AI Summary

Laneway CBD cafe famed for Eggs Jackie Chan, hearty soups and a pay-it-forward meal scheme

Cosy, bustling laneway cafe with a classic Melbourne feel, tight seating, warm table service and a friendly, chatty buzz at peak times.

Pay-it-forward scheme where diners add a small donation to fund soup for people in need; house-roasted coffee beans sold to take home; menu alterations accommodated; fresh juices, wine and cocktails alongside breakfast.

Family-operated Melbourne laneway cafe with an Aussie-fusion menu; the pay-it-forward ethos is a genuine part of its identity.

Generous plates and reliable coffee at fair CBD prices, with several reviewers calling it great value; a few find fries and burgers on the pricier side.
