Terrific toasties (or jaffles)!!

Union Kiosk is an amazing toastie (or jaffles) place! A perfect spot for breakfast or lunch! We had the scrambled tofu, ham and cheese and the chicken and feta toastie. Both were perfect and packed with the amazing filling! They also have a wide selection of pastries and deserts. We were able to get a cinnamon scroll (the best of the bunch!), a chocolate croissant, a brownie and others! Definitely check this place out!

Update:
We came back in December 2025 and were so happy (and not at all surprised!) to see that this place is thriving in the CBD! The jaffles were better than we remembered and the staff do such a great job considering they are always so busy!

Nice!

It’s tasty, but it is a bit oily! Pastries were good too

New fave!

Have only ordered through uber eats but so good I’ve ordered twice and plan to again before I leave Melbourne. Tried their veg bolognese, buffalo ‘chicken’, scrambled tofu ham & cheese and their PB choc cookie sandwich so far. Can’t recommend enough!

Perfect melbs spot

Went for a coffee and chocolate croissant before my coach. Glad I went here, the jaffels looked too good so I took one away… good prices and super friendly staff too!

Spoilt for choice

Very cute little cafe which serves a huge range of absolutely delicious jaffles. I've been here many times but still haven't come close to trying all the flavours. Try the Mexican bean one if you come here, it's [censored] good. The coffee is really good too.

Pros: Jaffles are insanely good, Coffee is great, Location is nice

Cons: Some of the staff are a little unfriendly

Breakfast Jaffle

Best sandwich I've ever eaten! Seriously. Didn't know what a jaffle was before this, but I'm a convert now.
It's a small shop and got quick busy for a weekend brunch, but it was worth it

Lovely little place

Pleasant location in a covered laneway, and a delicious hot chocolate. Just jaffles for hot food, but plenty of interesting tasty flavours to choose from.

VEGAN LAMINGTONS

Good coffee, a nice selection of jaffles (ie. toasted sandwiches) but, best of all, they have vegan lamingtons. With jam. I had not eaten a lamington in at least 15 years and was so delighted to find these here and eat one. If you’ve never had a lamington, this won’t necessarily be much of a draw but there are other baked treats as well.

Pros: Delicious food , Friendly staff, Laneway location (great people watching and street

One of the best cafes in melbourne

Had the roasted chicken and feta jaffle, and it was incredible. The Mexican bean one is good too. My fav is the Mac n cheese jaffle.

The cakes and sweets are so fricking good. Took my partner on a date and I bought him two different cakes and he wanted more but I'm poor, so I said no.

Coffee and iced matcha excellent too.

Pros: Yummy jaffles, Excellent customer service, Short wait time

Such a great little place 🌱🥪☕️

The tastiest toastie I’ve ever had. On my first visit I had the spicy vegan beef toastie, with chipotle salsa, jalapeños and cheese. So good 😋 I will be back many times. And have been back many times now. Recently had the special Tofu Chilli Scramble, it was amazing 😋
Most toasties can be gluten free too. And nice vegan snacks/desserts at the counter.

Impeccable

Gosh it was so good. It was just so good. The jaffles were really stacked with ingredients and everything was perfect.

I bought a jaffle, ate it, and then got a 2nd to go

Pros: Amazing

They're busy for a reason

I had the cheeseburger toastie minus the pickle. I never realised a toastie could taste so good. The actual shop is quite small so it was cramped waiting for the food as they are popular which is always nice to see in a vegan establishment.

Nice breakfast

I had the tofu jaffle and a plain croissant, both were tasty. Jaffle could have used more spice but that’s just my personal taste😄very good coffee!

More than a kiosk…

On a five night trip, we first visited Union Kiosk on our penultimate day, thinking that it would have to be a takeaway, only to find they had plenty of seating - despite clearly being very popular with the takeaway crowd!

We loved our cheese, tomato and ham jaffle so much, that we resolved to come back the next day at 8am, so we could try the pepperoni mac jaffle, before heading to the airport. We were not disappointed - wish we had visited earlier!

They also do great pastries, cakes and coffee - their almond croissant was really good and the carrot cake is excellent. Don’t miss out - pay them a visit (or two).
