Ordered meals here for my workers each day from Kim whilst we were working in Melbourne. She was absolutely amazing to deal with and didn't miss a beat. Made my life super easy and my workers loved the food each day!

Service is friendly and fast Food that I've had has been fresh and good portions, and plenty of variety, my favorite are the sausage rolls, very buttery and moist, plus good coffee. Overall it's a clean and friendly cafe with good cafe food , a good spot on a out door table while doing your laundry next door in the laundromat.

Legitimately, these are the absolute best toasties in the country. Uniquely made on the burger grill, every part is freshly warmed then assembled. Epic. All other food is top notch lunch stuff as well, it is the most hidden takeaway gem I've ever found. - $10-15 takeaway tub of fresh chicken satay rice, or beef stew, or creamy chicken pasta - coffees - pork crackle Bahn mi - the toasty I usually order is $7.50 Staff is unmatched in friendliness too. A true Footscray icon.
