The Streat Reviews

Loved this place for breakfast. Shining example of social enterprise.

Good food and really nice setting. Price reasonable given quality of food and venue

Great coffee, great staff, food is excellent. We love the outside area for the dogs and kids to play in the morning.

Get the son in law eggs for breakfast!

Their pastries and coffee are amazing! I also had lunch with my team while staying for a full day workshop upstairs. It was extremely tasty and hospitable

Awesome place with great aesthetics, excellent coffee and service - it's got it all baby!

This place uses top-tier ingredients. Great food, great coffee, great service, great everything.

Im gonna rate it a 5 lot of time and effort gone into converting this old building the food and service is fantastic and reasonably priced

We came for a sunny brunch on the outside decking area and had their halloumi beet special and a batch brew, what a treat! I'll be back :D

STREAT live up to their ethos of tastes good does good in every sense of word.

They have done a wonderful job on both social catch-ups and business functions hosted there.

Care is taken in every single step of their process to produce high quality food (and even coffee pods) and they use the proceeds to give local youths who have nothing else but an inner fire to succeed a fighting chance with their internship program.

Plus they are outstandingly eco friendly!

Great fresh food all day with many vegetarian choices, all beautifully plated and served by friendly helpful staff. The setting is really lovely with indoor and outdoor areas displaying lots of plants which work so well whatever the season. All-day breakfast and lunch offerings mean noone should miss out on something delicious. The coffee is excellent, due to the in-house Roastery. Don't leave without buying some bread, baked onsite & very good too. Streat is a wonderful example of a successful business based on providing training, employment & support for homeless people, whilst aiming at highest quality in everything they do. One of my favourite places which never lets me down.

Asked if I could have vanilla in my latte. The guy said "no, we care too much about our coffee here". Needless to say, I won't be returning.

The menu was very nice and the drinks were great too. Unfortunately they forgot our food order but they gave us some free drinks and croissants once they realised. As nice as any brunch you'll find in Melbourne and for a good cause!!

Fantastic meals, warm staff and welcoming atmosphere.

Phenomenal coffee everytime. The service is always brilliant.

Great Breakfast in a nice and quiet location in Collingwood with outdoor seating available.

Really neat place with a great message. Breakfast menu was not to our preference, but location was beautiful and staff were very friendly. Would definitely return for coffee or tea.

This is a favourite coffee shop of mine as it is a nice green escape in industrial Collingwood. The brunch meals I have tried are both generous and delicious. To top it all off, the service is attentive and it is a social enterprise doing great work in the community.

Tasty food and excellent service at affordable prices. More than simply a cafe/restaurant it puts a great deal of effort into its community project. They deserve our support & you won't be disappointed.

Love the space, caters for everything. I needed to do a Skype Interview today, and the staff was able to find me a quiet spot to do that efficiently.

The best coffee and always in season menu. Great pastry!

STREAT catered for our event and was wonderful. We were organising very last minute and they were so flexible. Their food was delicious and I would recommend to anyone.

Cromwell Streat cafe is located in the Cromwell street which is not the main street in the Collingwood area. The location wise is quite hidden and it will be difficult to find it if you are not familiar in this area.

The interior was really well designed, many plants which make it more comfortable to have breakfast and coffee in the morning. The ambience was very comfortable and relax; The music wasn't too loud also the customer service was great and friendly.

Ordered take away coffee from this cafe *mocha for $3.80. The price for a coffee is slightly cheaper than average brunch places. The quality / taste of the coffee was really great, it was a good deal.
We really enjoyed having coffee in this cafe; They were pretty generous to provide free bread tasting in the small cup close to the counter and the bread (sourdough) was fresh.

They offer a loyalty card for coffee lovers, when you have collected 5 stamps, you can claim a free coffee to give it away to community (homeless people) which is great thing to do.

Definitely come back to try the breakfast / lunch.

Service : 4.5
Speed : 3.5
Taste : 4.0
Price : 3.5

Yay : Coffee was great, free bread tasting near the counter, ambience was fantastic
Nay : N/A

I'm a Tradie and this was the best lunch I've ever had. I got the Loaf sandwich

Awesome atmosphere, has a great outdoor area nested in the industrial area of Collingwood. I felt the brunch/lunch menu better then there breakfest options.

