The Ambitious Act

I order a chai latte and it was very water, didn't taste good at all. Ipolitely ask If I could change it for a coffee because I wasn't really enjoying it at all.and the barista said that it is what you get he couldn't do anything about it.

Not a good service! Nothing worse that drink something you are not enjoying at alll

Down to earth, super friendly Cafe, Justin the owner obviously loves his craft (I have watched his progress perfecting a recipe over the last few weeks).

I feel so lucky to have found this charming cafe with a warm atmosphere. The cafe itself may be small, but it makes a warm and cozy ambiance.
I had a Dandelion latte which was unique, cappuccino and peanut butter cheese cake. Everything was nice.
If I lived close, I would go every day

My favourite cafe in Melbourne. Awesome coffee, food and smiles. Can’t recommend it enough

Totally loved it. Will be back. So positively different. Dandelion Chai was amazing. Great experience

Beautiful little cafe with mostly vegan and some vegetarian options. Friendly staff, really good coffee and good food. Highly recommend #Veganuary

Really enjoyed. Coffee was great, friendly service and would really recommend the blt deluxe and the patatas bravas.

Holy f@#king sh! T. Best Mushy's on toast I've ever had and probably the best coffee I've had in a while. Rate this place very highly

Went here for lunch today, as always the coffee was awesome and the food was amazing too.
They had a great selection if sweet treats for after lunch too, many vegan, gluten free options.
Highly recommended place to eat. Relaxed atmosphere and staff are friendly.

Breakfast 19/06/22
Best Breakfast I can remember, everything was incredible. Coffee just how I like it. Long black half cold water/served warm, so many struggle to understand a pretty common order sorry I can’t drink boiling water straight.

But back to this breakie, it was unforgettable, the chilli scramble wasn’t overly spicy to the point it’s not enjoyable, just perfect and what ever the flakes on top of the scramble added the perfect texture.
The avocado was perfectly ripe for the meal and couldn’t get over how tasty the mushrooms were with the sesame seeds

2 perfect coffees and Amy favourite breakie for less than $30 just perfect!
Couldn’t recommend higher, just wish I had more photos to get better views for you guys!

While Melbourne is full of fabulous coffee locations, The Ambitious Act is definitely one of the best. Rich, full flavoured coffee, perfect temperature and beautifully textured milk in the mugs of latte we consumed while sitting indoors to escape the brisk morning air. Try it - you won't be disappointed!

Let me start by saying I didn't know this place was vegetarian/vegan friendly when I walked in and sat down. But I had already ordered a drink and was too hungry to find another place but I actually liked the food now not saying being veg or vegan is bad just that it's not usually my preference but the food was very rustic, simple yet delicious and better yet reasonably priced so with that said I would come back again!

Beautiful cafe with real plants and the food was fresh and we extremely happy with the taste and presentation. We had the Mediterranean panini and mushroom aoli with 2 almond cappuccino’s.
The coffee was great also!
The only thing that lost a star was there was unwanted floaty friends in our water accompanied by a blue flake and dirty glasses we emptied and refilled a few times but the floats reclaimed their territory. We had lucky had a water bottle with us. But the service and food made us so happy that it didn’t effect our experience. Saturday shift

Fantastic coffee and the all of the meals we had were delicious, great flavours and the corn bread with the chilli beans was amazing

Fantastic food, fantastic coffee. Non vegan and had the chilli eggs. So tasty. Very quick service too.

Great service, amazing presentation and delicious food with great vegan and vegetarian food, drinks and desserts. The place is intimate but boasts a big personality. Extremely cute place. My partner who isn’t vegan loved his meal. Definitely will be back. Only feedback was the the water had some floaties. But luckily we had our own water anyway:)

Had a quick drink here. Looks like a cafe for the day also serving dinner. Heaps of plants on the ceiling, looks quite inviting

Absolutely loved the botanical oasis vibes

The food was delicious and the staff were so lovely!

Both dishes were a 10/10

Fresh, high quality food and lovely atmosphere. Staff are friendly. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu
