Old Man Drew

So much fun! The cutest cafe with the most fun decor.. something different for the eye to see everywhere you go; the chandeliers and delicate china inside.. to the leafy green nursery with garden chairs and tables outside. It is a delightful place to catch up with loved ones, and the food is also so delicious! A must. A beautiful local cafe.

Food was delicious. Everything cooked perfectly and full of flavour. I think for outdoor seating this might be one of my favourite places to brunch at. Eating next to the bees was a bit scary initially but they were ultimately harmless. Staff were really nice and thoughtful! Will definitely be coming back here!

Love this beautiful cafe. Its outdoor dining area is just like an oasis maze and the indoor dining area is beautifully vintage decorated. Great food and drinks. We enjoyed everything we ordered.

What an amazing spot, breakfast was incredible flavours were incredible. Portions are generous. Staff are very friendly and very welcoming. Love the atmosphere made for a wonderful Sunday breakfast

A really delightful place to catch up with friends while being in nature! Doesn’t really matter where you seat, as every corner is beautiful! If you are seated in the garden, then you can have the pleasure of enjoying the live music. It drizzled a little halfway through our meal, but luckily there are umbrellas that staff will put out for you.
I will be back again 🌸

Best to book online to ensure seating.

I'm delighted to share our first-time experience at this wonderful place. The design and decor are truly amazing, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The service provided by the friendly staff added to the overall positive experience.

We enjoyed a delightful combination of coffee and the Pear and Pistachio Flourless Cake, which turned out to be an excellent choice! 😋

For those planning a visit, I highly recommend making a reservation, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, as the place tends to be fully booked.

We absolutely love the stunning environment of this place. The table setting and decorated garden is so beautiful! The food and service is also on point! We will definitely be back! 😍

A Delightful Experience at Old Man Drew cafe

From the moment we stepped into old man drew cafe we knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance was enchanting, the food was exquisite, and the customer service was top-notch. A truly memorable experience that we highly recommend!

Lovely cafe that is very spacious! Indoor and outdoor seating, doggie friendly with their own menu🐶 The staff are so nice and accommodating. The food and coffee are 10/10, highly recommended. Happy we popped in, it’s our new fave cafe.

Also have drinks if you want to have nice brunch or can do high tea after 3pm-5pm.

Perfect if you want to get holiday knickknacks and get pastries to grab to take home to the family.

Great atmosphere and love the vintage garden- each corner has its unique feature.

Must say I really can’t fault the service here- they must have done something so right to maintain such motivated team- this is the type of service I won’t be able to get at some hatted restaurant!

Keen to try more food at my next visit.

I recently dined at the exquisite restaurant, and I must say it was an exceptional experience in every aspect. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the stunning environment. The ambiance was simply enchanting, with soft lighting, elegant decor, and a charming outdoor garden area that added to the overall charm.

The service was impeccable, with the staff being not only attentive and friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They guided me through their extensive selection of dishes, which showcased a fusion of flavors and ingredients that left my taste buds in awe. The presentation of each dish was a work of art, and the taste certainly matched the visual appeal.

What truly sets this restaurant apart is the attention to detail in every aspect of the dining experience. From the freshly baked bread to the delectable dessert, each course was a masterpiece. The wine selection was extensive and complemented the food beautifully.

In summary, this restaurant is a hidden gem that combines a beautiful atmosphere, outstanding service, and exceptional cuisine. Whether it's a special occasion or a casual night out, I wholeheartedly recommend it for a memorable and delightful dining experience.

It is a coffee shop with impressive effort for decoration setup, especially the garden area. It feels like walking into well maintained botanic garden with a great variety of plants and flowers. It is a perfect place for weekend catchup with family and friends.

The food and coffee are good.

We came early so the service is quite quick. Staff is fast, nice and attentive.

Fantastic atmosphere, much bigger inside than first appears. Food is average for a cafe, the sourdough was a little tough which would be fine but the table legs were uneven, every time I tried to cut it the table would shake and wobble. Street parking was free and easy to find on a Friday afternoon. Overall though fantastic would recommend.

Loved this establishment. The surrounding was amazing and very welcoming. We sat in the outside area in the garden and it was very beautiful and relaxing. Highly recommend this venue for a meal and catch up with family and friends.

This was the most incredible little surprise for a Cafe. I cannot believe I hadn't been here sooner! What an adventure it was to explore! The adorable table settings placed in perfectly decorated fantasy gardens. I felt like I fell down the rabbits hole of Alice in Wonderland. We will certainly be returning!

We celebrated our mumma’s 90th high tea on Sunday and we couldn’t be happier with this venue, food or service. Jenny looked after us and was outstanding from the start till the end. She made every effort to make us all welcome and was warm and her service was outstanding. Thank you for a such a memorable experience

Everything was fine, the only thing was that their knives couldn’t even cut through an scrambled egg!
Food was fine overall, but it could be improved.

Step back in time and wander through thier Garden. Old Man Drew is a show stopping oasis of calm that is difficult to replicate anywhere in Melbourne. Highly recommend!!

We celebrated my daughter’s Bridal Shower last weekend at Old Man Drews and I have to say that everything was absolutely beautiful. The place, the food and the service was amazing. So thank you for making my daughter’s event a memorable one. She was very happy as we all were with how the day turned out. The Cafe it self is absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you so much for everything and hopefully we will come back soon to enjoy your gorgeous cafe.

Of the bloody chain!

This place is the hidden gem I didn't know about. It's a maze of beautiful plants and flowers. Delicious cocktails 🍸
And breakfast was hearty and well priced.

I cant wait till next time.
