Blu Point Cafe

I've never had shakshuka where the sauce is of the same consistency as soup. The coffee was pretty terrible as well, tasted like watered down long black (yes, take a standard long black, then add even more water) and some milk. Hard boiled poached eggs in soupy tomato sauce with nothing in it. The whole dish tasted like watered down tomato sauce out of a can, with some hard boiled eggs and 2 pieces of beautifully buttered toast. They got the toast down, and the portion was acceptable, hence the 2 stars.

Absolutely love this cafe. After my first cup of coffee, I was HOOKED! Their food portions are amazing and their meals are super flavourful, haven’t had a better chicken Parma to date! Service is quick and always friendly. Love being just around the corner to visit regularly. Also.. BBQ and bacon beef burger MOUTH WATERING!!!!!

Real score 3.5 out of 5. Large, fairly basically fitted out cafe located just across the road from the old Melbourne jail and just up from old police headquarters. Time has certainly moved on big time in this area. Now, much of the area is about international students going to RMIT and other nearby institutions. There’s good amounts of indoor and outdoor seating at this cafe. I found myself sort of quite liking it. It’s mid range sure but good nonetheless. The coffee was quite pleasant. They had a nice playlist on too and the service was pleasant. The one meal I did see come out looked a bit basic though. It’s a classic 3.5 for me. And, if marking up or down, justice demands the former not the latter.
