Have been there several times, service and staff attentiveness has been fantastic. Ingredients are all fresh, menu items all have a cool twist to them. Coffee, great - not bitter or watery - right down to the milk that's textured and not all foamy. Out on the sheltered paving, it's a great place to sit out of the traffic. Highly recommended.

I visited East Ivy cafe on 22/1/25 for brunch and it was absolutely delicious. Beautiful presentation, excellent quality and tasted so good there was not a crumb left on my plate. The service was excellent, I was greeted pleasantly by the owner Michael, who was friendly and welcoming. The staff were also very friendly. The bathroom was clean and in good order. The whole cafe, inside and out was very clean and nicely presented. I am not local to the area but if I was ever in the area again, I would certainly go back. I would also highly recommend this cafe as I am sure all the meals would be as good as mine was.

Great place in Ivanhoe East off the side of the main shopping village. Had a Nutella hot chocolate and ham and cheese croissant. Delicious. Great service. Will definitely have to return soon to try other items on the menu.

I went to try this cafe out as it was recommended by a “foodie” friend. At first glance it was a cosy warm fit out followed by a warm welcome by the owner Michael. The order was taken promptly and the breakfast was sensational. The Coffee and fresh OJ was also amazing . 5 out of 5 star for these guys. Definitely the best local cafe around.

The best coffee in the East Ivanhoe strip bar none. The owner, Michael, is always on site which ensures the high consistency and expediency of the food and coffee. I was recommended the granola and fruit bowl recently (February 2025) and it was a ‘winner’. Other times I have a bespoke food order, which is accommodated without hesitation. Outdoor and indoor seating only add to the ambiance of this cafe. The place to be for coffee aficionados and ‘foodies’ alike.
