Great for quick cuppa, or a full meal. Check out the specials as you enter. Seats inside and out. Fast and prompt service.

Outstanding food that is made with love and only the best ingredients. The coffee is of an equally high standard. Great service from lovely and friendly staff and the atmosphere is inviting. If you haven’t tried Chapel Cafe yet, give it a go. You won’t regret it!

Love this place, the coffee and food is great, and it has such a strong local vibe. I always get that community feel whenever I have my breakfast there.

I have been to many coffee shops in my travels and this one is exceptional! Service comes with a smile and heartwarming gestures. Coffee is amazing-I ordered a long Mac topped up, many Melbourne cafes often give me an odd look but owner made it perfectly. Then I ordered a breakfast combination that is not on the menu as he happily arranged for it. I have become a Raving Fan. If I ever come back to South Melbourne, this cafe is a must visit! Too bad my photo came as an after thought…

Glad I found this little cafe. Came after recovery lounge next door. Such a warming welcome with friendly service with a smile! Very nice owners. Food itself was delicious and very fresh; the coffee was also spot on. Great customer service and food came out quickly. Beautiful little cafe! Highly recommended.
