Serotonin Eatery

Fantastic Brunch experience! Note upon entry explaining you were short staffed, as is the case everywhere at the moment. No problem, we understand. Wow, if that's how you operate under Saturday pressure while short staffed, I can't imagine better service. Staff super friendly, meals fast to come out and they were super yummy! We had a week on holiday visiting our son, eating out all over Melbourne, clearly the best was saved for last. You guys will be our first visit next trip. Thank you

Great plant based cafe, the interior is inviting and relaxing, love the booth! The staff were really friendly and helpful! The pancakes were the best I ever have, and their smoothie menu is huge and delicious. A real gem in the Melbourne cafe scene.

Truly my happy place. I absolutely love Serotonin, the food, the staff, the beautiful interiors/courtyard - it's the most magical, special place in all of Melbourne and hard to describe without experiencing it for yourself. Everyone there is so friendly; they genuinely care about providing an amazing experience, and creating really nourishing, yummy food that makes you feel good. I always leave feeling better than I arrived, feeling brighter and lighter and with the biggest smile - it's like nothing else in all of Melbourne. My staples are the incredible pancakes (without question the BEST pancakes I've ever had) and the nutrition bomb which are always easy choices but I love to try their constantly evolving and innovative new dishes. There's so much yummy food it's hard to choose - so I love that I can always order a takeaway too, so I can take a slice of serotonin happiness home with me. Serotonin foodie for life xx

I’m a chef at a local cafe & I really applaud these guys. The produce they use is incredible. The dishes are priced reasonably for what they’re delivering and the flavours all work so well together. Definitely worth a meal with friends:)

Oh my goodness, this place was an absolute treat! A delicious vegan menu that caters for gluten-free - you don't need to be vegan to enjoy the range of choices. The service was on point, the help from the extremely friendly staff was more than welcome to choose from all the choices they offered, and they seems genuinely happy to be here and help, best service I received for a while now at a cafe!
Looking forward to my next visit, is tomorrow too soon?

*** Free 4 hours carpark in front, that a huge bonus in our days in Melbourne

I ordered the fungi french toast and ginger bread late. The 'toast' was soft, disintegrated when I cut it and didn't have much flavour to it. The mushrooms were gorgeous. The ginger bread late felt like drinking air. I was expecting something larger, heavier, more homely (Christmas-like) perhaps for the cost. The cherry on top of the cake was my impulsive purchase at the register for a brownie and a small tart setting me back another $27. Two independent people later commented that this could buy me a whole cake! Very disappointed with the cost and quality of the food.

As a ravenous carnivore I took my vegetarian wife here for a quiet birthday lunch and I couldn't have been happier. Staff were attentive and friendly without being over bearing and the food was next level with very generous serves. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu!

One of my all time favourite cafes in Melbourne! I’ve been coming here since they opened years ago, and still keep coming back when heading to Melbourne. The positive pancakes are my go-to every time! 100% best vegan pancakes everrrr!

I’ve loved this place for years. Thank goodness it’s survived the pandemic. Lovely lunch today, attentive staff, delicious beautifully presented plant based food in a clean airy setting. Very generous servings with a wide choice on the menu. Can’t wait to come back again?

The food is tasty and the concept is great. The communication and service however is awful.

Sat for 10 min without being served water and menu. Finally got the attention of a staff member which served 2 tables around me (arrived way after me) but failed to recognise if I need service.
The bad service is not the result of staff shortage which is just normal now but rather unprofessional staff. There were many staff on the floor.

The coffee arrived 10 min after food. Staffs are not aware of their surrounding and avoid eye contact or checking the room to see if someone needs something.
Asked for a side of falafel and served a veggie Pattie (picture). Asked them to take it away because this is not a Falafel and they tried to convince me that " this the falafel we have".
And to top it all, for a cafe this health conscious drinks are served in a plastic mug!

In general, it was anything but a serotonin rich experience for a $ 38 Breakfast!

Ate there just now and I won’t go back. Severely overpriced for two pieces of toast and avocado.

For the record, I did not order a side dish, it was on the main menu.

Don’t waste your money.

