humble rays

we ordered the eggs benny, the coco waffle and the french toast
the french toast had nothing spectacular to it apart from it looking very pretty on the plate
the coco waffle was a big miss, the ice cream didn’t taste right the waffle was crewy and it was not presentable on the plate. both the ice cream on the french toast and the waffle was off
the egg benny is the only thing that i would recommend, slightly above average, the pork was delicious but no bread which was interesting

food - ordered monkey business and egg white/bacon. both good meals especially monkey business.

cons- be prepared to wait in line. very popular place!

would like to go back and try more of the menu :)

4.5 humble rays is a popular vibrant cafe located just pass the cbd grid in carlton. expect a queue if you’re visiting during brunch time but the line will eventually subside. the interior is bright with cheerful decor that’s inviting on a nice sunny afternoon. the menu covers the basics like eggs on toast to more creative items like belly dancing.

best hojicha latte i’ve ever had! food was great but not mind-blowing enough to wait for an hour for. also, our meal didn’t really end on a pleasant note as the staff rushed to remove our plates even when we were still chewing on the last bites of our food.

quite a nice cafe in the area but it took so long to get a table and even had to wait ages to get the food. probably total 90 mins wait time which is not ideal. the food is quite nice and plating is really aesthetic but not really worth waiting that long for.
we got the skookie to share- this was soooooo sweet and we couldn’t taste much red velvet unfortunately. the salmon was cooked perfectly and everything was super fresh!

great coffee! smooth, strong and good flavour. the cafe is bright, spacious and has an inviting feel.

long line outside this cafe after 2.00pm can mean either of the two: overrated and over hyped or amazing and in most cases it's the former but humble rays fall under the 'amazing' bracket.

all the elements within the dishes, coffee, hot chocolate, pricing, hospitality was amazing. it would be totally unfair to dissect our experience in words that would fall short.

vegan and vegetarian options ain't too many but shouldn't stop you from not going.

visited here for its good reputations, very popular place, the sitting were bit crowded, the plating were quite nice, however dose not taste as good as it look, and the coffee and the service were very average.

second time coming here, lined up for about 7 minutes. first time was a year and half ago. had the crab omelette and remembered that this dish needed to come to sydney. second time coming back i tried the recommended pork belly. also had a chance to meet the thai chef lady who came up with the dishes. lovely presentation, my pork belly was cooked really nice but the pork belly skin could have been crispier. will definitely come again to try something else !!!!

every time i visit melbourne i always make a stop at humble rays for the best eggs i've ever had - crab meat scrambles. it comes on a buttery flakey croissant and garnished with crunchy deep fried shallots and chilli that tantalises your taste buds. the hero of the dish is the fluffy eggs that is cooked perfectly with a soft and velvety texture. theres generous amounts of crab meat spread through out the scramble. you can taste the sweetness and the freshness of the crab meat which is well balanced with the other elements of the dish and not overpowering the rich buttery and egginess of the scramble. the saracha mayo is perfect for those who enjoy a little spicy kick. you won't want to stop after tasting your first mouthful! luckily the very generous portions will leave you happily satisfied.

always been a personal favourite, and extremely popular among friends. so if you're looking for undoubtable brunch experience, this is it.

the newest favourite is their mushroom on toast 
their all-time mvp is the crabmeat scramble [ note that it's best to book for reservations during peak brunch hours, and their menu changes every few months ]

one of the best brunch places in melbourne! the staff are extremely nice, the vibe is so social and amazing!! this time, i got the white chocolate panna cotta with granola! so delicous!! the panna cotta was set perfectly and the granola was nice as well! definitely recommend!

best brunch i have ever had in my life, not kidding. so we line there for a bit long time about 40 minutes, but it actually worth! we ordered one and .
🦀 for the the croissant is crispy and crunchy, the scrambled egg in there is soft, the crab meat is real, and there are a lot i can say. the sauce on the dish taste like something “curry mustard” sauce. one of that was bit spicy, one of that sauce was ok, you can chose the flavour you like to dip with.
🍓 for the the name sounds pretty already, when the dish come up i just want to say “omg!”. it was two layers of french toast with cream cheese in the middle, on the top there is one huge ice-cream and decorated with white fairy floss. there are several of berries and fruit on the side, looks health and tasty. actually tasty😆

[for drink] we ordered and .
taste like the good latte which we normally drink.
is a type of japanese tea with milk, so kinds of a “milk tea”. taste sweet but not that sweet... i know that’s conflict but i don’t know what else to say. oh tasty, right!

so this meal i can say is the besttttttt brunch i have in melbourne!
😍 love it

visited the cafe after a year and ordered a different dish - breakfast bowl and it tasted good! a very healthy option 👍🏻

got lucky got us a table during peak hour. we ordered egg benny and crab meat scramble. we’re pretty impressed by the taste with really good presentation. but there is one thing, while j was chewing her food the waitress rushed to clear out the plate, i mean just chill we’re not even done enjoying our food here.
