Delicious curried egg sandwich

I tend to like their specials more than their menu items. I still wish they would bring back their lobster, and chikn tikka toasties.
I had the curried egg sandwich yesterday and love the flavour, though it was a little messy to eat. Hopefully it stays on the menu for awhile.
The pepperoni mac and cheese was also good, though all the flavour was from the spicy pepperoni.
The brownie was good too.

Pros: Curried egg sandwich, Cheeseburger toastie

Good variety of sandwiches

Had high expectations based on the reviews, however the flavours were a bit weak and the fusion didn’t fit the form of a jaffle well

Cost: 10-20

That’s helpful, I’ll make sure to give it another go next time I’m in area and I’ll munch up the non-specials

Tasty Sandwich

I’d never heard of jaffles- it’s like a grilled cheez sandwich. I went with the scrambled tofu with “ham and cheez” and it was a delicious treat though not healthy. I paired it with a very green salad at my hotel cafe.

Pros: Many vegan choices, Quick service, Casual cafe vibe tucked down alley

Cons: Not healthy, Not open very long

Delicious

Got the roast chicken spinach and feta one, so good! Unfortunately the gluten free bread is a lot smaller than the regular bread and of course you are paying $2 more which is quite a shame

Cons: Gluten free bread very small

Really great stuff!

Traveller from the U.K. For fellow Brit’s their jaffles are basically toasties but really good. I had the tofu scrambled one, normally tofu isn’t my go to but I had a good feeling about this one and wasn’t disappointed. Probably not the best place for healthy eating but definitely a good place for good tasting eating on the go. Will try and go back before I leave for sure.

Scrambled tofu jaffle is the bomb

We go here every time we’re in Melbourne and it is always fantastic. Our fave is the tofu scramble jaffle with hollandaise sauce and delicious melted cheese. Great coffee and pastries too.

Pros: Staff, Pastries, Jaffles

Delicious and easy

A lovely little cafe with a surprisingly decent amount of seating for a hole-in-the-wall style set up. Located in an alley of The Walk Arcade, with some beautiful original industrial European features and cover from the elements.

Offers classic toasties 🥪 like baked beans and cheese🫘 or Vegemite and cheese 🧀 that totally hit the nostalgia factor, plus some interesting combos - Korean beef & kimchi with cheese (this one is a must try!) 🌶️ for eg - that work surprisingly well, everything we tried was absolutely fantastic! The coffee ☕️ is great too

Also offers a small selections of pastries and sandwiches pre made and ready for takeaway 🥐🥪

Amazing jaffles!

I got the beyond hamburger jaffle and it was AMAZING - I'm unable to have soy or gluten so I had their GF bread and swapped out the vegan butter for nuttlex- amazing!! Best jaffle I've ever had!

Cute little sandwich shop

The cupcake was really good. The jaffle was only ok but I'm not sure if I discovered I just don't like Vegemite or if it's the sandwich itself. Also on a 98 degree day, I wished they'd use their air conditioner.

Kind of expensive for something simple

$24 for a sandwich and a mocha seems excessive, even on a public holiday. My friend and i both got the veg bolognaise toastie, and it was a disappointment - essentially just vegan beef crumble with cheese in garlic toast. I'll give them another chance when I'm in the CBD, but you can find better for the money.

Great Lunch Spit

Fabulous toasted sandwiches and great coffee in a lovely quieter arcade. This is a small spot doing toasted vegan sandwiches and drinks well. Definitely worth a lunch stop and easy to find.

Pros: Simple vegan lunch

Wow

Thank you, Happy Cow and reviewers for helping me discover this place as a visitor to Melbourne. Understandably popular with the tofu scramble with ham, cheddar and hollandaise jaffle being absolutely delicious and just one of 14 jaffle options.
Covered seating outdoors, nice staff. I wanna come back! #Veganuary
