Melba Hillsborough

The coffee was great! The food was okay. I found the lamb tacos to be a bit bland, and the meat itself was very hard and chewy, not as tender as i would have liked it to be. The spinach I got with my croquette benedict was way too salty. Having said that, the experience was lovely, and the staff and service were absolutely wonderful!

Outstanding meal here! I'm sad I didn't take a photo but the food arrived and I dug in immediately 😄 3 of us ordered the salmon hash (hope that's the right name) with my hubby ordering the chowder. And all meals were outstanding! Staff were attentive and provided a separate menu when I mentioned I was coeliac. Really impressed and will definitely go back

Have been to Melba on many occasions and have enjoyed their great coffee and good food. The last time I went, I ordered their seafood chowder which I have eaten at many cafes and restaurants. I really enjoy this soup but, unfortunately, Melba's doesn't resemble any that I have ever had and really shouldn't be called that. It seems to be curried which masks any seafood flavour and is too thick and creamy, it should be thick but this was too much. If it had been called curried soup it would have been accurate. It's the first time I've ever left a meal uneaten. If you are a fan of seafood chowder, don't order it here.

I saw this place already sooner and I wanted to visit it. The atmosphere inside is very lovely, nice and relaxing. Staff is nice and coffee is good. I ordered scone and I wasn't 100% satisfied. It was fine but not great for me. It was a bit dry and I don't like the taste. It don't have to be problem of the scone just my preference. Lol.

Being a regular customer of Melba Hillsborough I would like to give a review today. Well, Amazing atmosphere, good coffee, what a hospitality and nice beautiful interior with so many plants and perfect sunshine for winters. This is a relaxing place to study or chill with friends while enjoying the perfect Melbas menu.
