Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Came for brunch. Have been meaning to for awhile but live an hour away. Great selection of brunches which are available all day. So hard to choose what to have. I had sourdough toast with dukka, smashed pumpkin, balsamic, poached eggs and lots more. Husband...had corn cakes, poached eggs, halloumi, rocket and more. Both delicious. Good coffee too.More

I love going to Melzars for food and drinks! The Chai is my favourite and the hash stack is delish! Staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is warming.

The meat lover breakfast was good and rich. But the pancakes were dry and the berries for 4 AUD ( I count 11 blue berries) that‘s a bad joke.

The best breakfast I’ve had in a very long time! I ordered the Corn Jack Stack (without the eggs) and didn’t want it to end. It was so delicious. Their whole menu looks delicious. Highly recommend!

We had breakfast here for three mornings. Each day the food was tasty and well presented, brought in a timely fashion, despite being a busy cafe. Coffee also great.

Ordered the big breakfast with a coffee. The total cost $24. It came out quickly and the staff were friendly. My only disappointment was, the menu said a cheese kransky, but mine was cut in half, lengthways and only half was on my plate...not sure...where the other half went? The two eggs were beautifully done, and the toast was nice, but it was on the small side, therefore at this size I would have preferred an extra slice, one for each egg. Overall, very nice and I will go back.More
