Arena Café

So glad to stumble upon this cafe. Great selection of cakes and they do a coffee+cake special for $9.90 🍰

Service and ambiance is amazing, and cakes and coffee and hot chocolate is perfect! The backdrop on the wall makes you feel like you are in Italy :)

Definitely coming back again next time.

Beautiful cafe located in the Glen shopping centre, across from spotlight and TK maxx. Came here on a Sunday arvo, it was busy but the wait time was still quite short and we were impressed. The quality of the coffee is great and the raspberry/pistachio tart was amazing. Highly recommend if you’re around here!

Delicious soup of the day to keep me warm before heading to work 👍

Always a busy place on the weekends with friendly staff and nice seating area outside, especially by the railing overlooking Woolies.

Food is surprisingly good too. Favorites include Benedict, Butter Milk Pancakes and the Arena Risotto (yum!)

Dirty chai was pretty strong caffeine hit, which was very needed during a long shopping trip. Good location for a sit down and enjoying a dessert and coffee. Cheesecake was delicious, pretty much what you'd expect. The macadamia nuts were an excellent addition.
Nothing to complain here, would come back again.

Great place for a quick breakfast with a wide variety of options. The crispy chicken roll is a must try. The breakfast bruschetta was delicious although it looks a little bit messy on the plate. The health shake was perfectly balanced and fulfilling as an alternative to the breakfast.

Great place for quick stop after shopping. Food wise, they have plenty of options from light breakfast to heavy meals for lunch.
Coffee wise, it's alright. Staff were attentive and friendly.
Great vibe, comfy place and great environment.

A big range of delicious Asian infused brunch selections. The coffee was nice too. Big shout out to the chilli egg and pulled pork burger! Will definitely visit again.

I come here often for breakfast. The food is delicious and the staff are always friendly and professional. The owner is often present making sure things are running smoothly. It has an open and bright atmosphere.

On Monday 20th February my friend and I went to Arena Cafe - Glen Waverley for lunch and drinks and were served by Mel. She was so friendly, kind and well mannered and Gab for cooking delicious pancakes, orange juice, iced coffee and three yo-yos. We enjoyed coming here today. Highly recommended.

They have the best New York cheesecake I have ever tried. Its creamy, smooth and not much sweet which I like the most 🤍 🤍Tasty coffee , great atmosphere and nice staff.

Price reasonable, foods delicious as expected. Always full house during morning but still serve quickly. Well done

Best risotto, out beats anywhere else on Kingsway. Great coffee. Great linguine. Def will come here a lot more.

Coffee and drinks are amazing

Good coffee and food. Friendly staff and great service. Choice of small snacks up to medium sized meals with a vast range of breakfast options (cold or hot). Situated in shopping centre on first level down woolworths end of the glen. Good place for a catch up.

Absolutely fantastic every time I go for breakfast. The French toast with Maple bacon is particularly good. But I haven’t ordered badly ever. Lots of staff means service is fast and efficient.

I’ve never written a review before, but I had to today.
I stopped by The Arena Cafe for some coffee and cake. The service was friendly and fast. I sat down and next thing I know, my almond latte and tiramisu were being served to me with a smile. One of the best tiramisu’s I’ve had (and I’ve had a lot 😋) and the coffee was perfect! Thank you! I’ll be back!

I had two great lunch experiences at this cafe. Ordered salad, soup and risotto. Food is quality, tasty and service is fast. Keep up the great work, thank you!

Great coffee and staff were very friendly and nice. Great brunch place with a nice vibe.

Delightful and juicy steak lunch.
