Lovely little modern restaurant, cosy but not too small. Great Italian style food, that was cooked freshly. For entrees we have lovely toasted, freshly baked bread, with some salmi, that I could have snacked on all day. Special for the day was, a four cheese pasta, topped with croutons, that gave the meal that extra texture it needed with all that flavorsome cheese. I had the chicken schnitzel, which was also good.

I only had the beef cheek baguette, however I have to say it is definitely in the top 5 best baguettes I’ve ever had.

The bread was fluffy and did not destroy the roof of your mouth while eating it. The beef cheek was tender and juicy, and it comes with a dipping sauce on the side, which makes the flavours burst in your mouth.

At the time of this review it was $26 for the beef cheek Baguette.

Coffee was 10/10, I wouldn't say it was the best one I've had, but it's very unique, aromatic, and full of flavour. They use some of the best beans in Melbourne. We had sardines and the beef cheek sandwich. The Napoli dip served with the beef sandwich was phenomenal, the sardines were good too. Definitely recommended popping by for coffee, food, and drinks specials

A really nice and sleek cafe that’s perfect for a date or fancy “every now and then” work lunch. We had the beef cheeks sandwich and it was straight fire 🔥!

The bread is super crispy on the outside but is soft and gives way to the ultra tender beef cheeks that sits in the middle. Perfect for dipping into that tomato dip they have!

For 25 bucks it’s on the pricey end but well worth the experience! Would come again

Had the lunch share meal. Almost worth it just for the bread alone. Sooo good. Plenty of food with everything being quite delicious. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower spaghetti.

Greta serves up some of the best sandwiches in Melbourne. During lockdown periods, they sell their sandwiches at Mayday cafe over the weekends. My favourite is their crumbed rockling fish fillet sandwich burger, but the other sandwiches like roast chicken, eggplant, beef cheeks with Napoli dip are all worthy of trying.

Cute spot away from the bustle. Nice, right selection of wines and nibbles. The service was extremely attentive and friendly. It was a 'spur of the moment' Friday drinks and Great made it special. Will definitely be back!

Good coffee, with a wide variety of sandwiches to choose from and cakes, you can't look past the cakes. The service is spot on too, with the wait staff carefully placing the cake into the box because she "didn't want to squish and ruin it". People like her deserve the credit and recognition, as I've had my fair share of devil-may-care wait staff.
Anyway, the carrot cake was amazing. It's beautifully moist, with pecans inside and the cream is the perfect balance of tang, sweetness and creaminess.

That was the best sandwich/baguette I’ve ever had. The beef cheek baguette comes with Napoli sauce and got some pomme frites on the side. $18 or $30 with a glass of wine. The beef was really tender, the baguette was somewhat hard and crispy with great sourdough flavour and the pesto sauce compliments really well. The French fries were crispy and compliment the baguette well. The orange wine as well is a must try.

Food was absolutely amazing! Service was ok. No bathrooms on site so no where to wash your hands prior to eating which is a good idea esp given how rampant covid and the flu is atm. Booking a table requires you to spend a minimum of $25 pp

I had a porchetta sandwich and chocolate torte take away. Loved the chocolate torte that came with a side of cream that tasted like coconut-y. It was so decadent. Porchetta roll was nice too, I wish there was more acidity maybe in the form of mustard, radish. Will be back to get coffee, friendly service and nice ambience.

As you can tell, I had a really nice lunch at Greta. A beautiful little spot smack bang in the CBD, sitting outside in the skyscraper shade with a nice glass of wine and a incredibly tasty sandwich is the way to do it. Book in hand or over conversation. Do recommend!

The food is delicious! Great portions and value for money, the interiors were beautiful and the staff were great! Will definitely be back again!

Lockdown treat! Well curated sandwiches. Got the beef cheek, which was tender, sliced thin and pan Fried. Paired real nice with the pesto and mozarella and served between a crusty warm baguette. The napoli sauce basically a sugo was a fun extra but not necessary as it was overpowering. The best part is that you can enjoy this sandwich and go about your day, unlike other sandwich shops which are so buttery and greasy it knocks you out after.

Great new place on Flinders Lane, amazing coffee and food - I ordered the Porchetta and it was delicious. Friendly service and staff

Genuinely a fantastic meal! The portions were pretty big so great for sharing. The schnitzel was the best I’ve ever had, and the Caesar was tremendous. Pasta of the day was solid as well! The service was also very pleasant and I love how the staff check in on you during your meal. Overall would def recommend and will be back!

What a great find! The food is to die for as are the cocktails. Such a chilled vibe with great staff. Definitely worth a revisit!

Such a great little place in Melbourne. I love the variety of food, exquisite quality and presentation. Always great service and great coffee. I really enjoy dining here.

Excellent experience here a few weeks ago, coffee is very good but the cake (Citrus Bint) was exceptional. Will definitely go back to the hidden little gem. The food menu looks short but delightful.

Great place for a work lunch or after work drink. Cool vibe, food is good.
