Such a lovely, cosy cafe with a great atmosphere and excellent customer service. It was my first visit since moving to Fawkner, and this cute cafe has already left a positive impression on me, I like this area! The food was delicious and served quickly.

Bites on Bonwick Review I recently visited Bites on Bonwick after a gym session, and it’s a great spot to grab a bite with mates after a long workout. The overall experience was enjoyable, with a couple of small things to note. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict and absolutely loved it. He mentioned the hollandaise sauce was perfectly balanced—not overly sweet, which can sometimes overpower the dish. It complemented the eggs and other elements beautifully. I went with the scrambled eggs on toast, as I was in a bit of a rush. The food was tasty, but I found myself wishing it had come out just a little quicker. That said, the cafe has a nice vibe and is conveniently located, making it an easy choice for a casual post-workout meal. Rating: 4/5 Would definitely return, especially for the quality of the food and the relaxed atmosphere.

Had a lovely brunch here yesterday. The food and coffee along with the service was top notch. Went home with a couple of cakes and was very disappointed. Both lemon and carrot cakes were hard and stale. Specially the carrot cake tasted extremely bad like it was made weeks ago. Had to throw them in the bin. EDIT: Went back again and got compensated with fresh almond croissant and muffin which tasted great this time. Also got a coffee on the house. Customer service here is next level.

Ordered an almond latte over the phone and picked it up — the coffee was absolutely spot on. Smooth, perfectly balanced, and honestly one of the best I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
