The Re-up

This is a lovely place! Spacious and solid local cafe with an all day breakfast and lunch menu. I ordered the Lumberjack Pancakes - bacon, eggs, pancakes and maple syrup! Comfort to the max. They also have a fresh Breakfast Bruschetta which is similar to normal bruschetta but featuring avocado and the most perfectly poached eggs. Coffee is a stronger dark Italian roast and well made. Staff were super comfortable and friendly. A solid local.

Featuring pancakes & breakfast bruschetta. The Re-Up is covid safe with lots of spaced seating inside & out with plenty of natural light & plants. The staff couldn't be friendlier with water & coffee order taken within moment of arrival & in my humble opinion, Melbourne's best coffee! The menu tends to stay the same but caters for so many options, & the quality remains consistent. Delicious & a must visit!

I came in today for breakfast and the place seemed to be busy but manageable. However, the manager or owner could not handle the pressure and was taking out his anger on the two girls on the floor. Instead of helping the waitresses he decided to continuously swear at them, call them names, throw his hands up in the air and I even saw him throw his dirty dishes towards one waitress and ordered her to go clean them!!! We ordered two coffees with a waitress who was very prompt and friendly in taking our order, despite the fear and stress she had in her eyes from the boss. We then waited 15 minutes for the coffee and couldn’t enjoy it as the boss was being loud, disruptive and aggressive right in front of us- paying customers!! When we payed, the waitress that took our order told us that there was no eftpos, so the manger had another stress attack and started taking it out on her… again! It looked like she had started crying and the manger just totally ignored it. The dishes we ordered were mediocre, however I feel really sorry for all the staff at this cafe, especially with a boss like this one. Absolutely no people skills and totally arrogant. I will not be returning and will not recommend this place to anyone!
