Aintree Cafe & Garden

We had a beautiful lunch at the cafe. Ordered quiche and a vegetarian ciabatta with 2 large coffees and the orange almond cake. Price was $34 for all of it which was really reasonable. Food was wonderful, tasty and well presented. Service was exceptional. We sat outside the cafe watching the jumping pillow with kids at play. The outdoor area for seating was spacious and nice. Will definitely be back again. Thank you 😊

An amazing find! The Aintree Cafe & Garden was just what we needed for a brunch date! Tucked away near the playground in Woodlea off the Aintree Boulevard!
We like trying different cafes for our brunch dates and the Aintree Cafe didn't disappoint. The staff were friendly and lovely to deal with, the coffee was great, the menu options were catered for most dietary needs like gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options just to name a few.
Great for families with little kids, older kids and dogs! There is indoor and outdoor seating for customers. A must try for anyone who loves doing brunch dates!

Amazing local cafè with the most friendly staff and extremely community oriented! Such a beautiful atmosphere along with absolutely delicious food! I will be back soon no doubt 🥰 thank you so much!!

Our pitstop for brekkie on Saturdays. Amazing cafe and great food options for Vegetarians and Vegans. Coffee is great too.

Highly recommended!

Aintree Cafe and Garden - a slice of heaven on earth! This charming cafe has stolen my heart with its warm and welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious, healthy menu options. I always feel right at home when I visit, whether I'm grabbing a quick bite with friends or settling in for a leisurely brunch with my furry companion by my side. The outdoor garden is the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun, surrounded by lush greenery and the sounds of nature. This cafe truly has it all, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a little escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Aintree Cafe and Garden is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates good food, good company, and a good time!

Had a lovely brunch with friends. Great selection of vegetarian/vegan items with a relaxing atmosphere. I had a strong soy latte & the plant based breakfast. So lovely 😊

Park fronted with outdoor and indoor seating. Delicious food and is always presented beautifully. Friendly staff who are extra nice with kids.

Aintree Cafe & Garden is an impressive social enterprise model creating local employment opportunities with a strong focus on fresh and healthy food options. An excellent initiative in the growing City of Melton.

Love the food, coffee, location and super friendly service! As someone living with multiple food allergies eating out can often be a stressful experience but the staff here are incredibly thoughtful whenever I notify them or need to modify a dish where possible. I’m never made to feel like I’m a ‘difficult’ customer and the food comes out so lovingly prepared I always feel so safe and relaxed eating here! It means a lot to be so well cared for I can’t wait to come back :)

After arriving home from a wonderful vacation , I was not ready to cook ! I went in search of a local cafe for brunch & I am so glad I found this one! The food is incredible and generous portions ! The staff are wonderful & very welcoming ! I’ll definitely be back.

Excellent! Incredible food. Without exception the best meal i have ever eaten and i have been to Versace and No. 35 amongst others. the fresh produce and inspired flavours distinguish this cafe from the average. even the best Sth Melbourne cafes cannot compete with this. a gift for the west.

Located in the display village of Aintree across from the coolest state of the art park, Aintree Cafe is serving up local, ethical and organic coffee and food.
They're a not-for-profit social enterprise with all profits going back to the community and contributing to positive social change.
The cafe was packed with locals throughout our visit, it was lovely to see so many people out enjoying the food and coffee.
We ordered the zucchini and corn fritters and the smashed avo. Both dishes were generously portioned and didn't take long to arrive at the table, despite being so busy. Perfectly poached eggs, lots of fresh, colourful ingredients, and fritters (gluten free) cooked to perfection. All of the veggies on our plates were grown on-site in their Community Garden and they roast their own coffee beans.
Coffee is lovely and the medium size is massive!
Lots of vegan options on the menu and a cabinet full of takeaway savory meals and sweet treats.
The service was lovely too - if you're living west side, definitely pop in for a coffee and a chat :)

For me this is a cafe with a friendly atmosphere where staff care about your needs and how to help you have a great experience at their cafe. I think their coffee is some of the best coffee I’ve ever had and if the Mexican beans are available whenever you decide to pay a visit to the cafe I would definitely recommend those. I also love the way that this cafe supports the community by not only raising funds for community projects but also by creating a space for neighbors to come together and meet every day.

Amazing food, great coffee roasted on site and cool playground in front.

Best coffee I've had all year from here!! I should have asked for the barista's name! She's a keeper :)
Coffee strength was perfect but the best part was the milk! Creamy and the froth was smooth and silky!! Only ruined by the lid. Perfection.
I hope she works every Thursday mornings.

Given the circumstances of “living with COVID”, I felt safe knowing they were adhering to regulations and thoroughly checking to see if people entering were double vax. This little gem had a variety of vegetarian options on their menu and a humongous glass of coffee for dine-in customers (a must for any coffee lovers). The food I ordered was delicious! - Most importantly, they provided a welcoming and friendly service. I highly recommend this place!

Great coffee. Chef made a gluten free and nut free club sandwich on request. Love how they contribute to the community.

Took the family here after visiting the amazing playground across the road. Food was excellent. In particular the pulled pork baguette was made by someone who knows food. Service was also friendly and surprisingly quick given how busy the place was. Very kid friendly place. Recommend.
