Hendriks Cafe - Kingston

$48 coffee and two lunch. The coffee is great, they use Omar and the bird artisan coffee (yum).The middle eastern pulled lamb was sensational. The chicken po boy was tasty but the bread was too tough(really hard to chew). The staff were great, I like the table decorations of an olive branch with little olives. Light bright and not too noisy.

This place is very popular for a reason; it is in a nice location and the cafe space and ambiance are really lovely. The service is super friendly and prompt. I liked the menu because it was a bit different to usual, for sweet breakfast fans they had some excellent choices. The coffee is really yum too but my one criticism is that mine was barely warm; I don't like a super hot coffee but I do like it hot. We ordered an apple pie waffle special and the H's Hash (which was more like smashed potoato but still delicious) - I would recommend both. It is also great if you like to take your kids for breakfast. They have a children's menu which is actually a play sheet with colouring-in and games and they provide crayons. Things to note: it is VERY busy/noisy. Try to go early if you don't want to wait or want a decent table. I would recommend though for a good Melbourne brunch experience.

The atmosphere is always buzzing. I met a friend here for brunch, the food and coffee were delicious but at times it was hard to hear our conversation even though we were sitting close.

What a ripper of a cafe. Friendly service, incredible food and coffee. Highly recommend. Extremely busy on weekends and they won't take bookings.

I have been twice to Hendriks now and both times were for lunch. It's relatively new and quite trendy and new fashioned. I had some kind of veggie fritters that came with an egg that had been coated in something and deep friend and what a splendid delight! Hadn't had anything like that before and it was a pleasant surprise. The last time I had a po boy roll with pulled pork and slaw and it was divine. Prices reasonable, service good, food great.
