Chew Chew’s menu features an array of thoughtfully crafted options that cater to diverse palates. For breakfast, we recommend the Ricotta Pancakes drenched in ginger-infused pear and topped with a delicate pecan syrup and ice cream—a dish that strikes a harmonious balance between sweet and savory for just A$16. Alternatively, try the Smashed Avo with marinated feta, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of dukkha, served alongside perfectly poached eggs for A$14. Craving something wholesome? The Puffed Buckwheat Toasted Muesli topped with yogurt and a burst of fresh blueberries is both nourishing and delicious at A$14.

Each dish is crafted with care, ensuring freshness and flavor in every bite.

While the delightful food certainly steals the spotlight, the café does have some room for improvement, as seen in the reviews. There have been mentions of coffee temperature issues and occasionally slower service. However, countless patrons have expressed eagerness to return, motivated by the friendly staff and the overall quality of food. One customer fondly recalled revisiting after years and finding their favorite dish, the “heavenly bowl,” just as perfect as they remembered, highlighting Chew Chew’s consistency in delivering comforting favorites.

Pretty good coffee, really nice slice and reasonable prices. Atmosphere is pretty cool old French cafe type of vibes the digital prints just don’t really fit and feel slightly tacky

The first time I came here for takeaway coffees, they were both too hot and the lactose free coffee was a bit burnt. Gave it a second chance and came in for breakfast. Coffee still on the hotter side but not as bad as before. The wait time was also quicker this time. The food was lovely, and very filling. I'd consider coming back next time I'm in town.

Great place for brunch, everything we ordered are delicious and the coffee is decent. Service is on the slower side the day we visit but staffs are very friendly. Definitely would love to go back again.

Revisited Chew Chew cafe 4 yrs after my initial visit, with the intention of ordering what I had described as the "heavenly bowl", and sure enough, it was as perfect as I remember (feta in place of haloumi). Along with the warm welcoming service from ALL staff, and that perfect takeaway coffee, to top of a scrumptious feed

will visit again to rereview as the Cafe seemed nice, close to 5 stars. however, underwhelming eggs on toast, could have done something to spice it up a bit. tasted alright for what it was. coffee tasted a bit watery, in the photo taken it has been stirred. staff were nice and the decorations were lovely. prices were decent for a Cafe, serving sizes good. definitely will visit again and hope the food and coffee is a bit more pleasing next visit. food was more interesting on second visit. but staff were a bit unhelpful and slow.

Had a take away cold brew and the staff was friendly. The coffee tasted great too, more on the sour side.