Best eggs on toast I've ever had, and my partner said the same about the almond crossaint. Nice relaxed vibe and love all the plants. Fairly anonymous looking from the street so keep your eyes peeled.

Nice cafe, good coffee's, lots of room, lunch and snack options.

Eating here helps support a great cause. Baked goods are made daily on site. Excellent customer service.

Beautifully designed and fitted cafe with an interesting and tasty menu. Lovely and professional staff. Organisation helps disadvantaged youth. What more could you want?

Grab a table in the courtyard for sure! It s such a nice getaway from the more industrial streets in this area. The coffee, service & food are all amazing. Highly recommend their granola for breakfast

Awesome setup, pastries are always good, coffee top notch and the staff super friendly.

Amazing venue for inner city location. Breaky was great and staff very friendly. Business concept of helping youth is fantastic. Will be back.

Nice atmosphere doggie friendly . Had the simple breakfast was really good

Dropped by for a coffee and was blown away. Amazing place, great coffee and food and everything. Tucked away down a little side street but suprisingly huge, with some amazing spaces for outdoor dining, conferences, everything really. Well worth a look.

Ever wanted to do good while having a great time - go and enjoy the wonderful food and beverages in an great environment. Make sure you try the onsite roasted coffee and their own bread. You can enjoy all this with the knowledge you are supporting a great organisation that is helping young people who need a hand.

Great coffee, and a great environment. It's so nice to have breakfast with all the veges growing nearby.

I like the relaxing atmosphere and the green plants! Had udon noodles for lunch and it has quite a lot ingredients like meatballs chicken mushroom green beans tofu....Bought an almond croissant and it s very nice. Probably one of the best I ve ever had.
Not cheap but pretty nice place.

Great food, the breakfast sanga is a favorite. Runny yolk

Beautiful shaded courtyard with good breakfast and lunch options.

We go here for a r brunch at least once a month. Staff are always lovely, good is always delicious, and the bloody mary is perfect!

I don't usually cross the river, but when a friend visited town and was set on visiting this restaurant/cafe, I couldn't refuse. I am so glad I came here!

Absolutely brilliant food and atmosphere. Came here for lunch and stayed a bit longer enjoying the drinks and atmosphere.
Service was speedy for drinks and a little slower for food (it was quite busy, even on a weekday). Again, worth the wait!

Parking is a bit of a pain (narrow streets, not a lot of availability) but find something and then take a walk. You won't regret it!

Fantastic Social enterprise coffee shop - the food is excellent

Fabulous out of the way dining experience. Lovely garden atmosphere. Highly recommend

Over the top overrated you ask for pouch eggs and they come out to you cold like if they were hard boiled, fooled me once shame on you, fooled me twice shame on me, not going back for third time of being disappointed

Really friendly team, great atmosphere and delicious food and coffee

Food is okay, tea was very over priced (literally 4 leaves of tea given per glass), and very slow serivice.

Came on a friends recommendation. Did not dissapoint. Great coffee, friendly service, interesting menu and fun breakfast cocktails..... Hot buttered rum!!! Really lovely space, can't wait to come back for lunch!

What a venue and what a place. I had not heard of Streat until Ian Johnson joined our BNI chapter in the CBD. Ian spoke so passionately about where they have come from and what they want to do and I had to get involved. Now I'm a regular at the Collingwood cafe and the RACV cafe. My business has purchased hampers for staff and clients from Streat and all who have been received have been so impressed.
The coffee is world class and the service can not be faulted. I could not recommend this social enterprise highly enough.
Do yourself a favour and go check it out

Nice relaxed ambience, especially good on a warm sunny day. Get a seat outside in the court yard and enjoy the food amidst the plants.

Great coffee, delicious food, cool outdoor sitting area

A great cause produces even greater food and service in a hidden indoor+outdoor gem in an unknown corner of Collingwood.

Amazing food and amazing staff that will make you feel at home

My local regular coffee shop, excellent coffee and lovely dining area.

