Reading Room Cafe.

Love coming here before classes especially for a nice cafe vibe. Food is great and the staff are lovely except this one Asian guy maybe in his 30s with glasses. He never smiles, and often gets customers’ orders wrong…Even then I noticed he doesn’t apologise to the customers…..he got my order wrong once and he didn’t apologise and his response was that I didn’t relay my order correctly (not in those exact words). I’m also a barista and have been coming here a while since last year and more regularly this year now that I’m full-time and he’s never once said ‘hello, good morning, thank you etc.” Dude never looks happy and maybe shouldn’t be in customer service.. Everyone else is very lovely and they’re why I keep coming here 😊💛 only giving 2 stars for service because of your one team member. their sweet chilli chicken wrap thingy with thousand island sauce good and is quite filling! Toasties are great too!

Great little cafe in the middle of the VU campus. Has the best coffee on campus with great alt milk options (MilkLab Almond & Bonsoy soy). Helpful, friendly staff, prompt service. Great selection of preprepared meals & cakes, but only a few gluten free options. Also have fresh meals on the menu, I had eggs on toast (pictured) was delicious! Recommend

My favourite spot in town! The staff is super friendly, helpful and will perfect your order after a couple of visits - I am so particular and yet my soy chai latte is made to perfection! Prices are as in every other cafe; it is part of the Uni so the opening hours depend on Vic Uni as well, but I've never had a slight issue here. Definitely come for coffee and a bite!

The staff here are amazingly friendly. Their coffee is well made and I've never have to wait too long. There's inside seating for the colder days and in summer the doors fold back to allow easier access to the outside seating. A great little Cafe on campus it also has a range of quick (heat and serve style) lunch options, sandwiches, sausage rolls, pastries, banana bread etc.