We had brunch at Serotonin on the weekend and the food was absolutely delicious! Super wholesome, creative flavours and generous serves. They also have an incredible drinks menu - i tried the gingerbread latte and it was so yummy! Very lovely staff too:) Definitely worth a visit, you'll leave with a happy tummy. Plant-based or not, you'll love the food.

Brunch diaries @serotonindealer where their 100% plant based menu is all about nourishment, mindfulness, health and wellness besides great taste, quality and variety.

We loved each and every item we had here today, from the drinks to the mains to the desserts.

We started off with a macadamia and matcha latte, and an Immune Elixir mocktail. Both were equally refreshing to drink, except the elixir drink that was quite spicy for our taste.

Next we had, Nutrition Bomb and Positive Pancakes. The Nutrition bomb was absolutely fresh, super healthy and flavourful. It is strongly recommended. And so are the positive pancakes, which is a very filling, delicious and addictive dish made of banana and berries. Both the dishes quantities are more than generous.

Also we had, a conscious cookie and a sweet potato and peanut butter brownie. Both were equally interesting, very tasty to eat. I can definitely have these desserts everyday as these didn’t make me feel guilty at all. Loved how all the ingredients and the sweetness is so perfectly balanced in these desserts.

The ambiance is so peaceful and the service is super prompt by a team of cheerful, kind and helpful team of staff.

So guys why not make a reservation for tomorrow @serotonindealer for a much needed and a yummy dose of serotonin with friends and family.

I had the most amazing brunch experience here! The staff were so welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious with so much variety! The cafe was beautiful inside as well! Can’t help but leave this place feeling 10x happier

Brunch with a big smile at @serotonindealer

This hustling bustling cafe has such beautiful vibes and nourishing brunch. Be sure to try their pancake stack and galaxy acai bowl. Absolutely mind blowing dish to kick start your day ️

This place never disappoints - drinks, food, and the service! Great lunch there today and special thanks to Isi

Food and service was very average.
Would actually say I have gotten much better smoothies and avo on toast other places.

Food is extremely overpriced and rubbish. In the process of making healthy food Serotonin forgot about taste. We ordered a pizza and dough was chewy and Paneer on it was not even seasoned. Was a very bad taste and pan cakes we paid $25 for was really really bad and the berries used were not even fresh rather were unfrozen (wonder how is that healthy). It’s a rip off and didn’t know vegetarian food under the pretext of healthy can taste this bad. Don’t recommend food here at all.

The food was nice, wish the cauliflower flower was more crispy/crunchy. And could have done without the intense, overbearing waitress that was at a 47 out of 10 energy. She literally was being impatient about what cutlery we needed to use and sassed my partner. How unfortunate. This is a direct quote from her “ but I’m glad, we got there in the end. ” ~Naive gold Septum Ringed waitress.

I will be the first to say this was my favorite unmatched breakfast spot in Melbourne but after the experience I had yesterday I will never go back again. I booked for 12pm Lunch with a close friend and after ordering lunch & drinks via the Mr Yum app suggested, 1 smoothie came out at 12: 40pm. In the time we were sitting down and waiting for our food 3 different tables who came in long after us were served. Thinking this was a bit odd I asked the waitress where our food was because we had been waiting for 1.5 hrs & had only received 1 smoothie. Her response was “Your next it’s on its way”. At 2pm we still had NO FOOD so I asked a different waiter where our food was and he left & came back 5 minutes later to say our order never came through. I replied your app took our money & 1 smoothie came out which was on our order, which means you did receive our orders. The waiter just stared at me. It’s disappointing that a number of wait staff passed our table noticing we didn’t have any food while tables were coming/going and not one of them bothered to check in with us. I have been to restaurants where food was forgotten but sadly this has been the worst experience yet. Serotonin did refund our money, prepared the food takeaway & added complimentary items which was generous but unfortunately eating packaged food in your car is far from the experience we paid for. Sadly, this has tarnished the great reputation I had for the café. A word of advice if you are going to charge $20 to reserve a table at least have staff that are on the ball. You charge good money for your food so at least have the service to match.
