AMAZING breakfast/brunch options and outstanding coffees

This place has it all - amazing food, coffee, service and vibe. It’s inside Melbourne’s first telephone exchange. You won’t be disappointed.

I’m curious. What did you have? It looks like there are only 2 vegan options for breakfast and 1 for lunch?

We had the avo on toast, and the gochujang tofu (ridiculously good!!). There’s also granola, mango almond chai pudding and miso butter mushrooms. They said they could pretty much make most dishes vegan by removing eggs and sauces etc

Thanks. I saw the bit about it “no substitutions” and assumed they wouldn’t remove any items either!

Great breakfast spot

Ate here several times mid-morning on a weekday. Little to no wait. Black rice porridge was very good. Tofu scramble on toast with broccolini also a great choice. Avo toast was also tasty, but the toast slices were huge! Coffee was hit & miss, but overall a nice experience and solid vegan spot in the CBD.

Pros: Solid vegan breakfast options, Friendly staff, Goid vibe

Cons: Coffee could’ve been better

Great brunch & coffee

In an old telephone exchange this is a lovely space with fun art work and branding. The breakfasts and brunch items are very good. The teriyaki mushrooms included 3 varieties (oyster, enoki and ?chestnut)! Coffee was excellent. Juices also recommended. Does not take bookings at weekends but we didn’t have to wait. Very handy for Victoria market.

Pros: Excellent food , Great coffee, Lovely space

Cons: Serves meat
