This “Cali-style” Mexican joint takes inspiration from the San Francisco suburb it's named after. Come for hulking burritos filled with pork carnitas, saucy queso tacos and house-made horchata. You can’t miss it – look for the glowing, burrito-worshipping neon sign.

American-style burgers, chips with auntie-made seasoning, and shakes “loaded” with Oreos, Nutella and hazelnut praline.

One of the most remarkable dining experiences in the world. And it’s right here in Melbourne.

A sourdough micro-bakery by loyally followed baker Maaryasha Werdiger. She's pulling crowds with her sourdough loaves, pillowy focaccia, beautifully braided challah and swirly chocolate babka.

A wholefood store without a superiority complex.

A family-run favourite that’s been producing sourdough for more than 25 years. It's the kind of reliable neighbourhood bakery that always has you covered with quality bread, or a generously filled sandwich and slice of cake to go.

A friendly Ripponlea local cafe.
