Phenomenal food / coffee / service. Excellent location, plenty of good seating spots. Our food was delicious, served quickly, so we would highly recommend this to anyone. :)

We had a staff Christmas lunch and I needed a venue close to my hotel. The Boatbuilders Yard is perfectly located. Atmosphere is great. Decor adds to the location. Staff was friendly and polite. Service was spot on quick. Food was delicious and had good flavor. Definitely will visit again. I can highly recommend.

Firstly, I love cafes that now use the table QR codes. It makes it so much easier to look at the menu, order and pay through your personal phone at your own leisure without bothering the waitresses. This place is great to stop by and have a coffee in the morning on your way to wherever you are going. Peaceful spot to sit by the water and good for some people watching for everyone who walks past. The fruit toast in this photo was fresh and crispy just the way you want toast to be. Definitely a place to stop again 👍🏻 $16 for fruit toast and iced coffee.

Me and my dad had a lovely time here. I ordered "American Super Salad" while my dad ordered some calamari and chips. The food, ambience, and the service were really top-notch.

Stopped for a late breakfast, and finished with some drinks. Food is superb and great value. Really good service and great location. There's plenty of inside and outside seating, and being able to order directly at the table is an added bonus. We aren't local to Melbourne, but seems to be our go to as we have been there regularly when visiting.
