Dear Abbey - Moonee Ponds

Went early for a breakfast and at first service was good. Got the food which was delicious but then it had got busier, though there was a lot more staff on we did not get asked if we wanted another coffee or table cleared. Eventually we caught a ladies eye and ordered coffees which got forgotten or missed, so after a while caught her eye again and asked how long coffees would be and she didn't remember taking our order ?? Hopefully, this was a one off as worth going for the food

Absolutely love this place! Devastated that it wasn't here when I lived a 5 minute walk from it but very glad it's here now and loved it so much that we ate there 3 times in 6 days during our recent trip to Melbourne.Couldn't fault a thing and loved everything we ate. Will absolutely be back next time we are in Melbourne.

Had lunch today, given table to go and be seated. No one came to our table until I drew attention to them. No introduction to the menu or specials available for the day. No smiles and table staff looking disinterested. Can tell they are not trained in hospitality.My husband ordered a burger and it came in a basket that ended up meat/tomato juices running on the table and he had to use his servitte to catch the drips. Lose the basket and serve on a plate.Customer on next table had pork buns obviously on the special of the day but because this was not communicated we were not aware when our order was taken.

Family friendly environment. Fresh food, always something new to try as well and the standard menu. Highly recommend.

This very good breakfast place is located in an old Church building just off the main strip in Moonee Ponds.Service is good, there is a wide range of dishes on offer and prices are reasonable if a little on the high side for breakfast.We enjoyed our meal and would go back again.Living in Brunswick where there are so many very good cafes, we couldn't help but comment that without that edge brought about by intense competition, cafes such as Dear Abbey never quite reach that very top level
