THE BEST!!!

One of our best experiences in Australia was at Union Kiosk! We ordered the tofu scrambe jaffle, the pepperoni mac n cheese jaffle, and a (very large) almond milk mocha with vegan marshmallows. Not only was the food truly fantastic - came out quickly and full of flavor, but the staff was the friendliest ever! Even by Australian standards, which is quite friendly to begin with. You can't help but immediately be in a good mood when you stop by Union Kiosk. MUST VISIT!

Nice spot to have breakfast

They make good espresso, and the jaffles are tasty. It's in a quiet laneway, which makes it a nice spot to relax and have breakfast when in the city

Pros: Great coffee, The jaffles are delicious, In a quiet laneway in the CBD

Best jaffles ever!

Huge selection of delicious savoury jaffles, with some sweet options too. They also serve a small selection of sweet treats.

Great coffee and delicious hot chocolates too.

Amazing customer service. Staff are all so cheerful, friendly and efficient.

Edit: I visited here everyday on my four day trip to Melbourne and just couldn’t get enough of the place.

Yummmmy Jaffles

Not sure why I waited as long as I did to visit, perhaps I normally am not that excited by jaffles perhaps? none the less, I was glad I finally went. There were so many great options on the menu, and I narrowed it down to two, couldn't decide so I bought both thinking I should be able to finish it. The size of each jaffle is larger that what I imagined. They don't use normal sized white sliced bread. 1 would have been a good amount, and I'll know for next time!

The chicken, yay feta and spinach is their best seller, and i loved it. The bread crunchy on the outside, fillings plentiful and flavourful, just like any good jaffle should be.

The tofu scramble, ham, cheese and hollandaise was equally good, but I had a slight preference for the chicken version.

The staff were pleasant to deal with and the jaffles didn't take too long to come out even though I was there at lunchtime.

Looking forward to going back and trying the others, the pepperoni mac n cheese I think will do just nicely!

Pros: Price, Choice, Food quality

Cons: Nada

Amazing!

This was such a good find! Plenty of choice in jaffles and pastries. Will be back next time I'm in Melbourne 😊

Add - we came back again for a second time (from Adelaide) and it was just as good. Staff are super friendly and food amazing.

Yummy yum yum

What a gorgeous little place in an arcade that seems to be a ghost town. I got a Soy latte that was 10 out of 10!!! I also got the bolog, mozz and garlic butter jaffle. To take home I got a coconut cupcake and almond croissant.

Toastie Masters

Jan 2023
First time visiting the new expanded space (since before 2020) and was happy to note there is plenty of seating without being cramped in together. I had the spicy meatball special which was good but a touch rich for me. Washed it down with an iced latte. Service was super quick today!

Second Visit:
I decided to revisit during non-peak times and had a toastie and chai in my hot little hands within 10 mins; much better! They really do know how to make a tasty toastie!

First visit:
The toasties were really very good but 40 mins is just too long to stand around waiting. Unfortunately the size of the cooking area just doesn't allow for a reasonable turnaround time. Avoiding at peak times is recommended.

Bloody delicious!

I used to eat ham cheese tomato toasties when I was younger and haven't had many since becoming vegan. I ordered one here and the nostalgia was awesome! My husband loved the chikn spinach and feta toastie too. Coffee is great too!
Sorry, we ate it all before taking any photos.

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!

All vegan, all good, all the time

I was disappointed to find so many vegan places closed on Sunday in the CBD, so the all vegan jaffle shop was an extra delight.

Had the bolognaise jaffle and a kimchi Korean beef jaffle. Both were amazing with such deep flavour. I was particularly excited by the Korean jaffle as I think Gochujamg toasties are underrated

I had a ham, cheese and tom toastie and a coffee to takeaway as it was super busy. Coffee was really good! And the toastie was so good, I've left Melbourne now but when I come back I will try more flavors! Definitely come here if you get the chance

Pros: Great coffee, Quick, efficient service, Lots of options

Comforting breakfast and delicious coffee

The kiosk is in a small alley, it has a very cosy vibe and the staff is really nice and gave me recommendations. I had the tofu scramble, ham, cheese and hollandaise jaffle and a big warm cup of coffee. It was a very pleasant breakfast experience, it's very affordable and the cafe is zero waste! The amount of choice and the variety of jaffles they propose is awesome, there's something for everyone. There's also a little cabinet with sweets. Highly recommend!
