The team here is great and so is the food and coffee! prompt service. The owners are so kind and greet everyone as they walk in. The food is good altough I usually only order a coffee and a Carmel slice, Which are made perfectly. Always happy to come back here. Definitely recommend!!

If you don’t try the cheese and steak roll then you’re doing yourself an injustice. It really is that simple. I was expecting the same old tough bread and rubbery steak with gravy but I was completely wrong. Soft fresh bread, tender and well seasoned steak pieces and the deliciousness was good enough to warrant an immediate return visit. Sorry I didn’t take photos I was too busy eating.

So reasonably priced! Only $11.90 for a burger - a great burger at that. Highly recommend.

I travelled from Rushworth by train to deliver my health & wellness product (orange peel powder) to a desperate customer that could not go another day without it. We met at Bentleigh Station and did business on the benches on the street. I noticed the cafe and suggested a coffee. As we entered the welcome was warm and the decor was atmospheric too. Great choice of hot & cold food. I had an excellent soy flat white and a yummy toastie! Well done team & I will use you again when I deliver product again & again! ⭐

Bentleigh Café is my latest happy find. The coffee is seriously good, and the staff is super friendly—always with a smile. The food? Hits the spot every time. What I love most is their private outdoor area—perfect for a chill vibe. It's my go-to spot for relaxed mornings and catching up with friends. If you're after good coffee, a laid-back atmosphere, and friendly faces, this is the place.

Came with a good mate for brunch. It was a very nice experience. Service was very nice. Staff are very friendly. My eggs on sourdough toast were very nice and my friends. Big breakfast was exceptional and prices for the main courses were no more than $19. Definitely a worthwhile visit and plan to go back some other time.

We have a 'the favorite' and a salmon benedict, which were very good, flat white was good too. But we mixed up with Chai Tea vs Chai tea latte which my wife preferred. Overall it was a very nice breakfast
