Love the pancakes for brunch. They're small, thick, and fluffy at the same time. And because of their 2 for 1 deal, it's hard to refuse. Good value and portion.
Good, chill and casual environment with a Sunday vibe. Would recommend this place for a casual breakfast.
8/10
It was clean, friendly and helpful staff. Food that reminded me of my mother's cooking. Loved the access to fresh water in such a hot day too. Recommend.

Not going to lie... Vic St Cafe was not my first choice for brunch a couple of Saturdays ago but the first pick was packed so we came here instead.
This place is unassuming. It doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. It's quite a large layout on a corner which makes the layout awkward but it is tidy, clean and inviting.
Before you switch off... wait. This is where the 4 stars come in.
The service is fantastic. The wait staff are friendly, chatty if you feel up to making conversation and helpful when it comes to working out what to eat. Big tick.
The menu is pretty extensive so thankfully the wait staff are also patient. Took us a few minutes to stop talking long enough to work out what we were going to have and when the food came out (in a very timely manner), we were not unhappy.
The portions are huge and for the price, this is a good deal. Being the GF Vege chick, I went for the Vege Brekkie. It has smoked homemade baked beans which were fantastic. The smoked flavour really took it to a different level compared to other places that put this on the menu. Mr RaeRae had the pancakes and are devouring those, was a happy wee camper.
I don't know if I am emotionally capable of talking about the coffee. The same morning of this brunch, my PT had challenged me to no caffeine for the rest of September so this was my last one. It wasn't mind blowing but it was decent. Perfect amount of hot water, just the right about of coffee and not a bad brew.
All in all, a decent trip. Thanks Vic St Cafe!
I love this place. Travel a lot, and dine at a lot of cafes and restaurants. The food is great here and the service fantastic and friendly. What more could you ask?
Me and my boyfriend went here today. I liked how the sign as we walked in told us to take a menu and still down. I don't like when staff fawn over you as soon as you step in the door. After an appropriate amount of time and friendly young guy came and took our order. I had a hot black current juice with was lovely and my partner had eggs bene with bacon. We did find it a bit odd that it was a scone and not bread and we both like bread but it was OK. Wanting to go back to try the pancakes. Food came in very good time also.
We popped in here for lunch as it was close and warm. My colleague had the frittata and salad from the cabinet but I had the pork belly and hash off the menu. We didn't have long and I was worried my choice might take too long but it was perfect timing and delicious!
Never disappointed by this place. The brunch here is always nice and the cabinet selection is good too. always happy to see gluten free options! Great staff and service, would recommend :)
A pretty good place for breakfast food.
There was once I came here with friends and ordered the following:
Eggs benedict (was made very nicely), homemade muesli (the lady was very nice about serving soy milk instead of milk unlike some places) and flapjacks (quite fluffy).
Serving time was slow but still alright, lucky we weren't in a hurry.
Great location for on the way to work, lunch and the in betweens. Its quite a shame that they close early as they make excellent coffee, and it's hard to make it in sometimes while people queue and queue for their much needed espresso wake ups
We went yesterday for brunch and were surprised at how packed it was. We started off with a banana and caramel milkshake and flat white with a drop of vanilla. The milkshake wasn't sickly as expected, but mild and fruity. The flat white - velvety smooth ... in fact best coffee I have ever had. Ever. We ordered the egg and bacon buttie with chorizo - the bread was incredibly fresh and definitely what the other half will be ordering again. I had the Moroccan ragu - couscous was light and lemony, meat was succulent - just bliss. I'm a big foodie and coffee lover. I wish I worked closer ... oh and the staff were lovely.
