G'day, folks! Let me share our experience at Allegra Cafe. While there were some enjoyable aspects, there were a few frustrations that left us a bit disappointed. First off, I must commend the staff at Allegra Cafe for their friendliness and the delicious food they served. We had a great time enjoying the company of our friends and indulging in the tasty dishes on the menu. The flavors were spot on, and we left with satisfied taste buds. However, our experience took a bit of a turn when the manager approached our group about an unpaid bill of $26. It was frustrating because everyone in our group had already settled their payments. The manager's approach was a bit uncomfortable as it wasn't done discreetly, and it seemed that other customers overheard the discussion. We felt a tad embarrassed by the situation. Nevertheless, I want to emphasize that the food itself was enjoyable. The flavors and quality were definitely a highlight of our visit. While we appreciate the good aspects of our time at Allegra Cafe, the unfortunate incident with the manager's approach did affect our overall experience. We hope that in the future, they can handle such matters more discreetly to avoid any unnecessary embarrassment for customers. Cheers!

Visited here a few months back when passing through Carrum Downs. Staff were all generally friendly, and a good variety of food on the menu. We both had the fried chicken burger - my partner had asked for it without aioli, but unfortunately it came out with the aioli all over it so had to be sent back - did get a bit of a 'look' from the staff member when we mentioned it, but 100% my partner asked for it without the aioli, and it was all over it so couldn't even be scraped off. The replacement one was fine. The burgers looked huge, but I would say there wasn't that much actual chicken - I thought it tasted good though, however my partner wasn't as fussed on it. Coffee was good...and a large is definitely a large! :) Will likely try the Banh Mi if we're ever back down that direction, as they did look really good.

We have been looking for a new place to eat, especially breakfast as we usually wear places out or they shut down, so up popped Allegra cafe, we thought why not and went down on a Sunday morning around 11am, as soon as we entered we were greeted and seated immediately , The lady was friendly and quick before we knew it we had a bottle of water on the table, our drinks order was in and within a minute our food order was taken and it was awesome ..The coffee and hot chocolate cups were huge and our food plates were big portions and very tasty . We shall definitely be back and highly recommend you go and check out this hidden gem.

This is the best cafe in Carrum Downs (affectionately known as Casa D). - Lan, Hayley, Hung and the crew are great. This new business has been thriving since it opened in 2020 and their Banh MI’s are authentic and their range of other food is great, from croissants to toasties in the morning, to Banh mi’s, lasagna, lemongrass chicken, the Allegra burger and wrap - it’s just endless … and they will even make up a custom meal to however you like - my favourite is the baked potatoes and … when Hayley makes it (hint hint) the Tuscan Chicken. Really great range of food and the team are super friendly. Support local during these tough times and also give them a break when they are busy as they try really hard to make you as a customer the only people they are catering for!

Allegra does a great job of making a classic style bacon and egg roll. With rasher bacon, runny egg and a thick layer of cheese crafted in a soft seeded bun, there’s not much more you could ask for. The roll reminds me of camping, it’s got that distinct taste and feel. And for $8.50 it really is worth every cent and then some. This cafe is the first 10/10 bacon and egg roll experience of my life. Well done Allegra

Updating my review...still love this place. The staff are all lovely, and they know my coffee order and even remember how I like my eggs cooked. Even when busy and run off their feet they still have a smile and warm greeting for all that walk in the door. Smashed avo for Bfast is divine, and anything is great to eat for lunch..although not yet worked my way through all the menu yet. Go there you won't regret it!!

This place is so friendly , every time I bring my family here they smile and say hi to my kids and are so nice. The food is amazing and arrives so quick. Coffee is strong and beautiful flavour and served in big mugs for those morning when you need a big coffee. Recently we did father's Day there and they made me feel so special and they let's the kids take a balloon home. Wonderful place.

The staff are always welcoming and friendly. I love the seating outside when the weather is nice. Fantastic roast and gravy rolls and banh mi (the lemongrass beef was on point today.) They are also open 7 days which is awesome.

Ordered coffee via UberEats delivery each day while in covid isolation. I had not visited this cafe prior, despite being local. The delivered coffee was consistently excellent each day and kept me sane in isolation. I look forward to visiting in person soon.

