So delicious - Edit
I wanted to try everything on the menu here, it’s so hard to pick! Generous portions, cute interior and friendly staff. There was a consistent queue of customers so it’s clearly a popular spot! They also do sweets and pastries. I had the schnitzel sandwich which was so delicious. A must visit spot in Melbourne!

Amazing vegan cafe! - Edit
I honestly regret not finding this place sooner.
Read moreThe shop is cozy, warm, and kept very clean, making it a truly comfortable place to be. I loved the sandwich I ordered—the choice of ingredients and the balance were perfect. 💮
I also got a blueberry crumble muffin to go. I kept it in the fridge and had it the next morning, and it was the best breakfast ever! This has easily become my #1 favorite vegan cafe. 👑

Well, there goes my waistline! - Edit
A cosy and welcoming cafe with an abundance of vegan comfort food to binge. Really yummy, but not a health food cafe. I fear my waistline is going to be hit hard because I will keep coming back. Great, friendly service.

Hangover heaven - Edit
Best hangover food bar none, and the main reason I can’t quit food delivery. The B&E has brought me back to life on several occasions and the truffle oil fries are a treat. I wouldn’t bother with the sausage rolls etc but the desserts are good too.

INCREDIBLE! Above and beyond, and delicious. - Edit
As the name of this review would suggest, this place is frikken amazing! We’ve been meaning to try this spot as it’s opened up just up the road from us not too long ago. Anyways, still haven’t gone in but we did in fact decide to order in this morning (because we are incredibly hungover and will not be leaving the apartment today lol) and oh my flippin gosh it is good. The sammiches, the quality of food, how excellently it travels… amazing. What really tops it off though is that my partner has a very unfortunate soy allergy and mentioned it in the comments on the delivery app. These homies went above and beyond and with the extra time they had in their morning made a soyless eggplant schnitzel just for her so she could enjoy their product! They even included a very, VERY cute note explaining what they did and how they wanted to always try and be accommodating as possible when they can.
Read moreWe will be going back here again and again, and we can’t wait to pop in and say howdy for reals.
Edit a year later:
Pickles still continues to innovate and make the greatest sandwiches in Melbourne. My partner and I eat here about once a week, and have been addicted to pickles ever since posting this original review.

It’s so welcoming here, with a decent selection of sandwiches, pies and pastry. Lots of drinks kinds in the fridge. Highlight is the thickest chocolate thick shake I’ve ever had.

Walked an hour each way to get here and I’d do it again - Edit
It was really busy when I got here and I can see why. A great mix of different things to buy here from cakes, pies, sandwiches, shakes and more. I had the chicken shawarma with a raspberry cream sponge. Gotta be the best I’ve had of either. Definitely coming back here to tick off more of their menu.
