north melbourne cafes

Lumen People

Cafe

A light and bright cafe serving stacked breakfast buns with pillowy omelette and cheese, and Swedish-style cinnamon buns. Plus, Seven Seeds coffee, key-lime-pie shakes and natural wines.

Mörk Chocolate Brew House

Cafe

A bean-to-cup hot chocolate experience.

Baguette Studios

Cafe

This is one of the few spots in Melbourne that blends traditional French baguettes with bold Korean flavours. You might find jambon-beurre sandwiches alongside a beef bulgolgi-inspired cheesesteak.

Marie Antoinette

Cafe

In the site once home to one of Melbourne’s best-loved cake shops, you’ll find knafeh, “Melburnian cheesecake”, Nutella cookies and pizza made with 96-hour slow-fermented dough.

Le Bajo Milkbar

Cafe

At this Japanese cafe, almost everything revolves around fluffy-house baked shokupan (which you can get to take away). You'll also find fried-chicken katsu sandos, teriyaki fries and airy sponge cake.

Market Lane in the Queen Vic Market Dairy Hall

Cafe

Market Lane sets up in the bustling Dairy Hall at Queen Vic.

Auction Rooms

Cafe

This buzzing, industrial-chic spot is one of the area's most popular spots for brunch, for good reason. The coffee's great and the dishes – which aren't as revolutionary as they were when Auction Rooms first opened – are well-executed.
