Good value and quality for the money. Not the most expensive place in the world. Breakfast wraps were great. Fresh squeezed juice was very yummy. Staff are friendly enough. Not over the top.

Exceptional service and extremely accommodating to allergies and diet preferences. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our brunch and all the ingredients were fresh and diverse. Thank you for a great start to my sister's Melbourne visit and great meals to fuel us for our hectic day!

Absolutely love Cafe Poncho! The food is delicious, the coffee is always on point, and the staff are super professional and friendly. Best part? It’s totally dog-friendly—my pup loves dressing up and coming along to meet friends here. Such a gem in Bentleigh East!
