This is a nice little spot. Parking is easy and it's a quieter part of Brighton, so a more relaxed feeling. The food was good. As is the case with many of Melbourne's cafes, the menu could be identical to 100 other places, and I found there was nothing that sets these guys apart from others, but if you're in the area, it's nice to give it a go. The burger was great and cooked well. The fries were nice too. Everyone loved what they ordered. The only minor issues was the length of time it took to get the drinks, and one of the staff members did play with a dog outside at their outdoor tables and then came in but she didn't wash her hands before getting on with the next task. Seeing as it's in a nice area and the prices are reasonable and service is good, I would come back again one day for sure.
Great coffee, nice view and great food. They made some mistakes with our orders, but quickly to have it resolved. I was quite happy with their customers services. They locate inside a building so you need a code to use the bathroom, which I found a bit inconvenient but it doesn’t really affect the overall experience.
Walked in on Sunday at midday, easy walk-in & got a table for 2 without any trouble. Most tables were occupied, and there were only 2/3 wait staff on the floor that day so it was a given that we would be waiting for table service. Got our menus about 5 minutes after we got seated. The menu had all day breakfast options as well as a couple lunch meals that you could choose from; alongside a good variety of coffees, both hot and iced, tea, some juices and smoothies to choose from. The food and drinks took awhile to come, but it wasn’t too bad. Everything was super yummy, the cheesy croquettes were so tasty! This dish came with 3 croquettes, 2 poached eggs, bacon and chorizo. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the hollandaise sauce went so well with the eggs. I do wish there was more chipotle sauce to go with the croquettes. The Big Al’s breakfast had everything you’d expect for a big breakfast. It was so satisfied and full after at the end. No complaints here! The smoothie was very nice and refreshing too!

Nice place to have breakfast with my folks before taking a walk at Brighton Beach. Had the smashed peas. Healthy and wholesome. Something I don’t see in cafes in Singapore.
Brunch with my boys @thetampertrapbrighton They have such a delicious menu. Smoothies and milkshakes are a must try. My boy loved his big breakfast with all his favourites on one plate. We had the following Big Al’s Breakfast added smoked salmon Pink Friday Kids Hotcakes Chocolate Milkshake Strawberry Milkshake Banging Berries Smoothie Choc Chip Cookie
Good coffee and porridge. Cook put a lot of effort into presentation. Very pleasing. No papers all week . Minor criticism. Went a number of time same week. Service was good . Friendly staff. You won't be disappointed.Food: 4/5
If you’re looking for a great feed in the Brighton area it’s hard to go past The Tamper Trap. I recently visited this cafe for the second time and enjoyed the experience as much as I did the first time. Visiting for breakfast we ordered the cheesy croquette Benny with an added side of smashed avocado and the Trapped chilli scramble with a side of potato croquettes. To drink we had a matcha latte and a mocha. Both dishes came out beautifully plated. I thoroughly enjoyed the chilli scramble, it was packed full of flavour. This dish is on the larger side so it’s perfect if you’re looking for a filling feed. The side of potato croquettes were delicious, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. My friend loved the cheesy croquette Benny. The eggs were perfectly poached, the flavours worked together beautifully and the side of smashed avo added some freshness. Overall I had another great experience at The Tamper Trap. I rate it out of 5 and recommend you check them out if in the area. Thanks very much for having me.
The people are nice and food is great, but they charged $4.50 for a mini coffee - it was barely 8 ounces not the normal small size at other locations essentially the size of a baby cappuccino cup. So not really a bargain, but their food is good and their people are nice.
We really enjoyed our brunch at The Tamper Trap in Brighton. They have a gorgeous, light and modern space. The service is fantastic and the food is full of flavour and texture. We ordered two of their new menu items - baked eggs shakshuka with toast and the pea smash with halloumi and poached egg. Soooo yum! Definitely add them to your brunch list.
Great spot for a morning person. Good coffee and well cooked food
