Volumes

They have the best wedges served with sour cream and sweet chilli! Food is a little pricey but quality is very good!

This place has been a family favorite since it opened (and that was a while a go as I was in high school ;) ) and I have never had a bad experience.

The food is priced very reasonably for where it is and the atmosphere is always great. I quite often forget they sell books also which is good as it is not always easy to find a book shop these days!

We always end up here cause it's a tested cafe and always delivers. They have the best wedges and chips! yummo! and there is always PLENTY to share around which is nice. They are licensed - yayee! have plenty of (albeit dirty and old) high chairs and a $14.95 quiche/frittata or the like with choice of two salads...so that's nice and filling...and it's just a nice atmosphere...

This is the perfect place to hide away for a few hours. It is unfussy, there's plenty of space, the food is fantastic (love the buffet options) and I always associate it with a really pleasant time. I have a thing for the yogurt they use. If anyone knows the brand, let me know!

I was really annoyed when I walked in to get a take away latte and didn't get served. I stood there for almost 10 minutes before a staff member arrived and then started serving someone else who came in after me and was standing at the other end of the counter. I often shop around Eltham and will never ever bother going there again!

Food is ok. Like the fresh juices. They have highchairs. Nice to look at the books and gifts. Sometimes smoke comes in from the smokers on the balcony - yuck!

Volumes is always great food and quick friendly service. I love the book shop and giftware, i would buy everything!

Went in for a coffee and a snack, the place was not busy. Had to wait an excessive time for the coffee to arrive, was served at the same time as another customer at the next table who had ordered his 10 minutes after me. Coffee was lukewarm, and response from staff was unapologetic, never again. Poor service and poor attitude.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it's just a really warm environment. A great place to go for breakfast or brunch.

Great food and gorgeous freshly squeezed orange juice. Only thing...I wasn't a fan of the hash browns. I prefer the traditional kind and these were a little too 'healthy' lentil-esque for me!

I have been visiting Volumes for over 12yrs now and have continued to have great experiences here. From long summery lunches on the balcony to cosy coffees in front of the fire I have always been very happy to come here. The gift shop and book shop make it even better though hard to leave without a purchase!

Good food and coffee, great atmosphere, fantastic gifts and books. Welcome children and there is plenty of room for them.

This bookshop/cafe is the perfect escape. it has a great range of books for kids and adults alike and its gifts are lovely too. the cafe section is great with good food selections and good service.

Great place for a catchup and coffee. The food is lovely and service always with a smile. Atmosphere can be a little noisy but still very nice.

This is a great place for mums groups to come and spend time together. High chairs, colouring books and large tables make it easier to juggle kids and coffees. The outside balcony is great in summer and the fire great in winter!

Lovely cafe located within a bookshop/giftshop that has a good range of books and mid range giftware.

The food is nice with a good range of vegetarian options for lunch - something that is hard to find! Their pancakes are delish.

Really casual, busy, noisy place perfect for families and also has a great book an gift shop attached to it. Food is good value and they always have something interesting in the buffet as well.

What a fantastic place to have a long Sunday breakfast by the fire. After a beautiful big breakfast head out the the book shop and wander through the gift some also. Really nice

I have dined at Volumes on several occasions and am always delighted with the restaurant quality food at cafe prices. You never have to wait long for a hot meal and you can get freshly made juices and yummy desserts. The mural at the back of the cafe is quite amazing and the paintings along the wall change often. It's one of my favourite places to eat mid-week.

This is a lovely cafe in one of Melbourne's most green and beautiful suburbs. The food here is really great, and the atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. The book shop has lots of interesting titles and a few gifts, plus there are some other nice stores sort of attached (like the crystal and aromatherapy shop). They may just make the best milkshakes in Melbourne.

The food and prices are good here. The ambience is great. It's similar to "Borders" here- as you walk in there is a book shop as well as a gift shop, towards the back is the cafe offering delights such as pastries and gourmet meals. The service is ok which seems to be the deal with most places now a days- i don't understand why that is but it just is.

The most defining feature of Volumes is the fact that the cafe doubles as a bookstore, as well as selling other items such as art works and music cds. Overall a rather comfortable and cosy environment, with delicious food and a generally unique dining experience.

This place is unique. It is a bookshop, musicshop and cafe all wrapped up in a beautiful spacious renovated building on the Main street in Eltham. The cafe serves typical cafe fair and great coffee and in the 30+ times I've been there I've never had anything to complain about. It has a great atmosphere and plenty of room. They are also quite kiddy friendly.
