Review Melbourne Cafe - Thames

Food was flavorful and fresh. Everything was delicious. The vibe is cozy and cute with seating inside and out as well as in the hallway where there's some other cute shops

Great cafe with excellent food and coffee. Welcoming and efficient staff, interesting and well designed interior. A beautiful day so we were able to enjoy the sheltered courtyard. We'll certainly be back!

The brisket burger was one of the nicest things I've eaten all year. The presentation was pretty good trip. It's obvious that they really care about their food, and that is wholly reflected in the amazing taste they manage to achieve. Well done Cafe Melbourne!

Everything was pretty good, but portions were quite small.

Have eaten here many times and adore it. Have never had a bad meal and it just keeps getting better. Great dog friendly spaces, loads of space and a menu that is full of gluten free options. Staff are super friendly and the chefs are talented. Good is really interesting and full of variety. Total 😋

Very delicious food that is just a bit out of the ordinary, but not weird. Eg the pork belly was cooked perfectly and was full of flavour and served with a tasty apple coleslaw. The Green Grocers Garden Salad was definitely not an ordinary salad but instead served with a number of different pickles with some curried lentils, as well as other fresh vegetables. We really liked both these dishes ( plus good coffees). Staff were friendly and positive. There is a choice of dog- friendly pretty courtyard and inside tables. Very enjoyable lunch.

An exceptional spot. Food was absolutely amazing and the service was awesome. It was very busy when we came in but there was plenty of space still both indoor and outside. Fantastic coffee. Kids enjoyed the raspberry friand and chips, I had the chicken thigh - picture half way through my meal. One of the tastiest meals I've had in ages. Highly recommend

Fabulous cafe with delicious food. Book a space or fight for a seat especially if it’s raining or a Friday. Green Goddess salad in winter is super filling with robust flavours. The gnocchi was also really great.

Visiting Thames, we found this delightful venue by chance! And we are delighted to find the gem!! There are various different eating areas, some lending themselves to openness, some to intimacy. We had a small dog, who was made welcome (always an inducement for fur-baby fans!) Staff are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We had arrived after the kitchen had closed, but a creative hostess ensured we enjoyed a delicious lunch from the display cabinets with a huge basket of 'French fries' each. The coffee was the best I have had for years, and my companion declared her hot chocolate was also the best she has enjoyed. The venue is interesting, it is nestled in amongst other shops, including a splendid plant shop. Yes, I'll be back!

Friendly staff, food was excellent. Had the chefs special crispy prawn tacos, so good. Iced chocolate was so good also. Would definitely recommend if you're in Thames.

I'm always really fussy when eating in cafe because I want fresh and tasty food, with an emphasis on health! We were all super impressed by the menu and the food tasted amazing. They had options for all ages and all tastes - which was excellent. Additionally gluten free was accommodated for easily. The staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend - especially for those who eat a Paleo or LCHF diet �

Always yummy food, sometimes staff a bit surly. I must have struck a bad one or someone front of house having a bad day as the chef is always brilliant, yum! Totally recommend just be kinder to customers...

Worth the drive down from Auckland. Ingredients are fresh and skillfully put together. We had the fish curry, lamb ribs and chunky fries. The fish was cooked perfectly in coconut, lime and Thai tones. Everything in the lamb ribs dish was amazing - textures, flavours, quality 100%! Coffee and lemon cheesecake completed the gastronomical experience. Cafe Melbourne was the highlight of visiting Thames

Delicious food, good service, I had the taster platter, a great Mother’s Day treat.

Great cafe, my local! Awesome staff, great food and the coffee is really good. Definitely recommend. Best cafe in Thames!

Stopped for lunch at this very popular Cafe in Thames. Double shot coffee a great pick me up followed by curry fish in Thai coconut cream and hearty seafood chowder both delish. Adjoing The Depot arcade with various shops deli, home wears and art gallery where you can stroll after your meal.

We've been travelling Nz for 8 days now and this is our favourite food experience so far. We shared the combo plate for lunch and I'm so sad we can't come back tomorrow. Staff were wonderful. A high point of our trip. Obviously food means a lot to us and this is fantastic.

Yes be of the best cafes we have been to in Thames. Food is levels above standard cafe fare. Beautifully designed cafe. Very modern. And the corridor of speciality shops at the back was a little and expensive surprise. lol. Ate too much. Shopped too much. And we will be back. Soon!

Fabulous food service and so well done. Love the setting , great place to eat and just veg out. Fabulous for kids also

Great service. Staff was super friendly�. Nice space and pets friendly as well. Unfortunately the taste of food has a bit room for improvement.

Great atmosphere, vibrant friendly staff (including kitchen!) and fresh, beautiful food.. We had lunch here today after a long pause between visits. Impressive last time, even better today. Thank you! ��

Visited today for the first time. Can't rave enough, food, staff, and presentation of cafe give off perfect ambience. Will definitely be spreading the word and definitely will be returning. Well done �

Always quality food, and super accommodating for vegetarians - Just ask! Lovely staff and owners who are really into supporting their community.

Still a great cafe a year since I last visited. Great food and coffee with good ambience. Love the little touches, such as the cherries at the counter (they must give away a fortune in cherries every day!). Take your friends and they'll thank you
