Great Cafe for brunch. Lovvveee the potato rosti avo stack - worth coming to the area just for that dish. Cafe owners seem lovely, very child friendly and accommodating. Will be back for sure.

Great little cafe that continues to push out great food and service. Today was lunch on a Sunday long weekend. We had the chicken leek and pumpkin pie with wonderful relish and salad side and an ice cold Mango Orange Schweppes. Ice in the tall glass thank you. She had the rosti and avocado stack. Ice coffee. Perfect. Service is always friendly and helpful. A must visit.

A Delightful Café Experience at Split Bean Mernda! From the moment I stepped into Split Bean Café, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere hit the perfect balance between cosy and vibrant—airy, beautifully styled, yet with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I ordered their signature flat white and a freshly baked banana bread. The coffee arrived perfectly steamed with that velvety crema, and the aroma alone was a delight. One sip and I knew I’d found my new go-to café brew. The banana bread was moist, just the right amount of sweetness, and topped with a light drizzle that elevated it to perfection. What really made the visit stand out was the staff. They were genuinely friendly, greeted me with smiles, and took the time to chat about their ingredient sources—they even recommended a seasonal smoothie that turned out to be delicious. You could tell they genuinely care about quality and customer enjoyment. The café’s layout is thoughtfully designed for both quick bites and lingering moments, with comfy seating and plenty of natural light. I sat for a while, watched neighbourhood life go by, got some work done, and never once felt rushed. In short, Split Bean Café delivers outstanding coffee, delicious food, and warm service in a beautiful setting. Whether you're after a peaceful morning pick-me-up or a laid-back midday catch-up spot, this place nails it. A true gem in Mernda—I'll definitely be back!

Haven’t been there in person.. yet :) But I ordered through Uber and I’m pretty satisfied! The pancakes were very tasty and the portions were perfect! I asked for eggs over easy (almost every cafe overcooks the eggs when I ask for over easy) but these guys got it just right! Pretty stoked and can’t wait to visit in person! Thank you <3
