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.

Extremely noisy. I had to shout to the person at the counter about the booking. Had to wait 10 minutes past the time a table was booked so straight away I was not impressed. They were busy so I expected to have to wait some time for the food, but it really wasn't worth waiting for. Small portion of very basic ingredients - pretty much three ingredients with a mayonnaise and bits of toast. Again, not impressed. After paying the guy didn't even acknowledge me but spoke to the next person in line. I won't bother going back. Better value elsewhere in surroundings you can hear people speaking.

Coffee was great and came out with our meal, as requested. My BLT was okay, but the toasted bread was a bit too hard and crunchy. Service was excellent- happy and helpful. A suggestion- more options for the people who aren’t big egg eaters. Sooo many egg dishes and we all ended up having a toasted sandwich ‘cos we didn’t want eggs eggs or fried food.

I went to Mocha Jo's on a Sunday for lunch. The staff were friendly and attentive without overdoing it. My halloumi salad bowl was the best main course salad I have ever had! I usually go for something more substantial and this was filling enough to be a good meal. The presentation was outstanding and the flavours excellent - it was also creative (good-creative), something I think is often lacking with salad offerings. I can't wait to go back for this again! My daughter's Rigatoni Pollo was also full of flavour (a Giant serve!) and my daughter in law's wagyu cheeseburger was beautifully presented and very good. Recommend highly.

We are a couple of bush bunnies who often stay in Glen Waverley when visiting family in the big smoke. We love Mocha Jo's as the welcome is genuine (thanks Dom), the coffee & food is fabulous, the location easy to get to, and they always seem to be open - without fail. Enjoyed my birthday breakfast there this year and the team even gave me a wee birthday cake in acknowledgement (thanks again Dom).

Every time I stay near Glen Waverley we go to Mocha Jo's. Never tire of the great food and friendly service. Can thoroughly recommend an early morning breakfast here.

Would score a 0 if possible. This WAS a Glen Waverley institution. No more. Don't bother visiting. Disgraceful. 1. We sat very close to the toilets - they stunk! Eating and smelling undesirables... not good. (Well.... that's when you get to eat.) 2. Got coffee order totally wrong. I have never drunk a Mocha in my life - never will, but was told, that was my order. Waiter was polite, but kept going on that I had ordered a mocha. No. Wrong. 3. Ordered a Gluten Free toastie. I asked if possible - waiter said yes, no problem. Husband ordered a sour dough toastie. Easy? Well... NO. We waited and waited .... 45-50 mins. At about the 35 min mark I saw a toastie go on pass. (It was mine) It sat on pass for well over 10 mins - (I could see the pass - sitting opposite it.) Husband's was no where in sight. Waiter asks have we got our meals yet? No. "Oh", he says. Checks the pass. He sees my toastie and asks. It magically disappears, then a minute later, reappears on pass. My husband's order....another 5 minutes. When they come, mine is cold and looks like it's been squashed/pressed under a truck. Another waitress comes by and asks joyfully, "How is everything?" I say, "You really don't want to know!" "Our waiter then comes over, and I say, " We can talk over there," (to avoid embassassment to my lunching party). "No, it's OK we can talk here," he says.... so I tell him. "OH", he says. I would have been embarassed by the state of the toastie, smell of the toilet and wrong order. 3 strikes - you're out. Goodbye. To the waiter's credit, he took off the toastie from the bill. Get manager to clean the stench, and get those chefs into line. Hopeless. 45+ minutes for a toastie that is cold and looks like a squashed wetex priced at $14.95? No, just no.

The waiter who took my order was quick and fast. Was able to get a cost spot under the heater. The food itself never fails, always delicious

Good quality local cafe with very friendly staff. Food is very tasty and coffee hits the spot. They do a reasonable "magic" coffee here. I quite like the mixed greens with chicken and brown rice. Very tasty and healthy. The chicken and mushroom risotto is also very tasty. Only complaint is the price 😂 and it can be a little noisy inside.

Great feedback, thank you! Always tricky trying to manage price point vs quality of produce and service (biggest cost!) and we agree sometimes we don’t get it 100% right but rest assured it’s our #1 focus! Look forward to seeing you again soon. Lisa

Went here for breakfast and when you read the menu the selection is fantastic however the actual meals are far from what the description claims to be. Had some kind of smashed avocado thing which was a huge piece of focaccia to make up for only about a 1/4 of an avocado and a pinch of feta. My husbands "Louisiana waffles" only had about a tablespoonful of sauce and the rest was a very small toaster waffle and dry fried chicken. Also in a restaurant it doesn't hurt to use actual loose leaf tea instead of a teabag in a teapot which I can make at home! Also more annoyingly, a young male waiter (who seemed to have no social intelligence or situational awareness) was sitting at a table next to us on his break and was for about 25 mins talking really loudly on speaker on his phone. He seemed to have no idea that others never asked to hear his conversation, or how it was irritating us, seriously take a hint and behave yourself! Not coming back as this is a classic example of a previously wonderful restaurant that has clearly been bought out by the wrong people and running slowly into the ground. Good luck surviving the next few years with more upcoming and quality restaurants nearby!

I just love this place, vibrant and buzzing with people, yet still excellent food. We come here a fair bit. My favorite? The salt and pepper calamari. And why not stick around for the banana pudding too? Divine.
