My party of 2 arrived at about 10am on Saturday morning. While the place was packed, we only had to wait about 20 minutes. Service was friendly and prompt (we sat inside), food and coffee were great and we enjoyed our brunch. The presentation of the food was lovely. Will definitely visit again before I leave Melbourne!

This place is a great cafe, has awesome coffee and lots of seating and space. This place was on the way through whilst I was visiting a few places across Melbourne and was recommended to me. If you’re in the area this is def the best choice. Quick service too.

Excellent all-day dining restaurant with buzzing atmosphere and friendly local service. We popped in on a rainy Friday night and the place was packed. Loved the menu. The pizza is definitely the best in the area - lovely thin crisp base and delicious selection of toppings. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Booking available online.Can’t believe it’s taken us so long to try the White Rabbit - highly recommend!

Little Tommy Tucker Cafe

Reviewed By AngieBee55

It's nice to be able to review a cafe whereby no bad incidents happened. Lord knows, that's rare sometimes. It was quite by accident/chance that we came here. I saw something on Instagram from here that took my fancy, and wouldn't you know it, when we sat down to order, I couldn't find the picture again so didn't even order that (I know; screenshot it next time).Instead, I ordered the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon on a potato rosti, pickled red cabbage and poached eggs and Harissa hollandaise. It really was good. MAYBE if I were to be fussy, I'd say the potato rosti was just a fraction over done, but that's splitting hairs. The staff were friendly, the food came out fast, and it was really good. They do sell little cakes and muffins etc to either eat in or take out. I must say, not all looked appealing, but there was a great variety. Parking could be an issue at busy times. The council seem to think that by taking away parks, it "beautifies" the street. Uh, not so much. But if you go for breakfast early enough, it's a good spot. I highly recommend eating here. The breakfast is all day and there looks like a good lunch menu as well. Perhaps that's what I'll go for next time!

Wishbone has lovely coffee and brunch food that's healthy and a little bit different, owing to the Japanese fusion vibe. I like to hang out here with my computer every so often to get some work done. It's a nice airy space with great light, and the number of locals who swing by gives it a friendly, chilled-out atmosphere.
