I do not recommend going here. The food is nice but honestly nothing special. We made a booking for lunch and were made to wait by the entrance for an hour before being seated. No offer to provide us with drinks, nothing. When asking the staff how much longer the wait would be, they refused to help and mentioned the name of someone who would be apparently waiting on us today. As if we’d know the other person (by the name) to redirect our question? When we were seated, the food took almost an hour to arrive (including cold drinks) and we waited just as long for our desserts that never arrived and decided to leave. No apology. Will not be returning.

The got plenty empty seats , and close at 4pm. We arrived at 3.10pm, lining up and waiting to be seated .There was a group of 6 people right in front of us and they had them seated. We clearly heard the staff told them the kitchen would be closing at 3:45pm, the last order by 3:30pm. While when it’s our turn (around 3:15pm), we were told that we could not be seated at dining area and can only order cake and coffee from the counter. We wonder why we were treated differently without a proper reason.

Good portion sizes of very tasty food and quite an extensive variety of foods available. This cafe is busy, but somehow retains a cosy atmosphere and our group were still able to hear each other converse, despite the full house. Booth was comfortable and roomy.Staff service was a major highlight- our waiter was thorough and considerate and checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying the experience.

We always drove past the restaurant and wondered how good it must be to be so busy. So we finally booked a table on a Sunday for brunch. I ordered the Cheeky Benedict, the Food Republic and Omelette to share with my partner. Our plates came with a generous serving of bacon and enough portions of each item to balance the meal. It was wholesome, refreshing and filling all at the same time. The menu has a great selection that feels familiar but has it's own character. The service was great too! So glad we decided to check this place out! We'll definitely be back again!

The Food Republic Cafe is a must try! Offering the best selection of brunch and lunch in Blackburn with an equal selection of hot and cold beverages. Coffee is great and complimentary to the food. Highly recommended.

Good coffee and great service. There are a lot of seats both inside and outside the cafe. I was asked my choice of seating before placing my order. I ordered a latte which promptly arrived. I spent more than an hour and was asked if I was okay as I was focused on something. I was offered water to make sure I was okay. I will visit the place again if I get the chance. Thanks.

Great location and space, loved their outdoor seating. Food was good but nothing to rave about and a little pricey for what it is.
