Chit Chat Cafe & Bar

We came here to meet with some friends. My husband and friends ordered from the breakfast menu and the sizes are very generous, all of our food looked and tasted delicious! I would’ve loved a larger serving of the teriyaki chicken with rice, but I prefer generous sizes 🐷 ☺️ I’d recommend booking a table on the weekends as it does get quite busy. Friendly staff too! We will be back to try different things on the menu. Such a great local spot! Parking or PT is available at Surrey hills train station.

We visited Chit Chat Cafe & Bar on a wet cold night over the Anzac Day weekend. This great little cafe was open for its Japanese styled dinner service. It was having a private function out the back but staff were friendly and welcoming and accommodated us in the front part of the venue. We ordered the Japanese Karaage and some lotus chips for entree and followed this up with a Wagyu Beef Shogayaki bowl with soft poached egg and the new to the menu Soft Shell Crab fusion burger. The Karaage had a lovely light seasoning to it and I did enjoy the lotus chips ( I could eat these all day). My beef bowl was full of flavour and there was more than enough sauce to soak through the rice, which is always something I look out for. KD’s soft shell crab burger was massive and generous with a whole flash fried crab, pickled vegetables and a sriracha Mayo. Although I drank beer, their wine menu did stand out as being quite diverse and we were impressed by the number of wine by the glass options

Love the unique menu! Scrambled tofu and the fries are divine. Great service and cute courtyard!

Great staff, coffee and Japanese style food. Open on Sundays as well which is nice, seeing as other cafes are closed on Sundays.

Wonderful food and friendly service.

Amazing food and service.

Gorgeous and tasty

Fo0die dined as a guest of Chit Chat Cafe and as such, the rating does not give any consideration to customer service. A small cafe located on Union Road in Surrey Hills, close by to Surrey Hills train station. The venue has a small indoor dining space and a large outdoor undercover space, this was where we sat for our visit. Food-wise, we had the salmon rosti which was recommended to us by the team here, and the Chit Chat brekky special which is their 'big brekky' equivalent. The salmon rosti was beautifully presented and nicely balanced off with a pickled salad which I wished we had a bit more of in the dish. The brekky special was a good portion size for us with a good amount of bacon (more than what we have seen at other venues). And what we loved was that the large coffee was actually a large one in a big mug! Overall we think the price at Chit Chat is very reasonable for the dishes they offer.

Cute and quaint little joint in Surrey Hills. We sat in the outdoor area out back on a sunny Sunday morning. Absolutely recommend the salmon rosti with house cured salmon, and cracking coffee to boot. Justin was lovely to deal with as well. Will definitely be back for more soon!

I went here a few months ago and the food and coffee was decent then I came again for the third time and the service was even slower on a Sunday morning. It wasn’t overly busy. I got my coffee with a friend however waited over an hour for my food and I knew they have always been slow but not to this degree. I went up to the counter only to find that our order had not gone through. I simple follow up and asking if the customers are okay would have prevented this from occurring. It is bad enough that the service is slow but to completely miss an order not acceptable.
