Square & Compass

Luke the waitress clearly is looking for another type of job because the way he talks with the clients should be way more friendlier. But his mad face and his tone shows zero patient.
The food was good and the coffee very creamy. Also another girl who came to do the order was waaaay better understanding with my friend who has little English. 5 stars to her.

The atmosphere here reminds me of some cafes I visited in Havana and Jamaica - might be the black ceiling fans, but it’s super cosy in here. Great coffee and snacks, haven’t tried the food yet though

Iced latte was good, but $17.88 for a coffee and a sparkling water on a saturday is too expensive.

Absolutely LOVE this place! They have a very tasty menu of selections for breakfast including their Chili Omelette, scrambled eggs, selection of toasts and the one & only, Toast with peanut butter with cherry tomatoes and sea salt! The coffee is awesome, great atmosphere and the service is excellent. I always try to get to this place whenever I'm in Melbourne.

I visited on a busy weekday with no reservation, was seated immediately, promptly served a fine coffee and a flawless all-day breakfast (the belly bacon is unusual and terrific). Perfect, no notes.

This is one of my all time favourite cafes in Melbourne! They were wonderful at catering for our large booking of 14 people, a newborn baby and 2 toddlers! The food was all delicious too with wonderful waitstaff! Thank you, we’ll definitely be back as will our friends!

The staff was helpful and friendly. My iced matcha was good and can be better if it was stronger. The venue inside was too noisy for me to stay for a bite, but when the weather is better for sitting outside, I’ll be sure to give their food a go.

Maybe I came in on a rare bad morning, but the experience was below average. Asking for a baguette recommendation was returned with a reaction just shy of an eye roll. And then amounted to the toughest roll I've ever had, and despite being $13 partially frozen!?

The Iced Latte was just fine.

The cafe itself is well styled and has a great vibe despite!

Great soy flat white coffee and sourdough toast with butter and tasty raspberry jam for a quick lunch. Excellent friendly service - upbeat people!

The interior design of this place is beautiful, they had an outdoor area at the back and a little one at the front. Not much of a view for the front as its a standard street but the inside is very welcoming. I didn't notice Vegan options in the ready made glass shelf. I only stayed for a take away coffee so cannot rate the food and haven't seen the menu yet.

Best coffee and salad in the neighbourhood if you fancy a takeaway. If you have time to eat in, they have some great breakfast and lunch options.

Lovely little cafe with amazing food and friendly customer service. Had breakfast multiple times here. Consistently served good food, good coffee and quick service. Really good cafe to visit for a morning brekky!

Unfortunately this one can be summed up as underwhelming.
The meal certainly wasn’t up to standard. The coffee was good though.

One of the best brunch I had in Melbourne. The super salad is surprisingly tasty. Peanut butter toast are just simply delicious and satisfying. Would come back again.

Loved the breakfast here. Tasty eggs benedict and avocado on toast! Coffee is pretty good too. Service is pleasant and fast. I will surely be back.

Great little cafe. Great food and staff, and well priced. Will be back. Oh and good coffee too!

Really enjoyed my gluten free and lactose free muesli options. Good service and the coffee was excellent.

We came late and ordered lunch. Staff was super friendly and food was delicious. Despite being late (they were closing) we were encouraged to chill and enjoy our lunch. Great place, looking forward to be back

Really delicious brunch with good coffee too. We enjoyed sitting at the back undercover and by the small tree. Servings were generous and the like bowl was great. My friend ordered the eggs benedict and the bacon was thick cut and delicious with the hash brown

Cute typical Melbourne cafe, food was delicious and reasonably priced, green chilli scrambled eggs (pictured) was delicious!
