Korner Cafe & Takeaway sits quietly tucked away on Japaddy Street amidst the industrial edges of Mordialloc, offering a practical pause for anyone working nearby or passing through the area. This café serves primarily as a straightforward spot for coffee and quick meals rather than a place for lingering or elaborate dining.

The interior is modest with limited seating, complemented by a few outdoor tables that catch the light during sunny breaks. Despite its size, the atmosphere carries a sense of familiarity, buoyed by friendly staff who handle the busy moments with ease, especially during peak hours. It’s the kind of place where locals from surrounding businesses drop by for their caffeine fix or grab a no-fuss bite to inject some energy into their workday.

What stands out most here is the quality of the espresso and the home-style takeaway options—both appreciated by regulars who don’t mind the short trip for a strong, well-made coffee and comfort food that feels freshly prepared rather than overly commercial. The menu leans toward classic café staples—meaty rolls, dim sims, and other easy-to-grab items—that fit the needs of an industrial neighborhood rather than a traditional café scene looking for variety or indulgence.

Parking can be tricky since there’s no designated lot, and there are no restroom facilities on site, so this spot suits quick stops more than extended visits. If your day calls for a break from the routine without the fuss, stopping by Korner Cafe during the morning rush or lunchtime may provide that small lift—a convenient little spot to ground your day with something reliably decent in both service and sustenance.

Do you have a mundane work day and need that spark to look forward to and break up that bland and boring work week and be catered with outstanding delicious food? Then you need to visit this little slice in the back streets of braeside. Ever since Maria and Nick have taken over the Korner cafe every visit has been the highlight of the day with a large array of freshly cook and prepared food that is to everyone's liking and if your like me and have that exact preference that's not on then menu, Maria and Nick and the team are happy to go that extra mile for you. It been over a year now and they have made my request for lunch day in and day out with out fail! Even when barging in at six in morning with my in your face morning joy Maria has met me with a smile and a delicious coffee! I wont even start on when I brought my family in for lunch time I cant recomend them enough!!! Friendly, Accommodating and will put a smile in tour day! Cheers for reading!

Tuck shop / Cafe located in the old Mordialloc industrial area on the corner of Japaddy and Fonceca Streets. Small premises with limited space for dining inside. Outside dining available, no car parking or toilets available. Offers basic meals found in most industrial areas aka... pork / beef rolls, dim sims, potato cakes. Has espresso machine. Premises looked clean and had signs Under New Management.

Good coffee. Small, It's an industrial cafe with little choice of cakes or food. Friendly staff, a few tables inside and outside too. For quality of coffee and friendly staff, it's a good choice if you're in the area.

2 medium cappuccinos for me in 1 day. Today: FRI 13/09/2024. I literally told the lady, with truth, that my 1st cuppa was too good, and I had to come back. Parking is a tad tricky, but you can work it out. You CAN get lucky on Friday the 13th!!

Excellent cafe with above average food, reliable coffee and fair pricing. Staff friendly. Nice outdoir seating and can usually find a park within 100 m.
