Came across this quaint cafe as we passed through. The energy from the staff was light and welcoming. The food we had - not a crumb left on either plate. The patrons engaged in comfortable conversation and the music playlist was desired by my children. Will definitely be returning when we revisit Melbourne.

I've been to hundreds of cafes across the globe, and I can say that Hummingbird is a special one. The food, the atmosphere, the vibe, and the service, everything is top notch. I was with my family and a friend's family. Even the fussy kids finished their meals. :) We're already talking about visiting them again. Lamb souvlaki toastie, the big brekky, the mushroom toast, the fish bowl, the bagel with egg and bacon and the chips: everything was perfectly cooked and very well presented. Coffees and teas were great. Staff are polite, friendly and professional. There are plenty of tables inside and a few outside. Parking is available on the street.

My new favorite (warm) Cafe in my 'hood. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, always with a smile. Coffee is great, not overly priced like other local cafes for my soy preference. Food is fabulous too. Highly recommend
