What’s Open in Melbourne for Summer 2023/24: Cafes

Updated 9 months ago

Share

This time of year is strange: most of us have a fair bit of time off, but so do our favourite venues. Thankfully, quite a few cafes are staying open over the holidays to make sure you get out of the house. Some are old favourites, others are some of the best new spots in town. They’re all worth a visit – use this break as an excuse to finally get to that spot across town you’ve been meaning to visit.
