The Hatter and the Hare

Amazing decor, very nice food choices. Exceptional dessert choices. Could sit there for hours

Such a beautiful place where decorated with different theme each season. This is the most beautiful brunch restaurant I have ever been to. The decorations are extraordinary. You will be amazed when you come here. The foods here is alright. In my personal experience, the taste is not on point and it didn’t match well between the ingredients. I have been here 2 times with my family. We had the chances to ordered quite a lot for sharing as well. However, there is nothing impressive since last time compare to this time. The staffs are friendly and take care of us really well. I love the patisseries here. The cake is so delightful and beautiful. Overall, I would love to come back.

Beautiful decor (I noticed they change their decor every few months, good for aesthetic photos if you're into that) Excellent service and delicious food!

Drove from Mornington today for my sisters birthday, at your gorgeous restaurant, what an amazing place you have created for us. The food, cakes are incredible and the staff like no other, it is a credit to your team. Iam a retired chef myself and you will not find a better exsperience that this gem, will be back with friends. Thankyou The coffee was fabulous.

Menu has changed so much, only a couple of vegan and veg options now. Asked for the pancakes, the girl says oh no we don't do pancakes any more. Asked what could be veganised. She says she doesn't know? !
Turns out there is actually hotcakes on the menu.she didn't even suggest these second to the pancakes! Everything is way to sweet and far too crowded inside. Can barely move through the sea of people. Not overly kid friendly for the noice and chaos.

Loved the food, service and atmosphere. Parking at cafe is minimal, you need to park in side streets and walk. It was worth the walk. Definitely recommend

Honestly the best! I already loved the food here but they went above and beyond for my Nanna's 95th birthday. From the table height, chairs, where the table was placed, adding extra people on, asking to store something in their fridge. No request was too hard and the staff went the extra mile, even on a busy Sunday (1st October). It was honestly made so special due to the extra details (and how they spoilt my Nanna), I cannot wipe the smile off her face. She is already planning her next outing to THATH. Thank you team for a magical day filled with love (and the most amazing food!)

One of my favorite spots to visit. Food is consistent. Desserts are a must. Only feedback is I seem to have is that drinks such as fresh juices take too long. (a few times now Ive had my drink delivered after Ive finished my meal and ordered it before my meal.)

Fantastic food in an amazing and cleverly decorated venue.
Friendly service and generous proportions with divine cakes too.

There's a lot more.a lot lot more than I can describe or say about this amazing cafe.
Beautiful atmosphere.great coffee.delicious food.very tasty handcrafted cakes.
I highly recommend you to try their cinnamon scroll.one bite will lead to another.more and more.it's really really good.
For brunch.you can order their "Chasing White Rabbit". Mildly spicy and rich in flavours.
I simply love this cafe.
Please prepare to queue when you come on the weekend.

Re: - Hatter & The Hare our experience there is highly recommended. Food & service (for its size) I recommend it as a good lunch time " eat venue

Visited today afternoon for a lunch. It was 6 of us and we didn't have a reservation, but the staff was very accommodating and advised us of wait time and called us as soon as our table was ready. 20-25 mins wait was not bad. Menu is elaborate and lots of options to choose from. We were a mixed group and there was something for everyone. Tried the Vietnamese Latte and the Affagato along with a few food items. We were too busy eating so unfortunately not a lot of pics.

Food 10/10
Service 10/10
Ambience 10/10.

Would definitely be visiting this place again.

Beautiful place and delicious food! Always recommend "celebration dance" for friends who are there the first time.everything is great just that the seating time is 90 mins exactly. We were told to leave at 85 mins and we got the bill at 90 mins.understand rules are rules but it was not that busy tables next to us were empty. If you see your friends once a year because pandemic you may need more than 90 mins.

A gem of a find, recommended to visit by our vet while we waited for our pup.
Wonderful food, great coffee, top service, and cool fitout and decor.
Loved it!

We celebrated our daughter's birthday with the unbirthday waffles. Best ever decision. Loved the ambience, food was fresh and extraordinary and cakes were yummilicious and treat to the eyes. Our server was a warm and friendly guy. A slight suggestion to the lady checking reservations at the door. My husband walked in late after parking. Since we were already seated he too came in but the lady was too rude and asked him to step out.
Also it is great that they accept walk-ins but the wait can be under or over an hour. So better to book through the website or be ready to wait.

A treasure of Bayswater. Whatever you choose is delicious and served with a smile. The only negative side is the vicinity of Scoresby Road with its diesel fumes and noise. Make sure that the friendly waitress can hear you ;)

Great atmosphere and service.they had a great range of cakes and desserts. Those were such a work of art for the price - too pretty to eat and tastes just as amazing. Great options to satisfy any taste.

It's a busy cafe and parking can be difficult. Although they even advise you for parking place and time when you call to book. Better to book especially on the weekend as they are super busy. Definitely one of my favourite cafe in east.
Love Vietnamese latte.
I have just one concern about GF options in their cakes.

Good food, friendly staff and decorations were nice. We missed ordering dessert because kitchen was closed and we weren't told. Improvement opportunity for next time.

One of the best cafe's I've been to, Food and everything is 100% except the parking as they have limited numbers of parking bays we had to park on the streets

Nice food, but deserts and sweets not that good.they are very sweet. I think the sugar could be reduced to some extent.
