Full Turn Kitchen Bar

"This is not my normal act for bad comments on services and food for a cafe or a restaurant but today’s poor dine in experience with friends has pushed my boundary. In the one hour time frame, two wait staff came to our table more than 5 times asking us for additional orders which we have already our drinks and let them know we will order when we are ready but the two wait staff did not take in what we said and came to us again and again in the short time frame. We felt it was pushy. Then we finally order out meals. The seafood paella tasted horrible. The seafood did not taste fresh. It was not a paella at all. The big pan paella in South Melbourne market tasted way much better than the seafood paella from Full Turn. It was a very good service and tasty food cafe but not anymore. I hope the owner would consider about my comments for improvement. The standard has dropped since after the pandemic."

"My wife and I had lunch here today and it was a very pleasant experience. The cafe has a welcoming atmosphere with very attentive staff. The menu has a nice diversity of choice, and the food was really enjoyable. We shall be back :)"

"Came for lunch and the food was great. Our table ordered the mushroom bruschetta, salt and pepper squid, chai, hot chocolate and coffee. The mushroom bruschetta was delicious and the garlic cream sauce drizzled over the top made the kale more edible for me as I’m usually not a kale fan. Loved the garlic cream sauce! The squid looked fantastic as did the hot chocolate. Looking forward to a return visit!"

"Love this cafe! Good food, good coffee and friendly staff. Love the variety of dishes for breakfast and lunch. All day brekkie which is another winner. Lots of seating indoor and outdoor. Have tried the smashed avo, french toast, Nourish bowl, Green goddess salad and mushroom bruschetta, and would recommend all, with the smashed avo being my favourite. They also have a great take away selection, like slices, muffins and jaffles."

"Not being a local, it took me at least an hour to chose a cafè in the area that looked like they did an acceptable eggs benny. We decided on Full Turn on a whim due to their menu suiting our preferences more than the other places around where we are staying for the weekend and were pleasantly surprised at what we found. The first thing you notice is how spacious Full Turn's location is, there are multiple different chair types to fit those with different preferences and the place feels friendly and comfortable. There is someone to greet you when you arrive and brings you table water and a menu as well. We were seated in a table at the side of the room near the kitchen. The staff is super friendly and helpful and we even had table service! (not something you normally see in a cafè where I'm from). The coffee and food were delicious and beautifully presented, even the alfalfa on top of the eggs Benedict brought something to the dish. The croissant was perfectly heated and the cheese and ham in the centre was delish! To finish our breakfast we had to try one of their banana and nutela muffins and their Carmer Sutra Chai, if you like a traditional chai this is for you! It was an experience in itself and reminded me of having traditional chai with friends growing up. Do not overlook this cafè, if you do it would be a disservice to your taste buds!"
