Had the most amazing vegan blueberry and peanut butter muffin today. The display at front has some delicious looking snacks to munch on. And the oat latte was great too.

I am so glad I have found this gem of a cafe. Lovely arty yet intimate casual ambience, friendly service, selection of cafe made muffins and slices, wonderful deep rich coffee with roasted caramel tones and a menu offering eclectic, tasteful choices of Indian and western dishes, which was a nice change from the usual offerings. I had the best vegetable burger I have had so far which came with a rich home made coriander sauce on the side, with coffee and a chocolate fig slice. Highly recommend.

Coffee was nice, and a great location across the road to the beach. Service was friendly and nice to pop-by for a coffee and cake when taking a stroll.

Croissant was okay, but would probably go for a different cake/pastry next time.

Thank you so much for bringing amazing memories back through the flavours and spices of this dish. This food literally brought me to tears. Which is mildly embarrassing but true. The poached pear ricotta hot cakes were the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. I asked to hug the chef. I'm seriously considering having this dish on my wedding menu it was incredible. Do yourself a favour and go to Chain of Fools. The staff are lovely and the food is amazing.

Amazingly friendly staff and wonderful food. The turmeric latte is amazing and the curry of the day was so good. Lamb masala.

This cafe is very special to my wife and I. The staff treat you like family. Their menu offers amazing Indian/Australian fusion cafe food. You wont be able to find a better cup of coffee, bottomless chai, or turmeric latte. If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere and community feel, this is it.

I had the Dahl soup which is accompanied by a poppadom and naan bread. It was spicy, tasty and filling. The coffee was nicely presented with good art, but a little bitter for my wife but fine by me as I add sugar anyway.

This place is one of my favs and I'm very particular with what I want in the way of food and service. Very very lovely staff, amazing delicious food that's beautifully presented. Very good coffee and freshly made juices and much more. Everything is delicious. Highly recommend.

Great Lamb curry even though we arrived after lunch time nothing is too hard for the accommodating staff. Great place for meal or coffee.

I've only ever popped in for a coffee on my walk. I really should eat here one day as the menu looks good. Great coffee and staff

Coffee is always on point, and the burger is worth coming back for.

There is a few tables out front if you have your dog, so is perfect after a beach walk.

The muffins are pretty dam good to if you.need a smaller snack.

Service is friendly and sufficiently prompt for a beach side cafe.

I really like Chain of Fools and find the good food very genuine and artfully presented. I love the bottomless chai.

Small popular local cafe. Coffee was ok and our breakfast was tasty. A bit noisy with the traffic and the other patrons in such a small place. Not much of a view.

We’ve recently moved to the area and this little gem of a cafe has quickly become our local fave. The coffee is fantastic, the food is delicious and the service is exceptional. I highly recommend the ricotta hot cakes

Great staff, lovely ambience. And so far the best Indian inspired melbourne brunch place I've been too! Yet to try most of the menu but the masala beef burger was delicious!

We love going to Chain of Fools. They have the best coffee and the staff are some of the warmest, friendliest and kindest people. A real community feel, great place to keep snug in the cold or enjoy the blissful views on the sunny days. Also the Bananan Folly is delicious! Thank you kindly Ravi and the crew.
