My wife and I ordered two cups of takeaway coffee. While we were waiting, it started to rain. Because the place is one quarter empty and there is no one waiting to be seated, we decided to have a seat, drink the coffee inside and wait out the rain.
But immediately after we took a seat, one the male employee approached us, telling us that seats are reserved for dine in customers only and we are not allowed to sit down. We told him that we have already bought two cups of coffee and were simply trying to wait out the rain, but he insisted that we leave the seat empty, despite the fact that no one

We had the corn bread dish for brunch and it was soooo yummy! Such a great meal!
Service was brilliant, and we loved the fact they checked our vaccination certificate ☺

I love this place. Used to chat to the owner during lockdown getting my coffee. But have come here twice for sit down coffee and both times the barista makes you wait 15 mins for a coffee. He is too busy chatting to other staff. This time he forgot my coffee. Unfortunately won’t come back..

The waitress was extremely rude, unwelcoming and judgmental! We’d prefer to go somewhere more inviting in future.

Living up to the Fitzroy standards cafe, great food, atmosphere and great service. A good balance of sweet and savoury menu. Amongst my friends and I we have tried a lot of the dishes and there never seems to be any negative feedbacks. $28 bottomless mimosas for 2 hours is also bomb 👌🏻

Really nice cafe that's now open as a restaurant on the weekend. I just stopped by at random but I had a very nice combination of grilled asparagus and smoked bacon croquettes. Spacious interior and a terrace outside on the street. Give it a try, you're like it.

Came here for a family breakfast, laid back very cool atmosphere. The food and coffee were brilliant, and I enjoyed the non so common dishes, there is a good mix of sweet and savoury to choose from, and a few items for lunch. They serve Proud Mary coffee, if you’re a serious coffee drinker, you know what that means and I don’t have to elaborate! The staff were friendly and up for a chat. The breakfast tacos were amazing. Defs coming back to try something else.

Great coffee, atmosphere and vegan options.

On my last visit for breakfast I had the vegan cheese on toast (from the specials board). It was not what I expected, being a kind of cashew and herb pesto on toast with salad. It doesn't sound great from that description but it really really was!

The problem for me visiting Melbourne is that there is never enough time. Not ever. But if there was enough time, there probably wouldn't be enough spending money, so I guess it evens out. The reason I've started my review in this manner is because while Stagger Lees was on my to-do list for my most recent visit in April 2015, I didn't quite have the stamina to wedge in a full meal here, and instead had to settle for a drink while my phone recharged. The staff were kind in accommodating my need for a powerpoint, and I perched on a corner of the big communal table in the cafe and

Loved my chilled mocha here. I didn't get to try much other than their coffee but I gotta say I love its location and interior design. Great place to chill and catch up with friends. Also, if you're looking for a cafe to just sit and read a book, I highly recommend this place! Will come back here to try out their food.

Another great coffee shop in fitzroy that makes choosing where to go to breaky/ coffee/ people watching super hard. This place gets my vote because: the food is delicious (and a little bit vegan), the staff rock and the coffee is up to (and a little bit exceeding) the fitzroy standard. And for those who are anti milk (we can discuss this later) there is almond/soy alternatives.

So food wise: highly recommended is the mexi breakfast eggs in tacos which includes avocado and cabbage: all the good things. I put hot sauce on mine and I suggest you do the same. The cave man's granola is amazing

Well, that was disappointing. After organising with a girlfriend to head over to Fitzroy and try out the new offering from one of our other favourite cafes, Proud Mary, we realised maybe we shouldn't have bothered.

We walked in on a rainy Friday morning, when it really wasn't ridiculously busy. The first staff member who walked by didn't acknowledge us. Nor the second, until I caught their eye and asked nicely for a table for two.

We were sat down with a single menu between the two of us (no biggie, I'm happy to share) and some water. The staff member then returned after a

Well, ahem, you might say if you had my experience at Stagger Lees, that this cafe is miss-your-flight worthy. Such is the traffic in Melbourne, that even with leaving with what we thought was plenty of time after a leisurely lunch at the newest cafe from the folks that bought you Proud Mary's, I missed my flight home to Brisbane.

It was the perfect setting on a typical Autumn afternoon in Fitzroy made even better by the open plan of this cafe where the side walls are open doors. I'd ordered a take away coffee earlier that day from Stagger Lee's and can confirm it's as consistent
