Bistro 608

Great price compared to other cafes nearby. The staff were very amiable and courteous. The lunch spread, especially the salad bar is perfect. The Caesar and Crispy Chicken is the best combo for me. I always get takeaway for both dine-in and takeaway as it is cheaper and the medium size ($12) is more than enough to curb my appetite.

Seems a bit disorganised cant see the items in the fride without getting up close to read what is in the items. The till is sort of in the way as well so you don't know who is lining up to pay and who is waiting to order. They need a big board or menus so you know what is available. Seating is inside and out. Pastas looked good but it was a bit difficult to tell what was for sale and how much it was. I had a crispy cajun chicken panini, not much chicken.

Heirloom Seed is a well presented cafe operating in the bottom of an office building on the busy but picturesque St Kilda road. Frequented by office workers, school students, teachers, and construction/road workers alike this place has something for everyone. The staff were quick to greet me and attend to my order, just a coffee and some remote work before a meeting, I sat outside allowing the perfect vantage point for people watching, distractions, from my laptop. The coffee was solid and delivered with a smile. Being a regular of office workers it’s a clear spot for a meeting or lunch, that can lead to being bombarded by overzealous conversations from other patrons about what’s important to them on the day. Not a downside on the cafe at all but if you’re heading in for a quiet bite or coffee just throw in your headphones. If I worked in the area I’d definitely add it my list to try for food, their offerings looked impressive.
