Pretty good

I wouldn't say it was extraordinary, but it is so good I could get some tasty breakfast in Sunday morning. Sandwiches and croissant were also good.

Pros: Open from 8 am, Variety of vegan sandwiches and pastry, Friendly staff

Great!!

Went back here for breakfast an embarrassing amount during my stay in Melbourne. Really wanted to get the chocolate croissant but didn’t get up early enough 🙈. The coffee & almond croissant I had was v nice. I also tried a vanilla sandwich biscuit thing which was good! The jaffle I had was pretty good (tofu & hollandaise one) but if I went again I’d pick something more interesting.

Pros: Pastries!!!!!!!, jaffles !, Coffee!

Cons: Not lots of seating room

A true 5 star location

What a range of jaffles, delicious jaffles, great coffee, friendly staff, good pricing, and this place is zero waste!

What not to love?

There's loads of space if you want to also have a bit of a sit in, or a catch up with a friend. Great vibes.

Delicious toasted sandwiches

Not sure if it is permanent but they have seating in the shop next door which is great

I’ve been here a number of times now. Lately I’ve been getting the beyond burger in a toasted sandwich (one of their specials) and I was able to order ahead. I work in the docklands therefore it is the opposite side of town for me so this is a great service. The food is hot and I’ve had the sweet toasted sandwiches from here and the cakes too. I had a lamington last week which was my favourite vegan lamington ever, every cake/biscuit I’ve tried has been great though. I’ve only had the coffee a few times but it was good too. Seating is very limited, you have to be quick but you can sit in a park if it’s a nice day, or find a place in the Bourke street mall. Really lovely people working there too.

THE BEST!!!

One of our best experiences in Australia was at Union Kiosk! We ordered the tofu scrambe jaffle, the pepperoni mac n cheese jaffle, and a (very large) almond milk mocha with vegan marshmallows. Not only was the food truly fantastic - came out quickly and full of flavor, but the staff was the friendliest ever! Even by Australian standards, which is quite friendly to begin with. You can't help but immediately be in a good mood when you stop by Union Kiosk. MUST VISIT!

Nice spot to have breakfast

They make good espresso, and the jaffles are tasty. It's in a quiet laneway, which makes it a nice spot to relax and have breakfast when in the city

Pros: Great coffee, The jaffles are delicious, In a quiet laneway in the CBD

Best jaffles ever!

Huge selection of delicious savoury jaffles, with some sweet options too. They also serve a small selection of sweet treats.

Great coffee and delicious hot chocolates too.

Amazing customer service. Staff are all so cheerful, friendly and efficient.

Edit: I visited here everyday on my four day trip to Melbourne and just couldn’t get enough of the place.

Great jaffles & coffee

What a lovely place! The coffee is excellent, the staff are lovely and the jaffles are filling and delicious. Lots of options incl veg and fake meats. We had Korean kimchi beef, and chicken spinach and feta - both were fantastic. I’m already looking for an excuse to go back!

Pros: Filling delicious food , Really good coffee, Great value

Yummmmy Jaffles

Not sure why I waited as long as I did to visit, perhaps I normally am not that excited by jaffles perhaps? none the less, I was glad I finally went. There were so many great options on the menu, and I narrowed it down to two, couldn't decide so I bought both thinking I should be able to finish it. The size of each jaffle is larger that what I imagined. They don't use normal sized white sliced bread. 1 would have been a good amount, and I'll know for next time!

The chicken, yay feta and spinach is their best seller, and i loved it. The bread crunchy on the outside, fillings plentiful and flavourful, just like any good jaffle should be.

The tofu scramble, ham, cheese and hollandaise was equally good, but I had a slight preference for the chicken version.

The staff were pleasant to deal with and the jaffles didn't take too long to come out even though I was there at lunchtime.

Looking forward to going back and trying the others, the pepperoni mac n cheese I think will do just nicely!

Pros: Price, Choice, Food quality

Cons: Nada

Amazing!

This was such a good find! Plenty of choice in jaffles and pastries. Will be back next time I'm in Melbourne 😊

Add - we came back again for a second time (from Adelaide) and it was just as good. Staff are super friendly and food amazing.

Yummy yum yum

What a gorgeous little place in an arcade that seems to be a ghost town. I got a Soy latte that was 10 out of 10!!! I also got the bolog, mozz and garlic butter jaffle. To take home I got a coconut cupcake and almond croissant.

Toastie Masters

Jan 2023
First time visiting the new expanded space (since before 2020) and was happy to note there is plenty of seating without being cramped in together. I had the spicy meatball special which was good but a touch rich for me. Washed it down with an iced latte. Service was super quick today!

Second Visit:
I decided to revisit during non-peak times and had a toastie and chai in my hot little hands within 10 mins; much better! They really do know how to make a tasty toastie!

First visit:
The toasties were really very good but 40 mins is just too long to stand around waiting. Unfortunately the size of the cooking area just doesn't allow for a reasonable turnaround time. Avoiding at peak times is recommended.

Pros: Tasty toasties, Quick and friendly service, Plenty of seating
