Awesome local cafe very busy for its size and location (extra parking available out back). Definitely a gem! The Sri Lankan Egg Hopper packs a good punch and has an excellent mix of spice, textures and flavors. The Aussie Smash was well balanced with hearty vegies and the San pedro was simple but tasty. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Coffees are strong and made well to order. Will be back again A++!! Loved it!

We ordered egg and bacon panini and chilli scramble. The panini was not bad, but the chilli scramble was bland, it comes with pancake but it didn’t go well with the dish.

I like the theme of this cute café and the food is great! This shop features a traveling theme, where you can see a lot of icons of traveling, like clocks of different capital cities and world map.The food is tasty and well prepared. We ordered English breakfast and the burger, and ended up with a Japanese soufflé. Dishes came very quickly and we started to dig it in and forgot to take photo. I called it a “photo forgetting” meal.

The product was really average, the chicken breast was fried black, and the result could not be changed if I asked for it. I changed the smoked salmon for extra money. Omelette fried eggs were very old and tasted bad.

Travelling banditThis area of North Balwyn, it’s Greythorn really, strikes me as needing a bit of a lift, foodwise at least. Travelling Bandit looked like comfortably the best cafe option on a scan of both sides of this shopping strip (although I later spotted the Jolly Miller which is in a more secluded area off the road). The cafe has street appeal then and its moderately attractive inside too and almost cute. It also has very nice front and back open areas. Most importantly, the coffee is very good here. They serve a perfectly respectable brew that would be easily at home in any of the more fancied areas. The menu is said to be good too, I understand. The cafe was doing an acceptably good trade among all age groups while I was there. The staff dealt with the custom politely and efficiently. There was a hits mix on that was mainly 80s. It was inoffensive and quite pleasant after a while.Nice place overall. A terrific option if you’re in this area. I’d happily return another time.

What a little gem of a Cafe! We enjoyed a Sunday lunch here. The service from all of the staff was very friendly and efficient. The food was really great, all of our meals were delicious. Mine was exceptionally good - a Persian chicken dish - the meat was so tender, it fell off the bones. I forgot to say when I ordered my meal that I don't eat onion and my side salad was promptly replaced with a fresh salad, onion free. No fuss.I complimented the chef on her dish and was able to have a short chat with her.I discovered from that chat that the Persian dishes are changed every few days. I can't wait to go back and try another dish!The coffee was good, the prices were very reasonable. I think I've found a new favourite venue.

We have been visiting this cafe for many years with our family. There was a recent change of ownership and to our surprise this cafe has become even better. The food and service is fantastic. The new chef is amazing and the staff are just wonderful. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Andrew pours a beautiful coffee, we just can’t go anywhere else. Very hardworking and positive vibe. The food and service are great, I highly recommend trying the Travelling Bandit!!!!
