for one of the 2 pieces of toast… very sad. Down sides: The ambience lacked warmth. No soft music at all, lighting? The bench seat was way too low for me and I’m only 5ft 1!!! Quite uncomfortable.

   Food was decent however service was bad and coffee wasn't even hot. Lazy, unfriendly staff too. Our waiter was so hungover. Didn't bring our table water or menus. We weren't aware of the weekend surcharge? $150 for four meals and coffees is ridiculous! There are better options out there

   Food took nearly an hour to come and one meal was cold. Our tables meals arrived over a 10 minute span - luckily we told our friends to eat when theirs arrived. Considering the place was half empty and as it was wet so none of the outside tables were being used, I would hate to think what service would be like when it’s busy.

   My meal was fine - but I was charged well beyond the price listed on the menu. Perhaps there was a weekend surcharge? No mention of this. Young friendly staff, but too few - waited ages to order at the table, had to go to the counter in the end. Lots of other cafes nearby with more transparent pricing and better service, so no need to return here.

   Way too overpriced for what is is. Spent a total of $40 for one meal and one drink. $7.50 for a large coffee, plus 10% weekend surcharge. Sadly will not come back unless you sort the pricing out. Understand you need to cover costs, but this is excessive.

    Unbelievably overpriced kids meals. 10.50 for a tiny pancake with one scoop of ice cream. Worth no more than $3. Had to talk to 4 wait staff to get my hot chocolate. I had one wait staff offer me 5 different meals. He just aimlessly walked around with food, happy to offload to anyone. The food was ok but it felt like extortion. And they charge a weekend surcharge. Isn't that when you receive most business. Yikes.

    Was so expensive for what it was. Eggs served on dry toast with three small slivers of bacon. No real love in the preparation and about what I would expect to make at home for myself. Seven dollars for a latte was also ridiculous.

    I rarely (if ever) have the inclination to leave a review so you can appreciate my dismay that leads to me being bothered this time.... Used to attend this Cafe very regularly. Not sure if new owners have taken over in the last few years but: - the food was sloppy at best - the coffee tasted like tepid dish water - service was really poor (no one seemed to know what was going on and it was very slow and piece-meal). On a positive note the staff was NOT rude however. - The portions of a couple of the dishes were very small but really quite expensive which is even more remarkable when they make you feel coerced into using the online "Mr Yum" platform to order which adds additionally to the cost!!!!

    The way the pancake tasted felt like something that came out of packet. Didn't taste fresh. Even home made pancakes can taste better. Scrambled egg was cold and not fulfilling and even though I understand prices has gone up I felt it was cheap and definitely not value for money. The take away toasted ham,cheese and tomato was way better then the food and better value. One thing I can say is that glover station always had coffee even though I didn't get that day as I use to frequently buy coffee when my child went to child care near

    Terrible service, meals didn’t arrive, coffees didn’t arrive. Was told the printer was broken but no one bothered to come and check our order until I got up and asked them. There was no manager overseeing young staff who didn’t really care that much. Not there fault.

    The food was great, but as we were in mid morning and tables were empty, it was a bit noisy as the sounds were bouncing off the hard surfaces.

    Food was pretty good and the venue is beautiful and unique, however the service was relatively slow and the online ordering menu prices were all out of whack with what was displayed on the physical menu and also showed different prices when you went to checkout (not just equivalent to the surcharge). So fine to have online ordering but this should not equal less attentive staff, it was hard to flag anyone down for questions/ cutlery!

    I have been to this cafe a number of times, both in pre-Covid times and amidst. When I went for brekky on the weekend, I was extremely surprised at the price, it cost me $35 for a coffee and avocado smash! I realise that there is a 15% surcharge on weekends but this borders on preposterous. I have always been someone who definitely goes out of my way to support my local businesses, especially amidst the lockdowns but I think this is a business that is definitely not struggling and I suggest they need to re-think how they're valuing their local customers. I will not go back to this cafe.

    Not sure why we were able to make a booking when the restaurant is closed. I’m just glad it was a booking with my mum and not someone else, which would have been extremely embarrassing. Probably won’t return after this experience.

    Food is amazing as always, really don’t like the outside table phone ordering. No service apart from staff bringing your food and our food came way before our coffees. When asked how long our double espresso will be was just told ‘we’re busym’ Such a pity for the price and no actual service I probably won’t go back
