"Focus cafe has been around for about 3+years and it's the first time I visited this cafe when I found it through Zomato Gold.  There is current offer of 10% discount off total bill.<br/ The customer service and food quality was really good! What a great find.<br/ <br/ LOCATION<br/ Focus cafe is situated along Whitehorse Road on the busier strip of the shopping precinct near Balwyn Road corner.  The cafe is opposite to the Balwyn Library and McDonald's.<br/ <br/ The cafe is very spacious. From the exterior it doesnt look like much, but there are 3 separate sections including a large outdoor back area which can seat up to 40 customers. <br/ <br/ I actually hadn't noticed there was an outdoor area until I saw the waiter keep carrying food and opening a side door. So I wandered over to have a look and I decided to change my seat and move outside as it was such a nice day. <br/ <br/ SERVICE<br/ <br/ Customer service here are very warm and genuine.  The atmosphere is very relaxed and I enjoyed the outdoor vibe. <br/ Their menu changes twice a year summer and winter menu's! <br/ <br/ MENU/PRICE<br/ <br/ Matcha Green Tea Shake, $7.00<br/ <br/ Fritters, $17.50<br/ (pumpkin and feta fritters with grilled Alsace bacon, crushed avocado, sweet corn relish, cucumber yoghurt and a poached egg) <br/ <br/ VERDICT<br/ I had read previous reviews and was excited to try their pancakes but only thing that I could see on the menu that remotely related to pancakes was the french toast.  I was told that the menu had changed already. I was a little disappointed but finally decided to try their fritters. <br/ I have never tried pumpkin and feta fritters before. I've seen in cafe menu's mainly corn fritters. I changed the poached egg to a sunny side up fried egg instead. The egg was cooked perfectly! The food presentation on the plate was very colourful.<br/ I was pleasantly surprised to see that pumpkin fritters was actually fried I though the feta was mixed in with the pumpkin but it was actually sprinkled on top of the pumpkin fritter. I didnt mind the pumpkin fritters fried but it was a little too oily. The bacon and crushed avocado were delicious and completed well. I really liked the sweet corn relish, it was light and tasty, and cucumber yoghurt was a good dipping sauce for the fitters and helped balance the heaviness of the batter with the freshness of the yoghurt. <br/ <br/ The matcha green tea shake was very tasty! matcha flavour was light yet distinct, yum! <br/ I am interested to return to try the Soft Shell Crab Taco's."

"It's a nice looking cafe and there's a deli in here too. However the service we got today was below par. We wanted a table but the waiter said there was none and asked if we would mind sitting at the counter. We said ok. Then later, subsequent guests who were initially also seated at the counter were given tables but not us. When we inquired, he said we didn't ask for one! We said we clearly wanted a table as it was difficult for 3 persons to carry a conversation sitting at the counter!The food was good and honestly better than the one down the road although I agree with some of the comments that it is a little over rated. I had the crispy egg and thought it was saved by the more savoury meat that came with it under the pile of fresh salad."

"My family of five visited tonight and normally we have a problem with other restaurants where someone doesn’t like the food or it is super expensive. Here it was very good food. Excellent service. Great value. I asked each family member and they loved each meal."

"A local cafe that serves amazing Japanese inspired dishes! Lots of carbs, cute interior and amazing coffee! I absolutely loved the cream udon carbonara. It was perfectly balanced and tasted phenomenal. The curry omelette rice was creamy, light and sooo flavourful. The omelette was made perfectly! The prawn nori taco looked amazing, but it was a struggle to eat. Don’t get me wrong, it tasted great. But the slaw mix and lemon dressing made the bottom of the nori taco really soggy. We couldn’t really eat the bottom portion because of it. I love this place but it gets super busy! Highly recommend booking in advance or going in early if you want a table."

"If I could give this place 0 stars I would. By far the worst coffee and customer service I’ve ever had. The owner is arrogant, rude and misleading. I ordered a almond late which the menus failed to say used a vanilla almond milk. Upon bringing the coffee back and saying I don’t want or expect vanilla in my coffee and asked if I could have another milk, he refused to make me another one without paying for it. And then said I was picky and started abusing me. This man to speak to a women like this after a very reasonable request made me sick to my stomach. I highly recommend not to go here."
