First time visiting St Ivy’s today. This local cafe is nestled overlooking the mill park lakes. It’s obviously a very popular destination with the locals as it was very busy. Today’s brunch was the vegetarian breakfast which is a very generous serving of oven roasted cherry tomatoes, spinach , mushrooms, poached eggs and a small side of mashed avocado all served in two large slices of pane Di casa and the chili scrambled eggs on 2 slices of pane Di casa with a side of bacon. Everything was well cooked, and served quickly. The coffee is piping hot and delicious. Look forward to visiting again when the weather is much more conducive to a walk around the lakes!

After reading the positive reviews, I headed down to the cafe with my daughter. We ordered the Eggs Benedict on sourdough, scrambled eggs in a bagel and a cup of piping hot flat white coffee The sourdough was really soft, tender and not overpowering, while the Ben was done perfectly and pared extremely well with the ham and sauce. The scrambled eggs in the bagel was also sumptuous. The flat white coffee is probably the best that I have ever had, and it was piping hot. Service at the cafe was also excellent. Definitely worth repeat visits.

St Ivy is busy for good reason! The staff are helpful and friendly, plus the food is delicious. Definitely one of the best cafes in the area. Coffee is always excellent and the food delicious. There are also gluten free options, which is great. Today I ordered the chilli scrambled eggs (I added a side of bacon bc I was hungry!) with an almond milk latte. A great place to relax or catch up with friends, they’ve decorated the cafe nicely also.

I am a regular customer i often get take away coffee. I love the place delicious food and beautiful atmosphere but last my two orders i have been trying to order chips with my coffee so unfortunately a blonde lady who is at the cashier she was so rude she said no anything else when i order chips?i though they don’t serve chips at that time but later when i checked the menu it says there lunch after 11.30 and i was there 12.38 she didn’t serve me chips and just said no and gave my coffee. She was so rude i want to know any reason they do that to regular customer. I am so disappointed.

Ever since Miss V Espresso was sold, this has been my go to cafe for a couple years now. I come here to study or have occasional brunch, the staff know all the locals and seeing them converse and joke around makes me smile and makes it feel more homey. I don't remember his name but there was a male waiter that loved my sketches and helped me through a minor anxiety attack at the cafe, i just want to say thank you and i hope ill see you again in the mornings! The food is fresh and delicious and the coffee is always very tasty with friendly staff always making sure everythings right.

I have visited this cafe every so often for over 15 years and this is the best experience I’ve had so far - it definitely deserved a review. We ordered various breakfast meals yesterday and all were so good! The brekkie bagel and American waffles were delish as was the avo smash but the stand out by far was the rosti stack, 10/10 amazing! Very impressed with our experience including friendly staff, prompt service and overall good atmosphere, thanks St Ivy team!

Stunning cafe nestled in South Morang. The decor is bursting with tropical plants, and the service is exceptional. The food was perfection, and just as good as expensive cafes, with the added benefit of modest prices. We ordered the Eggs Benedict and Breakfast Bagel, both of which were scrumptious. The coffee was top notch too, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t enjoy coffee. This will definitely be our go to from now on!

Wow! That was my reaction when I had my first sip of the coffee. I had a free morning so I thought I'd just choose somewhere different to grab a morning coffee, so I went for a drive out. The coffee was great so ill definitely be back again, and to try the food which I unfortunately didn't have time to. Update: have been back several times, and their hamburgers are absolutely amazing, it's worth the 20 mins drive from home to have great food.

We found this place a few months ago and it’s now our ‘go to venue’ for a cheeky meal! The staff are lovely and very tentative, the food is cooked perfectly and the portion sizes are very generous! We’ve taken friends and family here and everyone has loved it! Great food, great service, great venue & vibes!’

I visited St Ivy Cafe not too long ago for breakfast with a couple of friends. We were immediately seated by a friendly waitress and given menus. Lovely little cafe with great service. I ordered the Eggs Benni with a freshly squeezed orange juice - both were delicious It was the first time I had tried St Ivy’s despite me only living 3 minutes away, so I will definitely be back soon for more!

A lovely cafe booked for a relaxed mothers day lunch. We all enjoyed surprisingly high quality andvdelicious food. The Cafe is positioned right beside a lovely lake, which has a pram friendly walking path and very friendly ducks to entertain the little ones. Easy parking, friendly staff. Alcohol available and good coffee too. A high chair was provided for bubs. Definitely 5 star for a casual Cafe. We'll be going back.

  • Mark Balkis

Cafe is good and the concept is great. Having a Cafe near the lake is a great idea! Unfortunately the service from the staff is what brought this review to 4 stars, especially the younger lady who couldn't put much of a smile or conversation while serving us. Otherwise, food and coffee is good. Great to see more of these trendy businesses open local to South Morang. Here's hoping they improve with time.

  • Robert Aziz

Great service, very friendly & approachable employees, food is very nice. The coffee can improve but it will be good enough for most people.

How lucky we are to have this fabulous cafe, in the heart of South Morang (that isn’t inside a shopping mall). Food is exceptional, prices are very reasonable, service is attentive and you can walk off breakfast at the lake opposite.
