Really lovely location and venue, wonderful and kind staff. I could suggest when customers are seated it would be great if staff check for orders sooner as we had to wait 15/20 mins before being served at first.
Food is well priced and delicious. Menu has lots of allergen options such as nut and gluten free as well as vegetarian/vegan options! Excellent to see! Atmosphere of cafe is very calming and lots of natural light! Would recommend!

I’ve become a bit of a regular here each Friday for brunch/lunch over the past couple of months. Located in the luxury section of Chadstone firstly I need to point out that AU79 is gorgeous. It’s really beautifully designed.
The staff in my experience, have always been very friendly and very attentive. I have noticed that they are always keeping an eye on the tables and clearing plates, as well as setting up for new customers.
Despite being very busy, there is also a high volume of staff so you’ll never left waiting for someone to come take your order. It’s done very promptly.
The food is consistent and really tasty. I’ve tried a few things now, and my personal favourites are the calamari salad and the smashed avocado on toast (sounds simple but so good). I haven’t had any issues with my meals and I have had a few there now. The dishes themselves are presented beautifully and they are very picture worthy.
There’s a great selection of coffees, fresh juices and wines. There is no kids menu, so don’t expect nuggets and chips (there are fries though)
The prices are average, and fairly consistent with the prices throughout the shopping centre($20-$30 per main)
There are plenty of gluten-free options and alternatives also.
All in all a beautiful place to have a meal
I’ll be back next week
I had to kill a half hour while waiting for a patient I dropped off at Cabrini hospital. This cafe is about half a km east. It's an ordinary shop front cafe with plain shop decor. Good coffee, quiet atmosphere and one-person owner/operator who provided very helpful, friendly service. Food options for those with no dietary restrictions are fine - very limited for me (coeliac). I enjoyed my short stay, a drink and a gluten-free cake.
