delicious menu and fast, friendly service at this popular Blackburn eatery

a great place to enjoy some sunshine and good coffee in the spring

This cafe consistently provides exceptional standard of food, coffee and customer service and a great atmosphere as well!

Friendly, attentive and efficient staff. Food was also very good

We had a team lunch today and we managed to book an outdoor table. Food was great and staff were friendly and helpful. Food was served pretty quickly. Everyone was happy with their food. And we were able to pay separately. Perfect for bringing the team here for lunch. Will come back next time.

Very pleasant environment, range of age groups meeting socially, prompt and attentive service. Casual, quiet and excellent value for money menu, will go again.

Always a happy experience with prompt friendly staff, food perfectly presented & congenial surroundings. The cafe is always near capacity inside & out with a good vibe. Clearly onr of the top cafes in the Eastern suburbs. Bruce C.

Great service and excellent food. Nice garden location too thanks

Always has attractive menu items. Service is friendly and efficient.

Coffees were great, ditto the seafood linguini!!! The place was full and the poor staff were run off their feet. Long delay in getting one drink. We forgive them :)

Great service and good weather to sit outside which is quieter.

Very busy but service very good. Staff very attentive and professional

Lovely food and service with a smile - very nice brunch

The food was very tasty and very good! I will go back next time to try other delicacies. We come from City. The only thing I hope is that the food is not too burnt. Of course everyone has different tastes. You can try asking the guest how much they need. Thank you

The food is always lovely and service great even though it was busy today

Everything was excellent. The noise levels are not your fault . People just seem to talk far too loudly, not sure why. I have been many times, and always like the fact that you have an indoor or outdoor choice. And that if you book, there is always a place to be. The staff are always very pleasant indeed .The food is always fresh and lovely and imaginative and well presented . Thank you so much, Marguerite

Lovely staff and food will visit again Just one more we wish to have more vegan option

Staff were friendly and courteous, meals were delivered in a timely manner and were of generous proportions. Marked down a little for noise levels but only because it seemed a very popular restaurant with patrons.

We were celebrating a birthday today & had a table for 4 booked located EXACTLY where I asked to be seated. The service was excellent, our water bottles were replaced as soon as they emptied, the service efficient, the waitress was lovely… couldn’t do enough for us. I ordered the Japanese omelette with pulled pork & it was next level with regard to serving size and taste. My friends had food envy looking at my dish & commented that they would try it next visit. We took a birthday cake in and weren’t charged ‘cakage’ which I always appreciate. The food is very well priced & the sparkling wine is delightful. I would rate Food Republic as one of my top ‘cafe’s to visit. Well done team & Merry Christmas.

Menu and food warrant many return visits. Service was pleasant. Servings were very generous.

Food was great. Service was great. Very willing to assist with extra needs of wheelchair. Actually happy to answer, different questions regarding the menu and ordering. On an extremely busy day when staff were under pressure as a customer you still received great service.

We sat outside on a most beautiful day. The food is delicious and large protions so I will be able to taste it again for dinner tonight. Yum!

We were outside, beautiful! Enjoyed the lemon slice best. A man seated very close was very noisy speaking on the phone for ages. Perhaps have a sign…please move away to take phone calls.

On such a busy morning the staff were great! Welcoming and professional. Our meal came in good time and was lovely - thank you all. Merry Christmas!

Great food, great service, lovely staff, and a great atmosphere.

Table location not good,blinds and floor very dirty. Service good

Great food, great service and atmosphere ! Highly recommend, especially the coffee!

We enjoyed fabulous food ,the mango chicken salad was fresh and perfection, and the place was pumping but the service was efficient and swift with personality SO professional! So impressive

Clean and relaxing environment. Friendly staff. Fresh and yummy food. Happy atmosphere.

Staff were very attentive and helpful. Coffee was much to my liking

Terrific, except no chilli order had chilli. Staff happily fixed.

Very pleasant lunch, friendly staff, nice environment not much more I can say

Excellent quality food and service. My go-to place for a coffee or a meal.

Table was ready (but not requested table), order promptly taken, serving time not excessive, took while to catch waiter attention for coffee order after, noisy surrounds hence preference for table in quieter 20 - 24 niche

Great cafe, delicious food, great friendly service. I always enjoy my meals there.

Friendly and clean. Food was great as usual. Music could have been a little softer but that could just be me getting old! Perfect place for a small group get together. So so good to be able to pay separately too!!

The food was wonderful and the helpers pleasant and helpful

All really, really good! Food, service, atmosphere - all were terrific.

Food was great and my dirty chai was seriously good
