Comments of The Coventry

Conveniently located directly across the street from South Melbourne Market, The Coventry is a great addition to the South Melbourne cafe scene. This spacious cafe offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Tables out the front face the market, whilst if you’d prefer something more secluded then you can sit in courtyard to the rear of the building. Visiting for breakfast we ordered the Avocado & Eggs Benedict and the Middle Eastern Breakfast, along with a cold brew coffee and mango manga smoothie to drink. Everything we ordered came out beautifully presented. The Avocado & Eggs Benedict was a revelation, I’ve always enjoyed an eggs benny but the addition of avocado takes it up a notch. I loved how the egg was presented inside the avo half. The Middle Eastern Breakfast was another stellar dish with chickpea & paprika smash on toasted pita, lemon zest, cherry tomato, feta and rocquette salad, smoky bacon and a poached egg. The chickpea and paprika smash brought the dish together. The cold brew and smoothie were great options for a warm day. Overall I was rather impressed with The Conventry. I’d love to return and try the all day waffle and crepe menu. I give The Coventry 4.5 ⭐️ out of 5. Thanks very much for having me.

2.5 stars ⭐️ A relatively new comer opposite south melbourne market, The Coventry failed to excite any tastebuds here. 😐 I dragged hubby and kids out to have lunch with me on a sunny Saturday afternoon and thought we’d try the relatively new cafe. It’s previous incarnations never lasted long (remember that Huey BBQ Place?) And this one probably won’t last either unless they up their food game. We got the cured salmon salad which was one of the better dishes, fresh salmon and fresh rocket and lovely pomegranate that pops in your mouth that was unfortunately drenched with citrus aioli. If you think you are ordering a healthy, low calorie meal, you might have to think again. It was yum, but I think I would rather have the aioli on a small jar so I can drizzle it on my salad. Kiddies eggs on toast with avocado and spinach as sides got served a slightly browning avocado, and fried eggs that hubby said he could have cooked better. But it was okay, not bad but not amazing either. Hubby had the Golden Rosti, fried egg instead of poached. We both stared at it when it arrived. The Rosti looked like two chicko rolls. It wasn’t that great tasting either as it was a bit too sweet. Hubby wasn’t impressed at all. That being said the service in there was quite good which is a pity as they could really have done a better job with the food.

Friendly service, relaxed ambience, tasty food Context: weekend brunch with my husband on the way to groceries/market Chef made a mistake with my allergy and berries, including cut strawberries, were served on my dish. When I pointed it out and explained it to the waitress (who was not the one that took my order), she took my dish back to the kitchen and got me a fresh plate. She was careful to clarify her understanding of my allergy. Very professional and diligent. I can only assume the waiter who took my order didn't explain it clearly enough to the chef to begin with. Otherwise service was fine and food was great. We both enjoyed our meals

What an absolute hidden gem! I can't say I've ventured all that often to South Melbourne, but I'm so glad I had the excuse to, in trialling this beautiful café! First thing I noticed was the aesthetic! It's lovely, bright and light! There's a lot of greenery which I absolutely love. It really does help to make the whole experience a super enjoyable one. The staff here are absolutely lovely, attentive and helpful! I ordered the Acai Bowl (with PB), while my friend ordered a grain salad with chicken. She also built her own juice, whilst I ordered the Matcha Muscle smoothie! Both dishes were great and of a decent size too. My smoothie went down a treat.. not too fulling or heavy which was refreshing for a large smoothie! Honestly, there's very little (if anything) I could fault about this place! My experience was absolutely lovely and I'll definitely be back this side of town .. even if it is just to dine here! Would definitely recommend a visit. :)

Loved the atmosphere and the decor. We had chilli scrambled eggs and the Korean fried chicken and waffles. They are to die for! Must try when you visit. Staff are friendly and very attentive!

Friendly staffs, great coffee, lovely vibe and the smell of the freshly made waffles and crepes is intoxicating! The Spanish Baked Eggs was a hearty and flavourful mix of eggs, tomato sauce, chorizo, potatoes, olives, herbs and spinach. Bright and piquant flavours, thick and smooth in consistency, it was not made just for dipping the sourdough in but also for slurping. The Acai Bowl was a bit too runny for my liking but taste-wise it was good.

Great place to eat and have a relaxing breakfast, would recommend. Unfortunately they don't cook my girlfriends eggs well done as requested and didn't bring my water through but my meal turned out great and the atmosphere was very nice.

Great new Cafe open in South Melbourne and it was the breath of fresh air the area needed. Great view of the South Melbourne market and as great vibe inside. Beautiful food and the coffee was even better. I had the Korean fried chicken waffles and it was to die for. Would definitely recommend.

Gorgous modern cafe that boosts a big beautiful interior with even more beautiful food dishes. The brunch menu items are all so absolutly good, its hard to decide on what to order. Personally, the korean fried chicken and waffles are an absulte must! I love coming here.

Love the ambience, staff were friendly. Only sampled wine today, will be back for the food another day

Modern, laidback (as in you dont feel pressured to eat your food quickly and get kicked out), great customer service, food was delicious and great atmosphere cafe/restaurant.

Nick Bourgazas has always felt right at home in the hospitality scene. He grew up at the local markets as a child, was driving forklifts as early as 11 years of age, and has owned successful venues such as Piatella and Meat in the Middle in Glen Waverley. When he saw this space opposite the South Melbourne Market come up, he jumped at the opportunity to return to his grassroots. Named after the street on which it’s located, Coventry Café is Nicks version of a contemporary café which compliments the area’s multicultural slant. The venue itself has a large open space, with live greenery, and an earthy vibe. The venue itself seats over 60 patrons, and brings home-style foods to a modern area. Flavours of the Mediterranean feature prominently on the menu, and specialty coffee is in the spotlight. Coventry serves as a community hub, and multicultural space that specialises in food made with love, and created with passion. Breakfast options include French Toast with a quenelle of smoked yoghurt and vanilla infused mascarpone, berries, and crumbed pistachio; and the Rosti a la Paris with garlic butter. Lunch features Gnocchi a la Noire, which is made with homemade ink potato gnocchi, chunky porcini mushrooms, chicken and pesto; and Prawn Saganaki served with jalapeno corn bread. Crepes are also served at the take away window, for visitors wishing to experience the love without dining in. Coffee is sourced from Cote Terra, which is where Nick used to spend his days off, dining out. He’s using their Flying Dutchman blend for milk based coffee, which brings together the fruit tones of a natural Indian, with mellow caramel tones of a Colombian. The current Costa Rican San Marco single origin in the hopper is a naturally processed lot I couldn’t pass up, which had delicious sweet grape and cherry notes.

One of my FAVOURITE brunch places. Lovely place and friendly staff 🥰 I had the steak sandwich, prawn saganaki, strawberry crepe, nachos and matcha mango smoothie. 🤭 I ate a lot because it was that good 👌🏻

I really enjoyed my crape made to order and coffee. Great breakfast menu with a shout-out to the benedict avocado. The venue is also beautiful suitable for parents with babies as there is lots of space.

J. C.

Beautiful space and lovely staff. I had the Golden Rosti and thought it was super light crunchy. I also had a sneaky glass Prosecco leading in to the long weekend. Highly recommend

Very friendly staff. We enjoyed the waffles, pancakes, sourdough, eggs and avocado. Plenty of room in the cafe with a bright breeze ambience.
