Melbourne’s Café Culture in a day

Every Melbourne café is a haven where you can enjoy the passing parade.

Morning:
Caffe e Cucina
Experience the place where Melbourne’s coffee revival is said to have begun. Whilst you sip your divine coffee creation you can witness the fashion conscious strolling down Chapel Street. If you’re lucky, you may score the best seat in the house – a balcony with a fabulous view. For years rated as Australia’s number one café, Caffe e Cucina’s breakfast is an often talked-about matter.
581 Chapel Street, South Yarra

Lunch:
Richmond Hill Café and Larder
A perfect place for lunch due to the input from famous Melbourne restauranteur Stephanie Alexander. Apart from the award winning coffee and carefully crafted dishes, you can find here Australia’s No.1 cheese expert, Will Studd. Cheese shopping, here I come!
48-50 Bridge Road, Richmond

Afternoon:
Laurent Patisserie
This is no ordinary cake and coffee shop. Laurent is a place for that special afternoon break. The essence of the interior is delightfully European with Parisian chic in the heart of Melbourne. Croissants, pithiviers, quiches and custard doughnouts go well with the famous coffee.
306 Little Collins Street, Melbourne
Phone: +61 3 9654 1011

Evening:
Tiamo and Tiamo 2
For years, Tiamo has remained a favourite coffee place for Melburnians. It has a traditional setting and value for money food accompanied by coffee, which many describe as legendary. After a meal you can take in the atmosphere of Lygon Street, known as Melbourne’s Little Italy. Alternatively head down to the centre of the city only a few minutes away for nightlife entertainment.
