Kitty Burns - Melbourne

Pros but more cons here. Beautiful position right on river, Beautiful, thought out, light filled space. I ordered the salted caramel banana smoothie. Amazing and delicious. I loved that it was vegan, which is nice for a change. Cons though; service was surly and dismissive. They brought out a salted caramel cake by mistake instead of my drink and then acted like I was to blame and that it was a hassle to change. I almost felt like he wanted me to eat even though I didn't order it and it was before my lunch had arrived. Then my fish burger was actually so dry and tasteless I ended up leaving half. No body asked if it was okay. My husband ordered chicken and waffles which he said sounded interesting on paper but found it sickly sweet. A shame as the place had good reviews and was expensive, my smoothie costing approx 9 dollars. Then when we went to pay we did a dance around the counter as we were ushered from one side to another by staff, only to find we were in the right place the first time and then got stuck behind a couple who arrived after us. All in all, not great due to service and the food was just plain. Don't think I will recommend unless service change and the lunch is as thoughtful as their drinks.

I work near kitty burns and have tried it a few times unfortunately I've never really found it to be as good as the reviews. I tried it again today and that's it for me. To the wait staff - I want to order and I want to eat- it's simple. Today, I finally got the waitress to take our order, (sorry for interrupting your conversation) two meals came out, then I tracked her down again got the third meal (more chatting with the barista) but then you bring out a meal that was so clearly over cooked that it was unable to be eaten. To the manager who then asked if everything was OK, if you don't want my feedback, don't ask, please don't pretend to care if you don't.Kitty burns is in a lovely spot, and you promise a lot, unfortunately time and time again you fail to deliver.Never again for me

A friend invited us here for an afternoon meal but what had us all excited was the location. Right close to Yarra River, this cafe is next to a huge park that's ideal for cycling, running or a walk amid nature. This gorgeous looking place has an outdoor seating with Heaters (thank God!) for almost every table and an indoor seating. As usual (like many cafes), they serve Gluten-Free / Vegan / Veg variation of most of the dishes mentioned on the menu. Called for a Veg Lasagne, Panko Crumbed Sea Burger, Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger, Hot Chocolate, English Breakfast Tea and Latte. Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger was the dish for the day. Full of Meat, Flavors and High on taste, this was easily one of the best burgers we have eaten in Melbourne so far.Veg Lasagne was decent but would have liked to see some character to it since it had an overpowering taste of Pumpkin.Hot Chocolate was nice though...and so was the Latte. Totally warm in their approach, hospitality is good enough. Since it was a friend's treat, it's difficult to talk about the 'value for money', but the quantity and quality is decent enough. This place is ideal for romantic dates and wilderness lovers.

Came for breakfast with a friend. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals, something different, but tasty. The atmosphere was nice and the service was very good. The food and drinks were a work of art. Will be back.

I have been here many times as I live very close and every time I have been disappointed. Be it the wait for service, the attitude of the staff or the chefs interpretation of food not being to my liking. The place is pretty and located in a loverly place, just off the Yarra. The new staff change is refreshing but I very much prefer the other two local cafes.
