Not quite sure what all the fuss is about! A few 10.0 ratings? Not for this place.
CRUE is has lovely people, a nice atmosphere, and good coffee, but it aint 10/10. Not when you compare it with other similarly rated cafes.
The LCD screens at th...

I've been here a few times for lunch on weekdays, when it is full, but not crazy.
Every time I come here on weekends though, there is a queue to get a seat! Sadly, that's meant I've often walked on by and gone to the hundreds of other cafes within a...

The atmosphere here is great -- lots of little nooks and crannies to sit in, and there's the hustle and bustle outside as well.
The menu is a little bare -- no eggs or bacon or anything that way inclined. The pides are good though. Not quite sure ...

I agree, there's nothing that special about this place. It's slightly overpriced, and the atmosphere isn't great. I've been to a few functions here, and they were quite good. For coffees though, I'm not sure I'd come here....

Once in, we waited quite a while for our coffees to come out, and they had, to dad's disappointment, run out of banana bread.
My poached eggs on sp...

Porgie and Mr Jones has won the favour of most my friends, whether they live nearby or not. In fact, my sister likes it so much she suggested we take mum there for mother's day, and my cousin is having her 21st there.
I've been here a few times, ...

The Carpark Cafe in Kew is an offshoot of a well-established and busy cafe in the Camberwell Market carpark. Unfortunately, the Leo's Carpark isn't quite as busy, and doesn't have a market. This detracts from a lot of the charm of the Camberwell coun...

After the rave reviews, I thought I had to check this place out. Tucked away sneakily in a little lane-way, you'd never find this place unless you were looking for it. Given how packed it was though, I think everyone was looking for this place.

On busy Riversdale Rd, in a not-so-busy part of Camberwell, this little cafe services the local businesses and has won a good reputation with them. The interior is nothing special to look at or sit in, but from the trade I observed there, it seemed m...
