Bicycle Thieves Cafe Northcote

I’ve wanted to go back to Bicycle Thieves cafe since I first saw the Breakfast ramen. So off we went!<br/ <br/ My partner and I had a strong almond latte each and they were both really tasty. Ok we are off to a great start here. <br/ <br/ The service was excellent, friendly and the food came out really quick. My breakfast ramen had pork belly, shiitake mushrooms, chilli pangritata, a poached soft egg, boo choy, spring onion, ramen noodles, ramen noodles. Everything was soo tasty, the broth was delicious and the pork belly soft and juicy. I absolutely loved this dish!!<br/ <br/ My partner had some crispy potato Rösti, smoked salmon, avocado, herb Creme friache, 2 poached eggs and pickled onion. This dish disappeared in what appeared to be seconds so there was no doubt it was yummy hahaha.<br/ <br/ This cafe is still awesome and definitely worth a visit!<br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ Early 2019<br/ I was fortunate enough to be invited to visit Bicycle Thieves for brunch. Walking into this cafe is was packed which was a great sign, especially given the amount of cafes along High St.<br/ <br/ This is a large contemporary cafe with neutral colours and it's modern industrial. With wheelchair access this place is accessible and there is ample street parking. With communal tables, single seating and tables for 2 this place caters for everyone. <br/ <br/ I ordered a chicken burger which came with a potato bun, which was soft and light. The burger was served w crispy chips and a crispy lettuce salad to balance the heat ... phew hahaha <br/ <br/ My partner ordered chilli scrambled which was delicious and the eggs were fluffy and the spice was initially mild but it certainly crept up on you. Yummo<br/ <br/ The crowd was really mixed w people of all ages and the Dukes espresso coffee has a nice earthy flavour <br/ <br/ This is definitely one place to visit!

The aesthetics vibe of this place was great, the menu was exciting and coffee was on the money, unfortunately I have to say the waitress serving us was really rude which was a bummer. The food was good, the egg white omelette had tons of flavour and the pulled pork was delish. Overall worth visiting.

Busy place. Service was very efficient despite how busy it was, coffee was great. Food was a bit of a let down, had the schnitzel?, or something. It was pretty bland, despite looking great. It might seem harsh to judge on just the one meal. Would return to try other things.

Great local cafe to hang out with friendly service. We tried the Vietnamese salad that came with a generous portion of chicken and was tasty. The coffee was good.

First time today and we will be back. The best breakfast we’ve had in a long time. High quality and very generous servings. Cauliflower fritters were unbelievable as was the egg white and salmon omelette. Coffee was perfect temp. Staff fantastic. Ambience great. Couldn’t fault a thing. Packed out which is expected with this high quality cafe. Sorry there’s no photos but it was just so good we didn’t have time for a photo!
