Funkies Cafe

Reviews talking about pensioners aren't necessarily wrong, however, this is honestly one of the nicest places for me to take older family members (including those with accessibility issues). The staff is very patient and accommodating (for example, this is the only café in Toorak village that we've been to that hasn't had an issue with us asking for food to be cut up prior to serving) and there is so much space that I never have to worry about waiting for a table. I've come here consistently at least several times a month for about a year now and haven't had any issues with the quality of the food or the service. I often also see families with young children come here too.

Beware if you'd like something more buzzing ...and up to the minute. It is basic and I think the positive reviews probably reflect the views of the more conservative group of customers which belong to a pensioner type of cohort who like the same thing week after week. If this is you, you'll love it too.

A great local cafe for brunch or lunch. Nice vibe! It can get a bit noisy as groups of locals often gather on Sunday mornings. Very good place for families. Comfy chairs and larger well spaced table add nicely to the old-fashioned feel. Servings are generous and prices are moderate. The menu is extensive but I recommend a Funkies Breakfast for brunch, a Minute Steak (add a Greek salad and eat only half the fries) or a Caesar Salad with/without chicken (a big meal) for lunch. Add a mug of coffee. Remember to grab a newspaper from Woolies or the Village newsagent. Park in the nearby Woolworths car park, free for 1.5 hours.
