AI Summary

Ivanhoe cafe famed for its eclectic Foreigner Breakfast, though service has slowed lately.

Cosy, quaint alleyway cafe with a globally-inspired menu unlike standard cafe fare; buzzing atmosphere on busy mornings, though a front glass wall near the door shakes when it opens and the space can get loud with little soundproofing.

Globally-inspired fusion menu (empanadas, Moroccan eggs, Thai burrito), dog-friendly outdoor seating, close to Ivanhoe station, previously a fully halal cafe.

No single-heritage claim; the cafe leans into a global, multicultural menu and was described by one reviewer as having a 'wonderful international staff team.'

Reviewers call portions generous and note menu prices haven't risen in years, but a public holiday surcharge (15%) wasn't clearly advertised for at least one visitor, and a $50 brunch for two drew a disappointed review.
