Mietta's Review
The Fitzroy Post Office and Jean Jacques' Toy Museum are now but memories. They've been replaced by this big slick modern cafeteria cum cafe. It dispenses lots of well-priced cafe food from breakfast untill dusk.
Other published opinions
Herald Sun Cafe Culture Donna Coutts 12/7/05 score 12/20 "Run-of-the-mill food in a great building. Extremely friendly but haphazard, slow service. The staff are really trying, so give it a go if you're local. You may have better luck than us."
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "AN ornate wallpaper of chocolate brown and white has transformed this grand Victorian-era post office into a cavernous cafeteria. Although the gleaming interior is slightly incongruous on gritty Smith Street"
The Age Cheap Eats 2004 "THE Victorian-era post office turned Australian Toy Museum has morphed again into a designer cafeteria. With polished floorboards and varnished concrete, it's surprisingly slick for a place with such wellpriced, no-frills food."
The Age, Sunday Life, 14/12/03, Roslyn Grundy,'Wallpaper and polished boards have turned this Victorian post office into a keenly priced cafeteria.Glass cases might display chunky sausage rolls, baguettes and an array of cakes, plus blackboard specials.'
