Luncheonette - Melbourne

Just a coffee stop today. Can’t fault the product or the service. The coffee was superb. Service was charming. Cute place too. We’ll be back.

Cute little place, friendly staff who put up with my friend and I chatting for 2 hours and seemed to have lovely regulars.<br/ <br/ I had the crunchy veg and the home-made orange blossom lemonade. The sandwich was the nicest sandwich I've had in years, had the home-made feel to it. And the home-made lemonade was very nice, not overly sweet or bubbly. My friend got an iced chocolate and she said it was lovely.

Small and quaint, Luncheonette has settled into the quieter side of an inner suburb of Melbourne.<br/ <br/ Ordered:<br/ Luncheonette special) Crispy Polenta with mushroom, poached eggs, hollandaise and grilled halloumi $17)<br/ <br/ Review:<br/ To be frank, there can be nothing wrong with the classic eggs benny, hollandise sauce sitting on a rich mushroom party.<br/ The textures were there from the crispy polenta, to the soft mushrooms, to the bite of the halloumi.<br/ Food looks quite small, but packs a punch.<br/ <br/ The inside is quite small, but it 's not nauseatingly cramped. This is probably due to the natural sunlight flooding the interior; letting you experience the 'outside ' without the inconvenience of eating outside. This is great for the locals of Kensington. Away from the bustle of Kensington road, but also a stone 's throw away from the community.

The Luncheonette is a charming, cozy cafe where you can grab a cup of coffee and a light meal. They offer a small but appetizing menu, and I decided to try the Reuben sandwich. It arrived promptly and, although it was a straightforward dish, it was delicious. I would definitely suggest dining here if you're looking for a sincere and satisfying meal served with a side of warmth and hospitality.

My uncle didn't speak highly of this place, as the last time he visited, years ago, he was given spoiled milk in his coffee and the staff dismissed his concerns. Despite this, we decided to visit for a leisurely breakfast. The food did take a while to come out, but it was understandable as their kitchen is quite small. We ordered the Luncheonette breakfast roll and the baked eggs. The breakfast roll was delicious, with all the ingredients I was craving that day. My husband enjoyed the baked eggs, especially the chorizo infused with the eggs. As for the coffee, my husband didn't like his latte at first, but his second one was much better. I had a chai latte which was nice with no complaints. Overall, we had a good experience and would recommend giving it a try.
