Overall score: 17/25 or <br/ in 5 words: Must order their egg dishes!
<br/ Taste The eggs ben which comes with champagne poached Apple, maple bacon crumbs and Apple cider hollandaise is quite a winner. Their rendition of eggs ben is a bit sweeter thanks to the Apple sauce, and the pulled pork was tender and delicious. It’s also not sickeningly rich, which helps me finish the dish! <br/ <br/ The hangover is also equally yummy. the cheesy herb toast topped with avocado, egg and bacon is a classic you could whip up in the kitchen, but FoM’s version is well executed and a joy to finish. <br/ <br/ While they use St Ali beans, I found my skinny flat white more milky and on the weaker end of the...
Truly one of the best (but also perfectly simple! french toast that I’ve tried here!<br/ <br/ FOOD: I’ve seen ALOT of raves for the french toast from ‘Friends of Mine’ so I knew I HAD to try it and I definitely have to agree! The French Toast was done SO BEAUTIFULLY. Sometimes, french toasts can get overwhelmed with too many different kinds of toppings and whatnot but Friends of Mine kept it simple and it definitely was key! The bread was fried to perfection and with the maple mascarpone, it was an absolutely beautiful marriage of flavours! The berries added a refreshing touch and the nuts added a yummy savoury flavour and crunchy texture! <br/ <br/ SERVICE: Decent<br/ <br/ Overall, I truly...
First time visiting this cafe and being able to dine in after a while of takeaway only. Was so glad to finally enjoy a mug of coffee instead of takeaway cups. <br/ <br/ We were all in the mood for a warm brunch dish so we ordered the eggs benedict, shakshaku and the hungover dish. The eggs benny had a great flavour and were perfectly filling. The tomato based sauce of the shakshaku was sweet and mixed with onion and eggplant, also loved the side of ciabatta bread. The hungover dish had every ingredient you wanted, bacon, avocado and eggs served on cheesy toast.<br/ <br/ Definitely keen to return to this cafe and try out one of the sweet dishes next!!
Post-Lockdown lunch. Obviously not busy with socially distanced tables, and customer register. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive as a result. Food was well prepared and presented. We had Warm Spiced Beef Salad (glass noodles, Asian Slaw, Red Chilis, Peanuts, shallots and spring onions, with tasty dressing), and Scrambled Eggs with sides of salmon and smashed avo. Altogether a healthy and pleasant lunch

Came here for brunch on a Sunday. Decided to sit indoors, but changed our minds as it ended up being a lovely sunny day. The staff were so nice and accommodating during our time there. We ordered juice and folded eggs, and far too many coffees! All of it was amazing. I’d definitely recommend!
Everything is fantastic about this cafe it’s in a great location, it’s spacious and has a great vibe. Coffee is delicious and staff are lovely. It’s one of those cafes that you must visit in Melbourne. I grabbed a coffee and treat (butterbing) from here.
Needed a takeaway coffee while in Richmond recently so I stopped here. They use St. Ali beans, which are some of my favourite. Coffee was prepared nicely and the staff were incredible friendly and accommodating. Will be my new spot when in the area.
Ordered the eggs benedict. It was an unusual version of the typical eggs benedict. However, the flavours just worked well together. The pretty in pink drink was fresh.

Food was really nice but the bread under the golden folded eggs was a little too crisp and very small for how much eggs were on top.
Can never go wrong with this place, great staff and good quality food- very reliable!!!
