Manfriend had been wanting to check True North out for ages, so went along for breakfast. Super warm service as soon as you step in the door - kinda feels like I'm in someone's house. Eclectic set up, with the walls and shelves covered in weird and wonderful Latin-esque paraphernalia. Went for a breakfast quesadilla, not great but maybe I had food envy over the Alamo that Manfriend ordered. He also enjoyed the vast selection of hot sauces - I've never seen such concentration over a condiment selection! Will come back and try again, just wasn't what I felt like on the day.

The service was VERY friendly and EXTREMELY SLOW! The coffee was SOUR. Yes! SOUR! The "Blueberry" bagel tasted like butter and garlic. The poached eggs on toast were good, but not worth going there for.

There are a couple of reviews that state that the service is slow. It is quite slow, but the staff members are friendly when they finally get there.The food was tasty. They can veganise almost all the dishes on the menu.The Peachy Pancakes were some of the best I have had in a very long time. Big vegan win!Coffee is Melbourne coffee worthy. Bit pricey, but great spot for veg/non-veg catch-ups.

We came here for the first time in years (visiting Melbourne), I loved the hash smash and my wife always orders the Reuben. It was as great as we remembered.
