One of Melbourne's most successful and popular not-for-profit social enterprises, Now and Not Yet, just over the road from the beautiful Yarra River, is a cafe worth visiting. Featured on channel nine postcards, our passionate chef team has worked for some of the industry's leaders, such as Stephanie Alexander. The classic Melbourne cafe menu offers all-day breakfast with the flavour-packed smashed avocado and a great selection of lunch options. The industrial character creates a welcome but funky environment that fits well into the beautiful leafy country in the city Warrandyte vibe.

Amazing food, amazing service and somehow they have managed to get the acoustics perfect - you can have a conversation and not have overspill from the other diners. Loved it!

Always great coffee and the food is amazing. Sadly they fogot the kids meals on this occasion- but didnt charge us for the milkshakes in the end as compensation. Love the location and the staff are friendly. Their commitment to the community is inspiring.

It is a lovely place and I love that they give profits to charity. But it was very noisy and I question whether they needed that background music as well. Selfie was quick and cheerful and good very fresh
