Top Coffee shops in Melbourne, Australia

A very cozy places. Too bad there is limited time they serve avocado menu.
So when we got there around 3PM they gave us menu with no avocado word on the list.

Food was absolutely delicious, and loved the options in board games... So much to play, and cozy vibes

Good coffee as well

Tucked away in a bustling street in the heart of Melbourne CBD, this café offers a unique and inviting vibe that sets it apart. The service is attentive, and the menu focuses on avocado, featuring a variety of delicious options. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection, adding a balanced touch to the meal. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and look forward to returning for another lovely coffee or brunch. Well done to the team for creating such a delightful spot!

A must visit for avocado lovers. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. There is also a corner for board games and the other end for karaoke! The service was outstanding. We had a pleasant experience :)

Great food, fabulous music and lovely staff! What more could you want…as out of towners this little cafe was the perfect Melbourne brunch location 😍

Look at The salad $24, which isn't as colorful as Woolies' $5 salad. The pancake $28, but it's thick and already hardened. Also, the bespectacled female employee didn't finish coffee, but she's going to take it. Many travelers bring their carriers to visit, but I don't want them to be disappointed with Melbourne's coffee culture. I wouldn't go back again.

It’s famous for its brunch, so it’s definitely worth a try. I love the atmosphere of the place where is cool but cozy in its own way. The portions were too big, so we had to leave some, but the flavours were good. Just the price is bit expensive compared to other brunch places.

amazing quality food. they had these deliciousssss pistachio croissant the first time i went there and it was so good that i wanted to immediately go back to get another one. i did go back a month later but they had taken it off their menu i think. i asked and they said they just don’t have it so i went for the choc croissant. maybe it was a limited time thing. but the ube waffle is amazing. their drinks are pretty good too.

Nice restaurant that I was highly anticipating but it fell a little short. The restaurant itself is simply stunning, would make for an incredible venue for a special event. Coffee was exceptional, but service felt a little cold, forced, and the hotcakes were drowned in maple syrup making it just far too sweet for me to enjoy. It’s on the pricier side, $30 for ricotta hotcakes is definitely a little steep. I rate it well for a casual solo meal however, they have fantastic bench seating that overlooks the restaurant.

Loved the vibe of this cafe! Buzzing and mostly corporate clientele during the week.

Very thick fluffy gluten free bread which is always a good surprise! Lovely presentation of the scrambled eggs which were creamy and big portion. Good selection of pastries and amazing breakfast menu.

They do a pretty good matcha. Not the best I’ve had but still good.

Would absolutely come back on a weekend where I have more time to sit back and enjoy.

We’ve booked this months ahead so we could get seats. It’s always been so busy too. Love the decor. My food was a little too salty for my liking. I got the Spanner Crab Benedict because it was different. The scrambled was good. I’d still recommend this place.

After a four-year absence from Melbourne, my spouse and I made this our first stop after leaving the airport. This place is undoubtedly one of the best place in Melbourne for breakfast, brunch, and exceptional coffee. The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious, and the staff were friendly and professional. Overall, the experience was as remarkable as we remembered from our previous visit. I recommend making a reservation in advance to avoid waiting in line, as this place is quite popular.

Great brunch and breakfast spot near Flagstaff station. Went in on the long weekend and it was busy already. They have a wide menu offering meals and coffee. Some of the meals being served too good to be eaten. I ordered a simple toast along with the famous vegemite and peanut butter as well as a cafe latte. Can't really go wrong with toast while the coffee was good but not as much as I really expected. They have seating outside too and by the time I left around 1030am there was a long line waiting to get in. 15 AUD for my meal is quite decent pricing in an otherwise expensive city.

Amazing food 😍
Service/ place: we waited around 15 minutes to be seated for breakfast due to the high amount of guests - but absolutely worth the wait. Also we visited with our 8 month old son who where in a stroller and the staff where kind to allow the stroller inside.
The acoustic is a bit bad but not a real problem.
Food: We ordered the pretzel with avocado and the cale salad - both delicious. And a flat white ☕️ For next time I would save the salad for a lunch visit and order pretzel, sourdough or waffle with salmon. Thank you for a great experience!

Love the ricotta hot cakes. To me, the portion was huge, it is better to share the sweet and order another savory selections for yourself. We tried several dishes and everything was good.

The food and service were nice, we love the place and we visited this restaurant twice in our short trip. And we would love to dine here again when we visited Melbourne in another time.

Calling all avocado lovers out there - this is a must visit if you love avocado. The options are both healthy and delicious! They have helpful pictures of each dish to help you decide which combination/options you’d like in your dish. Plenty of hot and cold drink options as well. I had the Good Start and Avocado Strawberry smoothie, and a soy chai. The chai was so-so but everything else was amazing and pretty too!

This place also had board games and karaoke if you’re looking for something fun to do after your brunch! Plenty of seats so I didn’t need to book on a Saturday morning around 10am.

A popular brunch place near Flagstaff garden. Came on a weekday at 12, waited around 30 minutes. Service was prompted. I am not a coffee person but the matcha latte was nice. The food presentation was great as well. The taste was however just above average, can't really remember one dish that's stand out. Worth a try if you are around and there is no line.

Although my partner and I had to wait for a while because it was packed during lunchtime and it’s one of the popular cafes here, this is one of my favourite cafes in Melbourne! The food is on the pricier side but it’s definitely worth it. The food was presented beautifully and the coffee was amazing and I’m willing to try the other foods on their menu. I’ll definitely be back if I come back to Melbourne again :) I just have to make a booking prior

The overall experience was good. The staff was nice and the food was really good. Just you may need to wait for 45 mins outside under the sun lining up outdoor. The toast with soft-shelled crab was really good and the coffee was nice as well. The sweet pancake wasn’t as good as I thought though - it is still worth a try.

