Super tasty jaffle

Had the special which was a Beef Bourguignon Jaffle and it was delicious. I’d eaten the first half before even thinking about taking a picture!!

For a vegan snack is was pretty bloody good!!

They got my order wrong

And you know what? It was so good, I didn’t even care.

I’m usually not one to mind small mistakes to my order, but I got a completely different sandwich, I was immediately disappointed but rather than taking back I just got stuck in and after my first bite it was so good I was happy they changed my order for me. Honestly, I’d come back here and let them get my order wrong again.

The place is very expensive though, so I’d only come back for a little treat once in a blue moon.

Pros: Great taste, Excellent service, Huge variety

Cons: Got my order wrong, Slower service when busy, Expensive

Amazing jaffles and sweets!

Have come here multiple times with friends and family and it never fails to be delicious! Had a lamington here recently which was nice, although a bit dry (could’ve used more jam) but can’t fault the toasties. Service is lovely😄

Pros: Service , Jaffles!

Stellar humans making stellar toasties

Beautiful people making beautiful sandwiches. The latest special (mushroom and beschamel) hits so good with an oat latte. I come here fairly regularly to check out their ongoing specials but you can really pick anything off the menu and have an excellent feed. This is such an important business to support and it deserves all your love (and money).
Thanks y’all, see ya again soon!

Pros: Toasties, Menu variety , Ethical standpoint

I hadn’t been here for a while which is on me. That will definitely be changing going forward. Great little space, delicious jaffles and always lovely service.

Must Visit

Union Kiosk is my non-negotiable breakfast spot when visiting Melbourne. I try a different flavour toastie each time and have never been disappointed.

Always awesome

My previous review has been deleted for some reason along with the photos! Anyway, I went back today and decided to step out of my comfort zone and try a new jaffle! I usually get the mushroom and spinach one, whose I love, but today I tried the ‘chicken’ one, number 6 on the menu, and it was outstanding! My new favourite. Soy flat white was excellent too. They have a new seating area next door which is great!

Hits the spot

Took the train to the city for the first time in ages to have breakfast at this all vegan cafe I’d heard about online. Hidden in a laneway the cafe has 2 entrances- one for ordering, the other with seating. I ordered the tofu scramble jaffle and a hot chocolate with a marshmallow. The jaffle was very tasty even though slightly burnt underneath. That’s ok for me. The hot chocolate was just what I like. Unfortunately the nearby roadworks was loud and possibly putting people off this area, but I do love supporting vegan cafes.

Pros: Fully vegan cafe, Friendly service with a smile, Food arrived quickly

Cons: Local roadworks , Was a bit cold, no heating in the seated area

Union Kiosk is a fantastic spot for a quick and satisfying vegan bite in Melbourne's CBD. Here's what impressed me:

Creative and Flavorful Jaffles: Their menu features a variety of savory and sweet jaffles (toasted sandwiches) filled with unique and delicious ingredients. I especially recommend trying the Korean beef kimchi jaffle for a flavorful kick.
All Vegan: For those following a vegan diet, Union Kiosk offers a haven of delicious options without compromise. They've perfected the art of vegan comfort food.
Great for Take-Away: The kiosk-style setup makes it a convenient option for grabbing a quick lunch or snack on the go.

Cons: Limited Seating, Focus on Jaffles

A 100% vegan place highly recommend especially if you like toasties! Lots of options, also offer croissants, lamingtons and a few other treats.
We got the basil/spinach/cheese/mushroom toastie and the Mexican toastie, with hot chocolate and a vegan marshmallow

Pros: 100% vegan, Lots of options

Cons: Not much seating space

Amazing coffee and jaffles!

I went to Union Kiosk hungover for a coffee and take out jaffle (toastie). I got the baked beans and cheese one. Staff were super friendly and the jaffle was amazing. Baked beans were homemade with real tomatoes so it kinda felt healthy too??! Great size for the price. I will be back here for sure!

Vegan croissants! 🥐

Amazing selection of completely vegan toasties (aka jaffles to use the Australian term), and pastries and cakes. I was SO excited to get to try a vegan ham and cheese croissant for the first time, and it felt so cosy sipping my drink watching the little birds hop around the outdoor seating. (Only con is not their fault, there is building work happening nearby which is a bit loud). Lovely out of the way location that is easy to get to, LGBTQ friendly, will definitely be returning for more!

Pros: Large selection of cakes, Lots of seating indoor and outdoor, Fully vegan menu
