I can't say enough good things about Qubed,First off, it's incredibly pet-friendly—they even had a water bowl ready for my dog as soon as we walked in, which made the whole experience so stress-free. The staff here are absolute gems—warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help with anything from menu recommendations to adjusting an order. Their service is top-notch too; drinks arrived quickly, and they checked in just enough to make sure we were comfortable without being intrusive. And let's talk portions—whether it's their hearty sandwiches or generous slices of cake, you definitely won't leave hungry. It's become my go-to spot, and I can't wait to bring my pup back again soon!

One of the best coffee experiences I’ve had in New Zealand! The flat white here is exceptionally smooth and flavorful—better than many I’ve tried in Melbourne. The café’s environment is bright, clean, and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax. Their eggs Benedict is absolutely delicious, with perfectly poached eggs and a rich, creamy hollandaise sauce. The fried chicken is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. You can tell the ingredients are incredibly fresh, which makes every bite even more enjoyable. To top it off, the staff are super friendly and attentive, adding to the overall fantastic experience. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for great coffee and food!

Highly recommend this place for breakfast and a coffee! Was very tasty and cooked to perfection! Great coffee too be had. They offer a full menu BUT also have a very large cabinet offering too, with cakes, slices, pastries and other yummy looking food! There's plenty of parking free of charge. There is a playground with a huge field for kids to run around whilst you watch them safely as they play from inside and also outside as they offer tables outside too. This cafe is also dog friendly and offer a dog treat to any fur child also attending!
