Mietta's Review
The corner shop in the quiet heart of South Melbourne's plane-tree-lined streets is now a cafe with a food counter. Good cafe food. Nice peaceful atmosphere inside and numerous women with their dogs outside on the wide pavement.
Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "When the sun streams through MPF's shopfront windows, and your Genovese coffee arrives on its little silver-service tray, it's hard not to love this corner caff"
The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "Running for yonks, this fancy foodstore has marked Montague Street as a fixture on the foodies' trail. Chatty locals squish up on an old church pew or stretch out at a sunny footpath table to mull over the menu."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 Here, on a suburban street corner, cafe culture goes couture. It's not bacon, it's kaiserfleisch that arrives with your perfectly poached free-range eggs, and coffee comes on a silver tray with an espresso glass of water.
Herald Sun 5/4/05 Donna Coutts score 16/20 "Really good food at fair prices. Decent service. Fight the neighbours for a table under the trees."
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "THIS is the corner store other neighbourhoods dream of having. Simple surrounds (white walls, dark tables, big windows) allow the food to shine"
The Age Cheap Eats 2004,Somewhere really special,Excellent breakfasts,Good vegetarian options,'The ultra-chic black-and-cream space looks the part in this fashionable bayside locale,but pots of sea salt and individual pepper grinders hint that this corner cafe's beauty is more than skin deep.'
VE+T, March April 2003, 'Coffee and toast with flair in peacefull surrounds.'

A real stayer, begun in 1987 and still going strong. Very popular for breakfast and with those shopping at the market opposite.
