After a fantastic first visit on a heaving weekend, we happily returned to Auction Rooms on a much calmer weekday, expecting the same magic, great food, great coffee, great vibes.nnAuction Rooms remains an absolute Nth Melb institution. The industrial, loft-style space is still gorgeous, flooded with natural light, filled with plants, and offering everything from communal tables to outdoor street seating. It’s vibrant, welcoming, & effortlessly Melbourne.nnThe food? Still outstanding.nThe Rhubarb French Toast $26 to me is a show-stopper.nThe Beer Braised Pork Benedict $28 is rich, indulgent, & worth every calorie.nAnd the coffee is strong enough to hold its own in Australia’s coffee capital, which is saying something. Every dish is delicious & Instagram-ready.nnUnfortunately, while the plates were warm, one part of the service was… distinctly cold.nnOn this quieter weekday, we were served by a male waiter skinny, bald Caucasian name unknown whose enthusiasm suggested we’d interrupted something deeply important by asking if we could sit down, he pointed us to a another table & directed us to sit on the other side instead. There was no smile, no welcome, just an air of urgency usually reserved for emergency rooms or kidney heists.nnHe took our coffee order quickly, stated to return for food… & then vanished. Coffee arrived. Time passed. Still no waiter. Eventually, we waved down a much friendlier waitress who kindly took our order, thank you, mystery hero.nnThe plot thickened at the neighbouring table. A lady dining solo politely asked the same waiter, who was clearly assigned to our area, if he could take her order when ready, mentioning her friend would arrive shortly. A simple “Sure, I’ll be back soon” would’ve done the trick. Instead, she received a curt response about needing to do “these tables first,” delivered with the tone of someone under extreme pressure.nn“These tables,” by the way, were two recently vacated tables that required resetting, not exactly a fire-alarm crisis. He then proceeded to reset them… wander around… do various low-priority tasks… before eventually returning to her. Watching this unfold was uncomfortable to me enough that I could only offer the poor woman a silent nod of solidarity.nnConfidence is great. Hospitality without warmth, however, is just theatre without an audience.nnTo be clear: other staff members were friendly, welcoming, & professional, just like during our first visit. This inconsistency in service is what left a sour note in an otherwise exceptional experience.nnIf this were a factory canteen, I wouldn’t blink. But in a café of this calibre, every customer deserves basic courtesy, not a “do as you’re told” attitude from someone who seems to believe they’re the most important person in the room.nnBottom line:nAuction Rooms is still absolutely worth visiting, weekday or weekend, if you love great food, excellent coffee, & soaking up Melb café culture. Just cross your fingers that your experience doesn’t depend on the overly confident, snobby waiter making a guest appearance.
One of those cafés that give Melbourne its vibrancy and charm. A lofty spacious venue with diverse seating options indoors and outdoors, small and communal tables, window seats and even a few solo diner tables. The menu is predictably filled with brekkie-brunch staples, and Auction Rooms’ variations on those are very palatable. The coffee is good. The staff is friendly and efficient.
A wonderful brunch find. Was lucky to have been able to use the outdoor seating on a sunny day and enjoyed the tasty brunch options with the highlight being the pulled pork eggs Benedict. Also enjoyed the chilli scrambled eggs. Friendly service throughout the meal.
Great cafe, great food, not much more to say. Staff are friendly and polite. Space is warm and inviting. Great coffee. A tad pricey but quality is worth it.
A very popular cafe in North Melbourne and in my opinion, one of the best in Melbourne. I love the menu. The menu looks amazing. I recommend the Pan Fried Tasmanian Salmon. The Rhubard French Toast is also a great option. The coffee here is always on point. The cafe is spacious.