Coffee is decent service and food terrible been waiting 40 minutes only for them to forget that i ordered even though the food has been paid for. My friend asked for the gluten free option and got regular i asked for cheese on my scrambled eggs and got cheese on toast. When this Cafe first open up it was great

Lana has an amazing new Cafe, hidden Gem with the freshest and tasty Bahmi Rolls! Her experience stems from a busy St Kilda Rd premises. Thoroughly enjoyed the succulent pork and Allegra Coffee was spot on. It's an added Bonus that you can sit inside and outside amongst highly clean premises …

My partner and I come here for a late breakfast after our recovery sessions on a Saturday, and it’s the perfect way to top the morning off. Staff are amazing and the food is phenomenal.

Super find hidden away. Well worth the trip. Staff super friendly, coffee was delicious and the food was excellent. The flavours in my Thai Beef salad were superb. The amazing smells from the kitchen while you wait for your meal build the anticipation. Now on to a sweet treat. More

Loose 2 stars for having a Credit card surcharge. Loose my lunch money. Very average Coffee and very average Mediterranean Breakfast.

Wow! If you’re looking for a new breakfast spot, this is the place to try. We come here every weekend (almost) without fail - so much so that we are on a first name basis. The friendliness is outstanding and one of the most important

Great coffee.. the quantity of the coffee is much larger than the other cafe's.. excellent staff...

This is the place for Bahn Mi, any given day of the week. Ask for Roast Pork, and you will get cracking crackling, Chilli is required. Rolls are fresh and compact easy for fast consumption. Ginger beer is recommended.

The customer service at this cafe is awesome and the food and coffee is delicious. We come here once a week and the standard does not change . Highly recommended

Awesome food. My colleagues and I always have brekkie wraps delivered to our work on Saturday morning to start the day off right. Also great when feeling it from the night before! Can't recommend a better place.

This is a hidden gem. Beautiful coffee and breakfast. Most of all, service with a smile. I would definitely com back. Very clean and great atmosphere.

Good Cafe in an industrial area. Excellent car parking. The typical items are available for breakfast or lunch with a few Vietnamese options as well. The service was quick and the staff pleasant. More

Allegra is in my top 5 for coffee in the suburb:- I have had it delivered via menulog & sometimes go in person, either way it has been made & presented perfectly. Bahn Mi's I would rate 8/10. …

Drove all the way from Melton after seeing great reviews. Allegra Cafe did not disappoint! The friendliest staff I've ever met and one if the best Banh Mi's in town. Definitely worth the visit!

Every time I go here the management always greet you with a smile, if you’re a regular they’ll get to know you personally. Awesome customer service. Lovely little cafe and good quality foods.

Great coffee and their Bahn Mi rolls are fantastic. I must have spent a fortune here during COVID, via Uber Eats. Recently visisted the cafe for the first time and the staff are lovely.

Definitely one of the best banh mí's going round as good as if not better than springvale. Pretty close to rigididge out side of Vietnam. Definitely recommend if your are a purist More

A pretty good roast pork banh mi but way too much hoi sin sauce. They didn’t toast the roll - not super crusty but still decent. The best part was the wedges of crackling.

Great food, excellent coffee. Highly recommend the big brekky with eggs your way. Good amount of parking. Location is out of the way, but worth the trip. Will be back.

Wonderful store. Food choices were excellent. Very polite staff who went over and above with their service, sending a little note saying Happy birthday to my daughter.

Haven’t physically visited the cafe yet for a sit down meal thanks to lockdown. But have ordered food from here three days in a row! Can’t be faulted!

Always amazing food and service!! Our favourite place to come!! Service is always prefect and food is amazing!! The fried chicken is to die for!

The owner was really friendly and we enjoyed our breakfast very much. The big breakfast certainly lived up to its name. We will be back again!

Awesome Bahn Mi and coffee and even better its open Sundays very friendly staff

Amazing coffee, super friendly staff with great service. And the banh mi is one of the best in Melbourne. Can’t recommend enough More

This cafe has become our brekkie go to. Nothing is too much trouble, service is outstanding and never had a bad meal. Love it !! More

Excellent food and very friendly service. Highly reccommend the smashed avo. By far the best coffee in the area.

We love this little hidden cafe for a quick breakfast. Staff are really fast and friendly. Service is very good.

Great place, food was awesome and everyone is super friendly!!!

Bánh mì pork wrap was amazing

Great staff. Good coffee.
