Corner and Bench

Great breakfast, got the B&E Sanga and it was simple and delicious. The staff were really friendly and the food was affordable and good value for the price.

What a great find in Melbourne. Lovely friendly staff. Tasty yummy food. I will be back to try some more of your goodies:)

The food was amazing coffee was great and the staff has so much positive energy you just want to bottle it. The kids loved the pancakes and hot chocolates

Great little spot for a coffee or something delicious! There's great salads on offer and do try the chicken sliders! Service is always delivered with a smile which is wonderful!

Most dishes are pretty typical. I ordered avo smash with poached eggs and enjoyed my brekkie. Poached eggs were cooked just perfectly. Tasty coffee (of course). Fast service on a Saturday morning.

Came in for breakfast during a busy period. Staff was overwhelmed with all the people coming in. Waiting time for coffee was longer than it was for food.

Regarding the orders:

I ordered an iced Long black, got a cup of steaming hot coffee. After I told the waiter that I ordered and ICED Long black, I was given a cup with ice cubes (maybe to make my own iced coffee?)
Latte was nice.
Pain du chocolate (3.5) wasn’t fresh and a little overpriced compared to the 4 times bigger almond croissant (5).
Big brekkie was average, ok to share or to eat by yourself.

The food was great and prices reasonable but I was captivated by the staff. We were waiting outside for our friends who where having discussion. After a few minutes barista came to us and asked if they were ok. We told him that it's only a quarrel. Few moments later he came outside again and offered us some free sweets.

The nicest staff I ever met, would definitely come again.

Absolutely delicious breakfast and coffee! Meals are decently priced as well. I would definitely come back to this cafe when next in Melbourne:)

We are travelling and happened to chance upon this place on the LAST DAY and that’s the only regret we have. Ugh. Such a lovely place and such amazing food. Y’all should 100% check it out. 10/10 recommend only because I’m leaving and I don’t mind this place becoming mainstream lol.

Service is 10/10 every time at this venue. After the years we’ve had in hospitality it’s so nice to be around industry professionals that show Melbourne why we do what we do.love the good vibes
*and the GF mushroom toastie is to die

Waited for 45 minutes for a coffee and bacon and egg while on a table which pretty much had 3 legs and got told we “mustn’t” move tables to a more suitable one.
Once the food came the food was as cold as the Melbourne air.

Delicious coffee & bacon toastie. Great indoor or out. Quick & efficient. Particularly Johnny.great service thanks.

My children and I were in the city and had breakfast here. The staff were really welcoming and so lovely to my children. The delicious food was a bonus. We all loved our breakfast and they have some fantastic pastries to choose from. Coffee was spot on as well. We will definitely be back.

These meals are so delicious. Tastes homemade but better than anything I could ever make. The lasagna and chicken pie are delicious and desserts are to die for. We will be ordering regularly now! Thank you x

Ordered some meals online and everything was absolutely delicious, loved the beef lasagne, chicken pie. The kids loved it too.

Great service. W definitely be ordering more meals and for family and friends

Amazing Thanks Corner & Bench for being always my favourite, beautiful people with beautiful quality
You should give it a try? ️

I had the 3x salad combo bowl, all 3 vegetarian salads. At the bottom of my bowl, after I'd finished eating the majority of them, I found a chunk of chicken. Having not eaten meat for a while, I felt instantly sick. There's a risk I could have eaten a smaller piece of chicken earlier without realising. For a vegetarian this is really upsetting.
When my plate was cleared, I pointed it out to the waiter the piece of chicken that I had found in my vegetarian salad, and asked him to notify the chef/management. He replied 'OK'. No one came over later to apologise or clarify.
I had also seen a tray of chicken above the caesar salad slipping into the adjacent vegetarian salads. Such a shame as the food here looks delicious, but I would not recommend if you are vegetarian as they clearly don't care about cross contamination.

Little coffee before work (half sipped, couldn’t resist. It looked beautiful before)! Lovely staff and there’s outdoor seating too

The best bacon & egg sanga in all of vic, add 2 hashies to complete the dream of best smoko ever.
Yew yew

Beautiful freshly made food, a sizeable selection of ready made healthy tasty salads, sandwich’s, wraps + menu items
I’ve never had a bad meal here and come everyday with my workmates as I’m currently working close by.
Long standing of 20 years it’s proven the test of time, one of the increasingly hard to find cafes in Melbourne that isn’t trying to be ‘cool’ and instead just brings good honest food with no pretentiousness, highly recommend.
