Excellent, colorful and fresh food.
Fast service.
The environment is a little small and confusing, but clean.

Had a great breakfast/brunch here. All 4 of us enjoyed our meals. Very generous portions and drinks and food were delicious.
I had an allergy and the chef came to speak me to me twice ensuring he could accommodate me and make my breakfast most enjoyable.

The service was lovely and very attentive.
The cafe is a little bit noisy but overall a nice atmosphere and was a great experience. I’ll definitely be returning.

We had a really poor experience here on the 10th of December. I don’t usually leave negative reviews but I was incredibly surprised with how rude the owner/manager Ante was and how poorly we were treated.

We had made a booking for brunch for my friend’s hens, and upon arriving we were told that there was “no way a booking was made” and we were told “bye bye”.

Instead of the owner taking the time to speak to the staff members and investigating what happened we were embarrassed and humiliated in front of everyone.

I'm leaving a one star review as this is the lowest rating possible. This cafe would not get even one star from me based off the experience I had last Sunday.

It was my sisters hens weekend and we had planned everything down to a tee including brunch on Sunday at Ten Square Melbourne. A booking was made on 27 November and we have the call logs to prove it.

Upon arrival at this cafe, we advised the staff member Ante that we had a booking at 11am under the relevant persons name. To this simple comment, Ante said 'we don't take bookings - bye bye'. His tone was condescending, belittling and absolutely abhorrent together with his little demeaning gesture of bye bye which was completely unnecessary especially to a group of 9 patrons (including one pregnant lady) that had done no wrong other than to attempt to dine at his cafe.

I was in absolute shock. I had never been spoken to so rudely. It was unacceptable behaviour especially when we had gone to the trouble of making this booking and planning around it. Putting aside good customer service, basic human respect would've seen Ante take a minute to ask us when did we place the booking, how many people did we have and to somehow accommodate us. Or if not, to politely explain that he cannot accommodate us and apologise as we had a call log to show we spoke to someone. Instead he automatically assumed that we were lying and to treat us with such disrespect infront of a large crowd.

The arrogance of this individual was outstanding. Ante needs to do a course in customer service and perhaps learn a thing or two about basic decency. Hopefully this review helps to discourage ante from disrespecting people in the future.

Food is nice, while they don’t split bill - leave connivence to themselves and trouble for the customers.

The place is overall good!
Not very spacious though or having a nice ambiance but not bad either.
The service is good. Food tasted nice as well as the coffee.

There is a wide variety of food to choose from and drinks that are the restaurant's own special menu.

The food was amazing however, definitely on the more pricey side but was worth it. The space is a bit cramped especially when it's packed though! Food was a 10/10

The egg benny with pork was too salty. Croquettes tasted pretty good though
I don’t recommend ordering the matcha orange…

One of my favourite Cafés for breakfast. Very good coffee and the Vegan Chocolate Waffle is just amazing

Next time more vegan options on the menu?

Favourite brunch spot in the CBD! Its so cozy with a cheerful atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was amazing!
I ordered the chicken waffles 10/10, scrambled eggs was perfectly cooked, and the burger was surprisingly the best burger i have ever tried!
A must try brunch! You will definitely love it.

An epic cafe in the cutest spot in the city. They serve up your absolute favourites but also have an exciting menu with unique dishes to try. Full of colour, flavour and will keep you satisfied

Had the fried chicken and cornbread waffles. Also had the egg Benny. Food was quite good. Portion sizes were generous too. Good service and friendly staff.

The food was beautifully presented.
Eggs Benny was the highlight, the pulled pork was a bit on the salty side.
Fried chicken and cornbread waffles were average.
Quite busy as they don't take reservations on weekends and only accept walks ins, but the wait was not too long.
