Friends of Ours Cafe

Fantastic, friendly and trendy cafe. Amazing food and coffee. Staff friendly and service was great. Plenty of tables and chairs both outside and inside. Wheelchair access only outside. Pastry cabinet and kids menu. Will be back next visit. Thank you.

Absolutely terrific cafe. I really must recommend this place. It does everything well. Service, food, atmosphere and price. I enjoyed breakfast one morning. It was busy but service was always there. Friendly. Fast. Coffee is magnificent. Love it

Awesome food and super-friendly staff! It's easily one of the best cafes in Melbourne. My recommendation to all the peeps exploring hidden gems in Melbourne is to visit this cafe. I went there for breakfast with my fam and was blown over by the excellent food and the cool vibes of this place.

Incredible brunch and great coffee, definitely worth a visit! Scrambled eggs with truffle and feta is a game changer! The staff are also very welcoming.

Cosy ambiance, delightful drinks, and friendly service make it a perfect spot to unwind.

Always super accommodating (with my family having ridiculous orders and substitutions), staff are friendly and give great service. Quick to bring refills of water, take empty plates, and check in. Very pet friendly. Food is DELICIOUS and consistent. The menu is diverse enough to make everyone happy. Great location and atmosphere. I would highly recommend giving them a visit for smiling faces and great food.

Super chill cafe with bomb as food and tasty coffee. Was lucky enough to have some sun so was able to sit outside. Closest Parking is 1P only but you can park right in front of the cafe. Being 10 minutes away from the Airport, good place to chill while you wait for your family arriving from overseas. Service was fantastic from the waitress that day.

Visited 9Sep23 & 7May23
One of popular cafe in Essendon in front of a tram line.
They use Elevate coffee beans and my tasting note for the strong long black is: very rich, beautiful strong aroma, med-full strength, Columbian Brazil nutty chocolate perfect traditional style😍😋👍

Very friendly customer service and attentive.
Just go and relax.
Great place to catch up with friends and family.

I ordered THE MEDITERRANEAN •Avo on Sourdough bread topped with 2 perfectly poached eggs, Grilled Halloumi Cheese, Mushrooms, Olives and Spicy Sauce on the Side with Sliced Lemon•

Friendly staff, attentive and accommodating. Tasty food and the place is always packed.
Would recommend when you’re in the area.

popped in for breakfast during our trip to Melbourne. had the brekky burger & the Mediterranean one, both were awesome! great coffee & friendly service really made a good start to our day. loved the vibes of this cafe & can't wait to dine in again the next time we're back in aussie! 😋

I’m from Brizzie and stayed in Essendon for a business trip. Each morning I enjoyed the best breakfast and coffee to set me up with plenty of nutrition and energy for my day. The staff were friendly and the service was timely. I can highly recommend Friends of Ours wether it’s just for a take away coffee or one of their delicious and nutritious meals. They are Gluten free and Vegan friendly.

I’m a very regular customer of Friends of Ours cafe in Essendon, I usually go there for a coffee while I’m working and sometimes grab food along the way the baristas Beau, Paul and everyone else are absolutely amazing at what they do I’m very typical when it comes to my coffee as some cafes I’ve been too I’ve ordered from them and it really doesn’t taste that great but from this cafe it’s always been amazing have never had any issue with my coffee or food the staff are extremely friendly and amazing to talk too highly highly recommend

Great coffee, and staff are very friendly. We love coming here for brunch

Just had breakfast there. Waitress was so friendly & accommodating Wish I ordered the breakfast burger - had a taste & it was so tasty. All meals were good.

After a shocking day with the airport and having our luggage gone missing this cafe saved our day. We had the best breakfast after a two week holiday in New Zealand and this one had the best service and food! Beautiful service and coffee to die for. Just wish you came to albury!

Best cafe experience I have ever had. Amazing, friendly service, delicious food with great portions, lovely atmosphere. 100% recommend.

Very nice food and super friendly staff. Kid friendly cafe - little one had Vegemite soldiers which were great.

Looking for a really good coffee? This is your place. Absolutely delicious, I had a second flat white with my scrambled eggs. The staff is super friendly and gentle. I loved the vibes and the feeling of community that I perceived in this beautiful cafe. I also like the designe and style of the place. Cozy and cool.

It’s my favourite Café for take away and decided to give a try on breakfast.
The place has a great outdoor area and usually is quite busy, even during weekdays.
I choose the waffles and what surprise. The maple and pistachio let the dish on a top rate. Fresh fruits and good amount of Nutella.

I’ll definitely be back to try the other breaky choices.

Food is great here. Prices are typical of brunch locationa these days. Customer service was mostly friendly. Atmosphere was nice, popular location. Menu haa typical items nothing too special.
