The place, nice, cozy, neat, great location for singles, couple, small or large groups. The food, perfectly seasoned, the texture, presentation, the flavours, mwah!!! Had the pizza Margherita, crispy Squid, and pork ribs, all deliciously made. Did not expect generous servings. Grab a Melba signature mocktail. The service was beautiful, awesome team! Love the place! Love the food! Love the team!

Had dinner here and it was very nice to sit in a clean restaurant with exceptional service. Had both of the sliders on the menu as a start, was sooo good! Chicken waffles along with loaded fries was yum, cheese cake for dessert is also a must, will definitely be back again.

One of our favorite cafes, the food is delicious, beautifully presented, the eggs benedict are the best. Beautiful sweet treats. The coffees are delicious. A must stop always.

Overall a great experience. Well worth the price.
We got the fried chicken waffle and chicken snitzel sandwich. The sandwich was open (not mentioned in the menu). We asked for no aioli in the sandwich which they did very easily. The waffle itself was savoury (cheese scone kind of taste). The chicken was still juicy til the last bite for both meals. The food came out very quickly, about 15 minutes with the place being nearly full. Drinks arrived just before the food. The mango passionfruit daiquiri was lightly sweet. The taste of the alcohol was covered by the other ingredients so it went down very smoothly. The raspberry margarita tasted very strongly of alcohol though. I ended up needing to water it down a bit. Tables were all being cleaned down within a few minutes of the customers leaving.

Just OK…. The staff were all very friendly and we were seated quickly, the entrees were alright - Baos were more bun than filling but not bad. Pizza garlic bread was good. Halloumi tacos unfortunately were quite bland and lacked flavour - needed more of a fresh pop of something and at $29 for 2 tacos nothing else… def needs to be upgraded. Cheesecake again was okay - nothing was amazing.
