Platform 1 Cafe

Make sure we drop into platform 1 for breakfast every time we are visiting from rural Vic.great feed.

We are very grateful to have Platform 1 as our local cafe.

The food is genuinely excellent, not once has a meal fallen short of their usual standard, and their menu is replete with options, for vegan/vegetarian diets as well.

They are also iterating on the menu constantly and adding amazing new dishes. My favourite is the 'Middle Eastern Eggs' dish. The crumbed halloumi is to die for.

The staff are also incredibly kind and attentive, and we feel more like their friends than their patrons when brunching there - a testament to the culture and overall amazing vibe of the cafe.

Amazing coffee, lovely staff and vibrant atmosphere:) would highly recommend to anyone in the area

My son and I had an extraordinary experience at this restaurant. The food was nothing short of magical, leaving us thoroughly impressed and delighted. The flavors were well-balanced and creative, providing a culinary experience we’ll cherish. We both loved it, and our satisfaction reflects the excellence of the establishment.loved it.

Great cafe with a menu done right. Interesting choices, fair pricing, good portions, great flavour.
Veggie stack was delicious and light with nice combo of flavours and elements. Crumbed mushrooms were amazing.
Veggie bowl was delicious, big portion and great with haloumi.
Nice chai latte and interesting but strong tumeric latte.
Would definitely come back.

In area and wanted Cafe to try and this came up and yes it was good. Husband had their version of a big breakfast which looked great, while I had the mushroom melt, which was delicious. Also got a piece of carrot cake, now I don't usually get cake but it looked so good I couldn't resist! Also had coffees (flat whites and soy lattes). So nice little spot just a shame North Road such a tired, past it's prime, location.

Once of the best breakfasts, was visiting from Adelaide and was not disappointed. Polite staff, amazing food…. Could not have asked for more!

Great coffee shop with friendly staff.
The brekkie Bowl with Maroccan chicken and the veggie stack were super tasty with a good visual appear.
Beautiful indoor design. Few seats outdoor and around 25 seats indoor.
Worth a try!

If you’re looking for a casual brunch place, then this local gem is for you. Friendly staff, cozy vibes and good food. Vegan and vegetarian friendly too!

I have multiple allergies (dairy, egg and soy) as well as being vegetarian and the staff helped me find a suitable option. The food was delicious.

Been here a few times now and it’s always been great. The menu is so diverse and the food is tasty. They kindly reserved a table in advance for us so we had somewhere to sit with the pooch. (They only have 3 tables outside if you do have a dog, so good to ring in advance). Service is always casual, yet efficient and professional. The challah French toast was to die for! Def recommend.

Wow first of all… This is a hidden gem! Probably one of the best cafes I’ve been to here in Melbourne! I brought my client for lunch as we were visiting a few stores in the area. Customer service is outstanding such friendly staff. I had an iced chai and it was amazing! Our food was just as good, the presentation was and friendly with their portioning. I had the corn and pumpkin fritters with Moroccan chicken and my client had the breakie burger but in a wrap which she enjoyed. Such a warm and inviting place. Toilets onsite as well which was clean.
My client was happy she said we need to come back soon.

Coffee always very good, tried their breakfast and it was delish! Lots of vegan options and a generous serve. Clean and relaxed surroundings.

What an amazing experience visiting Platform 1 cafe was! The staff were so friendly, food was delish and coffee was perfect.
I LOVEDDDDD that there was a build your own breakfast option, as someone who doesn't like egg, brekky out can be a bit boring so this was exciting!
My friend & hubby got the French toast and loved it. I had a sneaky taste and can confirm it was tasty.
It's unlikely I'll visit Ormond again, but if I ever do, you will know where to find me

Two of us came to Platform 1 Cafe on a Tuesday morning for brunch. We ordered chai latte and iced chocolate for drinks, and then the Benny Bagel and the Soulful Breakfast for food. The customer service was very good, and the waiters were attentive to our table. The food were generous portions and very delicious. Thank you to Platform 1!

Excellent coffee, and scrumptious chocolate & raspberry muffin! So much so that I had the leave a review - crunchy top with tangy raspberry, gooey chocolate and moist inside…it’s heavenly. A perfect muffin is a must have for a perfect cafe! (They also do stunning brunches too - just look at the review below.) Overall a great, friendly local business.

One of the hidden gems in Ormond, love the coffee hear. Was at the cafe for brunch, ordered the Moroccan Chicken Burger, its wholesome, delicious and mildly spiced. Was a hot day, had the pineapple mint cold pressed juice, was really refreshing.a must try cafe if in the suburb.

Beautiful banana bread and delicious powdered chai latte. Excellent and fast customer service. Highly recommended!

Went in for the first time last week and ordered the Veggie stack. Best cafe style breakfast I’ve had. Super friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

This place has raced to the top of my favourite local cafes.

You could easily miss it walking past but worth visiting.

I ordered a Crispy halloumi salad, and in that big box this is the amount I received. Really disappointed with the portion for $19.50 iv paid. Not happy at all! I was trying to upload the picture I took but unfortunately it won’t let me. It was like 1/4 of the box!
