Directions

A beloved North Melbourne cafe housed in a historic auction room space, known for excellent brunch, quality St Ali coffee, and warm nostalgic ambiance. The food is genuinely good—try the chicken salad or eggs on toast—but prices run high ($40–70 for a meal), so come prepared for premium cafe pricing.
