Café Vita et flores - Springvale - Springvale, Victoria

M

We drove past and just for an afternoon tea like a coffee and pastry. We didn't know the cafe was located in the cemetery until we arrived because we followed the Google review with the ratings.
We ordered Spinach Roll, Chicken, and Mushrooms Filo with 2 lattes in a glass.
Coffee was good, and we enjoyed the Mushrooms Filo.
Reasonable price on Sunday.
It's very comfortable seating, quiet and friendly staff.
Food and coffee came very quickly. Definitely not bring someone for a date as the cemetery just on the right when you drove in.

Delicious food & such lovely service,
the parking is difficult to find as it’s very busy for a cemetery but the cafe has plenty of seats however the service can be slow when it come to the drinks since the amount of people that come in mainly like to have coffee/tea! I had the cafe vita breakfast which was delightful & tasty, the coffee was also very nice & huge I mean huge! definitely worth the price, I was however disappointed in the flower shop as it was overpriced & all the flowers were dried out, will however definitely come back to the cafe again when visiting. ☕️💐

However I just realised I didn’t receive my hash brown with my food?

We were hosting a funeral at the memorial
Park today, had left voicemails to book an area at the cafe, but never received a call back. On arriving we immediately went to the cafe to advise that we would have 20 people coming for a coffee/snack later in the afternoon. When we returned after the funeral, we were greeted by a very rude staff member who asked us why we hadn’t made a booking despite the above attempts. Throughout our stay, that particular staff member acted like it was a disservice that there were patrons in the cafe, shouting out coffee orders, reluctantly accepting any hot food orders and reminding us when the cafe was closing. Not the service or experience we would expect at any cafe, let alone at one attached to a funeral venue where compassionate staff are required.

Nice clean cafe. Airy with neutral tones. Good spacing between tables too. The coffee was pretty good here. The scrambled eggs were pedestrian and ordinary though - pretty bland with minimal flavour. Service was just OK - good from some people, peremptory from others. My impression is that this place is a little too comfortable with its captured market and it needs a lift.

When in Melbourne this a lovely large open space café with attentive staff. The food is highly recommended. They have from the traditional scones with homemade jam through to restaurant quality meals with numerous counter display options and salads. Coffee is delicious. Smoothies.

We visited Cafe Vita whilst visiting a relative in the Springvale area. We found the listing on Google Maps, the open plan seating area and clean facility is what drew me in. There was no reference to it being within the cemetary grounds, which may confuse some.

However I had no issues locating it, walking in and seating ourselves down. No table or greeting services here but that's fine with me.

The menu is brief and to the point, as they also have a selection of items at the counter to glaze over and choose from. The attendant at the cashier sadly was a bit of a let down, seemed very disinterested to serve customers, frowning and disinterested attitude.

Overall a pleasant dining experience, the food and coffee was fantastic, wait staff excellent at delivery and taking away of plates. 4 stars.