Food is good but service is very inefficient given the staff to customer ratio. Ordered a chicken baguette and a drink which took longer than expected to arrive given there was no great queue of people ordering before me. Once finished I approached a staff member at a till to pay and was told 'you have to go and line up over there' pointing to a counter where one person was making sandwiches and ignoring the line of customer wanting to pay. When he finally got to me and took the several minutes to figure out where I was sitting I was charged extra because I had dined in. $20 for a sandwich and a drink with slow rude service.

And I'm still hungry.

Coffee was good and the food was good but the service was a bit ordinary. We had to go up to the cash to get their attention so we could order breakfast. They forgot to bring one of the meals over so we had to go up to remind them one was missing, turns out it was just sitting on the counter. We had to go up every time to get more water jugs. When we were fininshed we wanted more drinks and had to go up to get their attention.
It's a lovely location with great potential but maybe today the staff were not on their game. Too social with each other not paying enough attention to the customers.

What a surprise when you enter and find this gigantic place, there is a good vibe here and a comfortable setting. I did think that the food took an age to come but the son in law eggs made up for it. Quite a refreshing take on pouched eggs. Coffee was great too, would rate 4.5 if available.

This place is amazing, great food, brilliant atmosphere.

Good coffee, the tables are a wee bit uncomfortable. I had a dog so I was outside. They may be better inside. I also had a takeaway sausage roll. This was super greasy.

Greta coffee and food offering here.

Hear good things about what they're try to do some it's service staff here. I don't recall full details of what it is. But I'm sure you can look it up on their site.

Lovely spot in Collingwood tucked away with a beautiful courtyard area to site and enjoy the Melbourne sunshine! (when it's out)

Yummy food, great setting, wonderful service and most of all great mission. Love the amount of info about the social enterprise behind the menu. Will be back often!

Gorgeous. A lot of tables in the garden and inside. Even deck chairs.

Staff rude and officious to my wife! Coffee too hot. Will not be back, which is a shame.

Fantastic food, excellent service, beautiful architecture and dog friendly!

Fantastic coffee, friendly staff and a relaxing garden area

Been there a couple of times, tried different dishes from the menu and they are all very nice and delicious. Best of all wonderful coffee.

I like this place and it has a lot of place for a big company. I would say that the menu trying to be very cool and unusual is missing a lot on the taste side. Their coffees and smoothies are always very good, though!

They work for good cause. A non profit organisation which fills light in darkest lives

Really nice coffee, space and service. This social enterprise cafe/bakery/roastery feels like an oasis amidst the industrial warehouse area of Collingwood/Abbotsford. My soy flat white was perfect.

The interior of this place is absolutely stunning. Very friendly staff and food was amazing. Lots of choices to choose from and of course the coffee is great as well. Would recommend!

I ordered Streat Catering for a work lunch, not only was the food delicious and fresh, the service was fantastic. The team were so helpful, and very quick to respond with my queries. Will definitely be using Streat Catering again!! :)

Extremely good coffee and food, plus a generous sized salad! The people working were also super friendly, quick, and seemed to be a very good team.

An amazing crew, doing great work. Always delicious food and coffee!

A lovely venue, with an ambient outdoor garden area as well as an inside spot. The coffee and chai latte were very nice.

Always love it here. Friendly, great food, excellent coffee, an awesome space, doggy friendly!

Coffee is really good but brekky menu can give it a miss.

Great food and coffee.
Amazing social enterprise !

Has become one of my favourite locals.

Beautiful venue, chilled staff who are super friendly . Food is fresh and incredibly delicious. Definitely going back!!

Had a lovely lunch here with a friend, such a great atmosphere that we ended up staying for like 2 hours. The staff here are so kind and considerate of my celiac needs as well, I had scramble eggs on gf toast and it was delish! Coffee was great too! Thanks so much :)

A social enterprise with a killer menu and super helpful staff. Definitely be back here soon.

I visited STREAT having enjoyed their catering before and the restaurant didn't disappoint! The salads were beautifully composed and balanced, and the strawberry prosecco panna cotta verrine for dessert hit the spot perfectly.