Cafe is quite popular, one day we walked passed but decided to come the next day. It was well worth the wait. We ordered the smashed yuzu avocado toast with extras and the corn fritters with extra mushrooms. The servings were large and extremely filling but absolutely delicious. We would definitely come again and picked the other dishes to try! Highly recommend to visit if you’re in Melbourne!

Surprising back-alley Café, with a chill, well-presented vibe, great coffee for your little hideaway me-time in the city. So, let’s break it down…

Atmosphere: ****
Excellently presented, clean, welcoming and the décor is an amazing fit for a place that is literally in an off-street ally. It honestly seems like the perfect get away inside the city if you want to zone out the hustle and bustle of the city. My only disappointment is that the front counter and menus seem cluttered and compressed - the specials board is way off to the right. Had I have seen it; I would have ordered the omelette. Otherwise, it is awesome!

Customer Service: ****
It was early in the morning, and it seemed like the representative was a little distracted, which could have explained the latte I received and not the flat white. I drink both, so it wasn’t an issue but still.
Apart from that the service was impeccable and so was the timing. Well Done.

Food (Why we are here): ****
Order: Bacon, Egg Cheese Muffin with Tomato Relish & large skinny flat white
Muffin: It was pre-prepared and ready to go – but it was delicious, it was the relish which added the extra tasty goodness.
Coffee: While it was supposed to be a flat white, the latte and coffee was excellent. Great temperature, excellent flavour and very morish. Was very tempted to grab a takeaway for the road when finished.

Overall: ****
While there are small improvements to be made, I wasn’t disappointed with the quality of food that was provided, and it was a nice place to warm up to your working day. If I'm back this way again, I will certainly be getting another coffee. Thank you, Cafinatics.

Nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating close to flagstaff gardens. Be prepared to wait for while if you visit on weekends. Usually busy. Great options in the menu. I had the corn fritters, could definitely use more seasoning. Their iced coffee was the best!

Visited here from the UK whilst staying in Melbourne to visit family. Loved the friendly atmosphere, the food was great and the staff were so welcoming and happy to see us. Think we visited every morning for the short time we were there. Great little find, if we're ever there again we'd definitely visit 😀

On 15 October we went to this cute cafe and we got:

☕️ Affogato & Iced Coffee
🥑 Avo Chookie
🥑 Berry Good

This place is located at the same place as Marche the board game cafe. The coffee was nice, the food had a big portion (look at the amount of avo we got!!) and it’s a great value for sure 💰 The dishes were presented beautifully too!

The Avo Chookie is the classic savory dish, but don’t miss out on the Berry Good! I swear Avo belongs in a sweet dish 😍 The strawberry cream perfectly combined all elements together, and the soft bread soaked up all the flavors.

Overall, a great place to visit with your loved ones! ✨

We had Nick and the Team cater for our Budget & Strategy meeting. Morning coffee (most important) and toasties was delivered bang-on time and well enjoyed by all (you do make an excellent coffee). The lunch selection was too was really good and punctual again.
Thanks Guys.
Stokes Safety Pty Ltd

Recently had the pleasure of visiting Cafenatics on Collins Street in Melbourne, we were immediately greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The modern decor, coupled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, instantly set the tone for a delightful visit.

We had cappuccino , english tea, spinach and eggs wrap and it was one of the best I've ever had - rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced.

The staff at Cafenatics deserve special praise for their friendliness and attentiveness. They were genuinely passionate about their craft and made sure every customer felt valued and comfortable.

Cafenatics is a great place for coffee or a meal
The people here are friendly and professional.
Had their porridge and coffee this morning. The coffee is always great. The porridge is my first here, and it’s amazing. And a huge portion too.

They are finally getting busier after Covid lockdowns which is great to see. But doesn’t matter how busy, they always give great service.

It’s one of my “go to” cafes in the city

Cozy place tucked in a lane right opposite to Intercontinental.

Just like name they do amazing coffee, we had regular and almond flat white with a sandwich & cheese toastie. Plus super friendly barista :)

I’d say beautiful spot for a quick breakfast.

Sometimes you just need to keep it simple.

Amazing coffee... Quick, simple and tasty food... What more could you ask for when you're on your way to work or meeting for a quick coffee? This cute little cafe has it all.

The avo toast is my favourite but the rest of the menu won't disappoint. This place is quickly becoming my regular when I visit Melbourne for work.

Melbourne is full of hidden gems, and Higher Ground definitely falls into that category. Tucked away in a heritage-listed building, it's not your typical cafe. It has this cool industrial-chic vibe, with exposed brick walls and a multi-level layout that feels both spacious and intimate.

I went for brunch and was blown away by the menu. It's not your average fare - think avocado pretzel with a fancy twist or fiery chili scrambled eggs. I opted for the ricotta hotcakes with poached pears and maple syrup, and it was divine. The portion was perfect, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was beautiful.

The service was another highlight. The staff were friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. They were happy to answer my questions about the menu and the building's history, which added to the whole experience.

Overall, Higher Ground is a fantastic spot for a special occasion or just a treat. It's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the food, the ambiance, and the service definitely justify the cost. I left feeling satisfied and already planning my next visit!

Found on eatclub, this cafe is tucked away in a side lane off Collins st. First impression is this place is popular with all the office workers around. Table service is available and the staff are all friendly and welcoming.

The wild mushrooms was a good portion, had an amazingnearthly flavour from the truffle oil and the egg on top was poached perfectly.

Good:
Perfectly cooked egg
Truffle oil
Generous portions
Great coffee
Friendly service
Book through eatclub for 35%off

Bad:
Not the easiest to find
Bathrooms off site.

Verdict:
Good meals, friendly service, eatclub discount. Would recommend.
