3 Queen Bees - Balwyn North

With adequate parking out the back this cafe has direct access from the carpark. You have the option to sit outdoors or indoors.The furnishings are quirky with armchairs and coffee tables in the front windows; small tables for 2- 4 as well as larger dining tables accommodating 6+ all with mismatched chairs which adds to the allure of this place.I also noticed another dining area which I assume can be booked for private functions.On display is an interesting collection of tins and decorator items.On a cold Melbourne day with the sun out, the dining room was very cosy.We came for lunch and whilst the food offering is small it certainly covers all bases with meat, chicken, vegetarian options and also foccacias and cakes from the display.A lovely assortment of specialty teas is also available and the staff are very friendly.

Another addition to the North Balwyn cafe scene, the decor is quirky op-shop chic and felt a little sparse, even half full. Likewise the food, although nicely presented, there was only a menu for breakfast, lunch seemed to be what was on display - foccacias, filled croissants and similar and there wasn't much to show. Nevertheless, service was friendly, if very disorganised, so when this is sorted and some menu offerings added, this will be a great little cafe for breakfast or lunch.

This place is huge! We came here for their night market instead of their day market At night this area is the spot.

I expected more of this market given all the postive reviews I readThe market reminded me of any flea market in a typical 3rd tier city in China - dirty,

Queen Victoria Market might not feel touristy enough for touristsI like the down to earth flea market like vibe.
